Anantara Sir Bani Yas Island Al Yamm Villas

Fatma Alansari

I'm currently staying at this hotel, and unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory. First, the hotel failed to properly arrange boat schedules that caused delay to our room—we had to wait two hours before we could check into our room, despite having a confirmed reservation. As for breakfast, the options were VERY limited, with little variety to accommodate different preferences (those kind of resorts should have a really big variety as well can't order anything from outside). However, room service was also disappointingly slow, and when the food finally arrived, its quality was far below the standard I’ve experienced at other hotels and wasn't fresh at all. Overall, the service was poor, and there was a clear lack of attention to guest satisfaction. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a smooth and comfortable stay. The only good thing was the villa and the pool.

Al Yamm Villa provides a glimpse of what the Maldives looks like, with beautiful sunrises to wake up to and deer walking around at night. Our beachfront room is nothing short of amazing; the pool is heated, and the beach is just a short walk away from your doorstep. When you arrive at the island, a shuttle to your villa awaits you outside. You'll have a pleasant ride, and when you reach the hotel lobby, everyone is so welcoming that you'll even receive a free massage while waiting for your room to be ready. Once the room is prepared, a buggy will drive you to your villa, and you'll be amazed by the room and the view for the rest of the day.

The island nature is amazing but everything else from the hotel to the service is just backdated & not worth value to money, such a remote island needs more flexibility from the hotel & the staff specially the chef who refused to make a grilled cheese sandwich! Ordered Ice bucket in the room which took 40 minutes ! Took a private horse ride & had to wait more than 30 minutes for a shuttle to pick us back while our reservation is timed & hotel knows exactly when we are finishing and ready to move ! Went to the reception at 6pm to close my bill & share my review with a duty manager or supervisor which obviously was not available! In addition, I parked my car in shade as advised by hotel staff to protect it from natural factors but a very slight rain turned my car to what you can see in the picture ! The only good thing is Mr Abdullah from the safari drive. Thankfully later they complimented the horse riding experience in return to all the above.

The stay was fantastic. The resort was located perfectly, The fusion of the sea and trees definitely added to the scenic beauty of the place. The staff were incredibly nice. The safari is a must go! All in all, the stay was perfect. A well deserved 5 stars.

It's almost the most beautiful place in Abu Dhabi. So quite, so beautiful natural life and luxurious stay. You need to be cautious when booking activities like horse riding and kayaking, and ask to see the price breakdown as they are really overpriced. There's a beautiful biking track where I used for running (bikes are provided for free). Peacocks will come to your villa looking for food :) gazelles will be everywhere. I didn't do the safari this time because I did it before and it's awesome.
