Al Ruwais, Da‘sah, United Arab Emirates – Great location - show map
Very nice property with a great wild life experience. Staff are friendly.
United Arab EmiratesWe had great stay in the hotel. The stuff made it even better. We had a room with beautiful sea view, and we got decorations for our special stay. They have cool pool that you can enjoy the nature with the birds even peacocks :) They arranged us transfers to use the beach of another Anantara hotel in the island which was amazing. The breakfast was also very nice! I highly recommend it.
United Arab EmiratesRooms are very large, wonderful view from terrace. Breakfast buffet was very good, with quality ingredients. Very large white sanded beach, with complete tranquility. Many animals worth the very expensive wildlife tour.. Free-of-charge mountain bikes to take a tour around the lagoon was a great treat.
