"My stay at The Lana Hotel in Dubai was amazing in every way! Everything was 10 out of 10. The staff was exceptional, always friendly and helpful. Their smiles were always present, and they were always ready to assist us with anything we needed. When I informed them before arriving that I was celebrating my 15th wedding anniversary, they upgraded our room as a lovely surprise! They also provided us with a cake and balloons in our room. The pool area was fantastic, offering a panoramic view of the Burj Khalifa and all of Dubai. As for the food, the staff by the pool was great and the food was delicious. The only downside was the limited dinner options in the half-board package we had booked. However, when we informed them that we wouldn't be dining there, they offered us an alternative and arranged for us to dine at a nearby Michelin-starred restaurant called 'JAR.' I highly recommend staying here!"

The staff, absolutely all very service minded and always pleasant. They make you feel welcome and that you are a guest with a capital letter. I would especially like to mention Honey who works at reception, she was there with my check-in. Got a nice room with a view and she made my day. The breakfast was decent and the staff, everyone who serves breakfast are wonderful, they always meet you with a smile and the crockery is amazing.

OMGGG!! I loved everything about this hotel. Amazing hospitality and people! Maria, the first person I met upon arrival with her beautiful honest smile at reception and Jennifer at front desk were the people that made me feel comfortable and happy from the very first moment. The executive suite was amazing, the view, the atmosphere, the staff making sure every day my day started and ended with the best possible way! Also the gym… the pool!! Everything perfect! Definitely my hotel from now on when visiting Dubai- can’t wait to go back with my family this time to enjoy it even more…

It was amazingly quiet, but the biggest reason for loving it was the weather and the fabulous hotels! Rented a car from Enterprise; easy and enjoyed an upgrade! Visited the Atlantis the Royal and the Masr al Arab hotel and that was super luxurious and fun to see.

Great camp with the BEST staff.

Great camp with the BEST staff. They tend to your needs around the clock. My only drawback is the restroom situation. The toilet and shower is in one very small stall. Had to hang change of clothes in different stall to keep the shower from wetting them. Another drawback is COLD showers. No hot water at all even after letting it run for some time. My husband caught a slight cold because the desert gets cool in the evening, and the walk back to the tent from the cold shower did him in. Also on my booking confirmation , it said there would be a bidet in the tent. There was not one, but I think that is best. Not mad about that at all. On a good note, we really enjoyed the dishes we were served with such great variety. The entertainment was nice. We booked for two nights, but one night is more than enough. I would definitely recommend this camp to anyone wanting a different Dubai experience.
