Some villas have infinity pools of their very own. On honeymoon? Upgrade to a One Bedroom Over Water Villa, perfect for any special occasion, not only are they sumptuously furnished but the gentle lapping of the ocean around you is a sound you’ll adore.

Not only do children and teens have their very own clubs to hang out in, with activities galore, there’s a playground, babysitting on request and a private beach to play on. Whilst they’re busy, indulge yourself at the world-renowned Anantara Spa or laze by one of the swimming pools, topping up your tan.

Great stay, Geoffrey was really nice and courteous. The front desk staff was very friendly and accommodating. The amenities were amazing. The spa experience was very relaxing and unique. Definitely try the Turkish/morrocan hammam. Would come back here again and would recommend this to my family and friends!!

A really disappointing hotel We had the family lagoon access room, no big problems with the room apart from it was dated and needs a refresh.

A really disappointing hotel We had the family lagoon access room, no big problems with the room apart from it was dated and needs a refresh. The wardrobe is also small and we had to get a separate clothes hanging unit for the kids area which was unsightly. The lagoon isn't heated, at least if it is heated it isn't heated very much so the kids found it uncomfortable to use and due to the time of the year the sun never rose high enough to be able to sunbathe on the room balcony. It was frustrating that the hotel didn't have beIN sports so I was unable to watch the premier league football - we have stayed in the Jumeirah Beech a number of times in the past and this has beIN sports in all the rooms which I now find essential. Morning buffet food was ok, restaurants all ok apart from the Mekong restaurant which was very good and we visited a couple of times. The overall feel of the hotel is that it needs a full refurb - some of the paint on the outside of buildings is actually peeling off which isn't a good look. To save the holiday we went out each day visiting the desert, Le Pearl show, sky diving, the mall of Emirates and going on a helicopter over Dubai all of which we would recommend. Read less
