+Beach
The first time we were on a "palm" beach - closed on all sides, the feeling that you are on the lake, and not on the sea - the water is "stagnant". But on the other hand, the sea is warm, there are no waves and it is quite clean. Just what you need for kids!
+Pool
Well, the biggest advantage of the hotel, from my point of view, is the lagoon-style pool, where you can swim until late in the evening (usually pools are closed everywhere at 7-8 pm). This is an unreal buzz, especially if you live in rooms with access to the pool!
- Nutrition
The food was very mediocre, especially if you eat in a buffet restaurant.
Rooms. One of the few hotels offering direct access to the pool, available for swimming 24 hours. The only hotel with villas on the water, like in the Maldives.
Nutrition. Proud of Australian cuisine restaurant (kangaroo meat, crocodile meat, etc. )
Beach. There is no direct access to the water from the water villas. It is necessary to leave the room and go to the common hotel beach. View from the beach to the counter of the sleeping area of Palma.
Ideal for those who want to live in water villas or swim in the pool right from the room.
I liked the hotel very much, calm and measured rest.
The hotel was a pleasant surprise. We were greeted with cold towels and a delicious signature cocktail. The rooms have everything for a comfortable stay, including a coffee machine, bathrobe and slippers.
The room was always replenished with water. Very pleased with the varied table in the main restaurant. I have never tried so many seafood.
I've been to the gym several times and it's a pleasure to work out there. It is a pity that the SPA has not yet worked in full force. But we were very pleased with our stay!
We came to Anantara Hotel for our wedding anniversary! Take a risk and don't regret it!
Period from 15 to 22 September!
When we were offered a ticket to a hotel that was just opening, we first turned to the Internet, but there were few reviews and information about it: (To be honest, this didn’t scare us much, we went to Dubai for the second time, last year at the nearby Rixos Hotel, which was also new and had just opened.
It's interesting to be a pioneer, Anantara gave us an improved deluxe room for this + invited us to a party in a cocktail bar, where it's free! treated to alcoholic drinks : )
I will not write much!
The food is great, we had breakfast and dinner and it was enough for us.
Every dinner was seafood, shrimp, octopus, mussels, crabs ...ate so much that you don’t want to look at them anymore.
Meat of different types, a lot was put on the tables, a lot was fried in front of you, if you order.
For breakfast there were always yoghurts, various cereals, muesli, pancakes with chocolate, well, ordinary food, various types of rice, meat, eggs, freshly squeezed juices, fruits.
For breakfast, water and drinks such as coffee, cappuccino are free, and for dinner all drinks are paid and even water, so if you don’t want to pay 20-25 dirhams for half a liter of water, then it’s better to refuse, anyway, they put a new one in the room every day 5 bottles of water. The room also had its own personal coffee maker and kettle, so you could drink coffee and tea without leaving the room : )))
You can also drink different drinks on the beach, we bought fresh coconut and frappuccino (28 dirhams), although the coconut was first 20 dirhams, then 30, and then 40 dirhams ....: )))
The hotel mostly met Russian-speaking tourists and Germans, there were few Ukrainians, we (Zaporozhye) and another couple from Kharkov. Among the staff there are Russian speakers, we remember - Katya and Anna, pleasant, friendly, will answer all your questions.
Take more money with you : ) the hotel takes a loan of 500 dirhams for 1 day, not a little. In general, we wanted to refuse, they gave only 1000 dirhams, and upon departure we were returned 840 dirhams : ))) I understand the hotel wants tourists to spend money and use the services to the fullest, but we decided to spend this money on ourselves, stingy in the dubai mall ...
There is no free bus to the city from the hotel yet, they promise to start it up later, but there is a taxi : ))) Lexuses, approximate prices - to Dubai Mall = +/- 60 dirhams, if you order a city taxi, it will be 10-15 dirhams less, although if there is a traffic jam, then it will come out!
To the mall of the emirates from the Anantara hotel by city taxi, we got 45 dirhams.
The spa and 2 more restaurants are not working yet, they will launch it only on New Year's Eve, when the hotel will be officially opened, now it is considered a pre-OPENing type, the hotel is not working at full capacity!
TERRITORY! EXCELLENT!
A lot of space for photos, literally on every corner : )
Gorgeous pools, one main pool with a bar and a jacuzzi, the rest stretch along the houses, those who will live on the 1st floor have a private access to the pool, great! We were on the 2nd floor, we had to go down. There is a big bridge across these pools, there under the bridge, tourists leave inscriptions, you can swim up and leave your greetings : )))
At night, the entire territory is illuminated, a gorgeous view of Dubai at night opens up, you can see the sailboat hotel and the Jumeirah, a sea of subjects for photos : )))
Electric cars drive around the territory, they can take you to a restaurant if you get tired of walking : )))
Our room was a deluxe room on the second floor of house 24 (No. 2422), everything suited us!
I understand that a hotel that just opens physically cannot have a PERFECT service! Launching such a colossus with a bunch of staff is not so easy ...
There were minor problems in the room itself, but we turned a blind eye to them!
The air conditioner worked constantly, the heat outside was +40 degrees, inside + 20, there was even condensation dripping on the floor, it doesn’t matter : )))
I also noticed that the creaking and walking floor is a problem in many hotels, in such heat, any floor like a laminate will not last long, so do not pay attention to such trifles : )))
Previously, they wrote in the reviews that the linen smelled of something wrong, we had a smell of humidity on the first day, the linen was new, no one slept and did not live there, then when the linen was changed, it did not smell like anything ...
IN GENERAL, WE HAVE A VERY GOOD EXPERIENCE FROM THE HOLIDAY!
WE ARE SATISFIED THAT WE WERE GOING TO THIS HOTEL : ) WE PAID FOR THE TOUR RELATEDLY NOT EXPENSIVE, THE HOTEL IS 5 STARS AND IS ALSO ON THE PALMA!
At the time of arrival at the hotel, the SPA was not yet open.
You can replace dinners with lunches!
Internet for free throughout the territory!
Coffee machines in every room
Extra bed free of charge for a child under 12 years old (but the hotel is not for families with children)
Russian-speaking staff is!
There is a shuttle to the mall!
Tourists with claims this hotel will suit!! !
