Sir Bani Yas is now our favorite place to visit. The island is incredible and peaceful. We had an incredible time. The staff tried their best to handle everything but they seemed to be missing employees when we were there. Still it was the most incredible trip and our favorite place on the UAE. The wildlife tour is expensive but not to be missed

Great hotel with very good amenities. As a Titanium level on Minor Hotels we were upgraded twice and we received our new rooms pretty fast. Breakfast was delicious with plenty of options to choose from. Very good and comfortable beds with 2 different pillows as a standard. Room was clean and very spacious, balcony the same. They have various activities to choose from and we booked the Safari. It was amazing. A lot of species of animals are roaming freely in the area and you can take tones of pictures.

From arrival at the jetty terminal where Emmanuel took me through the ropes, to Ethan, Ramesh and Michelle at reception, my Sir Bani Yas Island stay was fabulous. The accommodation was spacious, comfy and welcoming. The food in all areas plentiful and fresh. The tours were well organised..but i was organised and booked ahead. The spa and water sports were fantastic

The property made you feel like you were anywhere except the desert. The staff was the most courteous and professional group of employees that I have experienced in my vast amount of travel. Thank you for the BEST staycation ever!

Еще на берегу начинается отдых, тебя встречает ресепшн, с удобными диванами, кофе/печеньками - где можешь скоротать время в ожидании своего бота. Сервис в отеле выше всяких похвал - индивидуальный сопровождающий, который рассказывает, что есть в отеле, где проходит завтрак, где пляж, и далее к нему можно обращаться в течении всего отдыха. Хочу Марии сказать огромное спасибо - она во всем нем помогла! Номер - нам отель сделал комплимент, улучшил наш номер на номер с видом на море и бассейн. По приезду встречает в номере ваза с фруктами и конфетками. Есть капсульная кофе-машина, с хорошим кофе, всегда можно попросить попольнить (но и без просьб пополняли). Есть вечерняя подготовка ко сну - на тумбочку ставят водичку со стаканом, тапочки около кровати. Завтраки - отличные, есть все, и все о-очень вкусное. Омлет или яичницу заказываешь и тебе ее приносят по готовности. Тоже самое с напитками. Бассейн красиво оформлен, служащий у бассейна полотенца разложит, зонтик поправит, чтобы лежак всегда был в тени, только выходишь из бассейна или моря, сразу несет тебе холодную бутылочку воды. Приблизительно раз в час подойдет с прохладными, вкуснопахнущими полотенчиками освежиться. В общем, сервис на высоте. Пляж - пустынный, с великолепной бирюзовой водичкой. Тоже с таким же сервисом. Одно но, до пляжа идти минуты 3, но по горячему по песку, с какими-то камнями (без тапочек не вариант, и в сланцах не удобно) и по какой-то не живописной дорожке... Но мы ходили! Обожаю море!

We had a wonderful 2 day break at this hotel. The staff were very attentive and friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them. There were plenty of sun beds on the beach or around the pool with a nice restaurant to have lunch snacks and drinks. We also went on the safari experience which was very interesting and had a very informative guide driving the open Land Rover also a real highlight to see the Giraffe and Cheetah roaming free.

Fantastisk plats, bästa servicen vi upplevt ! Maten var kanon och de guidade turerna var jättebra ! Vi stannade 2 nätter och hade gärna tagit ytterliggare 2 nätter. Bra att kontakta hotellet minst en vecka innan så man kan boka aktiviteter och få information om hur man tar sig till båthamnen på fastlandet och hur man tar sig fram till hotellet på ön Båtturen ut till ön och transport från öns hamn till andra sidan där hotellet låg ingår i priserna på rummen.
