    We love the property, the kids club, the sunset villas, overall excellent property for all ages ( in our case kids are 5&7 and always looking to go back. The staff’s hospitality is excellent as well, from the boat captain to every single staff on the island, always great and a pleasure to come back.

    The prices are a bit high, and many food options needed that we pay more money than the already paid half board during dinner meals

    I loved that they had so many gluten-free options The place was very clean and the food was delicious The staff was very friendly The pool was private, and this was why i chose this resort

    1.The shower area inside the bathroom is poorly designed—after every use, water spreads across the entire bathroom floor. 2.There’s no nearby grocery store, which is inconvenient considering we’re 10–15 minutes away from the city, and the boats charge 150 AED for transport. 3.Boat schedules should be more flexible to better accommodate residents’ needs. 4.All boats should be equipped with air conditioning—Dubai’s weather makes it extremely uncomfortable without it.

    that the villa is spacious and clean, the staff.

    A little too quiet at the main pool area meant no real atmosphere. Music inside the restaurants but nothing outside. If you are looking for that then a pool villa is your best option

    Very friendly staff, very well maintained resort, very informal in all aspects

    Absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The staff were welcoming, the room was clean and cozy, and the view was breathtaking—waking up to that scenery was a highlight of the trip. Whether it was sunrise over the city or sunset by the water, the views alone made the stay unforgettable. Highly recommend and would gladly return!

    The boat service from mainland to Island was not the most attractive and could be upgraded to better Boats/Yachts which reflect the quality of the property

    This has by far been the best property we’ve stayed at in the UAE. We loved the way the property has been designed to give a feel if being outside of the Emirates but yet with the luxury that UAE provides (and only UAE can provide) Half board was truly a great deal. I have to give a special shout out to the Chef at the Open Grill in Helios who made some amazing Steaks for me.. A bro knows how another bro likes his steaks :-)

    They did not have a fridge, and the minibar didn’t even make anything cool enough, especially with a baby. Also the buggy service is pretty slow but it was okayy

    Loved the restaurant, ‘Qamar’ such good food and great breakfast too. Loved how the manager at qamar treated us also. The view was amazing.
