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

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.

The island and wildlife are beautiful, beaches are peaceful and quiet and the most clear blue water. Pool area is great. Hotel is a bit dated for 5 star but rooms are clean, have fabulous views. The a/c in the room was very loud, at her than that no complaints. Breakfast is ok, not great.

This was our second visit, and everything is just as good as we had remembered it. The best part about this resort is the service. In our opinion, it rates among the best we have ever seen anywhere in the world in terms of service.

The hotel and staff are absolutely wonderful here and so attentive to our every need. However, I think it is important for guests to know that the beach view is not pristine. There are huge sandbags that stretch along the shore a few meters out into the water that are not attractive at all. If you want to mostly stay beside the beautiful pool it works well. But if you are looking for a picturesque beach scene, you won't find it here.
