I ve been here several times , what a lovely place
BUT, I brought some friends to see the area all the way from Abu Dhabi city and they won t let us in , even to have a look unless we have a reservation! That was surprising how rude they were, didn t expect that from Anantara group at all .
Almost 3 hours drive for nothing
This made me really upset and if I would go to a retreat I wouldn t visit this place again, NEVER!
The UAE is filled with other amazing places.
What a SHAME Anantara!
