Anantara, Al Futaisi hotels

"So superb I had to return. Please check out my previous review from December 2024. It was so good I went back for more in November 2025, and will definitely return again! When you find excellence it can be a risk to try and repeat it, not so with the Shangri La Abu Dhabi. The workforce are so amazing it is hard to find words to compliment and congratulate high enough. They were ready and waiting for me, they remembered what special and personal touches made the difference for me. My biggest smile had to be when they surprised me with having a particular preference that they do not normally offer. They had remembered and had pre planned for my stay, that is excellence at its very best. Their Horizon Club Premier rooms are beyond superb, made so perfect by the most thoughtful and expert housekeeping team you could hope for. Abu Dhabi has been by go to chill out hero for more than 20 years and the Shangri La is the outstanding winner amongst all the other hotels I have stayed with. I applaud and send my thanks to every single member of the SL AD team, concierge, front desk, housekeeping, recreation , food and beverage, all 400+ of you. You are all special and important. Best beach lounger bed makers ever, and Sofra Bid thanks for my incredible breakfast including my skinny milk. I need to apologise for not having all the names to mention that I would have loved to. Please forgive me as I know how important that is to you. Management, please return to my previous review and incl"

"Fabulous hotel. Only let down by the size of the bedrooms (a little small) on the serviced 2 bed apartment "

"Reception was excellent "

"The hotel itself is unbelievable with everything you could possibly need at 1 location. The staff was superb"

"Nice hotel clean tidy good restaurant and bar options - loved the jazz bar! Easy access to beach area and the amenities of the beach club. "

"Room clean and amenities all good"

"The staff were amazing. Always welcoming, cheerful, and helpful. The room was nice but I do wish the balcony with the "sea" view was a little larger. We enjoyed our time there and will definitely keep the hotel in mind for future travel."

"Very nice property. Better than the pictures online."

"Although the property has gigantic proportions that make it at times unnavigable and makes it feel impersonal this is definitely an Arabian Nights palace with impeccable service and pool areas among the most beautiful in the world - with a private beach! It’s a bit far from everything else but with a unique beach front view to the newest and even more spectacular Sultan palace. I have also checked the Four Seasons which pales in comparison with this"
