Anantara Retreat Santorini Abu Dhabi - Adults Only

The breakfast was nice but the restaurant food was not great. The concept of the hotel being a sheikh's palace turned into a hotel is cool on paper. The feeling of being away from civilization is definitely there.

This building was not designed to be a hotel. It is a former sheikh's palace. The pipes are old, the tiles are old. Everything is old but clean. And the price is far too high for what is on offer. Nothing over there was worth the stay in a crazy way. Spending this amount of money is better in the hands of a hotel that is built to be a hotel.

Location & rooms style

There is no buffet in evening & no singers or band as entertainment !

Everything about my stay was exceptional, from the staff and their warm hospitality, to the privacy, the room, the spa, the facilities, the restaurant, and even the cozy movie night. Every detail was on point.I was celebrating my birthday, and the team went above and beyond to make it truly unforgettable. Special thanks to Kevin, who personally oversaw my stay and handled all the bookings with such care. I’m deeply grateful to him and the entire staff for making my memories so special.

Nothing I didn’t like, it was so clean and comfy, Once suggestion to have more restaurants and maybe a ladies salon

We had amazing butler Jas, friendly, helpful and professional.

great resort, nice rooms

very slippy marble floor around the poolFood is OK, not wow or great

Honestly ..If I could give this place 6 stars out of 5, I would without thinking twice!!My wife and I had the absolute pleasure of staying at Anantara Santorini, and it truly felt like a slice of paradise. From the moment we arrived, we were treated with such kindness, care, and attention it’s clear that everyone who works here puts their heart into what they do.We were lucky to meet many amazing staff members during our stay some names I remember, like Mahesh and Rose and Meric, and of course Fernando, our private butler, who was incredible throughout our stay but honestly, every single person we interacted with was just wonderful. Whether it was the restaurant, front desk, housekeeping, spa, beach team you all made our stay feel genuinely special. You’re the reason this place feels so warm and welcoming.The spa session… aaaah wow. It was hands down the best I’ve ever had. Not even exaggerating it was on another level.We also did glass kayaking, which was an amazing way to enjoy the stunning clear water and the marine life.The food???! That’s another story .. wow.!! Can never forget that steak we had by the beach and it was absolutely delicious !! huge thank you to the chef for that perfect meal !!!We also got to do a perfume workshop with Amal, and it was such a lovely experience! I’ve always loved perfumes, so getting to learn more about the process and actually create my own custom scent was amazing. Amal was so knowledgeable and made it fun and personal. Now I’ve got a special perfume that I made myself..Yay!The room setup, the ambience, the attention to every little detail everything made us feel like we had truly escaped to Santorini. And thank you so much to Mr. Rachid for the warm warm hospitality and making our stay feel soo effortless and personalized.This stay went above and beyond what we hoped for. We left feeling relaxed, happy, and full of beautiful memories. And one thing’s for sure…we’re coming back again.

A perfect couple get away in a unique style of 22 lovely rooms with a private beach. A number of amenities available and amazing. We took advantage of the Spa using the sauna and cold plunge which our aligned Butler coordinated for us! In addition, the evening we had an excellent Greek dinner, excellent food eating outside to the sounds of the beach. To top it off we closed out the night with a private movie theatre with desert. The movie theatre had couple size couches / beds that were super comfy! The beach was amazing with service at your finger tips from complimentary water and during mid day a coconut was provided which was amazing! Last but not least was the staff. Service was top notch always reaching out for any assistance. The butler contacted me the night before to plan the stay. Special shout out to the cast and crew ?Amr - The Butler!Rose - At BreakfastBrian - Welcome & Checkout Samir - ManagerDidn’t mention the room, you’ll have to go to experience. You won’t be let down. I’ll stop here.

I had an amazing stay at Anantara Santorini Abu Dhabi. The hotel is absolutely beautiful, with stunning surroundings and a serene atmosphere that made the experience truly special. The gym was very well-equipped, and the private cinema was a fantastic touch — a perfect way to relax.The staff were incredibly welcoming, attentive, and always available to assist with anything we needed, which really enhanced our stay.

The only area for improvement would be the waiting time when ordering food or services, as on a few occasions it took a bit longer than expected.

Great and friendly staff, quiet and luxurious place.

Beautiful resort but no entertainment a padel court, tennis court, horse riding, yatch etc would be great

The uniqueness,service of the staff (Rose,Delilah,Bo Bo,Ahmed, Marwen,Haris) was amazing

Transportation is expensive,but apart from this all was good

From the moment we arrived, before the car door was opened for me I was impressed and it continued to get better and better!One of the best things, is they don't allow random passers by to enter, to ensure the privacy of guests. The reviews for Anantara would be 5/5 if it wasn't for random people expecting to stop by for a coffee with their kids, only to be turned away at the gate and then they resort to leaving negative feedback as a result! Amazing stay, super impressed! One of the best hotels I've ever stayed in!Thank you Yas, Nadia and all the amazing staff.

Everything was perfect!

The photos dont do place justice, it’s beautiful with very good hospitality. The staff is just amazing thanks to Nadia,Jas, Delilah, Ceaser, Rose and everyone at the reception made our stay very pleasing

I loved the breakfast - everything was freshly baked. The view was insane. for us it was a great as a short trip. we will come back

Beach and architecture is really beautiful. A really nice experience. Very attentive staff.

Friendly staff and service, special thanks to Fernando for his full support in delivering all our requests promptly and professionally.

The staff here were incredibly attentive and warm which made our stay feel comfortable. The pool area is stunning and the architecture throughout the property is truly beautiful. Our room was lovely, especially the bed, which was very comfortable and felt luxurious :) want to give special recognition to the breakfast staff, they were extremely friendly, attentive, and made morning super relaxed and enjoyable.

There were aspects that I felt didn’t match the price. For example, the dinner experience left me feeling unimpressed. The food selection didn’t really reflect the high end prices and the quality felt average. The restaurant service seemed robotic with interactions that felt scripted and cold rather than genuine and warm which took away from the vibe we were hoping to feel. Similarly, the poolside menu seemed overpriced for what was offered.While we appreciated the lovely complimentary tea during sunset by the pool, I expected the pool experience to feel a bit more exclusive and personable, considering the hotel’s reputation for attention to detail. Small, thoughtful touches.. like periodically offering cold towels or refreshing treats such as mini ice creams would have transformed our experience from simply enjoying a nice swim to feeling genuinely pampered. These extra gestures would elevate the poolside experience to match the luxurious ambiance of the property.

The location was fantastic and the food was very good. Lot of choices. The staff were incredible. Kevin Mathew took care of everything from room upgrade to arranging transportation. Prashanth, Pablo, Haris, Rose, Delilah and Lakshay took care of us at the bar, restaurant, breakfast etc. The sunsets were awesome and the property was designed as if it was in Greece. Truly amazing. Hope I did not miss anybody.

Everything is so special , beach , staff, food , decorations and design its exceptional

The place overall, very quiet, relaxing. Rooms are nice, food is nice !Pool beautiful, beach very nice. The personal.

Prices of coktails or alcohol way too high.The music they play next to the pool after 2h its annoying. It could be nice if in the night there is a bar with nice music
