WOW, how refreshing to be greeted by Geoffrey and Michelle after a 3 hour drive. They really took ownership of the welcome experience with great positive and genuine smiles. This positive experience was consistent throughout our weekend stay. Fabulous pool with exactly the right temperature, felt sorry for the life guards having to "baby sit" irresponsible parents children, they were... More

We were excited to visit the Danat Jebel Dhanna Hotel and drove the 3 1/2 hours from Dubai to get there. Great check-in and Ana was really friendly and connected with my 8 year old son making us feel very welcome. Hotel is very clean and well maintained although a little soulless. It is also very remote there is nothing... More

It took more than 3 hours from Dubai to get to this hotel - nothing but desert on the way but it was still a fantastic stay. The hotel had a familial appeal and staff were friendly and courteous. My room was spacious with a large double bed and a balcony overlooking the sea providing great views! Tea/coffee-making facilities were... More

We stopped here on our drive between Dubai and Qatar. It was a nice way to break up the drive AND get to stay at a great resort. Everything met if not exceeded expectations between the service, staff, facilities, food, etc. We had two young children and they especially enjoyed all the facilities. Only regret - could only stay for... More

well I was happily surprised- the hotel is in the middle of nowhere and there's nothing nearby- no restaurants or gas station or much of anything- but it is a small luxury amidst the sands- lobby and hotel are nicely appointed- room was large and well stocked and maintained- a nice fruit bowl upon arrival- coffee facilities, lux towels etc....

We had a short break recently at this resort. It's about 3 hours and 40 minutes from Dubai. A couple of things to remember before you start off! It's good to have a GPS to guide your way to the resort. You will be sure of reaching the resort without losing your way badly. Secondly, you simply must have UAE... More

Hotel is not as glitzy as some but it's lovely inside and at an absolutely stunning location. We were upgraded for free (although we then ended up without a blacony which was a bit of a shame) and very well looked after which was nice, nothing was too much trouble for the staff but they also steered clear when it...

Everything for a relaxing short break - even the drive from Dubai at 3 hours is very manageable. This hotel is a gem if you want a beach and pool break - the weather is now very pleasant including light breezes in the morning. Early morning walks on the hotels private beach were invigorating and good to see the hotel... More

I had the pleasure of staying at the Danat during a business related conference. The drive from Abu Dhabi takes around 3 hours and along a straight desert road, where you suddenly come across this hotel what appears to be in the middle of nowhere. Inside the welcome was warm and the hotel looked comfortable and clean. The room was... More
