I had a very disappointing experience with the reservations department. While I was on a call with a staff member named (Adibayo – from Nigeria), I attempted to make an additional booking for my brother during the same call, however he refused to assist without any clear reason. Moreover, his communication style was highly unprofessional, and his explanations were unclear, making the interaction frustrating and difficult. It escalated further when he told me directly: "If you want to complain, I don’t care, and it makes no difference to me," which is completely unacceptable and reflects a lack of professionalism. This is not the level of service expected from a five-star hotel. The overall experience was very poor and below expectations. I hope the hotel management reviews this incident and contacts me to resolve the matter appropriately, as this experience was unacceptable Read less

We had a truly wonderful stay at Anantara The Palm, and I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to Aiana from Reception for her outstanding service. From the moment I arrived, Aiana made me feel genuinely welcomed with her warm smile and professional approach. She handled the check-in seamlessly and ensured that everything was perfectly arranged throughout my stay. Her attention to detail, friendliness, and willingness to go the extra mile really stood out. It’s team members like Aiana who create memorable experiences and make guests feel valued. Thank you for making my stay even more special—I will definitely be returning! Shout out to Mohammed from the Beach all day dining. Highly recommended! Read less

We spent one night in the lagoon villa - it's an experience you can't describe, you have to go yourself :). Make sure to book the villa that has direct water access if you enjoy swimming. Especially at night when the lights in the lagoon are on, you will create a memory that you won't forget.
