AAnonymous UserYou need to go to the pier to board the boat to the island. From the beginning of the road, there are beautiful scenery all the way. There is almost no pollution. The sea is particularly blue.
When you arrive on the island, take a bus to your respective hotel. There are three hotels of different styles on this island. This one is more wild and luxurious. The Little Africa is well-deserved. There are many animals in the room, peacocks, marmots, and spotted chickens. The photos are also very good. On the second day, I also participated in the African Safari and took many animal photos.
It is particularly worth mentioning that the hotel staff on the first day of check-in, the brother was very warm and considerate to us, and he also cared many times whether the things we needed were delivered to the room in time. The next day, I wanted to thank him and found that he was resting and not in the hotel, which was a pity.
The meal needs to be improved, because the hotel only has a BBQ buffet for dinner. We chose the buffet of another hotel in the same group on the island, and the food was also average. It is suitable for friends who don’t expect much from food.
The Safari on the second day saw many animals and it was very good. It’s just very sunny and hot, so you need to take sun protection measures.
This hotel is suitable for staying for 2-3 consecutive days. The journey is long but it’s worth it!

GGuest UserVery nice island and was greeted gleefully by a team of staff who were very nice at the jetty to get on the boat headed for the island. Ramesh from Srilanka was very nice guy who was really good at his job. Elly was the guide on the boat itself and great guy too. Reached the hotel on the island and was greeted by George who was very kind and explained everything very well. Overall great stay. Only drawback was the pricing of the activities which I felt were overpriced and also didn’t get prompt responses on the hotel app chat even though I was specifically told that was the fastest way to communicate. Food and staff at olio Italian restaurant was super.
And let and probably the best part of our trip was the safari and a guy called younis who was super informative and made it a memorable trip.
Also one thing been noticing recently with quite a few resort hotels is the staff look artificially happy not like they want to be there. Anyway overall great stay and one night is more than enough to be honest on this island as during this month of January sea water is super cold so can’t really swim in the sea and enjoy the beach. Pools were temperature controlled so that was great.
One point to be noted is while arriving the staff were extra friendly and helpful but while leaving not much communication and no water or wet towels provided either. It felt like they welcome u greatly but then send u off on ur way without real care. 😎🤷🏽♂️

NNourThey stay was very great, we really liked the place that was followed with an incredible services and friendly staff there, also the restaurant food was very delicious. but I have a little concern about the outside airstream furnitures that needs to be more cleaned as well as the bicycles need to be checked before the guest’s check in, as for everything else was super perfect.
I shared some of my favorite pictures about my stay there . . Many thanks to you and to this beautiful place ✨

OOlieTigerOverall, meet my expectation of a desert resort. The FO Team is quite welcoming and friendly. Offering activities fitted with my family’s experience. The only part is the drinking water in the room, should be more environment friendly, can be bottled drinking water rather than plastic.

GGuaaaVery satisfied. For a hotel on a deserted island like Sir Bani Yas Island, it is really not easy.
The hardware and software are excellent, five-star standard.
The activities are also very good, animal safaris are a must-see, really good (of course, it can't be compared with Africa).
However, objectively speaking, the beach is good, but the area is actually not large, that is, the range of about 30 small villas, and the rest of the place is still quite deserted.
In general, it is worth a visit. (It can really be seen that this island has worked hard)

GGuest UserThe location is 3, because it's hard to access unless it's a rental trip.
Because it's a family trip, there are two rooms, so I write two reviews.
I recommend visiting the Liwa Desert.
Breakfast is fine. Dinner is not recommended.
I'll post a picture of the Liwa Desert in this review.
The picture is the Liwa Desert, about an hour away from the Tiralliwa Hotel.

KKimIt is a quiet resort resort.
Many office workers and family vacationers come here.
Alcohol and food can be purchased nearby.
There is a swimming pool.
The beach is shallow, so it is good for children to play.

IIgorGreat hotel! Just a great place! The price-quality ratio is simply amazing for only $60 for a chic room. Clean, spacious, cozy! The design is super - minimalism in Arabic style! The lighting in the room is very romantic! The hotel has its own territory - everything is well-kept, flower beds, plants. View of the dunes - the hotel is right surrounded by dunes. The food is delicious - the local salad Liwa and majbus were great. The territory is very calm, quiet. If you want to take a break from the city noise, bustle and are looking for privacy - this is definitely the place. The pool is open, large. You can see the dunes from it. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Parking is free. I really liked everything, I want to come back.

OOhsituated in gayathi, i loved the place. it is a little isolated and the room has a little quirky organization -- you have to take stairs to go the the bathroom -- but it is a perfect place to go if you have business in this region. the hotel was clean, staff were very kind, and the price was affordable. one complaint would be the screen by the pool was blasting indian music even after midnight, but I called the reception and they turned it off immediately.

OOmarUnfortunately, the experience was not at all comfortable. The bed was extremely uncomfortable; you could clearly feel the springs in your back, making it very difficult to sleep. The pillows and mattress were also uncomfortable.
The reservation price was exaggerated compared to what was offered, and worse still, it did not include breakfast, despite the price suggesting otherwise.
Also, the repeated false alarms were very annoying, and no explanation was given as to why or who was responsible for the false reports.
Honestly, I don't know how the place got a 4.1/5 rating; the experience is completely unworthy of it.
