Danat Al Ain Resort

Hotel needs some renovations, the swimming pool is good but the pillow was high and not comfortable at all. The shower gel in the bathroom is not workable.

Staff is very friendly. Minimal restaurant options. Relaxing location.

Returning to the Danat Al Ain Resort, formerly known as the Intercontinental Hotel Al Ain, felt like a nostalgic journey for me. Having grown up spending considerable time in this hotel, it was heartwarming to see the familiar building, now beautifully upgraded while still retaining its charm. The staff at the resort were exceptionally friendly, making my stay feel more like a homecoming. Their welcoming and attentive service truly enhanced my experience, reminding me of the many reasons I cherish this place. A standout during my stay was the Arabesque restaurant. The culinary offerings were superb, combining traditional flavors with a modern twist – a perfect representation of the resort’s blend of heritage and contemporary elegance. I highly recommend Danat Al Ain Resort for anyone visiting Al Ain. Whether you're returning like me or discovering its delights for the first time, the resort offers a unique and memorable experience, steeped in warmth and luxury.

The resort pool and park area are really nice and beautiful. The pool water is at a great temperature, not too cold or hot, just warm and right.

Not informed us about the rules before booking

They did not let us inside the swimming pool because we had no PCR test, and they didn’t write that requirement in the booking policy on their site, so I haven't enjoyed my stay there because I booked that resort to swim and chill but unfortunately we couldn’t.

The kids' pool was okay.

The only person good in the facility is Mr. Mahmood... the rest, including all Housekeeping and receptionists, were below average. They gave us a room where the table was dirty, the sofas were dirty, and when they shifted us, the AC in the hall was not working. Dissatisfied with the 5-star hotel.

Although the facilities are a little dated, this is made up for by the large size of the standard room and the very helpful and friendly staff. Also, there is a wide and varied range of F&B restaurants and bars.

Do yourself a favor, stay somewhere else.

The hotel is old and the rooms are outdated. The furniture is worn. The walls are very thin. We have stayed here twice and had three different rooms, each was very loud. We re-booked the hotel because it had a great rate, but we regretted it. The staff was professional, but they don't have much to work with.

Thank you, Danat, for making our anniversary memorable with an awesome cake and the complimentary upgrade to the villa. We strongly recommend this place :-)
