"The hotel is quite old, and check-in was a bit slow. It has two pools, each offering a distinct experience. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. While the activities were generally mediocre and the hotel felt a bit overpriced, other arrangements were quite good. A convenient shuttle service was available to transport guests around the property from their rooms, making it an ideal choice for families and couples on vacation. Keep in mind that it's a two-hour drive from downtown Abu Dhabi."

"You 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!"

"The 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."

"The characteristic of the whole island is that there are many animals but few animals. . There are only about 20 rooms near the sea, so you need to book in advance. There are many activities on the island, which can be booked on the first day of your stay. Horseback riding is 350 dirhams per person, kayaking is 245 dirhams per person, and taking a car to see animals seems to be around 300 (I can’t remember the specific price). . But the zoo only has various sheep, ostriches, giraffes, and peacocks, which are still very different from South Africa. . The restaurants on the island are not suitable for Chinese stomachs. It is recommended that you bring enough snacks or side dishes to the island. Al Sabania Island is close to Hilton Abu Dhabi Yas Island Hotel It’s about 260 kilometers, so it’s best to book a car in advance, especially when going back to the city from the island. There is no way to get a taxi from the pier. . The peacocks and sheep on the island eat everything. . Put some peanuts and melon seeds in the open air, and they will all come. . ."

"Staff were friendly and welcoming. We were upgraded to a Seaview room which we really appreciated. However, I can't say it's exactly 5 stars yet, as someone who has been to five star hotels across 4 countries, there are certain stuff missing such a complimentary robes and slippers, toothbrushes etc, but of course the hotel is still fairly new and will probably improve over time. Cons during our stay: -There was construction there and the exits to the beach were closed. - There wasn't any buffet dinner the 1st few nights, they kept pushing out the time for dinner as they were hosting a soccer team and the buffet was planned accordingly to their timing, usually past 9.30pm which was too late. - The lunch and dinner menu is still fairly small. - The soccer team (young guys) were quite noisy at early parts of the morning in the outside breakfast area which was just outside our window. - The buffet dinner on Christmas day was absolutely small. - No bathtub in room and could not see which room had a tub listed online as it just mentioned '' shower or tub''. - Gym is extremely small. Pros: -Beautiful sea view. - Located in a Quiet and peaceful environment. - Lulu supermarket located just outside the hotel which makes it convenient. - Rooms had mini kitchen with cutlery and pots etc, washing machine and microwave, fridge etc, which was nice. - House keeping was available on request at any time. - House keeping staff were very friendly. - Security guard was very helpful and friendly. - We could have a small barbecue on the beach at late hours of the night. - Plenty parking. - Sea view room had a balcony. - Hotel provided a mini needle and cotton set which I found unusual and cute, definitely not something I've seen at other hotels. Overall the place has an amazing view, and I'm sure will improve as they develop and get more tourists. We enjoyed our stay and recommend it to others."

"Very 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. 😎🤷🏽♂️"
