Over the past 3 years, I have frequented the Danat Hotel Resort on a regular basis. The staff is always friendly and accommodating, the breakfast is exceptional, and the grounds and Hotel are always immaculately maintained. I would definitely recommend it to anyone traveling to Ruwais, as it is comparable to any 5 star hotel in Abu Dhabi or Dubai.

My wife and I needed to get away. We had worked very hard over three months without a break. We didn’t need somewhere with glitz and glamour or to be “on the scene”. We just needed some time alone and rest and relaxation. When that is the objective then being in the middle of nowhere is a good thing. No... More

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...
