Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar Resort

An amazing luxurious stay in the cool mountains - from the moment we stepped out of our vehicle, we were treated like honoured guests & all staff we encountered on this property were excellent. An obvious sense of pride working for this establishment permeated through & it showed in how staff interacted with guests & amongst themselves. We were upgraded to a fabulous pool villa & everything one could possibly ask for or want in a luxurious room was present. What was impressive was that any small or minor issues were immediately attended to & followed up on. This is the mark of a truly well oiled & run establishment. Wifi reception was excellent. The views were magnificent (sunset drinks at Diana’s Pt is truly a “wow” experience) & both our private pool & the main infinity pools were kept at the optimum temperature. Food at the Italian & International restaurant were top notch - authentic, fresh & delicious. Surprisingly they were at affordable price points & were served in generous portions. It sounds like I am gushing compliments but truly nothing negative to comment on. We managed to catch the tail end of the rose picking season & the resort is a short 10 to 15 min stroll away. I would definitely return & staying at Anantara was worth every cent!

One of the best and most luxurious places I’ve stayed at. From the moment you arrive at reception until the very end with housekeeping and the kitchen, everything was absolutely amazing. The highlight for me was the Eggs Benedict made by Chef Said — it was truly delicious! What makes this resort special is that it gives you the chance to live among the different types of trees in Al Jabal Al Akhdar. It’s not just a resort, it’s an experience of peace and nature all in one place. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.

A really beautiful spot in the mountains. The service was amazing - we were welcomed with a smile and attention to detail from the second we arrived to the moment we left! Bev works so hard by the pool making sure you have everything you need. She was such a joy to have conversation with. Anton at Bella Vista went out of his way to look after us, particularly during our dinner at ‘the royal edge’ which was STUNNING! Expensive but worth every penny. The team were flexible and let us completely change the menu, timings and set up to suit us. We even got serenaded by the wonderful singers twice. A truly special experience not to be missed! Chef Rajesh was also incredible - he poaches the perfect eggs and again cooked us many delicious meals during our stay. The only room for improvement would be the gym. A barbell / smith machine would be a welcomed extra! Its quite basic as is.

This hotel is an absolute must-try! The rooms are incredibly spacious, super clean, and offer the most breathtaking views of the mountains. I also visited the spa, and it is simply gorgeous. The only small area for improvement would be the breakfast buffet menu. It wasn't the best I've had, and the salad bar specifically could use a bit more work and variety. Also the coffee wasn’t too good. Aside from that, it was a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend staying here!

My second stay at Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar Resort, and I think the fact that I returned already says a lot. I truly enjoyed my first visit. On my previous stay, I experienced both the Deluxe Canyon View Room and the Garden Pool Room, which were fantastic in their own right. This time, however, I had the privilege of staying in the Cliffside Private Pool Villa, and it completely elevated the experience. Having your own private pool overlooking the canyon is something really special, especially in the Middle East, where you’ll find many luxury hotels, but very few that offer something this unique and memorable. The service was excellent overall, all the on site staff I came across were very friendly from the ones I saw in the restaurant to the ones in the garden. I’d especially like to thank Inja, I called a day before arrival to request early check-in, and he went above and beyond. Not only did he notice something about my booking and proactively suggest a way to improve my stay, but he also followed up in person during my first breakfast to check on me and ensure everything was sorted. That level of care and attention genuinely made a difference and enhanced my entire experience. Especially as I experienced some issues while planning my visit, a senior member of staff reached out to me directly after the issues and initially was very helpful, which I truly appreciated. However, after that initial support, he completely stopped responding and ignored my follow-up questions, which was disappointing especially after he offered stated that I should contact him anytime regarding any booking. I do feel it’s worth mentioning that I’ve experienced booking-related issues with Anantara in the past, including at this property and another Anantara hotel in Abu Dhabi. I’ve never encountered any of these type of problems with other hotel brands, so it is an area for improvement for Anantara. That said, none of this takes away from what is truly an incredible destination. The hotel is a real gem. It is unique, peaceful, and unforgettable. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for something different and special.
