What Our Guests Say

Rated Travellers' Choice on TripAdvisor

In transformation

The location is very nice and has great potential. Too bad that when we were there the resort was in "safe mode" and looking for an identity because of a profound transformation taking place.

A Dream Anniversary in Paradise!

We spent our 30th wedding anniversary on Jumeirah Olhahali Island – six unforgettable days in absolute paradise. The island is stunningly beautiful: crystal-clear turquoise waters, powdery white sand beaches, and lush tropical scenery. Our luxurious overwater villa exceeded all expectations – tastefully designed, immaculately clean, and with direct access to the ocean. Simply perfect. The butler service was outstanding – always attentive, professional, and discreet. Dining was another highlight: every meal was delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented, with great variety throughout our stay. A true highlight was our visit to the Talise Spa – a one-of-a-kind experience! The serene atmosphere, skilled therapists, and exceptional treatments made it a moment we'll never forget. This trip was deeply special to us – luxurious, relaxing, and emotionally unforgettable. Jumeirah Olhahali Island is the perfect place to celebrate a special occasion or simply to treat yourself to something extraordinary. Highly recommended – we'll definitely return!

Wonderful

It was a wonderful experience for my family and I, where we had our 2 months old and still enjoyed our stay to the max. The staff were amazing and met our needs to the fullest. Only downside is, the room isn't fully private otherwise it was excellent.

우리 가족이 경험한 최고의 리조트 (Best Resort Our Family Has Ever Experienced)

Our 7-night stay at Jumeirah Olhahali Island was nothing short of spectacular. While the resort features a select number of dining venues, the incredible special dinners ensured every meal felt fresh and exciting. Compared to other luxury resorts we've visited before, the service quality here is on an entirely different level; every single staff member was incredibly warm and welcoming. The highlight of our trip, however, was undoubtedly our butler, Laith. He is a true gentleman who consistently anticipated our needs with incredible intuition, taking care of everything before we even had to ask. He was also wonderfully attentive to our children, treating them with a gentle care that was sweet but never overbearing. Laith's exceptional hospitality made our vacation seamless and unforgettable—he is truly the best butler we have ever encountered.

Amazing!

I recently stayed at this hotel, and it was excellent — the villa was so big, bright and clean. Overall atmosphere made it easy to relax and enjoy the stay. The staff were always polite, attentive, and ready to help with anything! Thank you so much! I would gladly return and highly recommend this hotel to others!
