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.
There is a maintenance work going on inside hotel and they start from early morning, and you cannot sleep and relax all day you cannot properly sit inside room. for kids club they closed, sauna room also out of service and jacuzzi also out of service in between. so overall its not well managed we left the hotel day before our checkout due to all this and even after our checkout receive call 2 time are you ready to check out

Not informed us about the rules before booking
They did not let us inside they swimming pool because we had no pcr test , and they didn’t wrote that requirement in booking policy there in site, so I haven’t enjoyed my stay there because I booked that resort to swim and chill but unfortunately we haven’t
J'ai beaucoup apprécié cet hôtel, chambres confortables et bonnes installations.
Dommage que beaucoup de clients sont très mal éduqués et laissent leurs rester de repas par terre au bord de la piscine par exemple...
Mais l'hôtel en lui-même est génial et le personnel est très agréable et serviable
J'ai séjourné dans cet hotel dans le cadre d'un événement professionnel et j'ai énormément apprécié !
Bonnes installations, chambres confortables, personnel très agréable.
Les buffets sont un peu répétitifs après quelques jours
Schönes Hotel, sauber, grosses Zimmer mit riesigem Bad, Aussenpool, schöne Anlage, Auto nötig da Alleinlage, grosse Auswahl am Frühstücksbüffet, lecker zubereitetes Essen, Personal freundlich und hilfsbereit, habe mich ausgesprochen wohl gefühlt
Prima verblijf. Hotel is gedateerd en daardoor vrij gehorig. Als je een drukke buur hebt is dat minder.

Avslappning o firande
Vi hade ett trevligt dygn på Danat. Rummet var ganska stort och med en balkong. Dock ganska osköna stolar så man kunde inte sitta så länge o njuta. Rummet skulle behövas förnyas/renoveras lite. Speciellt toaletten. Maten var väldigt god! Poolområdet lugnt o bra bara det att det fanns en hel del små minimyror som bet en så det gjorde ont. Skulle vara bra att lägga ut nåt medel o bli kvitt myrorna.
Det pågick ett bröllop så väldigt hög musik spelades till kring 04 vilket gjorde det svårt att somna.
Vi blev överraskade med en god tårta då min sambo skulle fylla år. Mycket trevligt! Thank you Danat for our stay and the tasty cake!
The only person good in the facility is Mr. Mahmood... rest all including all Housekeeping and receptionist were below average... they gave us a room where the table was dirty the sofa's were dirty... and when they shifted us the Ac in the hall was not working.. dissatisfied with the 5*hotel

Although the facilities are a little dated this is made up by the large size standard room and very helpful and friendly staff.
Also for their is a wide and varied range of F&B restaurants and bars.
L 'hôtel en plein travaux toutes les piscines sont fermées ouvriers dans les jardins 10 personnes dans l' hôtel ebookers devrait se renseigner au lieu de laisser aller sa clientèle avis à tous cet hôtel devrait fermer pendant ces travaux vus l'empleur y en a pour une année hôtel ne mérite pas ces étoiles
Hotel vieillot.
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 :-)
Please do not sell this property on Expedia. I had a very terrible experience right from staff to manners to cleanliness and property very old.

I think this hotel is better for families. I was traveling alone and there was constant noise. Children running and yelling in the lobby, in the elevators and in the hallways. The parents weren’t much better. Talking loudly in the hallway early mornings and late evenings. Over all my room just looked old. It was clean, but it definitely needs an update, especially considering the other hotels around Al Ain. I wish I had stayed somewhere else. I Don’t recommend this hotel if you’re alone or want some peace. Probably great for families though.
Not what I expected. Service was quite poor with less concern from the staff regarding the comfort of customers. Nevertheless, there were few great staff members who did their best.
