A Peaceful Beach Escape with a smile We had such a lovely stay at Danat Jebel Dhanna Resort. If you’re looking for a peaceful, relaxed beach break away from the busy city, this is perfect. A true five star hotel and service.
The beach is absolutely beautiful, soft white sand and clear water, ideal for switching off and unwinding. Seaweed gets dug away every morning.
The weather when there was 31c with a cool breeze. No clouds in sight!
The pool area is clean with a nice pool bar and the water was like a bath as this was heated.
The rooms were clean, comfortable, and generously sized, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The king size bed was a nice addition, mini fridge and refreshing shower/bath. Shampoos etc were provided even own toothbrush. We were based in a non smoking room on the 4th floor with upgraded balcony. Make sure to do this as all rooms face the sea but it's worth the sitting outside. The first floor there is smoking rooms so ensure they are non smoking if that's something you prefer.
The staff were friendly and welcoming throughout, always helpful, attentive and polite. Their smiles made you feel welcome and it's what made the holiday that much better.
The hotel has a bar area and we would have spent more time watching the entertainment if smoking was outside. But the smoke was strong so we had walks along the beach instead of spent time at the other bar.
As a gluten free person the variety of food was amazing. I've seriously put on weight. Shout out to my chefs sharifa and Freeda who took the time to go through every dish that I could eat, making me special cakes and desserts. If I didn't fancy anything they would cook it for me. This was worth it weight in gold and something I never had to worry about. Peace of mind is rare to find. The tides restaurant had a good variety, qualiry food and we enjoyed sitting with the sea view on the outside patio.
It’s definitely more of a calm, laid-back resort rather than a party vibe, which suited us perfectly. A great choice for couples or anyone wanting a quiet recharge by the sea. Not much to do around the resort but we knew this when we booked.
Transfer from airport via taxi is around £100-£120 and takes around 2hours 15 mins. It's one straight road really and the airport is very well organised.
Shout out to

February Break Lovely hotel, food was excellent, staff were brilliant.
Only downside was the Location as the hotel is a little isolated and you need to hire a car to get there. (Car hire is very reasonable) |

Exceptional Hospitality and Outstanding Service ★★★★★ Exceptional Stay – Outstanding Service and Hospitality
We had a truly wonderful experience at this hotel. From the very first day, the level of care and professionalism was impressive.
A special thank you to Ridzha, Madzhesh and Nabiullah from housekeeping. They took such great care of our room — everything was always perfectly clean, fresh, and beautifully arranged. They were incredibly kind, attentive, and always greeted us with warm smiles. Their dedication did not go unnoticed.
We would also like to thank Nabiullah, who was extremely polite and helpful throughout our stay. The staff here are genuinely attentive and ready to assist at any moment — whether clearing dishes in the restaurant or helping with any request. The service feels natural, not forced, and that makes all the difference.
The restaurant deserves special praise. The international cuisine was excellent and very diverse. I especially enjoyed the Arabic and Indian dishes — full of flavor, beautifully presented, and authentic. Every meal felt like a small culinary journey.
The gym is also very well equipped, with modern machines and everything needed for a proper workout. Clean, comfortable, and motivating.
Overall, the hospitality here is exceptional. The team creates an atmosphere where you feel welcomed, cared for, and valued.
Highly recommended — we would be happy to return. |

Lovely stay at Danat Jebel Dhanna The room we booked wasn't available on arrival. The Duty Manager upgraded us to a fabulous family villa which we really appreciated. Shawty, Shubhan and Majesh looked after our villa very well and made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. |

The staffs were incredibly friendly and welcoming which made our stay even more enjoyable. Although there weren’t many activities available, the place itself was cozy, peaceful, and relaxing. It’s perfect escape from city life - away from traffic, noise and daily stress. We went there to celebrate a birthday, the staffs made sure to make it special and memorable. |

We had an amazing city break in the hotel.Long rode from Dubai,but worth it.It was great surprise to see the greenery and clear waters around the hotel. Trampoline and bouncy castle for kids was a win win. Not crowded at all and very lovely food options. WE really enjoyed our stay and for sure will come back some day again. |
