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.

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

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!

Do yourself a favor, stay somewhere else.

The hotel is old and the rooms are outdated.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.

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.

A relaxing family stay -good with kids

A short break for our family of 5 with our elderly mother. The restaurant staff were very helpful and accommodated our needs. Special thanks to Okye in the restaurant and Roberto (who cleaned our room) who went over and above to serve us. A big thanks to Augustine (valet staff) for his sound trip advice! Despite breakfast being a little hectic (school holidays and post- Christmas), we had a great time.

The hotel was great overall although some things were old the hotel’s furniture was good and the hotel was beautiful the staff were extremely friendly, helpful, welcoming and professional as well some of the staff we saw really helped were Arrel, Helen, Fatima, and Okey. This hotel really lacked good hygiene in places such as the public bathrooms and services but the rooms were extremely clean.
