I had a delightful time at this resort! The staff really made my experience special, particularly Yasin and Sidi, who were so attentive and welcoming. The location is simply stunning, perfect for relaxation. However, I did have to wait quite a while for my pizza during lunch, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, it's a beautiful spot for some peace of mind, but the service could use a little more polish at times.

Our stay at this stunning island resort was absolutely magical! We arrived via a speedboat, which set the perfect tone for our getaway. The staff were exceptionally helpful, and the villa we got was spacious and beautifully laid out, perfect for our family. The beach and pool areas were incredibly relaxing, but I did notice that some restaurants were still closed, which limited our dining options a bit. Nevertheless, the in-villa dining was fantastic. Overall, this place is an absolute gem for a family vacation, though it could use a few more open dining venues.

I had an amazing experience on my trip to Zaya Nurai Island! The beach and pool area were absolutely stunning, and the brunch was top-notch with some delicious food and drinks. While the room was exceptional, the service had its hiccups, especially during the boat transfer. Overall, it's a beautiful island getaway for a day, but there are some areas that could improve, especially for an overnight stay.

The beach villa was stunning and beautifully designed, offering a luxurious feel with spaciousness and modern amenities. The only downside was that it lacked small complimentary items typically found in high-end hotels.

Zaya Nurai is on a picturesque island in Abu Dhabi, providing a lovely, relaxing bay and beautiful beach. However, the signage and taxi directions could use improvement to avoid confusion.

I had a beautiful stay on the island and enjoyed every moment with my kids. The facilities were fantastic, especially the private pools in our villa. There were a few hiccups with the service at times, but overall, Rabi and his housekeeping team made our stay memorable. Just a couple of minor issues kept it from being perfect.

I had a mixed experience at Zaya Nurai Island. On one hand, the location is absolutely stunning, offering breathtaking views and a relaxing environment. However, the service was disappointing, with several mix-ups and a lack of attentiveness that really detracted from the overall experience. The dining options had potential but were marred by poor service and less than satisfactory cleanliness at times.
