Hatta Fort Hotel

On arrival the reception area to the hotel looked dated and drab but once we were served a complimentary fruit juice and were given our rooms quickly even though we arrived early in the morning we were more impressed. The unrefurbished rooms were a bit dated especially in the bathrooms but they were large and airey and not bad. The refurbised rooms were all full but they looked much nicer and well worth the small extra cost. The service was excellent at the hotel. They even took us to visit the nearby heritage village when we enquired... more

Last weekend we were at 'Hatta Fort Hotel' & for sure we enjoyed a lot....! Along with us was our two year old daughter, who got all the attention of the staffs & their pampering with some little goodies at times when she was fussy about anything. She also enjoyed the fun time with her dad, swimming at the Rock Pools designed with safety measures for every age, with its beautiful theme. Its always better not to have high expectations, that is one reason why we really enjoyed this trip. Being away from the city life.....in the... more

Spent 3 nights at the Hatta Fort as part of a trip to Dubai. Whilst Dubai is very impressive it was so nice to escape the mad rush of the city for the peace of the mountains. We were warned that the hotel was a little dated but we found it excellent. We paid extra to stay in the newly renovated suites and it is well worth the money. Fabulous bed and sparkling bathroom. Little touches such as flowers and chocolates on your pillow at night & a basket of fruit when you arrive. It is a Relais & Chateau hotel so expected a good standard but food... more

This is the third time my wife and I have stayed at the Hatta Fort Hotel. We adore everything about it and cannot wait to return again. The manager and his staff are simply the best and everyone there is so attentive to your every need without going over the top. Since our last visit some of the rooms have been refurbished and they are fabulous. The peace and tranquillity after the hub of Dubai is akin to another world. We love the excellent food which is on a par to any leading hotel, with a choice to match. I cannot imagine anyone... more

My husband and I stayed at the Hatta Fort Hotel for our first anniversary. We loved it. The hotel is undergoing some renovation but that did not impact on us at all. Our room was huge, with a lovely fruit basket waiting for us. The rooms are like cottages, with high wooden ceilings and lovely balconys. Bathrooms are slightly shabby but fine. Food in the Gazebo restuarant was lovely, room service breakfast was one of the best ever! It was very quiet and peaceful, not many other guests, so the pool wasn't crowded.<br... more

We booked to stay at Hatta Fort after reading the great reviews on this site. We got married whilst in Dubai, and wanted to spend a few days away from the hustle and bustle of Dubai. I have to say we weren't impressed. The hotel reminded me of a British traditional holiday resort - a bit shabby around the edges, old fashioned decor etc The rock pool was closed, and the residents pool was unbearably cold, and the golf course was shut. All in all we were just really disappointed. The grounds are very pretty, but when we arrived... more

You know you are someplace special as you step onto your veranda overlooking seas of flowers and showered with bird songs. Spacious rooms, unobtrusive service, a chilled pool for the hottest of days and countless actvities make Hatta Fort Hotel a real treat. Have a manager tour you through the whole property and learn the history of this royal vacation escape turned resort.

I visited the Hatta Fort Hotel with my fiance in October 2004 and was extremely impressed. The rooms are beautiful chalet style all with a private balcony and are clean and spacious. Our booking included a set evening meal - we had a 5 course a la carte meal every night and every meal was fantastic. The hotel had some lovely touches - we were provided with fresh fruit in our room daily and a waiter would bring fruit to us when at the swimming pool. Also, every night when we returned from our meal, the beds had been turned down and fresh... more

IMy husband and I spent 6 nights at the Hatta Fort, on a B & B basis, in September 2004. We had a wonderful time - the hotel was excellent in every respect. Nothing was too much trouble. The swimming pools were lovely and, as we also went out of season, 10 people around the pool constituted 'rush hour'. The rooms were large, well maintained and contained everything necessary for an enjoyable stay. The staff were friendly and helpful. Unlike the previous reviewer we didn't try the desert golf (the mini golf was more our style), but... more

My wife, Daughter, her boy friend and I spent 5 days at Hatta in August 2003. The hotel couldn't be faulted for service, staff and the rooms. The swimming pools were excellent. Our stay was during the low season and at times we were the only people in the pools. During a game of golf on the desert course one of the waiters brought cool cloths and water out to us A minor problem which may affect people on a budget is the fact that you can only eat in the hotel restaurants. Booking bed and breakfast helps and another little tip is to walk... more
