We stayed over the weekend in a chalet with zoo view.
And this is the way to go. It's a little extra but worth it.
You are In a newer part of the Resort with your own check in. The room is big and nicely set up. The chalet have outdoor furniture so we ordered food and had dinner facing giraffes, zebra and deers. It's worth doing breakfast as well.
your kids will love it.
If you take half or full board you can only order from the restaurant own by the resort. OK for lunch but limited choice for dinner.

Great stay !
What is great in this small hotel (27 suites only) is obviously that it is inside the zoo (facing the zebras, giraffes and oryxes area). Take care that only superior rooms have a view on the zzo, so go for these ones ! You have direct and unrestricted access to the zoo. This is a great place to go with kids. All animals in the zoo are used to being fed by visitors and they will constantly come and see you to get food (bring with you bananas from outside for the giraffe as they are crazy about them and get ready to spend AED 100+ to buy leaves inside the zoo for other animals â just avoid the biscuits for the monkeys as they actually do not like them too much and this is wasted money). The rooms are spacious, the bathrooms have apparently been renovated quite recently, there is a small kitchen with a micro-wave. The furniture and carpets are a little bit dated but frankly you do not go to this place for the comfort of the room. The staff is very professional and friendly.

Amazing hotel surrounded with the zoo which was the main highlight of the trip, it has a small pool, and not many dinning options but the one available the food is great
Breakfast let it down but the rooms were clean, staff friendly and free zoo entry for the stay means you can make multiple trips to see your favourite animals.
Our room door was opposite some animal pens which gives you a closer experience with some of the animals compared to the zoo experience.
The room was very spacious, clean, and the bed was very comfortable. The friendly staff did a great job of service and meeting all our needs. Unique staying experience by lodging being connected to a zoo.
It was good. it is great for Kids, nice swimming pool, but the issue was smell from animals, and conditions of door were bad, and fridge noise in my room was like alarm i had to turn it off. over all i enjoyed good bed, good TV, good internet. parking is small we have to park in zoo parking.
I would like to raise a complaint in this hotel. They are not accomodating we came early and frontdesk told they will call us if the rooms is ready but they did not however we saw people checking in. Since we complained they gave an old room after waiting for another 30mins. Room no AC and old no toiletries.We requested from the amanger and they transferred us to another room again we waited and again no toiletries we called housekeeping to give us.this hotel does not deserve 8.4 rating at all. in room dining also no food available within the menu they have out inside the room.
Loved the walk around with the animals every night. I fed the Elephants on the last night. Enjoyed swimming laps in the pool in the early morning to start the day!!!
It was my partners birthday so they kindly upgraded us from a room to the premium chalet with view of the giraffes! That was amazing!
However no towels were provided we had to ask twice and when they arrived no hand towels ect.
They have a lovely coffee pod machine but no coffee pods with it and when we requested more supplies those didnât come with.
The chalet was beautiful and the best was comfy!
Drove to yas island for dinner as not much is there
Arrived to property in the evening, they gave a very bad room,
1- No light at the front of the room entrance (for safety)
2- The towels at the bathroom are not enough and teared up
3- No hot water in the bathroom
4- the air condition is not adjustable
5- No hangers at the wardrobe
The next day I complained at the front deck, so the next night they provide me with a fantastic room.
Amazing place, we felt like we were Living inside the zoo. Spotted deers and gazelles were stationed just outside our room. Great breakfast and service as well. We will be going there again.
