There was nothing I didn't like and wished I could have stayed longer.

The breakfast buffet was outstanding. The activities were well coordinated, educational and very fun! The property was amazing and the staff was outstanding!! On a scale of 1 to 10, it was a 100!

Not enough seats around the pool

Location

Stayed in April 2024

The adults only pool is small relative to the number of adult couples that stay at the resort. Maybe an adults only dining section would be a thought.

The location in the middle of the desert dunes is spectacular. The resort staff from the time you arrive until you leave make certain your every need is met. The entire facility is first class.

Too far from cities, but it's worthy

Everything was great 👍

It’s been almost perfect throughout except it took far too long to arrange a buggy to carry my luggages for check out in the end. It took more than half an hour and I had to call four times for someone to attend my request eventually.

It’s an amazing place and staff were helpful and provided excellent services with professionalism and dignity.

Everything about the hotel was superb. The staff, the location, the food, the activities, the rooms and design - all flawless. We had an incredible stay!

Nothing. (It is a long road journey to reach it, but if you are headed to a destination in the desert…)

Elegance, attention to detail, amenities, excellent staff, amazing location.

We had trouble booking a table in the restaurants. There are three, however, on our very first day, after the long trip, we had to eat in the room because there were simply no tables available for dinner. It was Friday before the long holiday, a very popular time, and I understand that. However, the hotel of such level could be a bit more considerate of all the guests (or add more tables to accommodate?)

It was a great way to celebrate our anniversary, a little compliment from the hotel was waiting for us already when we checked in. The beauty of the dunes is astonishing, I was totally mesmerized. The bathroom was so beautiful and spacious, and everything was very tidy. The food in the steak house was also 10/10.

Nothing we didn't like

Love the lighting options in the rooms. Love the sustainability consciousness and efforts.

Really beautiful resort. Special thanks to the guy at the pool side restaurant (who was from Bihar like us - apologies for forgetting the name) and made us feel at home and took special efforts to look after our diet preferences. Special thanks also to Wilson, Jafar and Ali Malik for great experience at in activities.

For sure the cleaning service could have paid more attention to the details of evening cleaning service with closing of the curtains and arranging of the carpets.

The most beautiful hotel in the really deep desert I have ever seen until now . Amazing position. Gorgeous swimming pool and the view of sunset are really come from farytale

The restaurant near the old pool was not so exceptional in taste. And the terrace restaurant in the main building would need better yet intimate lighting of each table, to fully appreciate the served fine dining there.

The unique secluded setting. The dream infinity pool. The large size of the luxurious bedroom and bathroom and loggia.

Our villa was not very private since many people were able to walk infront of our villa.

Its spacious , very clean and the pool was great.

I am sure everyone, including me, thinks it is expensive. But good things come with the price.

excellent breakfast, can't even recall the last time I had it so good. Great location, if you can stand a lot of sand around you.

Stayed in December 2023

Litter was evident in various places and seemingly ignored by staff - we ended up picking some of this up ourselves after it was walked past by multiple members of staff. Additional bins around the site would help to reduce this.

Staff were fantastic and so welcoming, dining options brilliant, a true oasis in the desert, wonderful for celebrating special occasions - we chose this beautiful location to celebrate a birthday and to propose. We are excited to already book our next stay because of how special we were made to feel and celebrated.

The resort is an amazing site in the desert. Authentic and far away from the hustle and bustle Dubai (proper for mass tourism). The place is exceptional, rooms are great and the breakfast nutritious and with large variety. All in all a great experience.

Nothing really.

I have no words to describe this place. It is out of this world, especially the location. You feel like you are in a sort of Arab fairytale. The view is astonishing, breathtaking. The hotel is in the middle of sand dunes, rooms are excellent. You have to stay at this hotel once in your life.

Stayed in December 2023

There are only three restaurants in the evening with the fine dining steak restaurant and traditional Arabic taster menu restaurant often fully booked. Leaving only one casual restaurant by the pool. The room service menu is extensive, but we didn't choose to dine in the room so i can't comment. A very minor point - The crockery and food presentation at times was a little too 'rustic' for such a top quality hotel.

The staff were exceptionally friendly, helpful, efficient and attentive. They go above and beyond to make your stay a comfortable as possible. The location is breathtaking, with plenty of activities available if you want to get out into the dunes. The room was spacious and comfortable with room service arriving in a timely manner. The attention to detail was fabulous, like putting toiletries and shoes on little mats/ towels to keep it all tidy. Beautiful bed linen with a medium firm mattress and plenty of pillows. Walking through the grounds of the hotel was a pleasure, with every turn a treat for the eyes and whizzing around on the golf buggies was great fun to get between the pool, spa and various restaurants. Breakfast was plentiful, varied and delicious with lots of fresh fruit, salads, cold meats and cheese options alongside the extensive breads, pastries, cereals, egg station etc. There were different daily local Asian, Indian and Arabic dishes to choose from, which was a wonderful opportunity to try new flavours. The newly opened infinity pool is adults only, with a stunning outlook and this was just beside one of the best equipped hotel gyms I've ever used. The gym staff were super helpful and the pool attendants friendly and available. Lovely little touches abounded within the hotel. The pool has extra suncream if you'd forgotten some, glasses cleaning solution, ice lollies and cold face towel were offered around at the hottest part of the day. The spa had herbal welcome and post-treatment teas served with dates which could be taken on the terrace to watch the sunset. The list goes on.... Many thanks to all the staff and management for their attention to detail and customer services. I very much hope to return in the near future.
