A lovely, peaceful hotel if you’re looking to get away from the city. The Adult Pool was a key feature and Jimmy at the pool bar was excellent as were the breakfast staff. The Garden Terrace room was not as luxurious as I had expected sadly although the time of year did affect this also (early sunsets, mosquitos). Overall a nice, boutique hotel.

For anyone looking for a stylized version of a desert oasis, the Bab al Shams will tick every box. Food, service and facilities are top-tier, and it provides a bona fide escape from the hustle and bustle of downtown Dubai. It is also perfectly situated across from the Al Qudra cycle track, which must be one of the world's best dedicated cycling facilities.

Fabulous resort to really disconnect! Even their shower gels and creams are original and smell amazing - the amazing concierge helped me secure some even when it was out of stock in the store! Excellent service and amenities all around, with also delicious restaurants.

Great getaway resort in the desert. Awesome vibes overall and very friendly staffs. It was my first time in dubai and it was a wonderful experience. Highly recommend the 4x4 jeep car safari tour. Special thanks to my guide ISMAIL who was professional and helped me had so much fun in the desert.

Wonderful staycation in the desert

We had a wonderful stay. The hotel shares a similar aesthetic and atmosphere with Al Wathba in Abu Dhabi, but with a cozier feel and modern touches that we really enjoyed. The service was impeccable. While the food didn't quite reach the heights of some luxury hotels we've experienced, it wasn't a major drawback, and the overall experience was fantastic.

This resort is an absolute dream! It is the quintessential definition of relaxation and luxury without any pretentiousness. The hotel grounds are architecturally designed so beautifully. The service at the relaxing pool was impeccable. We will absolutely return!

Perfect retreat in the desert. We stayed one night and wished we had stayed longer. The staff was welcoming and looking to give us the best service. The room was very nice, big and clean and the bedding so comfortable.
