Amazing desert resort hotel in the most amazing location amongst rolling sand dunes.. staff are really friendly and attentive and the quality of the restaurant and food are exceptional. If you want a luxury desert experience this one of the best…
The food was excellent!
The facilities were wonderful!
The location is spectacular!
The car service from Dubai to the desert resort, and then from the resort to Abu Dhabi was first rate.
We loved our three nights there!
Absolutely awesome stay. Would recommend this hotel to anyone who wants a unique, memorable and luxurious experience. The staff are wonderful and the experience can’t be beat. The scenery and location of the hotel are stunning.
Hotel was beautiful, staff very nice and ready to help.
We met Andres the chef from one of the restaurants, very nice, he took the time to show us around the hotel and beauty of it. Food was good, service at the pool, excellent.
Fantastic staff, super welcoming and always one step ahead. We’ve had the chance to interact with several staff members, all super lovely people who made our stay special. Everything was truly spotless. Services, amenities and foo & beverage can be more expensive, but the resort is quite niche in a remote location. So probably expected
