The team and the facilities are amazing. We got stuck in the sand on the way in and they came and rescued us. The food and camel ride was also a highlight for us.
United Arab EmiratesEverything about this place and experience was perfect. Everyone in the staff was lovely. Our guest relation manager Roshan was very helpful and friendly and gave us a complimentary cake and sweet personalized card for our anniversary celebration. The food at the restaurant was exceptional for all meals - breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and the staff at the restaurant were all lovely and helped us made the best choices. Also, the private pool is temperature controlled which is a perfect thing to enjoy the resort in both summer and winter. Seeing gazelles and oryxes all over the resort is also a big big plus!!
