The experience was one we will never forget. The most beautiful private cabana overlooking the desert. Watching the stars from our warm private pool at night. The exceptional staff that went above and beyond to make us comfortable. The morning drive in the desert and the evening camel ride to a beautiful location to watch the sunset with a glass of Champaign. Dining on the most delicious food served on our private balcony with a few friendly gazelles nearby. It was truly magical.

it’s authentic look. the suites were different than we are normally used to in modern hotels which added to the experience. Being inside a conservation reserve and being in close proximity to animals makes it even more unforgettable. Furthermore, the staff were extremely hospitable and attentive to our needs. I was celebrating my birthday during my stay and they made it so memorable for me. Roshan, in particular, was great and made sure all my needs were met.

Everything. I have never stayed in a resort that was so in tune with guest needs and providing exceptional service in all aspects of their work. I would recommend anyone to stay, as we fully intend to return one day. Our room was magnificent, the food was delicious, the spa was amazing, and the activities were so much fun.

the villa is amazing and very big and private. the pool is huge and overlooks the desert and wildlife.

They should limit the traffic in and out cause its a resort ,,, or change the route of cars where we don't see all the flash light at evening and day time car movements

Everything, especially the room..temperature controlled private pool…the activities

The location is amazing, a very unique experience. Its perfect to be in contact with nature. Mansour the property manager gave us a great service and arranged everything we needed beforehand. Malerie which is in charge of the activities offered at the hotel, was also great in arranging everything we wanted to do while staying there. She was also very knowledgeable of the flora and fauna at the reserve. Service in general was above our expectation, the service at the restaurant was perfect. The food offerings were great, plenty of variety. We will definitely be back.

This place is absolutely phenomenal! A true 5 star experience. From the room which is absolutely gorgeous, to all the great meals, the treatment from the staff and the complex itself. Nothing shorts fall of expectations.

Absolutely fantastic experience. The service from staff is second to none. Very tranquil and relaxing resort. The staff were extremely professional and friendly. The food, exceptional.

Loved the resort. Staff were super accommodating, met by manager at check-in, we were able to also check in by 10 a.m. which was a bonus. It was so peaceful and quiet you could hear a pin drop. We stayed at the property in July and were worried it would be too hot, however were pleasantly surprised as the decking area is shaded. All meals can be served in room too. If you want to switch off from it all then this is your place.
