The food at dinner could be hotter, although appreciate the cool winter evenings and sitting outside makes this difficult.
The peace and tranquillity of the resort. The location. The Bedouin Suite. The arrival and departure process. The friendly staff and impeccable service! The breakfast, lunch and dinner at Al Diwaan Restaurant, all fabulous, particularly liked the Sri Lankan curry dinner. The Sundowner Trip into the desert.

I would only complain about the price which is exorbitantly expensive. Prices are not for the faint of heart. The price and the incredibly large bed! Also ants were a all over the room. I suggest serving the dates and nuts away from where the ants could find them.
Wow! Just wow! We specially fell in love with the animals hanging out in our own backyard. Bambis everywhere. Just so serene and beautiful. Every last detail!
