Samar United Arab Emirates

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

Benson United Arab Emirates

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.

Nicole United States of America

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.

Mariano United States of America

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.

Rak United Arab Emirates

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.

Rania United Arab Emirates

Overall, I had a great experience at (Al Maha); staff was incredibly helpful, and the amenities were great. The suite was wonderful, clean, and perfectly located with our own private pool ..Ariel was very helpful and helpful with a great sense of service… Definitely will visit again

Hussein United Arab Emirates

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.

Elsa United Arab Emirates

Everything 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!!
