    Magnificent hotel. Due to the situation in the world it was not possible to spend all the time in hotels. But the hotel staff went to the meeting and returned the amount for the stay. We would like to express our deep gratitude to Elizabeth for the excellent approach to work and great help

    They should make a kids & family area since kids are jumping and running all over the places, also at the Falaj dinner kids were running and crying and you couldn’t enjoy too much. They should have more personnel at the restaurants and English speaking personnel.

    The food is exceptional, the hotel is unbelievable!! Paola gave us a warm welcome and helped us through all our stay, she’s the best!

    We were not told that we needed to book the activities in advance so it was tricky to get the activities when we wanted. We also got terribly lost when driving to the resort, luckily someone in Reception were able to track our location and told us what we needed to do.

    The buffet breakfast was lovely and sitting out on the large balcony eating it was great. The views of the sand dunes from our bedroom window were fabulous.

    Poor sound insulation (at night you can hear guests coming to neighboring rooms, laughter), uncomfortable furniture (no shelves for things, no table for roomservice), terrible service in the suhail restaurant (waiters, bartender). We also paid for a PCR test at the hotel, according to the staff, the result was supposed to come in 24 hours (it was important for us for departure), as a result, we waited more than 33, we were nervous for the whole farewell dinner. The tests were received only 10 minutes before departure from the hotel!

    The territory, spacious rooms, delicious breakfasts and restaurants for dinner, good service from the reception, managers, incredible views around

    Small thing but annoying: stench of natural compost used to fertilize the soil around the greenery. It’s really perceptible around the some of the sun beds at the pool

    We were in the hotel also 2 years ago and somehow we felt that cleanliness was not at the same top level than at that time (some plastic waste here and there, facemask by the pool on the floor for a few hrs..) Flies by the pool. I assume they want to keep fly population under control in a sustainable (avoiding pesticide spraying during night?) way which I really admire and support.. but the downside is there are really lots of flies around the pool and the fly catchers in the palm trees give a nasty smell.. Construction works in the area within visible distance.. obviously this is not within the control of the hotel management but it is spoiling the feeling of remoteness to see trucks and cranes working all day, during the night very strong lights are visible which is also a pity

    Great location and facilities, breakfast is fantastic, love it how you can sit outdoor, staff is very professional and high quality, hotel was fully booked when we went but as the area is so large it never felt crowded

    Review edited for brevity: I came here with my wife for two nights during our honeymoon and can safely say it’s been the best days of the entire trip. The check-in process is smooth and designed to make you feel comfortable. While a staff member gets your documents, you get a welcome drink and delicious dates. The person doing your check-in will want to know if you’ve already booked any restaurants or activities and happily provides tips and recommendations based on your interests. The Arabic-themed rooms are spacious and well designed. Ancient yet modern, there’s a coziness to them that makes you immediately feel comfortable. The path that leads to the pool is gorgeous. It took us 15 minutes to get there as we were constantly making stops to take pictures and marvel at human ingenuity. We got a great massage at the Spa. My wife went back for another the following day and said it was the best she ever had. We then went to Suhail for dinner, a steakhouse on the second floor. Make sure you sit outdoors to appreciate beautiful views of the desert at night. If you only do a single activity, make sure it’s Dune Bashing. Our driver was amiable and made sure we enjoyed the ride as he when up and down the dunes. This is a thrilling experience for people looking for an adrenaline rush. For our second night, we booked dinner at Al Falaj, a Bedouin-style restaurant set up in the desert. Here is where this hotel shines gastronomically, and it’s a restaurant you absolutely can’t miss. After getting to our table, we were surprised to find live music and a skillful belly dancer going to every table showing her skills. From the Mezze to the buffet and desserts, by the time you finish you will wish you could start all over again. Thank you to the hotel staff for over-delivering in every way. We have nothing but good memories from the days we spent in your hotel.

    Perfect 10!

    Short and simple: This is a perfect 10! top 3 places I have ever stayed at and I have been to many 5star places all over the world. To put it in perspective: It's a very expensive place and therefore my expectations were obviously very high before we got there, still the resort exceeded my expectations. Says a lot. All of the staff were just wonderful! You could have a nice conversation everywhere and with everyone and they tried everything to make the stay as comfortable as possible. It's a very, very special place. The resort is right in the middle of an endless dune landscape. literally in the middle of the desert! Stunning landscape all around! The desert drives they offer are something to recommend as well. Expensive too, but they have very skilled and very professional drivers. You can do softer drives or more dune bashing and both is great because you will be the only one doing it.
