The resort itself is as stunning as it is laid back. A well needed refreshing break from the big city life, a real breath of fresh air. What really took the trip to the next level however was the quality of service and attentiveness of the staff at every turn. We were designated our own personal butler, Kamran, on arrival and he really made sure that our every need was catered for and was always offering useful information and suggestions for us, even bringing us wonderful fruit plates and baklava to our rooms which really was a touch of class!! Everyone from the bar and waiting staff to the chef were extremely welcoming and took the time to have a chat with us throughout our stay. The pool area is simply stunning with plenty of shaded cabanas and a swim up pool bar to grab a refreshing drink. The entire resort has such an awesome Bedouin style retreat vibe and although it was very quiet being off season it still maintained a rich atmosphere. Both restaurants Italian and Moroccan offered up exceptional dishes with extensive wine lists. The only thing I would say is that the lighting could be adapted in the Italian restaurant in the evenings to offer a more intimate ambience as it felt a bit too bright which creates a more formal uptight atmosphere, an adaptable dimming system with some extra candle light would work wonders in there for the more relaxed Italian dining vibe. Finally our room was luxuriously cozy with pool view balcony and no expense spared with regards to attention to detail of what one might need during a vacation. An extra deep bathtub is always welcome and this one was big enough for 2 people and you were able to soak in the bath whilst watching a movie with a glass of wine in hand which is always a luxury comfort! Overall top marks for this place and I will really look forward to returning during the busy season to check the place out with a more lively vibe too.

The staff were EXCEPTIONAL. They went above and beyond to make sure we were always happy and taken care of. They went the extra mile everytime. The guys at the pool, Kar and the rest. Also Dipesh in f&b, I suppose, was phenomenal. They removed items off the bill that the kids didn't end up eating/liking and offered to replace it. We ate at the Italian restaurant in the evening and had an amazing experience with the staff there, a major plus was that the kids got to feed horses while we had dinner. We also did a horse ride around sunset into the desert which was so beautiful. I would say we recieved one of the best services I have ever experienced throughout our 2 days there. I found it pretty great that they had the calorie count on the menus at the pool bar and the Italian restaurant, I like that extra step. The guys that are with the falcon, hawk and owl are so kind and took time to explain to the kids about each one.

This is truly one of the best hotel experiences I’ve ever had. Nestled in the heart of the desert, it offers an incredibly beautiful and unforgettable stay. The room was exceptionally comfortable, complete with its own veranda, offering a perfect spot to relax. The breakfast was simply amazing, and the pool – it felt like it was just for me, and I can confidently say it’s one of the best pools in the world. I could see myself returning here again and again. The atmosphere makes you feel as though you’ve stepped back into the enchanting world of the Arabian centuries.

Amazing rooms, extremely clean, super nice and friendly people. Was an impressive stay and I would really recommend to go there if you´re happy outside of AbuDhabi. It´s an almost 1h drive into the city, which is for sure the biggest disadvantage if you have to work, but same time the biggest advantage to just be by the pool, relax and enjoy the quietness and the peace of the desert. I really liked the design, the comfy beds, tub, pool. Everything on a very high level. Really great stay. I loved it.

The property had a classic Arabic feel. The staff were incredible and couldn’t do enough for us from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. The level of service was 10/10. The room was spacious and the facilities were great for a relaxing weekend. The food and drinks were amazing, and the staff were willing to alter certain dishes to accommodate for my girlfriend’s dietary requirements. 10/10 stay, would highly recommend.
