This resort is exceptional. It absolutely exceeded all expectations. It is immaculately clean and maintained very well. The food I have to say it was one of the best, always fresh, very tasty and different every day. Staff and customer service is beyond comparison to other places, everyone is so happy and always willing to help. Great energy, positive vibes, definitely recommend.

Overall we had a good stay at this resort, and would increase the review to 3.5 if I was able. The property is beautifully maintained, and grounds are immaculate. However for a property which positions itself as a luxury desert resort the service was somewhat erratic for a resort of this class. From long wait times at the pool bar, long wait times for drinks at dinner, to a less than willing concierge (in relation to a small pharmacy request) it is the little things that distinguish the good from the great particularly in Dubai. The food quality at the buffet was fantastic, I must note which is probably a credit to the executive sous chef Craven.

Service was at the top notch. They really treat people nicely. We really had fun staying here. They even offer to get me medicine for my swollen eyes.
Staff will not leave you hanging, whenever they see you clueless or something, they will assist you.
Room was superb. Ambient was very nice. A good place for retreat from busyness of city. Multiple choice of pool, great for kids and adults.
Above all, everything is great here.

We came here for a pool day. It’s such a wonderful setting, the whole pool area is vast and well laid out. The infinity pool overlooking the desert is amazing. Camels and falcons come out around 5pm which was wonderful. The food served by the pool was very tasty and well presented.
A few small gripes. The changing rooms by the pool are small and poorly equipped and maintained. No shampoo or hair dryers etc. I appreciate that most people will get changed back in their rooms however for those doing a pool day it would be nice to have better facilities in the changing rooms. The showers in are very slow draining.

Amazing resort - beautiful grounds, pools, restaurants, and bedroom/bathroom. 5/5 on cleanliness. The staff were amazing and went the extra mile. Great location - only 45 minute drive from the city. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be coming back!
