Unbelievable resort. I’ve had this on my UAE bucket list for the longest time and it did not disappoint. The service here is second to none. They physically cannot do enough for you and every aspect of your stay is so personable. The room is fantastic and filled with lots of wonderful amenities. The views here are incredible. It’s a real break away from the city. Food was excellent and the breakfast had such a delicious and wide variety of choice. Highly recommend visiting Qasr Al Sarab, it will not disappoint.

The whole experience at this desert resort was a dream - we loved the facilities, the scenery and the staffs and would recommend it to everyone we know. All the staff were accommodating, but I would like to especially thank Firu, who took care of our every need from check-in to our entire stay at the resort. Thanks to her, my wife and I, as well as our kids, are going home with very pleasant memories.

We chose to stay at your resort for our honeymoon to create a special experience. The interior and exterior of the resort that we experienced over the two days were absolutely amazing, offering an exotic atmosphere we could never find in Korea.
All the staff were so friendly, and if given the chance, we would love to stay at your resort again in the future.
It was definitely worth driving over three hours from Dubai to get there 💜. See you next week!

Fantastic unique desert resort!
“Qasr Al Sarab” was and is for us one of the best places in the world - its quiet location in the middle of the breathtaking desert with amazing views and access to the big dunes is fabulous already, but the luxurious resort itself is great as well - amazing architecture and design, spacious rooms, many wonderful details - and maximum privacy in the exclusive unique private pool villas with excellent butlers.
So you can just relax, enjoy the 2 big pools and the SPA treatments, or do various kind of sports and other activities.
Besides that various gorgeous restaurants and bars leave no wish open.
Great also the sustainability in the resort - no plastic bags or water bottles.
And last but not least:
We really love the desert and the resort itself, but like always most important are the people, who make the difference… and here Qasr Al Sarab’s entire staff is really amazing - everybody is very kind, attentive and caring. So you feel immediately warmly welcome and are treated not only like a guest, but more than a dear friend or family member. They remember your name and try to fulfill even special wishes to make you happy => big compliments!
Therefore we again enjoyed our stay very much and are looking very much forward to coming back soon!
PS. Check upfront, if there are any construction works with noise or limitation of areas! And if you want to enjoy the outdoor areas, best time might be from November until March, otherwise it’s very hot and in the summer season some restaurants or other areas are closed. Recommendation: The private pool villas - the ultimate experience!

I'll try to write as much details as possible om what was an incredible visit to what I can only describe as heaven on earth.
Whe you first drive into the Qasr al sarab road that leads u to the resort..you feel like you're in a movie. The road leads you to the most beautiful site. Truly like an oasis. You're greeted by very friendly faces who welcome you warmly to a stunning lobby. Everything is detailed to perfection. Feels like you're in another world. In the distance u can see the beautiful sand dunes surrounding the resort. The staff who helped us were Islam & Rashmee. It's always a breath of fresh air being greeted in a nice way as it sets the mood for the holiday.
The facilities in the hotel are all amazing. The setting of the pools with the background of desert was truly something else. We were recommended a few excursions - lots of variety available but we decided to enjoy the hotel instead. Swimming and walking around the resort in itself is amazing. We were encouraged to walk up the nearest sand dune to watch the sunset. It wasn't an easy task but well worth going up. The views are Incredible. The sand is like silk..beautiful to touch but quite tricky to climb up so be wary and wear comfortable shoes.
We had lunch by the pool at Ghadeer restaurant on two separate days. First day we were helped by KB who was super helpful and very friendly. I have 4 kids so we aren't an easy bunch but honestly went back the next day because service was incredible. Food was lovely too. Thanks KB. Day after we were helped by other staff like Thobani & Rajneesh and their supervisor Sanjeet who I made sure to compliment the staff too. Honestly can't fault their service and food was lovely too.
The pool was a beautiful temperature and pool boys Alex & Samedu made sure that my kids had pool toys to play with and occasional ice lollies made the pool a major hit with our family.
We were also told that sunrise is incredible around the resort. We woke up before the sun came up and called a golf buggy to take us to the sand dune where we could see sunrise from. It was an experience I will never forget. Truly out of this world. I recommend it 100%
Breakfast was full of amazing choices. Really nothing you can want that's not available.
When our visit came to an end, even our checkout experience was amazing. We were helped by Rashmee,Mohamed wasi & Naveen & it goes to show that sometimes being bid farewell in a nice way is just as important as being greeted.
Thank you to all staff for giving us an experience we will never forget. We will be back!
