Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers stunning dune views from the rooms, where the bed was incredibly comfortable and had all the expected amenities. The service was top-notch with an excellent room upgrade, but there were occasional delays due to limited staff. Located right in the desert, the hotel provides a unique experience with breathtaking surroundings. The dining experience, although included, lacked variety and was heavy on spicy foods. Overall, the facilities were modern and luxurious, contributing to a comfortable stay.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel, with super comfortable beds and a great garden view, but the service could use a bit more attention. The location right in the desert was truly unique and special.
The hotel offers a stunning view of the dunes and a very relaxing balcony. The service was excellent, including a room upgrade. However, there were not enough waiters or kitchen staff during service. The location is right in the desert, providing a unique experience, and the dining options include some delicious Ala-carte choices. The room was clean, comfortable, and modern.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel with a breathtaking view of the dunes from my room in traditional Arabian style. The balcony was so relaxing, but the service could have been better with the staff not showing up until I called the manager. However, the service did redeem itself with excellent service and a room upgrade. The dining options were limited, but the facilities were top-notch, making it a great value for money.
