I found the rsort to be less thanthe expectations i had.
The activities were very dull, i did not have the chance to book any spa time, and there was no flexibility regarding the schedule and my particular needs. Food was pretty good..
the site promises much more than what was actually offered.

We stayed here for 3 nights and found the experience wonderful. The staff were execellent and nothing was too much trouble. The room with swimming pool was the best we had stayed in.

Was looking for a different experience from beach or city stay so decided on the desert--as it turned out, December was perfect for it... 30 deg C in the day, 15 to 20 deg C at night.

The resort itself beyond fault... we requested and got a secluded and private suite (all standalone suites here) that come with a large heated pool (the pool guy comes around and asks you if 28 d Celsius for the water is ok?) The oryx and deer come right up to the pool and there is myriad birds flitting about.

The inclusive activities (camel riding out at sunset, watching falconry exhibit etc) are on the staid side so we engaged a related company to take us sand boarding, dune bashing, quad biking and hotair ballooning. All very exciting!

The food (also inclusive) was excellent most times, especially when they had the set menu instead of the buffet. Wines are a bit costly.

We intended to avoid the city thus we stayed for 4 mights. However it seems that most people just stay for a night or 2. When we left for the city a night before our flight, we immediately missed the crisp desert air and the quiet. It was a most romantic and memorable trip and the resort played a large part in it.

This place is fantastic and ideal if you just want to relax and spend time on your own. If you are staying in one of the Bedouin Suites then ask to stay in Suite 23 which is the most private. From the terrace and infinity pool you can only see the desert - it is truly magical. The private pool is sizeable and the bedroom and bathroom is massive.

There is a restaurant but we ate most of our meals in our room and I would definitley recommend for an extra 100 dirums having your evening meal served to you in your room as it so special. Food was excellent apart from dinner this should be of a higher quality with more choice for the price charged, however, this did not detract from our stay. Also, we were unaware but you can also ask the chef for local cuisine for dinner which we would have liked to have sampled if we had known.

Service is excellent and it is fun being picked up on a golf cart and being whizzed to whereever you want to go to.

Two activites per day are included in the price and we did camel trekking both of which I would recommend. We did not have any spa treats but the gym was great with uptodate modern equipment.

I would definitly go back to this hotel!
