Loved the hotel. Room was amazing and staff and food very good. Open air restaurant was a treat although we could not even taste 10% of all the food available.
A lot of money for one night but was our anniversary and did not mind spending extra. Is quite a special venue though.

Wunderschöne Anlage in der Wüste zum Abschalten. Herrlicher Pool, sehr freundliches Personal
Service lässt leider von Jahr zu Jahr etwas nach. Vor einigen Jahren gab es noch einen ordentlichen Turn down, Beach Taschen, mehr Service am Pool usw) aber dieser Eindruck hat nichts mit der Bewertung zu tun.

Beautiful settings, lovely room and facilities in general. The Gym/spa are outstanding!!
The pool water isn’t acclimatised, so the water was a bit cold. Also, you would see some plastics/trash around the desert in the surrounding areas of the hotel.

Zimmer, Speisen Angebot wirklich gute Qualität
Keine wirkliche Wüste mit Dünen, Pool Anlage überfüllt, für eine Nacht gut, länger möchte ich nicht bleiben, Abendessen mit Folklore Show eine Massenabfertigung

Le lieu est incroyable. Personnel extrêmement aimable et à l’écoute de la moindre demande/remarque.
C’est un lieu digne d’un palace
Le restaurant Al Hadheerah est un piège à touriste

Beautiful place, unique architecture, amazing nature.
Rooms were beautiful but somehow lacked practicality. Staff was friendly but I didn’t feel they were treating guests as it should be for a 5 star resort, but focusing at extracting monetary value out of you than providing a service.

É um lugar espetacular! As piscinas são excelentes, os restaurantes são fabulosos! A comida é muito saborosa e bem servida! A atenção aos detalhes foi essencial para a melhor experiência. Na piscina, até entregavam frutas gratuitamente para os hóspedes para refrescar o calor (fomos no inverno, mas ainda era bem quente). O restaurante temático foi o nosso preferido! Recomendamos muito!
Foi tudo maravilhoso
5.0
The location is lovely and the staff are very friendly and accommodating.
The facilities are underwhelming, the swimming pool is too shallow, too cold and just pointless for such a well renowned hotel.
Attention to detail also lacking, light bulbs missing, fan in bedroom unusably noisy.

The resort is beautiful and there are a lot of activities for families
It is not as secluded as we thought

bel hôtel piscine chauffée
l emplacement pas vraiment dans le desert ,
sans grand intérêt,
chambre sombre et petite malgré belle déco,
erreur de facturation en ma devafeur ,
petit déjeuné bien que varié de moyenne qualité, éviter thé et café à l eau du robinet au goût douteux

Unglaublich schönes Hotel mit sehr leckerem Essen! Das Personal war außerordentlich nett und immer extrem bemüht uns jeden Wunsch zu erfüllen! Poolanlage und Umgebung sehr schön. Hier wird täglich akribisch überall geputzt! Sehr sehr sauber!
Das angrenzende Restaurant Al Hadheerah ist abends extrem laut. Wir hatten gegen Aufpreis eine Junior Suite welche angeblich die Beste sei - leider konnten wir uns abends wenn die Kinder geschlafen haben kaum auf dem Balkon unterhalten, da die Lautstärke der Shows im Restaurant derart laut waren. Sonst gibt es wirklich nichts auszusetzen!

This place is amazing, quiet and perfect if are looking for the calm from desert avoiding shopping and noise of city. You can see a sunset everyday and relax.
The breakfast is superb with a good variety of fruits and food.
I use a SPA that was wonderful experience.
My suggestion is humanize a little more. For example: in Six Senses or Aman Hotels, your receive a welcome and goodbye gifts and rituals from a manager of hotel and staff.
Music in swimming pool could be local or traditional not american or pop. In evening turn maybe we could receive a traditional sweet or similar, that reminds the origin from Desert.

Frühstück außergewöhnlich, essen überteuert.
Auswahl zwischen 4 Restaurants prima. Spa ist eine andere Dimension.
Preise in den Restaurants, besonders im neuen Nivine - viel zu teuer für das gebotene Essen.

Noting, it was excellent!

Resort was charming with some great restaurants which offered a lot of variation for dinner time only with Al hadeerah being the highlight of the stay.
Location can barely be called a desert, there is no dunes and a lot of greenery arround, limited option for food during the day and activities being offered are not special at all and very high price. UAE deserts have alot to offer and are extraordinary but this location was to close to the city which did not feel as authentic

The property was beautiful. Cut off from the city, earthy, lots of greenery, beautiful sunsets & peaceful to a certain extent. The staff & service was on point.
The private party held at Nineve on the 13th night which had Bollywood music playing so loud we could hear it Zala while having dinner & later in our room. The main course & desserts at Zala was nothing to rave about. I would focus on quality & not quantity.

Tout était parfait ! Le cadre splendide, les chambres spacieuses et très bien décorées, le personnel au petit soin, le petit déjeuner délicieux. On a fait une sortie dans le désert en 4x4 avec Ismail et c’était génial. On peut aussi faire une courte ballade en chameau tous les soirs de 17h à 18h.
Le buffet du soir est délicieux.
Les piscines sont tellement agréables et adaptées à tous les goûts. Bref, je recommande
