Very special experience to drive and stay there in a real desert. Services are good but unfortunately there is only two restaurants to choose from and little facilities and activities nearby to enjoy more on desert activity of desert camping.

Extremely friendly staff, very nicely designed hotel and large pool. Unfortunately, drinks (even non-alcoholic), spa and activities are very expensive.

except flies around the table in the restaurant which is annoying, everything is fine. And don’t expect the service level as high as a south east asia resort

This hotel is the best hotel I have ever stayed in!!! I originally wanted to choose a hotel closer to the center of the desert, but I calculated that it would take four hours to go there, which was too tiring, so I chose this hotel near Abu Dhabi. I didn't expect that it would become the hotel that reminded me to post good reviews all the time during this trip.
Facilities: The whole hotel is in the desert, but the transportation is convenient. The swimming pool is beautiful. The rooms are also very good. The photos are also very good. I took the photos of my life in this hotel.
Hygiene: The room is very clean, there is no dead corner for hygiene, and all the products are big brands. Although this is very basic, it is very important.
Environment: There are many desert hotels. This one is reasonably priced and the quality is not discounted at all. The room is spacious and beautiful. You can hear birds singing in the morning. It is especially suitable for escaping from the city! ! ! There is a small sand dune on the way to the hotel. We took a lot of photos on it and saw traces of small snakes. Here I would like to remind everyone not to disturb wild animals~
Service: This is really the most amazing thing for me. The parking, car delivery and guest ushering services after arriving at the hotel are really great. Ice cubes and anything else are also very timely. In fact, there are many things that are really heartwarming. From the most basic aspect of greeting guests, it is different from the formulaic greetings of other hotels. Every staff member will be very enthusiastic when greeting, and smile at the same time. When I was about to leave, the parking guy helped me get the car and asked me if I wanted to bring more water. He was afraid that we didn’t have water, and asked me if I wanted ice or room temperature. In fact, compared with many big-name hotels, this hotel is really far beyond expectations! I must come again next time

Less than an hour's drive from Abu Dhabi, taxi fare is 130AED, cheap
Affordable price. Compared with other hotels, the rooms are divided into three levels. The second level is a suite, which can accommodate three adults. With breakfast, it costs about RMB 2,500 a night. The basic price for three people in other hotels is RMB 10,000 a night. However, compared with Bob Al Shams, it is indeed low-end because it feels much smaller and less rich. But considering the price, the cost performance is still full. The main focus is on affordability and it still has a sense of vacation
There is no upgrade this time. The suite I booked is very spacious, about 100 square meters, with one bedroom, two living rooms, two bathrooms, and two balconies facing the swimming pool. But the view is the worst, with a shower room blocking it
The hotel restaurant options are not many, but not too few. Staying for three days and two nights is enough for you to not repeat the choice. The Italian restaurant dinner has a strong sense of ceremony, with horses accompanying the meal. There are also many choices in the rooftop restaurant bar where you can watch the sunset
Semi-buffet breakfast, egg and toast ordering, and other buffets. There are freshly squeezed juices, which are good. There is no Chinese choice. Don't worry if you like bread and dairy products There are many choices. The hotel staff are very friendly and basically meet all your needs. There is a small horse farm at the entrance of the resort where you can go and take some photos for free.

The room environment is very desert-like, large and clean, and it really feels like an old resort.
The desert scenery is indeed average, but the back door of the resort is right outside the desert, and we saw a beautiful sunset, which was very atmospheric.
The most outstanding feature should be the swimming pool! The swimming pool is really much larger than other resort hotels.

A desert hotel with a very high cost performance ratio. It is not completely desert, but on the edge of the desert. The service is very good, the room is large, the swimming pool and hotel building are beautiful, and the breakfast selection is not much but exquisite and delicious. Recommended if you go to Abu Dhabi~

The hotel facilities are very complete, starting from the lobby, all the way back to the room, to the restaurant and swimming pool, all have a very desert style.
Dinner at the Italian restaurant is a great experience where you can feed the horses while eating.
The swimming pool is also very large, and it is highly recommended to stay and experience this hotel! ! !

Beautiful resort in traditional Emirati style located in the desert but on the border of Abu Dhabi. Beautiful rooms with all modern amenities and sheltered from the sun, ensuring coolness.
Very good restaurants, excellent service, and a magnificent pool.

The room is very good. It is the most cost-effective desert hotel closest to the city. Camel riding, sandboarding and desert motorcycles are all good. The hotel breakfast is very rich. The service is very timely and in place. It is the best choice for family travel

This is a place we will never forget after leaving, and I will keep sharing it with others. Quiet and comfortable, the room is very exotic, clean and tidy. The breakfast is delicious, especially the freshly baked croissants, which are delivered to the table on a wooden tray by a beautiful Lebanese girl. All the service staff are very nice, like family. You can see love in their eyes❤️
