5.0 star ratingThe courteous friendliness of the staff, quality of the food and the Arabic architecture all help to make this complex very special. I try to make the time to visit each time that I am in DubaiOldFella01 June 2013
4.0 star ratingFood Very good.Pool had mould in it. I have stayed here before and was diappointed with the service this time waiting 40 minutes for a cup of coffeee and then on checkout the bill was wrong and I was overcharged.Francine17 June 2013
4.5 star ratingVery well run and exudes quality. The door entry key cards our room worked every time no issues (we have had many hotels that seem to have trouble with this). The in room complementary Wifi is excellent - strong signal all the time - no issues. Plenty of staff, always available to assist. Pool side loungers have thick padding -very comfy ! The towels provided are super large and thick. The resort looks very authentically Arabian, being situated in the desert, its layout has many nooks and cranies - all provided with cushions to sit and relax in a quiet corner while enjoying the shade. Highly recommended.The food prices are very expensive. This can be remedied by selecting cheaper options on the menu; however, frequently a pay one price at the door - buffet arrangement is in place at prices like £40 a head. My family are quite small eaters and would barely eat £10 worth of food. Think of how that applies when in one restaurant they are asking for £80 a head. £30 of food consumed = £240 paid !Anonymous 09 November 2015

4.5 star ratingEvery part of the building like a postcardSwimming pool water quality was so bad, since a lot of people using sun bath oil and then go into the swimming pool, you can imagine the oily swimming poolSammy30 March 2016
