This was an amazing property with very attentive staff. I would especially like to recognize Sayeem for taking care of us by the pool. The resort itself is so clean and beautiful. It was a very unique experience. My only issue was the cost of the food, water and coffee. The food and drinks are very expensive and you don't have any other options given the hotel's remote location.

Sandzhar

Wonderful staycation in the desert
We had a wonderful stay. The hotel shares a similar aesthetic and atmosphere with Al Wathba in Abu Dhabi, but with a cozier feel and modern touches that we really enjoyed. The service was impeccable. While the food didn't quite reach the heights of some luxury hotels we've experienced, it wasn't a major drawback, and the overall experience was fantastic.
