Anantara Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort

The hotel is beautiful. Visiting during the off-season was fantastic, as there were fewer crowds, making the overall experience much better. The kids absolutely loved both the sandboarding and dune bashing. The only minor downside was the camel riding location; it would have been much more enjoyable if we could have ridden up the hillside.

This desert resort, nestled deep in the heart of the desert and far from the city's hustle and bustle, felt like an overseas desert version of Tao Yuanming's 'Peach Blossom Spring' – a true oasis. To celebrate our child's first graduation season, we decided to temporarily step away from the relentless pace of life and found a moment of tranquility in this desert haven. The entire staff was incredibly warm, friendly, and attentive, always proactively responding to guests' needs. Our stay was simply fantastic. We booked a one-bedroom pool villa with breakfast and dinner included for three consecutive nights. We enjoyed three hotel activities: a Sunrise Camel Ride, Family Dune Bashing, and the Sunrise Falcon Show. The overall experience was superb. Since it was the low season in July, there weren't many guests, and my child and I even had the falcon show all to ourselves – it felt like a private viewing! Breakfast and dinner buffets were incredibly extensive, featuring delicious cuisine from all over the world. The dining ambiance and the quality of the food were both absolutely top-notch! And during the scorching summer heat, having our own private pool right in the villa was truly a blessing – it washed away all our fatigue and worries!

I was thoroughly impressed with everything, from the warm reception in the lobby to the prompt on-call buggy service. We even received a complimentary room upgrade. You absolutely *must* order from the breakfast menu – that's where you'll find all the delicious gems! Waking up to the breathtaking, endless sand dunes was incredibly refreshing and inspiring. And for someone as particular about cleanliness as I am, the gym was spotless! Hands down, the most satisfying hotel I've ever stayed at.

It was an absolutely wonderful experience. The hotel is stunning, especially the path leading up to the entrance – it's incredibly beautiful and very photogenic. Sunrises and sunsets are also fantastic for photos. The breakfast, in particular, was not only delicious but also beautifully presented. Overall, I highly recommend it!

Superb room! It was incredibly spacious, with a huge bed, a large bathtub, and a generously-sized balcony. Definitely opt for a room with a balcony. Sitting out there in the evening, feeling the gentle breeze, was incredibly relaxing, with stunning views of the distant sand dunes and a sky full of twinkling stars. This was by far my favorite hotel.
