Amazing stay

I had a wonderful stay at Anantara. The staff were friendly and provided great service throughout my visit. The food was tasty with a good variety of options to choose from. The pool area, complete with sunbeds and cabanas, was a nice place to relax. The pool bar offered a decent selection and a pleasant atmosphere. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, perfect for recharging after a day of exploration. One of the highlights was the stunning nature surrounding the hotel, featuring beautiful dunes and occasional gazelles and camels. Thank you, Anantara, for an unforgettable and magical stay - I will definitely be back!

Awesome get away in the empty quarter

Awesome little staycation, the location is wonderful in the middle of the desert, like an oasis just with all the luxury amenities you can imagine. Our trip was made special by our hosts in the hotel: Fabiana made our welcome special by her friendly and personal openness and effort to ensure all wishes are addressed, Erik as restaurant manager of Suhail was personally looking after us and ensuring together with Ali that our evening was unforgettable. Nazir looked after us on our Camel ride in the desert (awesome to climb the high dunes on the back of a Camel) and also acted as our professional camera man, volunteering to capture the moments for us. Thank you for an unforgettable staycation. Will be back!

This property is truly unique. I don't think I have ever stayed in a 5 star hotel with such exceptional service from every single member of staff. Truly outstanding. Farhan my "butler" was incredibly responsive and attentive to requests to make dinner, spa and activity reservations and the dune bashing with Saleem was just an incredible experience. I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough. The pool area and swim up bar is amazing, I didn't want to leave and 4 nights felt like I'd been there for over a week. So relaxing. If I was being very (very) picky, and as a point of feedback for improvement, I'd say the food was pretty good (but not amazing) for a 5 star property - particularly in the Suhail restaurant which is very expensive. Nothing bad, just room for improvement in terms of the quality. The gym facility is also awesome, as is the spa. An amazingly good massage. Just what was needed after a long flight. thank you to all - I hope to be back!

Exceptional Experience

This was our second stay at Qasr Al Sarab and we upgraded from a garden deluxe to a one bed villa with a pool. Everything in the villa was outstanding, space, facilities, finishings. You will certainly not be disappointed. Due to the heat, the breakfast was delivered to the room and you could order as much as you like, we literally did not leave our villa the whole time we stayed. Anything we required more of was delivered to us very promptly and all staff were super friendly and professional at all times. Olga took special care of us as it was our anniversary and we were repeat customers. Thank you Olga and your team. We look forward to another visit soon. Tayyba and Tariq

Gorgeous place, gorgeous hotel. Management should be on top of few things though. There were some deficiencies in the service that reflects poor oversight: 1. Room was not very clear. Hair on floor and in sink. 2. After the room was serviced; toiletry (shampoo, etc.. ) were not refilled and placed back in an orderly way; they kept them the way we left them. 3. Only one capsule of caffeinated coffee for a room of 2 and one decaf. 4. Toiletry (cream, shampoo etc..) were not of expected quality; the ones used in their gym/spa are much better than the ones in the room. 5. They say they have a soap menu; but we had to order the soap. But otherwise an amazing place; surreal. Should be on every tourist's short list of things to do.

Rude and inconsiderate management.

The property is beautiful. Communication with Management before and on arrival at the hotel was extremely disappointing. Guest relations manager Edwina was rude and condescending. We booked a suite and were informed before hand that it sleeps 3 adults. There was 1 king bed (for 2 adults) and 1 fold away children's metal spring bed for the 3rd adult. This was unacceptable and management were not willing to change in any way shape or form at the hotel because we had booked through hotel.com and not directly with them. Instead the Manager Raphaelo asked me to check-in to another room for 2 nights at an additional expense. I was not willing to do this as the website states the suite sleeps 3 adults and therefore as the hotel did not have the facilities for this, the management tried to pressure me into paying for another room or sleep on the child's foldable bed which was extremely uncomfortable and painful for the back for 2 nights.

This is an amazing place! The customer service is the best part of this hotel! Check in was delightful thought it took a while. We were given stuffed camels and a date drink. To get back and forth around the property, you can call for carts which are quick to pick up. Room was beautiful, clean, and comfy. Food was decent--maybe a tad overpriced, but considering they have to haul everything to the desert, it makes sense. The buffet breakfast was amazing and my favorite part. Also, beautiful views! The pool area workers were okay, but again, everywhere else was fantastic.

An absolute must!

This is a beautiful hotel in absolutely stunning surroundings. It's quite expensive to stay but definitely worth the cost of a weekend break to just experience being out in the desert. You must go climb the sand dunes, especially at sunrise when it's still quite cool. The hotel is gorgeous, spotlessly clean and comfortable, the staff are all lovely, the food and service is excellent but the beer is expensive! At 42 dhs (£8.50) for a bottle of beer, we didn't have many! There were only a couple of food options (the buffet was closed) but we ate at Ghadeer, the Mediterranean restaurant, and for 2 steaks and 2 beers it was 514 aed (£103). I have to say that the steaks were excellent but they do have some cheaper pasta options too. The pool is lovely and the attendants were round constantly with fruit smoothies, water and cucumber for our eyes. The room upgrade and gorgeous cake for my birthday helped make it a perfect weekend break.

One of the best resorts I’ve ever visited.

The service was some of the best I’ve ever experienced! We’re not ones to demand many extras, but when we did ask for something it was a prompt YES and exceeded what we requested. But then the king of UAE has a villa here so what do you expect. All four adults said we’ve never realized the desert could be so beautiful. We had great food. The room was impressive. Each day at the pool our Sunshine Butler came around to clean our sunglasses, hand out cool washcloths, and give us cucumbers for our eyes. When he realized after the first day we preferred to be in the shade, he would come around and adjust our umbrella, without being asked, throughout the day.

Lovely hotel in the middle of the desert, a place to relax and enjoy different experiences. The hotel staff are frieny and helpful and the rooms are so comfortable it's a shame we couldn't stay longer.

It was a increadible experience, a unique hotel, in the middlw of desert. Me and my family just loved. The only thing is that temperature get very high in the middle of the year, so in case you do not want to burn, should avoid june, july, august and september.

Desert Hotel

Unique location in a stunning desert setting. Very helpful friendly staff. Only disappointing element was the food which was a bit underwhelming.

Fantastic Stay

The resort is fantastic - top-notch service, accommodations, activities, food, amenities, etc. I highly recommend staying here to anyone travelling in the UAE. I would particularly suggest the spa, dining at Al Falaj, and a sunset camel ride!

Mirage or Miracle

200 km south of Abu Dhabi, deep in the desert and close to the border with Saudi Arabia stands a miracle of hotel design. This is a special place, and offers a unique experience. The quality of food and service is outstanding and no expense has been spared on providing the best in Arab hospitality.

Fabulous desert trip to Qasr al Sarab

Fabulously dreamy spot and the resort just blends in to the stunning surroundings. My husband had not brought his passport along from Abu Dhabi so we had a rough arrival....thought we might not be able to stay! When booking the hotel sinwhere it should say clearly this requirement. But after sorting it out things went very well. The falcon show that eve was fun and the sunrise camel ride spectacular. BBQ at the desert restaurant outdoors delicious! And the pool side lounging also wonderful. Very attentive staff-mostly Pakistanisworking hard at their jobs.

Perfect desert escape

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Qasr Al Sarab. In particular, we found the resort facilities impeccable; the experiences offered fantastic; and the staff welcoming and friendly. A highlight for us was the Liwa Tour, during which our guide, Shalika, was extremely knowledgeable of the local area, and went above and beyond to provide us with a unique experience. We also really appreciated Marisan’s bubbly and friendly character during our sunset camel trek – she made the experience really fun and took some great photos for us! We also really enjoyed our dining experience Bedouin style which allowed us to immerse ourselves in traditional Arabic culture. However, we found all the resort’s restaurants and waiters to be of a very high standard. The poolside refreshment and sunshine butler services were also fantastic – they paid just the right amount of attention and approached us at appropriate intervals and were always friendly. Overall, we both left Qasr Al Sarab feeling like it was the perfect combination of luxury and authenticity. We will definitely return for another visit, and could not recommend the experience more highly to friends and family.

Absolutely AMAZING hotel!!

We have stayed at many hotels across the world, but Qasr al Sarab simply beats them all hands down. The hotel ground are immaculate in cleanliness, layout and sheer beauty. The staff are absolutely fantastic - they go above and beyond in every way possible. The food is the quality of a three Michelin star restaurant. I simply can not find a single thing negative to say about this Hotel!!
