Anantara Qasr al Sarab Desert Resort

It was an amazing experience for me and the family . The options of spa and other family activities was just perfect for a long weekend. Everyone made our stay a magical moment. Room service was great. Spa experience very relaxing and the camel and dune bashing was the perfect end to a wonderful family retreat.

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.

The hotel was really nice and quiet. The room was spacious and in good condition. The buffet was of good quality. The Italian restaurant wasn't very good, I would say it was below average. The manager of the hotel, Ms Munia, was particularly nice and professional.

Beautiful & luxury hotel, in the most amazing location to experience the desert. A 3h drive away from Dubai but worth the trip. A true cultural experience.

Peaceful desert resort. All Staff very friendly, helpful, and professional. edwina concierge was remarkable.
