1. Parent-child families are reminded that children must be at least 10 years old before they can check in. 2. The hotel is in the desert, and some roads leading into the hotel are not convenient for small cars to drive in. Please confirm with the hotel in advance which location address to use so as to find the main entrance on the road. 3. All room types should include 3 meals, and it is recommended to book a room with 2 activities. Camel riding is recommended during the activity. It is not very hot from 18:15 in the afternoon. The journey takes 15 minutes. You can ride to the depths of the desert to rest. Champagne, water, soft drinks, nuts and fruits are provided, and then it takes another 15 minutes to ride back. For room types, you can refer to other pictures on Ctrip. The facilities are relatively new. The food and service are absolutely beyond expectations, and you can expect more from this hotel. Starting from breakfast, there are steaks and smoked salmon. I ordered lobster fried rice several times in the evening, which is enough for half a lobster; among steaks, fillet is recommended. Breakfast juice and coffee are free, and juice and beer for lunch and dinner will be charged separately. Free (sparkling) water is provided. Counting the private swimming pool, three meals and desert activities, the price-performance ratio is not bad. The most noteworthy thing is the hotel service, especially the restaurant service. All three meals can be ordered to the room. If you go to the restaurant, no matter how early or late you arrive, you will always be greeted with a smile. The service is very diligent, but not too enthusiastic to feel disturbed. It is said that you can order dishes 24 hours a day (I don’t know if there is an additional charge), and the included dinner will be delivered to the room at 10 o’clock. It is always worth going there, and the service is worthy of tipping.

The service provided by the staff in each department is very attentive and considerate. The three meals a day in the restaurant are delicious and the service is quite good. There are two activities per person per day, and the third person can add 1,190 dirhams to include dinner and activities.

Everything here is great. First: The facilities are clean and sanitary, and the cleaning is very diligent. Even if we stay for several days in a row, the bedding is changed every day. The room service staff carefully observed that we like to eat dates, so they gave us two the next day. Second: The activities are very interesting. Although horse riding is paid, it is very interesting. All other activities are great. Here I would like to praise Michael, the activity butler, who took us to various places and provided first-class service explanations and arrangements. Third: I would like to thank all the staff in the catering department. They really tried their best to serve us. We missed the breakfast time due to illness but it was not the lunch opening time. We went to the restaurant with a try-it-out mentality. We met the restaurant manager and told him that we were not feeling well and wanted to eat now. The restaurant arranged for the service staff to serve us watermelon juice (given at breakfast standard) and arranged for the chef to prepare the lunch menu for us. They also made white porridge for us. I have stayed in luxury hotels all over the world, but the service of this restaurant is the No. 1 I have ever seen. Fourth: The front desk staff and the golf cart driver are very good, especially a fat black man who took us to chase Oryx at night. Fifth: This is the best of the five hotels I stayed in during my trip to the UAE.

Very happy one day and one night, participated in desert activities, few people, the waiters are very enthusiastic, the bedding is very good. The environment is very natural. It is recommended that people who are afraid of insects do not come. There are some bees, but they do not sting. The hygiene is also very good, quiet, and no children come.

Stayed in the hotel for four days and three nights. Every hotel waiter was smiling and the experience of various activities was very good. The experience was excellent, giving children unlimited imagination and happiness! Spent three and a half days in the hotel, the food was 7.5 points, and the product was stable. The cleaning and service of the room were perfect, the hygiene in the room was very good, the bedding was very comfortable, and the air in the room was comfortable and refreshing. At first, I was worried that it would be boring to stay for two days, but I was very happy to stay for three days. I believe that I will come again if I have the chance! Goodbye, AI Maha!

The most anticipated hotel in Dubai is worth the trip. The hotel is located in a desert area 1 hour away from Dubai. The speed limit is 40km when entering the protected area. You need to continue to drive at a snail's pace for 8 kilometers. The road is relatively rugged and part of the road is covered with sand, so you need to drive carefully. From the moment you enter the hotel, you can feel the careful hardware decoration and software service. You only need to sit in the lounge area to check in, and the front desk staff will come to receive you. You can experience two activities for free if you stay for one night. Because the weather is too hot, you can choose sunset camel riding and sunrise eagle training. Lunch and dinner are mainly Western and large in quantity. The menu has Chinese. Although it is not very accurate, parents can make do with it. Both activities are unforgettable experiences. The only drawback is that there was a strong wind on the day of arrival. I felt the sandstorm-like wind in the hotel. It takes courage to enter and exit the room. The hotel said that the two rooms booked together did not know that it was an order, so they were not arranged in adjacent locations. They were separated by the world, which was a bit regrettable. The environment and view are invincible. You can often encounter small antelopes coming to forage. The service is also very thoughtful. The swimming pool will be cleaned in time upon request. The restaurant waiter is very nice. Since young children are not allowed to stay, the dining and overall environment are very quiet. Overall, it is a very memorable experience. If there is Chinese service in the future, it will be more friendly to the elderly. It is also impossible to tell that this hotel opened in 1999. The facilities are very well maintained, and the hotel staff are well-trained and friendly. It is worth checking in.

This is the most comfortable and worthwhile hotel I have ever stayed in Dubai. Dubai is probably a city in the Middle East, so the food culture is not in line with the appetite of Chinese people, and the Western food is also very average! But the Western restaurant in this hotel is very authentic and delicious. Although the price of the hotel is more than 10,000 per night, it includes three meals, and you can order breakfast at will. The quantity can really be said to be very rich, and the taste is delicious, so it is delicious and worth enjoying! It is recommended to send breakfast to the room, with the company of deer 🦌... A wonderful breakfast is very memorable. The only drawback is that time passes too fast, and I have to check out before I can enjoy it!

It's a high-end hotel owned by Marriott. We are two family members. The receptionist upgraded us to a suite. It was a big surprise and the service was really great. (Children are required to be over 10 years old, and the management is very strict. Friends who go there must pay attention) Includes three meals and two free activities. If possible, it would be better to stay for two nights. It is the only hotel in the Antelope Nature Reserve. When the meal arrives, the antelope birds will come and wait for food. They like to eat bread, which is very mild. Although the price is a bit high, it is still worth it for the unique experience. Choose 2 out of 6 activities, falconry and camel riding are the most interesting (falconry is conducted by a professional guide, and you can take a group photo at the end). The wildlife viewing car is also good. We drove to a lake. The water was so clear and there were small fish. ,interesting. Standard western food, the beef and prawns are very good. We ate our first dinner in the restaurant, but later we were too lazy to run and ordered food to be eaten in the house. It was delicious but I was not used to it. Master Kong’s instant noodles and pickled mustard were the best ones😋. Sand washing and spa are charged separately. The price of spa is quite reasonable, more than 500 dirhams for 60 minutes. A very good experience, feel the desert next to the sea, highly recommended.
