Anantara Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort

Absolutely perfect, with superb service.

No downsides at all, apart from the long journey. It's definitely worth staying here. I recommend heading to the dunes behind the hotel for sunset 🌅. There are two pools, and one of them is an adults-only infinity pool. Adults are not allowed to bring floats or armbands into this pool, and it's quite deep, so non-swimmers should be careful.

This hotel is absolutely stunning, it exceeded all my expectations! Having seen countless sea views and beaches, staying at a desert resort felt even more breathtaking. Pictures truly don't do it justice. I highly recommend everyone visiting the UAE to stay here for at least two nights.

This was an excellent stay! There was a Chinese-speaking staff member at check-in, and the room was very comfortable. The food exceeded my expectations. If you want to book any activities, remember to do so at least one day in advance.

I recommend staying for two nights. There are many spots for photos and a lot of ambiance to soak in. It's a very authentic Arabian experience. Everything was perfect, except for the long journey to get there. For dining, I suggest the Italian restaurant by the pool.

Fantastic experience! A special thank you to Nitesh at reception for his patient and enthusiastic help throughout check-in and check-out. He also thoughtfully recommended some great restaurants in Abu Dhabi. Service was top-notch, and our desert trip was absolutely perfect!

A truly memorable stay! The unique desert landscape was breathtaking, and the hotel is right in the heart of the desert. The staff were very welcoming. My only minor critique is that the food wasn't quite to my liking as a Chinese person; it would be perfect if they had a Chinese restaurant.

Even if you don't book any hotel activities, just walking around the private desert surrounding the hotel is a unique experience. The rooms have an exotic vibe, and the view from the window feels like something out of a video game. It's definitely worth the four-hour drive to come here and experience this exotic charm; what you see with your own eyes is truly breathtaking!

From the moment I stepped into the hotel, I felt right at home. The staff were all incredibly warm and attentive. The scenery truly is breathtaking – it was definitely worth the two-hour drive to get here. We tried camel riding and a desert drive; the sunset view from atop a camel in the desert was absolutely stunning! The burgers and snacks at the poolside bar were delicious too.
