Staff were fantastic and so welcoming, dining options brilliant, a true oasis in the desert, wonderful for celebrating special occasions - we chose this beautiful location to celebrate a birthday and to propose. We are excited to already book our next stay because of how special we were made to feel and celebrated.

Litter was evident in various places and seemingly ignored by staff - we ended up picking some of this up ourselves after it was walked past by multiple members of staff. Additional bins around the site would help to reduce this.

The location is beyond stunning. We also loved our room, so much space, especially in the bathroom. The grounds are lovely and very serene. The infinity pool for adults made you forget where you were...stunning! Breakfast offered was also wonderful.

It was a great way to celebrate our anniversary, a little compliment from the hotel was waiting for us already when we checked in. The beauty of the dunes is astonishing, I was totally mesmerized. The bathroom was so beautiful and spacious, and everything was very tidy. The food in the steak house was also 10/10.

We had trouble booking a table in the restaurants. There are three, however, on our very first day, after the long trip, we had to eat in the room because there were simply no tables available for dinner. It was Friday before the long holiday, a very popular time, and I understand that. However, the hotel of such level could be a bit more considerate of all the guests (or add more tables to accommodate?)

I liked that is was truly in the desert and remote which made the experience magical. What made it special was the staff. I lost my mobile phone during a dune buggy ride and when I thought all was lost, dune guide Tabish and security Bisal went into the desert the next morning and found it! It was a miracle! Thank you so much for your dedication and care shown to your guests.

Nothing. It was perfect! Should have asked for a room further away from the main building as we could smell and hear sounds from the kitchen on our terrace.

One of the most beautiful and unique hotels my family and I have ever visited, everything was exceptionally perfect at this beautiful place in the middle of the desert, the food, property, staff friendliness, hotel room and everything else. There is absolutely nothing negative to mention. As mentioned before all the staff was great but some names stuck with me, first there are the guys at the pool bar, Amila & Krishnan who were super friendly and very attentive. Then there was Kishor and Rajneesh from the Mediterranean restaurant near the pool, who were also very great in service and very helpful. Then there was Dulan at the Suhail steak restaurant who was the waiter who served my family and me for dinner, he was a 10/10, as working in the hospitality and F&B sector myself I know what to expect and pay attention to when visiting such a high class restaurant and without exception he fulfilled all the criteria, his professionalism, friendliness, attentiveness as well as knowledge about the food and place was just incredible, I can see him being a great F&B Manager at some point in his career. Thank you again to all the people at Anantara Qasr al Sarab Desert Resort for providing such an unforgettable experience!

The staff were exceptionally friendly, helpful, efficient and attentive. They go above and beyond to make your stay a comfortable as possible. The location is breathtaking, with plenty of activities available if you want to get out into the dunes. The room was spacious and comfortable with room service arriving in a timely manner. The attention to detail was fabulous, like putting toiletries and shoes on little mats/ towels to keep it all tidy. Beautiful bed linen with a medium firm mattress and plenty of pillows. Walking through the grounds of the hotel was a pleasure, with every turn a treat for the eyes and whizzing around on the golf buggies was great fun to get between the pool, spa and various restaurants. Breakfast was plentiful, varied and delicious with lots of fresh fruit, salads, cold meats and cheese options alongside the extensive breads, pastries, cereals, egg station etc. There were different daily local Asian, Indian and Arabic dishes to choose from, which was a wonderful opportunity to try new flavours. The newly opened infinity pool is adults only, with a stunning outlook and this was just beside one of the best equipped hotel gyms I've ever used. The gym staff were super helpful and the pool attendants friendly and available. Lovely little touches abounded within the hotel. The pool has extra suncream if you'd forgotten some, glasses cleaning solution, ice lollies and cold face towel were offered around at the hottest part of the day. The spa had herbal welcome and post-treatment teas served with dates which could be taken on the terrace to watch the sunset. The list goes on.... Many thanks to all the staff and management for their attention to detail and customer services. I very much hope to return in the near future.

There are only three restaurants in the evening with the fine dining steak restaurant and traditional Arabic taster menu restaurant often fully booked. Leaving only one casual restaurant by the pool. The room service menu is extensive, but we didn't choose to dine in the room so i can't comment. A very minor point - The crockery and food presentation at times was a little too 'rustic' for such a top quality hotel.

the location of the hotel is amazing. it's heaven on earth. a fascinating location among the dunes. we drove three hours from dubai and it was worth it. I recommend it to everyone. a memory forever. the staff is excellent. breakfast is divine. too many choices. Pool is great.

prices for activities are too high. not enough activities for children, because the hotel is quite family-oriented. the kids club has activities, but they are classic as in other hotels. I mean more activities in the desert, which is like the biggest sandbox for children

Wow! Thus has to be on the most exceptional hotels in the world. From the moment of arriving at the gateway to the estate and the impressive drive along the road through the sandunes, everything was magical about this place. From checking in onwards, we have never been treated so special. Absolutely everyone made the experience amazing. A stunning room, balcony, restaurants, infinity pool and trips into the desert. All were amazing. This is one hotel we shall never forget. There is surely nowhere like it.

Breakfast was excellent and Chef D is the guy who is amazing. He is great with his work in pastries, etc. I liked the spa and particulary the Moroccan hammam. The resort was amazing, the property, the pool, the walks, the desert activities. Fantastic place and I highly recommend it. Would go back again in a heart beat.!

There were some issues I faced for 2 days regarding the spa and lack of responsiveness and care from the teams but their customer service was top notch. 2 amazing guys to fix the problem and also were sincere and truly apologised for all things that went wrong on their end.
