There are no words that can describe this absolutely beautiful resort set in the middle of the Liwa Desert. A perfect oasis of calm and tranquillity. The staff can't do enough to keep you comfortable and go out of their way. A picture perfect resort. We are staying here for a week, hence can make the most of doing all the desert activities as well as enjoy relaxing by the beautiful poolside.

The reason why I have given it a 4* is due to the lack of vegetarian food. Both my husband and I are vegetarian and we find that we are struggling to find good vegetarian food as each restaurant only has 2 or 3 options to choose from. The evening buffet is over priced for vegetarians when there are only a few options where as meat eaters have a lot more variety and pay the same price as a vegetarian. We have mentioned this to the reception staff a few times and there option was to order from the in room dining menu. We haven't come on holiday to this beautiful resort to eat in our room!! I feel the chef could arrange to make a couple of dishes for us off the menu as we are here for a whole week and exhausted all the vegetarian options in all the restaurants. We booked this holiday a few months back and mentioned that we are vegetarians whilst booking and if the chefs could accommodate our request.

We had read previous reviews and taken into account there was a lot of bad press regarding the food scene, being overpriced for what you get and vegetarians struggling. However, we thought since the hotel has read and apologised for its service on previous reviews they would have improved their dining experience. It looks like they are not taking their reviews seriously!

Overall we are having a wonderful time and feel totally relaxed and am sure will be ready to face the real world when we leave. However going on a luxurious holiday is enjoying the culinary experience as well as the ambience of the resort, and unfortunately this time round we have not been able to enjoy this.
