Anantara Qasr Al Sarab Resort & Spa and Anantara Deserts Islands Resort & Spa Reviews

Literally, an oasis in the desert. No wonder Qasr Al Sarab won the Most Instagramable Hotel in the World. Beautiful and breathtaking views all around

An absolute desert oasis with breathtaking views of the sand dunes.

Wonderfully set in the rub- al khali desert with breathtaking views over the dunes. The hotel itself reminds on a traditional arab village with many private secluded areas.
Breakfast buffet is excellent; staff is really nice and hotel gym is very- well equipped. I would highly recommend staying here.
If you dare, try the dune- bashing experience for sunset.

Unfortunately they did not welcome and expelled us from outer gate even though we had a serious condition. Unprecedented.

The hotel was 1001 nights pure.
A beautiful hotel, the architecture, the decoration, the service and the food, for example. Poolside restaurant simply top notch, and breakfast selection.
Incredible impressions even on the Jeep Desert Tour, can not be put into words and even the photos can barely capture it.
We will be back definitely!!!

Excellent. Highly recommend for a weekend from Abu Dhabi. Beautiful location and hotel

I have not seen a place like this
Is classic and the environment is out of the world

No 1 desert resort in the world. Good atmosphere and hospitality services provided.

Friendly, helpful staff. Dawn camel trek a delightful experience.

Super cool place in the middle of dessert. Activities are all limited to what hotel can provide. There is absolutely nothing else, except this resort on that area. Perhaps good for couples for a weekend getaway.

Wedding Anniversary AL QASR AL SARAB DESERT RESORT HOTEL

Great location in the middle of the Arabian desert. Perfect place for relaxing and stay away from city life. Good view for sunset.

Fantastic hotel in a fantastic location. Really worth seeing. I would recommend it to anyone to stay here!

The best location to experience the feeling of the desert. The resort has a great design with a historical theme and very well qualified staff on making you a unique experience and timeless memories. Definitely, I love this place and I will return back to this paradise.

We visited Qasr Al Sarab for our first wedding anniversary and it was a wonderful experience. All the staff in the hotel are very polite and welcoming. The desert drive with Mr.Taj was excellent. He is probably one of the most professional desert drivers we have ever met. Mr.Jitendra took care of our Dine by Design experience and he was superb with regards to keeping us happy. All in all a five star experience

Wow place in the heart of Liwa sand dunes, like no other.

Extremely kind staff, exceptional place in the middle of the desert, a rare place to relax! A dream !

Thank you, your resort much enjoyed by my Grand mother

What an experience! Magical and surreal! The resort service is friendly and professional.
The Italian restaurant was OK for food. Great for a break from the hustle and bustle!

The hotel was nice but everything was so far only visit in winter!

Amazing place that offers an awesome experience of being in the desert surrounded by nothing but sand dunes and quietness and tranquility!!!

Not enough way finding signage .... U get lost in dessert

It's the best Desert resort in the Emptyquter area of Abu Dhabi

Great concept & location but wasn't impressed with the food there... Also some of the staff & service were not as expected from such establishment

We went there for a weekend getaway. The drive there is already an adventure and the hotel is truly amazing!!

Very nice palace hotel and swiming pool i like very much this place

This is a magical place of peace and serenity. A must if coming to Dubai but never in the summer, oh no.

Fantastic resort in the middle of the desert , went here for a lunch . Welcoming staff and a lot of amenities

Exceptional setting, top swimming pool and the restaurant's cuisine is delicious.

It's real oasis in the middle of the desert. Amazing place with great views... Great service and very friendly staff. Great activities... Deserve more than 5 ..

The magnificence of the sandstone mountains mixed colors and like mountains of gold Scenic view Recommended place for the bride Hospitality team Excellent and pleasant stay

An exceptional hotel providing a five star desert retreat, but with 5 star prices too (not cheap). The quality and service is sublime. If you can afford it then it's quite an experience.

Brilliant road to reach there. The location is unique and the hotel beautiful. The staff however lacked training (especially the porters/valet, which are the first staff you actually meet on arrival). They didn't give a very good impression of the hotel. Scenery is magic.

Great experience, location is amazing and fabulous sand duns around , room were great with the Turkish bath in the washroom and the artistic old design of the house. The service is great and the staff were very friendly especially Mr. Omar who was very helpful. The prices were moderate as the level of the service you get. The food is great, they offer fresh camel milk on the breakfast :)

I stayed here for a few nights and the experience was one of the best of my life! The surroundings are so immense and breathtaking that I was left speechless. The customer service was always at a high standard! I had a Moroccan Hammam by Indi that left me feeling like I was in a new body and I couldn t stop laughing while enjoying the activities with guide Amro! Memories I ll treasure!

Stunning hotel with friendly staff and amazing service, right in the middle of the breathtaking desert!

It's Amazing construct..The best place for relaxing with Family

One of the beautiful desert resort!!!! Amazing sunset!!! Good food and professional staff!!!!

Amazing luxurious desert staying experience! The hotel is located in the Middle of the Rub al Khali desert (empty quarter) 3 hrs away From Dubai. All you see around is Sand! dunes up to 200meters high. We went mid April and the weather was warm but dry. Hotel is quite expensive but the service was very good and the restaurant were good as well. Great experience!

This is probably the most spectacular hotel I ever stayed in. We went based on a recommendation of a friend who shares this view. We saw many pictures before we went but in reality it is even more spectacular. A word of caution: This place is in the middle of the desert and food supply is difficult, so don't expect too much of the food. We had an average experience at Ghadeer restaurant (at the pool side) but a great experience at the buffet restaurant (Al waha). The buffet restaurant has themed nights that change frequently. We came for butchers night and the steak was great!

Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort pride of Abu Dhabi.My visit was for training only,for new cab drivers who arrived from direct from their country as cab drivers.when this drivers visiting this kind of places,inspiring them self to do duty in quality and deliver high standard customer services.

Excellent by all means, great location, services and staff. Many activities are provided to ensure that your time spent is of a great quality.
I had a great time in the hotel and for sure it won t be the last stay.

Highly recommended.

Being a guest again after 4 years, experience and service remain unchanged. A truly must when visiting UAE.

Staff kept pointing at me laughing, calling me bald BOI.
10/10 would get bullied there again.

Amazing place and great view for stay a night or share a meal in the desert.

Superb place to visit. Amazing staff ... Middle of the desert, well recommended to visit during winter.

A magnificent place and an exceptional hotel. Everything was perfect during our stay.
The site transports you away from your daily life and allows you to completely relax.
I highly recommend this experience to the emirates.

While on a recent business trip to Dubai, I could find a day when I was free to relax and unwind. I had been looking for something which is truly Arab, unlike Dubai, which is more of a ultra cosmo city with no cultural linkage.
On doing lot of online search settled for Qasar Al Sarab Desert Resort, Abu Dhabi. While making the booking I had no idea, that it is almost 320 Kms from Dubai city but at the time of transfer I realized that the transfer from Dubai city is costly. I chose a metered taxi in place of Hotel transfer. Meter Taxi costed me AED 550 (from Dubai) while the hotel transfer would have costed me AED 1150 (on a limo). Qasar Al Sarab is located 12 Kms inside the Liwa desert from the city of Hameem. Almost half of the drive is on the E11 expressway from Dubai to Abu Dhabi and from there on E65, so it is comfortable but it takes 3 hours to reach Hameem and about 15 minutes from there to the resort on a isolated Desert Road. Desert road is really beautiful, the black tarred serpentine unwinding itself on the golden pink desert dunes and tops. In case you are lucky you can spot Oryx, which we did (not one but two).
It was extra ordinarily pleasant on the day of our journey with occasional drizzling of rains and throughout cloudy. Once inside the resort the ordeal of the long journey vanished. We were spell struck with the beauty of the Palace and its surrounding. The resort is built like an Arab Palace with water bodies, Palm & Date trees. The check in was, in the hotel lobby and smooth, we were greeted by the front desk executive and escorted to the lobby where we were offered perfumed cold towels and camel milk & dates smoothy, We were allotted single bedroom pool villa, to which we were booked. The resort is spread in acres and guests are transferred in a golf cart/ buggy from the hotel reception to their room and for any transfer across the resorts, the guests need to call for buggy or take a long walk through myriad of corridors, bordered with beautiful bougainvillea and mogra plants. On way to our villa, Mr, Bakhtiar, our Butler introduced us to various facilities across the resort, which included a pool, spa, fitness centre, different restaurants, souvenir shop, helipad etc. etc.
The Villa are huge and have King Size bedroom, with luxurious 20 inch mattresses, a huge living room, complimentary fruit basket and box of Arab Sweets, unlimited supply of drinking water and complimentary bottles of Evian Mineral Water. There is an indoor shower, bath tub, separate WC, separate dressing area, Wash basins, outside pool and outside shower. There is a separate living room with 42 inch LCD, DVD player, complimentary WiFi, bureau, mini bar, pantry, nespresso machine and all the things which are required. In case, anything is missing a call to your private butler would do.
As are the interiors of the resort stunning, so are the exterior impressive. All outside views are directed towards the endless sand dunes of different shapes, size and color. Each time of the day brings out a different hue. I could have never imagined that desert can be so beautiful and fascinating.
The breakfast was equally lavish in Al Waha dining hall.
The sleep quality was excellent, one of the best experienced in recent times.
The staff in resort is very friendly and always willing to help
Few negatives: There are limited options fro vegetarians. Indian travelers fond of Indian food only would be disappointed, the touch panel for electricity are confusing and sometimes do not react to the touch,

Wow what a place we loved and want to come back as soon as possible, well done Team Qasr al Sarab

This is a remarkable experience!! One of my top 3!!
