Excellent experience and they did spoil us love it we will be going back again stuff were friendly room was amazing ..weather was nice,camel ride was good ...dinner in room was the best everything went more than expected thank you

A beautiful place for a relaxing stay in a desert location.
Gazelle roaming near the rooms. A memorable stay.

Very beautiful resort located in the middle of the desert. Breakfast is amazing and the interior design for the restaurant and all hotel amenities is elegant. The swimming pool is imaginary. You feel that you live in a remote oasis. You will enjoy every moment in this resort. Nice lakes with some birds and ducks. Gazelles are walking around and you can see alot in the resorst.

Sublime hotel in the middle of the desert, very warm and friendly welcome, lots of activities available, swimming pool, archery, table tennis, very nice rooms, recommended

The silence of Nature is very real.
It surrounds you......
You can feel it.!

Realy bad management I will never go back to this hotel

Amazing resort with amazing services and installations.
Very kind staff.
We spent the year s eve there and everything was great, the food was excellent.
We enjoyed a lot our time there, we wish come back some day.

No words to describe it .Truly a 5* resort. Nice atrocities to do there: camel,horse riding...heritage willage with lots of shops....archery etc.
They also have a spa-desertology spa that looks amazing (didnt trird the services)
I recomend villa if you decide to stay there.

We loved this place. Specially there was rain in the morning in the middle of the desert? Wow.. pretty Interesting.

Excellent resort in the middle of the desert. Great for a weekend stay with family and kids. Lots of activities to pick from as well.

Very bad stay & experience .... Very bad stay & experience

The staff at the hotel is very bad in handling and the responses are extremely rude
Inhospitable staff & unfriendly with pretty aggressive replies

Unspecified details of housing, residents, and family intimidation (3 families consisting of 5-6 members)
Room occupancy & details were not specified, room was reserved through a phone call (large group constinting of 3 families each with 5-6 members), were met with a ridiculous attitude

The lack of toilets in the reception after refusing to reserve and needing them with the prayer hall
No Water Closets or prayer room in the reception

Bad technique in the exit procedures and accusing the family of breakage and sabotage ... something very strange
Also bad check out experience with accusations of breaking the room ... really strange policy they have

Very bad experience .... very bad experience

If I could give a zero I would
If I could put a zero I would have chosen nor a star

We absolutely wanted to experience desert nights, so chose this resort. It is between Abu Dhabi and Al Ain and very easy to find (you need a car). First night, we spent in the Villa , which has great desert view, and offers privacy. All these rooms are one floor only and separated from each others - no noise from other guests. Nice outside area with plenty of seating, too. Going for dinner or lunch, you need to call reception, so they will arrange for pick-up (in the resort you may not drive your own car.) Food was satisfactory with a nice choice. Hotel pool not too big, but nicely done and with desert view, infinity style. with little palm-islands. you cannot really swim, but nice to cool down. Overall its a fabulous experience

It is a resort that is distributed over a large area.
It is located in the lobby building and has a spa, swimming pool and restaurant. The transfer is by car, and when you call, you can come to your room within 5 minutes and go anywhere you want.

You can see the desert in front of the pool and you can see the desert from all over the resort.

The swimming pool is located outside and in the center, and there are not many users, so you can relax.
It is said that the pick-up service from Dubai Airport is 600AED (advance reservation), and taxis or other services are available.

Like nothing to do at Maldives resorts
You can be peaceful here too
(You can enjoy darts, chess, table tennis, baby football, and more!)

The restaurant tastes good too

First of all, it was my unforgettable memory to live in desert resorts, the hotel service were excellent, I was so satisfied with their facilities. Moreover, as I lived in this hotel, there had a huge desert scenery in front of my room. Plus, they also provided for variety packages, I did not feel boring to stay this resort. In my personal opinion and experience that is why I recommend to stay in this desert resort.

Stayed there for one night as a birthday gift for my partner. From the moment we arrived we were treated exceptionally well by the staff. The pictures of this resort simply do not do it justice, the facilities, views and location are absolutely breathtaking. Only mistake that i made, was booking 1 night and not 2!! Thank you Telal for such an enjoyable and memorable experience.

Wonderful place, haven of peace.. very clean, incomparable experience, design and decoration are matching the spirit of desert, comfortable bed, good AC, large and independent villas allowing unique privacy, you feel yourself alone, no sounds except yhr sound wild birds, you see doe at your villa 's door, you take your bath with the desert view from your bathroom window.. food is very good and prices acceptable, you have local desert activitact, I can say more and more but the best is to visit it and spend 2 nights in this wonderful resort. definitely I will be back..

A one of a kind desert Oasis getaway.

Perfect for people who wants to stay in and enjoy being away from the city and also for people who wants to engage in desert based activities.

An oasis in the desert
Various activities were also prepared.
The reception and the rooms are separate and inconvenient to move should call the hotel car. It is gorgeous and can spend comfortably in the room.
The food was also delicious.

A 10-star hotel in short, another one I thought about in this hotel
I worked in it from the beauty of the place
The staff is treated with no grace and respect
And this hotel is not wrong

Great experience for 1-3 days. Immersion in Arabic atmosphere with themed activities including best one - zip line between dunes

This place could be nice if it had European management. We booked it because they offer activities like horseriding and safari and we prefere doing that exclusively and not like tourists. Even though the resort was nearly empty the safari was fully booked and we were not allowed to take photos with the horses. So many restrictions. They got some awards and maybe become a bit arrogant because of that. They should not be surprised that there are no guests. 5 stars means the guest should be the most important. Here you aren't. Its a nice resort but a waste of time to come here. At the Burj al Arab they email you in advance if you like to book something so they make sure you have everything.

Amazing place with great service, Great location and peaceful

Hotel very comfortable and very relaxing in the desert between Abu Dhabi and Al Ain. Heartwarming welcome. Room (villa) very comfortable and very invested staff. Very good breakfast. We stayed here for two nights and everything was perfect. Special mention at Katheleen (reception) in Palden (driver) and Taoufiq (restaurant). We will come back !

Wonderful Place in the middle of the desert. A luxury resort to live a unique experience. Staff is great, services and food too!

Absolutely lovely, loved being there, so relaxing great facilities and friendly and efficient staff cant wait to come back again..

This was a fantastic experience in a wonderful location, the scenery was outstanding.
The staff where friendly and very helpful throughout our stay
We loved the campfire and room service
The Dining Room design is superb with so many great design features

Heaven of UAE I LOVE TO GO THERE 6 TIME a year please go there you will love it

Amazing place to visit. Its really fantastic. I stayed in villa. I play with bikes and descover places . There are no fence you can do what you want n go any where . The service come at your doon in 1 min. Ill come back soon.

Very nice and quiet. Great view from the pool, only downside paid activities are mostly quite expensive

Great place you love it by instinct. It returns you back to the arabs way of live

Telal Resorts an amazing stay very comfortable beautiful atmosphere An excellent services very good variety of delicious food. Deers hunting and much more.

Overall the place was amazing; the whole staff was very attentive to my needs and questions. The front desk lady was superb in her duties as well as the front end manager. He always greeted me by name and was able to answer anything I asked. The drivers were always ready when I called for a ride and the room service was quick and efficient. I even asked for some more shampoo later in the evening and within minutes, housekeeping delivered. He even brought some more bottles the next day without me asking for any more. The only downside was the wait staff in the dining room. They were very attentive to the ladies as they arrived and (maybe since I was alone), I sat many times waiting for a refill or to make my order. Overall, I will come back as it was an amazing place.

It was excellent, the place, people very kind.
The only issue for us was there are lot of mosquitos

They cancel last minute without offering other options (book an other week-end with dicount, advise an other hotel...). Very disappointing, we were so happy to go! Not sure if it is a reliable place...

So much potential.. Only good customer service are reception

Very bad, very, very bad, and their management is the worst I dealt with, and hygiene is not acceptable compared to Emirates hotels.

Amazing experience and amazing service. Great escape option.

Real oasis in middle of desert.. unforgettable experience.. mazy villa where you enjoy real privacy, take you shower while looking at the desert from the large windows.. rooms faculty are complete.. everything is under your hands even Nespresso shots.. service is fast, staff are great and food is tasty... You have to pass through this wonderful place to enjoyed the infinity pool looking at the desert... I will go back to experience it again...

Unfortunately, any guest is allowed to use the flying camera and photograph anything he wants without taking the consent of the rest of the inmates, even though it is this thing that is against the laws of the state. And any service that you ask, whether in the room or in the restaurant, that you ask, takes a long time, even if you register for any activity, unfortunately, not committed to their appointments. Despite the beauty of the place, its flaws covered its privileges.

Really excellent stay, was good to be in the 'countryside' and out of the city for the weekend and sleep under canvas.

An excellent getaway destination, excellent hospitality ... a must visit

It's exceptional in every way possible. The scenery, the staff, the decor and the quality of the rooms. The restaurant food, especially the dessert, let's it down but the breakfast is an absolute must.

Great place for breakfast and lunch very resenable prices

Khayal Hotel gives them wellness, and this is 3 times. I live in the resort. Nature and beauty. Imagination. All thanks to the director Elie, Adel, Khaled and Mustafa. Thank you. Thank you. Resort deserves 7 stars.

Awesome experience in a superb desert resort. Everything was great.
Staff were professional and overcaring, especially Mr. Rami Al Mansour & Mrs. Muna.

Beautiful resort. Staff is friendly and helpful. Cars are not allowed to be driven to the rooms. Hotel will transport you between reception/public areas and rooms. Villas have fire pits. No alcohol license but you can byob.

The overall experience was amazing. It was quite, relaxing and joyful. few points though, the flies! the long time taken for the food to be served at the restaurant and I wish that by the time I booked by phone that the employee made me aware of all rooms options. I only noticed the villas in the way to our standard room. But overall the stay was pleasant, many thanks for that.

Location The top of the beauty is a desert heritage, far from the traffic of cities, most of the things available in the resort, complete calm and comfortable, easy access to the site.

absolutely nothing to complain about, will come back for sure

It is a very good Resort. It has very big and nice dunes. They have activities like archery, zip line, sand skating etc

I loved the place very much super good service and view very good for relaxation

Amazing place for escape from all the noise and hustle and bustle of the city.Beautiful nature,great decor and service.Worth the spend.

It is a very nice place and I recommend you visit it for an area of 88 km

A fantastic well deserving 5 star resort.
If you are in search of a concrete jungle, this might not be for you but if you are in search of a truly desert paradise, nothing comes close to Telal resort. Expect a truly desert resort architecture with an Arabian theme. In the night, lighting has been used effectively. Don't judge until you enter your room; you will be blown away. The staff are trully amazing and the food is great. We thought the price tag was too high until we experienced the service. Take a look around and venture onto the twilight area to have an arial view of the resort. The furniture is pure artistry. Get your camera out.
Worth every penny.I will be back.

Much as the place is superb,I was very much impressed by the staff and their customer service. The manager is very professional

A change of scenery, calm, clean, very competent and available staff.
Beautiful area
