chocolate truffles desert view
The hotel provided fresh fruits, chocolate truffles and bottled water in my room. Breakfast included a huge variety of western and Middle Eastern food. That was helpful. The pool area is large. It has several options for adults and children, which I noticed. The view of the desert and sunset from the pool was lovely.
The hotel is distant from the city center, something to note.

i found the check in process very efficient. i received a welcome drink upon arrival which was refreshing. the whatsapp concierge service was very useful and responsive. i booked a desert safari directly through the hotel and it was an lovely experience. the guides were knowledgeable and professional and it highlighted the stay.
