Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort Review:
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Hey there! Our stay at Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort was nothing short of magical!
📍Location: Imagine waking up to the soft hues of the desert sunrise—the resort’s location is like a dream. It’s serene, secluded, and perfect for a peaceful vacation.
🛏️ Comfort: The rooms were like cozy oases in the vast desert. We sank into plush beds after adventurous days, feeling pampered and relaxed.
🛎️ Service: The staff? Oh, they’re the real gems! Their warm smiles and attentive service made us feel like VIPs. From check-in to dining recommendations, they nailed it.

I was initially uncertain about leaving a review, but I feel it’s important to share my experience. Our stay at Qasr Al Sarab began very well with an excellent location, great service, and delicious food. However, we encountered some issues with construction noise during our visit. The noise was quite disruptive and impacted our ability to relax and enjoy our time together.
It would have been helpful to have been informed about the construction in advance so we could have planned accordingly. Additionally, scheduling construction work outside of breakfast hours, which are from 8 to 11 a.m., might enhance the overall guest experience.
We spoke with the management about our concerns, and while they offered a room upgrade, it would not have resolved the issue of the noise. We appreciate their efforts, but we hope these points can be considered for future guests to improve their experience.

Has Pool with Pool Bar access
Loved the destination, especially the entrance till the resort (reach at evening for best views) This place is full 100 on winters.
Beautiful Dune Views 😍😍
There is Al Ghadeer Restaurant by the Pool, food was okay to be honest.
Sharing some pictures.

I stayed at this hotel recently and, overall, I was a bit disappointed. The hotel and location are great, but there were too many issues to consider it a true 5-star experience.
Positives:
- The location is amazing, and the view from the room was great
- The rooms are spacious, with fantastic bathrooms
- Room service was very good—fast and respectful of our routines
- The pools are nice, and the spa and wellness center is ok
- Breakfast was also quite nice
Negatives:
- The checkout process was painfully slow
- There was no information about ongoing construction, leaving everyone confused about how to navigate the resort
- Loud construction noises at the pool, including hammers and drills, made it difficult to relax
- Service was slow; I had to ask and follow up repeatedly to get things done
- The fine dining restaurant, Suhail, served old, spoiled lobster that smelled like ammonia—a huge letdown
In summary, the resort has amazing location and some nice features, buy the negatives really impacted my stay. It's difficult to see this as a 5-star resort with so many things going wrong.

Here is my review about our 2 nights at Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort by Anantara where my fiancé and I celebrated our anniversary.
First of all, I would like to thank the Hotel manager Jean-Paul Dantil! He ensured that this stay was one of the best hotel/resort experiences that we've had so far.
The staff at the resort went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. From the front desk staff (Islam - I hope I remember his name correct) and duty manager (Rahul) who greeted us warmly and made us feel home right away. We felt like VIPs the entire time. Everyone went the extra mile to make our anniversary so special.
We stayed in one of the resort's villas and felt like we had our own private oasis. The villa was spacious and beautifully decorated with a desert chic aesthetic. The king bed was incredibly comfortable and we loved having our own private plunge pool. This place is a place where you put your daily stress aside and just enjoy the moment.
The food, especially the breakfast, was an absolute highlight. You get such a variety of different dishes. And what I liked most, were the healthy food option like matcha overnight oats and fresh pressed juices!!
I highly recommend this place!!
