All dreams has been exceeded. A super stay, even if a little too short. The atmosphere is phenomenal. Here you find the rest and relaxation. - Clear-no Ballmermann! Was also not booked. But the ideal environment to take a break from everyday life. After waking up in the morning - directly in the private pool before the bedroom. The attention of the staff is hard to beat. read more

Light and shadows

If you this hotel when looked at more closely you will find light and shade. We only once to the light, the location is very good, the food a dream ( no matter wether at saffron or Al Waha restaurant) and the hotel is in good condition. The offered activities have a not insignificant price, recommendable nonetheless are in any case the nature & bird watching walk, the Falconry show and a trip with the mountain bike in the surroundings. Unfortunately there are also plenty of shade, the normal Villas have only a very limited number of hours of sunshine ..., the on the balcony at the pool ( unfortunately otherwise no other bath possibility except in 35 minutes away beachclub) can be used, in our case ( March) CIRCA 3a 4 hours in the afternoon ( from 14 o'clock), the pool in 9 days of the stay 2 time cleaned (1 times to call ), the area the villa is very stark (lack of planting), very much garbage was located in some hidden corners (behind the villas) and the crowning was, the the room too many only at 16 o'clock was cleaned. Only after a two-time complaint at the front desk, changes this circumstance as you in a home of this nature may require ( cleaning before 12 hours ). Unfortunately we traveled after our last Desert hotel (Abu Dhabi-qasr Al sarab dessert Resort by anantara) with high expectations on, these were unfortunately not met. In this hotel must in my opinion still some change a standard the banyan tree group to fulfill. read more

We had a tent villa with private pool. Everything is great and nothing to complain about. Breakfast sensational. For dinner are two restaurants available. The Asian -restaurant is good, but nothing special. The main restaurant offers some evenings buffet on high level, which was very good. Apart from that the menu is rather small, the quality of the dishes but very good. The bar on the roof with vision is sunset recommendable... Trashier is not more. read more

If you get the right room bay is the relaxing Wüstensause anything in the way, but that there were unfortunately not many and only in the most expensive category! The Al Rimal category reminds from the outside at Reihenhausidylle, with private pool, but unfortunately a little privacy and almost without south, which in the winter urgently is necessary! Large parts of the area the main generator played what the Natureindruck but sensitive mind, against the few planes per day hardly any derogatory-only the rooms in the South the plant Al rimal 301 until 322 and Al Sahari 408 to 404 ... are really peacefully located. Al kaihamah villas are rather inconvenient and with only halbtägiger sun, so if tented pool, then Al Sahari, but not everywhere in the program and normally about 700 euros costs. Were upgraded with dertour, which despite personal mail information first nothing knew-whose failure the also now always was? Other promised add values to also more vigorous demand for, there is probably a organization and arrangement problem between the hotel and the tour operators! after a 1-hourly Eincheckdisput was then an internal transfer made, so that we only two days in beach resort of the hotel spent and afterwards 3 days in a Al Sahari villa, the alone the leidlichen trouble at the start more than was worth it! beach is nice however quite artificial and the other BT claim not quite fair-location! Food! Service! for about 350 euros inclusive straight still acceptable when the usual Dubai beach prices compares. Rak is completely unnecessary and seems the party of the Emirates to be, so better in the hotel! when then the door to the massive villa 407 in the desert opened, began the actual vacation as we could have hoped for with great view, really beautiful decor and heavenly peace, if one the pool heating during the day turned off and but somewhat more bumps in the swim accepted. free time facilities inclusive, bicycles are in good shape, the rainforest rather sterile and again artificial, the treatments in the spa are very good, but like the rest of the Resortactivities also charming iND the pricing-in the kids club( nothing special beautifully convenient or decorated) are also a pronounced long Extrapreisliste? -where the Dromedarreiten a real Must is! what the food regards we were pleasant surprised by quality and prices, breakfast was excellent (but unfortunately indoor very loud and outdoor with a few tables in the shaded courtyard ambience-, whether as a result of the design have thought?), dinner the Thai restaurant was great with perfect service and great terrace goes so! the actual highlight begins in the South the plant-sand and wide, free-range Gazelles and at night a terrific starry sky, since no Buggyhighway you had the part of the plant then almost for itself! in short: if you really desert to take deeper into the bag and book equal Al Sahari villa -406 and 407 are the bestor you book the upgrade special various organizer and moaning then when the check in on this category high! What however a degree of perseverance and a little luck are necessary apart from that land in strandresort (is actually the next higher category!) or in the in our day discontinued Al Khaimah category, the identical size and equipped, but the location was absolutely not comparable is! read more

    Ras al- Khaimar is, of course, a village in comparison to Dubai. But close to the hotel there is a mall for shopping, several hotels, a golf course.

Unfortunately, there was no place in the sun in spite of the beautiful weather available. On the beautiful terrace with private pool there was no sunshine. The food was very, very expensive and it didn't taste. About 50,00 euros per person. The beach where you 35 minutes had to return was very nice. The water in the shower after 10 minutes still personnel. No 5.5 stars. read more

    hotel lies in the desert. What I on arrival very disturbed, the pollution is with plastic waste by the locals, along the street to the hotel. Almost under any bigger tree are tons of waste, the people after their breaks in the shade simply leave. furthermore i found but also the regular air traffic in low altitude over the hotel a bit annoying, since you are for a stay in the desert definitely not Planes over the head wishes, even if it is currently on the day only about 4-5 are.

    the staff were all in all friendly and helpful. We have it as a very bad thing, that the villa only at 15:00 Hours cleaned was. This is of course all the more, because the complex yes is geared, that one much in the ' rooms' can hang out. For this price you can certainly a service before 11:00/12:00 A. M. expect. Ridiculous seemed, that for all the free services of the hotel ( for example shuttle bus the beachclub or yoga ) always the availability of proven to be. You always got about 15 minutes later a callback. Ultimately we were then but always the only guests. as rude, we felt, that we when checking out (although the bill already prepared was ) of course only after the'pub' guests were served, although the honourable only after uS to front desk came. When we complained, said the staff, we would certainly appreciate. We had no sympathy. A Entschuligung there was not.

    the complex is located in a very quiet area and is well in the area nook. The distance to the beach is about 30 minutes, and the beach at the time of our stay was a construction site. It strange at the beach to be, if in addition to a heavy machinery active are. Unfortunately we were not informed. the drive to the airport lasts about 45 minutes.

This hotel is the absolute dream. Every room (villa) has its own pool, the not visible is. But it can happen, that, if you in the pool swim, a gazelle walked past. The furnishings the property is discreet-and not edl overloaded. The friendliness of the staff can't be beat. Only a point of criticism that detracts from the overall impression: the buffer tank in the middle the main building parts of the stone cladding dropped. read more

The beach villas are nice but still under construction. That is to say no buffet Villas very small and the open architecture it is very noisy. So on a par with a double room. Beach without sand. The sand is only beginning of April and the plants is new. The beach villas 2 years were empty and then been bought. So banyan tree handwriting is still missing. Food at the beach very good in the desert, a third villas facilities in the desert very good see tenter villa is the largest and very private as between the individual Villas sand ... dunes are filled. Room service was good. In short: Something other, relaxing but has nothing to do with Dubai to be done! read more

25 km, the large brand new hotel is located about 1 hour's drive away from Dubai in a conservation area. There are 3 types of villas: the ocean pool villas are in a semi-circle and fairly close together, more privacy in the tented villas in the middle (Al Khaimah) and (Al Sahari) highest category. We had a short guest performance in one ocean pool villa an upgrade in Al Khaimah-huge (250 square feet) in size, üppigst equipped, the view over the pool to the desert beyond the assets limit a dream. The complete list of goodies the scope, satellite TV ..., Bose sound system, free Wi-Fi, air conditioning flüsterleise, 2 people bathtub, before the pool large terrace with deck chairs and a daybed. There was everything you need and a lot more. For the lighting there is a manual, so many lamps and spots. the area in order to see the real resort to Al Wadi, there camels, within the area it free-range Antelopes and falconry. If the paths to far, yet on the buggy service, the transport, with the exception of vehicles Elekto as on the golf course. spa, gym and rainforest we did not try out, instead the free shuttle to the November opened beach resort, highly recommended. dining: there is a restaurant serving international kitchen and the saffron with Thai dishes at the level of the price is elevated( for example very delicious Ceasar salad good 10 euros). In the immediate the property does not exist alternative, so you are (without rental car) rely on the institutions. As the multi-course dinner on the saffron tower, exclusively for 2 persons (above fits only one table on it) with private servers. You should really go there hungry, we have an abundance of production, although the food of the finest quality - as well as the extensive breakfast buffet. the staff offers unobtrusive, always friendly service, excellent. we went to the Al Wadi very felt comfortable, but you should definitely book the tented villas and if possible avoid the weekends, when many guests coming from Dubai. So hot it during the day is: after sunset it is quite cold, warm clothes is needed. read more
