I had an incredible stay at this resort where luxury and nature mingled beautifully. The rooms provided stunning views of the surrounding desert and came with their own private pools, offering a tranquil escape. The service was impeccable, with staff always ready to help while letting us enjoy our privacy. The only downside was the limited options for dining beyond room service, but the quality was excellent. Overall, it felt like a unique experience deeply connected to nature.

My stay at this resort was nothing short of magical. Each villa offers complete privacy and the views of the desert are breathtaking. The service truly stands out, with attentive and genuinely caring staff. My only minor issue was that some of the room amenities could use a little touch-up. Overall, this was an unforgettable experience, blending luxury with nature beautifully.

The Bedouin suite with its own private pool was spacious and incredibly comfortable. The bed was large and probably the most comfortable bed I've ever slept on. However, I did notice that some areas were showing their age and could benefit from a fresh coat of paint.

My stay at this unique resort in the desert was a dream come true. From the moment we arrived, the warm welcome made us feel truly special. The villa we stayed in was incredibly spacious with breathtaking views and a private pool, which was a highlight. However, my previous visits had set high expectations for service, and I felt a bit let down this time with a slow room change process and an underwhelming experience at the spa. Overall, the experience was wonderful but lacked the consistency I remembered.
