This isn't my first time choosing the Ritz-Carlton, and for good reason! The location is fantastic, and the breakfast spread is diverse with excellent quality control. Every staff member, from the front desk to other service areas, is incredibly friendly and helpful.

Had a wonderful stay here! The room was clean, bright, and had a beautiful view. Breakfast was plentiful, and it was lovely to often see animals grazing peacefully right from our room.

The pool in the standard room is actually quite small, making it difficult to really swim. If you want more comfort, it's better to stay in a tent villa. The hotel's main pool is also very shallow; I can't quite remember the exact depth, but essentially, adults can barely swim in the hotel's public pool. The hotel's safari, however, is pretty good. As for the half-board option (two meals included), I'm not sure it's worth it. For two adults and one child, the normal buffet price is around 750 AED, and it felt like the cost was just added on, similar to if we'd gone out to eat ourselves. Plus, with the meal plan, you can't choose the most特色 dishes at the farm restaurant. It might be better to just book breakfast and then go out for lunch and dinner on your own; the price ends up being about the same. Finally, as we were leaving, there was an incident: my child's bicycle, which was parked in front of our villa, was quietly taken. We reported it to the hotel, but they just gave us a vague, dismissive explanation. I was really annoyed because I had planned to ride the bike to breakfast. As it turned out, I recognized who took it on the way! I have no idea what that person was thinking at the time!

I loved my stay! Everyone I met, from front office to the concierge to restaurant staff to the buggy staff, were very nice, helpful and friendly. Big contrast to my stay in Dubai hotel. My activities were well organised and the staff were already waiting at my door picking me up to the lobby for check-out which was very nice of them!

This desert hotel, less than an hour and a half's drive from Dubai, offers excellent privacy and beautiful scenery. You can spot gazelles on the paid safari offered by the hotel.

However, for a room rate of over 10,000, the room decor and furniture are quite old. The heated swimming pool is very small, more like a large plunge pool. The breakfast selection is limited with few options, so overall, the value for money isn't great.

Everything is outstanding. We really enjoyed the stay and definitely will be back again.
Special thanks to staff Pablo: always with lovely smile, always happy to provide extra help!

We love the room, particularly the private pool overlooking the desert. There were oryx right outside our pool, which we really enjoyed watching while soaking in the heated warm pool. We had our dinner at the Farmhouse by Syrco restaurant for birthday celebration, and the food was tastefully crafted to surprise your palate. The sophisticated culinary experience along with warmth service by Yee was the highlight of the night. Breakfast too was equally impressive, in terms of flavor, quality ingredients as well as wide selections offered. Don't miss out the falcony show. Ashley, the owl was our favourite. The only flaws were the long waiting buggy service and the rusty, non-adjustable bicycle seat. That said, it was overall a memorable stay that we can't wait to go back in future.

We have stayed here on numerous occasions and so a little late at doing a review (rather late than never). Always an incredible stay. From the moment you arrive till the moment you leave, our stays have always been an incredible experience. Exceptionally friendly staff (which ever division they work for) who are always willing to support and go that extra mile to ensure your stay is a memorable and simply easy one! Breakfast buffets are exquisite and there are numerous options for lunch and dinner. Enjoy long walks through the little resort, falcon shows, see the owls and a visit to the horses. Rooms are incredible and of course, the best for last, your own private overflow pool overlooking the animals grazing an arms reach away. A fantastic stay indeed and we can’t wait to go back (soon). Treat the family to an exquisite few days away - trust me :)

The food: absolutely very limited options , especially at breakfast in my opinion. My boyfriend and I barely ate anything there. There were flies swooning several dishes at breakfast. There were no small fans at all to prevent this from happening. This raises some questions regarding cleanliness of food preparation here. If this is what I am seeing, I wonder what I am not seeing.
When I brought up this issue to the manager, I was offered a mere 20% discount of an activity I had signed up for, which is not enough in my opinion. I had to waste time, waiting for them to cook the new pancakes, replace the dishes, etc.

Room: the room gave us a decent amount of privacy and the concept of having a villa in a desert was pretty cool. However, the room was pretty dark and had a lot of flies in it. There were some issues with the bathtub and shower. It was very hard to use and broken. However, when we had called the front desk they addressed it promptly and fixed it for us.

Service: it was okay, but not wow, compared to other five star hotels we’ve been to. We expected more here.

Will not be returning.
