    Magical desert vibes!

    Spent a night in a deluxe room with a stunning desert view. The sunset from the Anwā terrace was breathtaking, and Al Hadeerah had this awesome buffet with live music. Staff were super friendly, always smiling. Can't wait to go back!

    limited seating
    common area discomfort

    During my stay at Bab Al Shams, I was captivated by the breathtaking architecture that perfectly complemented the serene desert landscape. The hotel's accessibility made it easy for seniors to navigate, allowing me to fully enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

    More seating options in common areas would be beneficial.

    stunning views
    beautiful architecture
    relaxed vibe
    limited breakfast

    Staying in the Deluxe Garden View King Room provided stunning views of the desert landscape, enhanced by the beautiful Arabic architecture throughout the property. The lounging areas by the pools add a relaxed vibe, making it a great escape to unwind with a refreshing cocktail at the swim-up bar.

    However, the breakfast options were a bit limited for a resort of this caliber, and the quality didn't quite meet expectations as some dishes felt dry, particularly the manakesh. Additionally, the pool area, though beautifully designed, can get crowded with families, making it difficult to find a quiet spot to enjoy the sun. The evening entertainment schedule needs adjustment too — a DJ appearing later in the night feels redundant when most guests are dining. Lastly, some frustrations arose with table reservations at Al Hadheera restaurant. our requests for prime seating were brushed aside, causing a less than harmonious dining experience.

    beautiful property , but needs more attention to detail

    The Deluxe Family Room was spacious and well-appointed, offering great comfort for our family. The staff were exceptionally kind, always ready to assist with our needs.

    The property has charm, but some areas felt incomplete due to ongoing renovations.
