Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort by Anantara

Wonderful experience at Qasr al Sarab. The villa with pool had an incredible view on the dunes, the food was delicious, the spa treatments were amongst the best I’ve had and everyone working on site were very friendly and helpful. When it was time to leave, our car was ready with three bottle of cold water. Special thank you to our butler Yassine Kchirid for his precious help over the weekend.

I’m writing this review while the emotions are still fresh — our family has just returned from a truly unforgettable weekend at this hotel, and I can say with full sincerity: this is one of the most impressive stays we’ve had. The hotel has absolutely won our hearts, and we will definitely be returning guests. From the moment you arrive, it’s clear that every detail has been carefully thought through — from the architecture and interior design to the genuinely warm and attentive service. The setting is simply breathtaking: located in the heart of the desert, surrounded by stunning reddish dunes. The views from the villa are mesmerizing and stay with you long after you leave. We stayed in a villa with a private pool, and I would especially like to highlight our butler, Yassine. He was outstanding — always available, proactive, and consistently going above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable and memorable as possible. This level of personal attention truly elevates the entire experience. The dining experience was equally impressive. The hotel offers several restaurants, each delivering high-quality cuisine. Breakfasts were excellent, with both buffet and à la carte options. Lunches and dinners were consistently at a very high level. What stood out in particular was the presence of the Director of Restaurants, Alessandro Italiano, who personally greets guests and ensures that service standards are maintained across all venues. His involvement and attention to detail are remarkable. Another standout aspect is the personalized service. The staff frequently addressed us by name, creating a genuine feeling of individual care and attention. The hotel offers a wide range of activities. While it’s impossible to try everything in a short stay, we chose Dune Bashing (soft drive), and it was an unforgettable experience. A perfect activity for families with children — exciting yet very safe. Our guide, Nassir, was highly professional and made the experience both thrilling and comfortable. He later mentioned he has been doing this for over 12 years, which clearly shows in his confidence and skill. Our children also loved the kids club — it appears recently renovated, and the staff were warm, caring, and engaging. The villa itself was impeccably maintained and equipped with everything one could need. Overall, I would like to extend my sincere thanks to the entire hotel team — from reception to housekeeping, from chefs to waiters — for delivering such an outstanding and memorable stay. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a luxury desert escape with exceptional service.
