Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort by Anantara

We had the most amazing honeymoon experience thanks to MD Wasi, also known as Mohamed. He was our butler, but he went far beyond what he had to do. He took us to a beautiful sunset spot and even a perfect place for stargazing, which made our trip feel so special and unforgettable. Mohamed was kind, thoughtful, and always made sure we were having the best time. Thanks to him, we’re leaving with the happiest memories from our honeymoon. Highly recommend him!

A loud shout out to our host Arun.. Amazing hospitality. Beautiful views.. Very Friendly staff. Everything was taken care in advance before even asking for it.

The Qasr Al Sarab is an extraordinary place. The location is truly in the desert, the hotel looks like an ancient fort, the staff are friendly and welcoming, the rooms are atmospheric, clean and comfortable, the food is amazing and the pool spectacular. We were delighted with the falcon dispaly, archery and camel riding experiences. Sadly there is a 'but'. Our experience was tarnished by extra expenses being added to our bills. For example, we had pre-booked and paid for the camel ride only to be charged again. Of course this was rectified when we pointed it out and we thought that there had been a simple error. However, there were additinal charges on our bills for dining and for our room (that we had pre-paid in full), all of which had not been incurred by us and that were removed from the bills when we pointed it out. Our advice is to please check your bills before paying any extra. It is because of this, we would not return to this Hotel and I can give no more than 3 stars.

We have a great experience from the first day we arrived until the last day.Good food quality and service

This was my fifth sojourn in the desert. Inevitably, you make comparisons, and this was right up there for several reasons:- 1) There was a very real sense of recognition, and I was pleased to be met by Jean Paul and other managers who had my back throughout. 2) It's well known that I love the serenity of the desert and do not want it undermined. In every sense, the choice of room and placement in the restaurant maximised this potential. 3) Abhushek, my inductee, was superb at recognising me as a returning guest. 4) Amenie is a great addition. The staff are full of fizz, not literally!! The food is authentic Italian, and it has a superb view of the desert. 5) Breakfast. This time, they knocked it out of the park. At the seat service for great Shakshuka, French Toast and a dish that Mary recommended. Mary exemplifies the best of UAE service. Humble, kind, knowledgeable, and very happy in her role rather than the reluctant or artificial service of elsewhere. Suhail and the Spa were as good as ever, and a big shout out to the chef for his mother's pudding (exquisite) and Christiane for a brilliant spa experience. My thanks to one and all for a wonderful interlude in the Empty Quarter.
