Anantara Qasr Al Sarab is truly the most amazing resort we have ever stayed at. From the moment we arrived, the service was unlike anything we have experienced before. What made our stay especially unforgettable was how wonderfully the entire team treated our son. They made him feel as though the resort was his home. Every staff member knew his name and went out of their way to make him feel comfortable and special. From the managers, buggy drivers, kids’ club staff, lifeguards, and restaurant team, everyone interacted with him in the sweetest and most genuine way. They brought him complimentary sorbet and meals, chatted with him, and made him feel completely at ease throughout our stay. They even set up a beautiful teepee for him in our villa, which was such a thoughtful touch and made the experience even more magical for him. It was also my birthday during our stay, and the team made it incredibly special with cakes, balloons, decorations, and even a lovely little sand gift. Every detail felt personal and heartfelt. The food was brilliant, especially the breakfast, which had an amazing variety of options. Everything was beautifully presented and delicious. The service at this resort is truly unmatched. A special mention must go to Manish, the manager, who made sure we were looked after every step of the way. He went out of his way to come and see us during meals and around the resort, just to check that we were comfortable and had everything we needed. That level of care made such a difference and really stood out to us. Our butler, Shubham, was also incredible and always just a WhatsApp message away for anything we wanted or needed. He made everything feel effortless and seamless. We cannot recommend Anantara Qasr Al Sarab highly enough. It is a truly special place with exceptional people, and we can’t wait to be back.

We had the most incredible experience at Anantara Qasr Al Sarab with our dog! The resort has recently become pet friendly, and we were lucky enough to experience 2 nights away with Bella. From the moment you check in, the hospitality and level of service is unmatched. They provide everything you need for your dog, and pay attention to all the details, taking care to remember your dog’s name and their preferences. There are dedicated rooms and villas which are pet friendly, and dogs are allowed into the pool in the pet friendly villas. They are also allowed along a special walking track just for them. For the humans, the food is amazing and there are lots of activities throughout the day like a falcon show, farm visit, pilates, pickeball, stargazing and more. The whole team is just the best! A very special thank you to Arun for looking after us. We are so grateful and can’t wait to come back.

Qasr Al Sarab is a stunning resort with breathtaking views in a tranquil and relaxing environment. For the most part, the staff mwere simply amazing, very friendly, and welcoming. The restaurant variety is lip awesome, with the service in the restaurants being wonderful. While overall it is a fantastic resort, there are some very noteworthy disappointments. The AC in our villa was not working upon arrival. While these units can fault occasionally, the fact that the villa was not ready for occupancy was surprising. In addition, the staff was not very helpful as the situation was being resolved and did not show up to assist. The issue was eventually resolved. On our last day, our key was deactivated early and we could not access our villa. While our assigned team member was slow to respond, we were able to get the attention of another staff member driving by to assist. However, even then his focus was on reaching our assigned staff member over resolving the issue. While the resort has very high potential, the noted issues were more than an inconvenience and represented the overall lack of attention by the management team.
