Paradise between dessert and rocks

What a stunning location!
Breath taking location, with super attentive staff. Nothing was too much trouble. It was a shame that the rock pool was closed, but we were offered a pool at a vacant villa which worked well for us. Maraya tour is worth a look if you can’t afford a second mortgage to dine in their restaurant. Thank you for a wonderful stay

Amazing experience in an amazing location
An amazing experience at an amazing location made better by the wonderful service. Special shout out to Chef Tina who really went the extra mile to bring a taste of home to me and the family - it was some of the best meals we have had in a while!

Thank You for a Wonderful Stay 4-Night Stay (09-13 March 2025)
I just wanted to take a moment to thank you all for the wonderful hospitality during my stay in AlUla (March 2025). From the moment I arrived, I felt so well taken care of. The room was spotless, the atmosphere was peaceful, and every staff member I interacted with was kind, professional, and welcoming. A special thank you to the duty manager on the evening of my last night, March 12th 2025. I had booked the Incense Road experience in Old Town with my little girl, and we returned quite late. Duty Manager, Saad, who assisted me, he was on shift around 1 a.m. on March 13th. I was unable to find a taxi back, and when I called the hotel, he kindly arranged a car to pick us up. That thoughtful gesture meant so much to me and truly reflected how much you care about your guests' comfort and safety. I hope he receives this message and is recognized for his exceptional service , he truly went above and beyond. I also truly appreciated the lovely breakfast every morning , not just the delicious food, but the warm, friendly team who served us each day. They made our mornings feel extra special. I'm still thinking about my stay and the beauty of AlUla. I hope to return in the future, and I will definitely be choosing your hotel again.
