Good decent hotel, great view, we enjoyed our stay. welcoming staff, breakfast buffet was excellent and staff were caring and suggestive too. really its amazing to have the evening tea at the terrace overlooking the pool and the sand dunes. rooms are luxuries, don't miss the free camel ride.

Had a wonderful weekend here, despite rainy weather(so unexpected in Dubai). While the foyer was rather dated the rooms had been renovated and were clean and comfortable, loved the turn down service. Bathrooms were a little old fashioned and need updating but were very clean.Food was fabulous and very good value. Due to weather we didn't enjoy the pool but... More

If you want to spend the night at the Liwa Oasis, there aren't many alternatives. So for once we put aside our budget and booked a room at the Liwa Hotel. To be honest, we weren't disappointed. Check in was a bit slow, but we were offered something to drink while we waited. Even though we had the cheapest room... More

Found the hotel fine, no problems, nice high cileings in the rooms, bar pool etc all fine. Staff good too. Have to query the health and safety aspects of having a live falcon in the lobby with kids around - although it didn't seem bothered by the taunts of a squad of about 5 seven year olds, No issues, not...

We stayed for a couple of nights and after quite some experience of these types of hotel in the Middle East is was mostly as expected.

Great location for the dunes if you don't want to camp. Rooms are very basic and the service is truly terrible (but what do you expect). We hired one of the three bed villas (with private pool etc) for the second night to celebrate my birthday. Again, when we arrived we were pretty shocked with seemly endless broken light bulbs...
