Hi, planning a stay in January... Check in is 3pm and check out 11am. Any common pool where we could ‘extend’ our stay a little further?

Like mentioned before, the new common pool is being build. Get in touch with the hotel to see whether or not it is open yet. Both Al Wadi desert and Al Hamra Beach are under the same sub-management. You could inform to see if it is possible for you to go to the beach there. It is a 15 minute drive.

Hi, are the private pools big enough to do lengths in or are they just plunge pools? Thanks Hannah

You could get up to 5 strokes in the pool before needing to turn. It is bigger than a plunge pool.

Hi there, does this resort have a public (bigger) pool for all guests to use; or is it only the villa plunge pools? Thanks!

This property has only villa private pools. They were constructing a public pool also but I don't think it Wouldve been completed as of yet. Kindly confirm with the hotel if the new public pool is operational.

Hi there, is this hotel located close to a beach?

hi its on the desert has private pool but they can take to to the beach from there!!! i loved it

I have booked to stay at this hotel over New Year for 5 days but having read a number of differing, negative and quite damming reviews I am considering changing to a different hotel. I read your review with interest but still am nervous about the poor quality and the tied standard of some of the rooms. Any comments would be helpful. thanks.

We could not fault anything here, it was perfect and is by far the best experience I have ever had and completely unforgettable. We were in the upgraded room and it was huge. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed
