Bought a stay under one of the promotions on a website.

Decent facility with decent rooms and a nice pool. Pool did not seem that crowded as I saw on some of the other reviews.

Things that will receive a thumbs up:

1. Room cleanliness

2. Pool cleanliness

3. Room setup (talking about the romantic theme here) - very nicely done bubble bath and other flower decor related to it.

Things that need improvements:

1. Staff needs to be more professional in their conduct. On being asked something very basic (like exits to corridors) questions, some of them had this to say "Sorry I am new here. You can ask someone else". Others on realizing we were from India started explaining things in Hindi (the Indian local language), which I feel is not a good display of professionalism.

2. Service was too slow for the dinner. We eventually got fed up and went back to our room after waiting for an hour for the dinner to arrive. This seems even funnier because I received a call one day in advance asking me what we would like to have for dinner (there were options between four set menus). Funnily enough, we were being asked the same thing when we were checking in. When we mentioned that we'll be having dinner between 2030 and 2130, the staff said "No Sir, you'll have to give us a specific time". In all as a result of all this, the expectations were quite high.
The food was average.

In all an average option for a getaway away from the cities.

While this hotel is very nice and a nice surprise in the middle of the desert, there is something very odd about the management of the minibar in the rooms. Firstly my fridge was closed with a cable-tie that had to be broken to get into the fridge to cool our water for the next day. Then it became obvious that the fridge was not turned on and the switch to turn it on could not be found. Thirdly, on checking out, I was asked if I had taken anything from the minibar that I needed to pay for. I stated that I had not. When 2 minutes down the road I received a phone call accusing me of not paying for a black label whiskey. I stated again that I had not taken anything. What proof could I give? We drove back to the hotel and again told the staff that the item was not taken by me. Count the items in the minibar as you arrive and as you leave.
Further to this, they allow smoking inside. Keep this in mind if you are from a country where smoking is not allowed in bars and restaurants.
Also, room doors were banging in our corridor until 1am and started again at 6.30am, making it hard to get a full night's sleep. You could also clearly hear what was going on in the adjoining room through the connecting door.
Lastly, the restaurant staff are in need of some training. Little things like bringing a menu to everyone on the table, asking if you want to order drinks, and knowing how a fried icecream should be prepared and served for example.

We went for so called ''Romantic Weekend Escape'' and that was our 2nd time to go there.
Although the waether was not so great (like we've been in some other country....windy, sandy, cold), we had really nice time. The welcome drinks, fruit basket, botle of champaigne, buffet dinner & breakfast plus 20 % on F&B, bubble bath......all inclusive for a very, very affordable price!
Rooms are spaceous, clean with a quite big balconies with a pool wiev (desert view available as well), service is very efficient, staff very friendly and polite, the only problem is the constant presence of annoying flies, there just everywhere!!! And the Spa could be slightly bigger and better equiped, although the gym is fine,
Overall, very nice experience!
