I had an incredible stay at this beautiful resort surrounded by breathtaking nature. As a horse lover, the stables and farms were a dream come true! A special thanks to Yousuf at reception for his outstanding hospitality. I arrived earlier than check-in time, but he went out of his way to arrange an early check-in for me and followed up to make sure I was comfortable. He also booked a fantastic tour with Nelson, who was friendly and informative, giving me an amazing tour of the stables and facilities. I also had a lovely chat with Nerea, who shared the inspiring story behind the restaurant. Thank you to the wonderful staff for making my stay unforgettable. I can’t wait to return!

The hotel provided an exceptional experience with its spacious and comfortable rooms, welcoming staff, and delicious restaurant meals. I particularly enjoyed the serene pool area and the beautiful hotel spaces, along with the stables and bar. Its quiet location offered stunning views of Dubai, making my stay memorable.
I was disappointed by the weak water pressure in the showers, which made for a less than refreshing experience. Additionally, the room light switches and USB ports for charging were hardly functional, causing some inconvenience during my stay.

Spa is amazing, room specious, we were celebrating our anniversary, so the hotel team arranged nice decoration, fruit bowl etc., pool in the villa is 100% private, heated, simply great. Breakfast is really good, you'll choose from the menu for AED 150. which is enough for fruit bowl, latte, avocado toast or eggs benedict etc. Dinner in the steak restaurant is fabulous as well. Great meat, amazing sides, delicious drinks to choose from. And a nice singer in the restaurant during the evening made the stay very memorizing as well...
Pool area not that large, very close to the restaurant. Smell comes from the horse stalls in the afternoon and evening. This needs to be looked into.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful resort, and I must say it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The hotel itself is beautifully maintained, with elegant decor and a welcoming atmosphere that made me feel right at home. What truly stood out during my stay, however, was the remarkable level of service provided by the staff. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm smiles and genuine hospitality. The front desk team, especially Essam, Amina and Shahid went above and beyond to ensure my stay was smooth and hassle-free. They provided excellent recommendations for local dining and attractions, which greatly enhanced my stay. A special mention must go to [Housekeeping Staff Member's Name], who kept my room spotless and tidy throughout my visit. Their attention to detail and friendly demeanor were truly appreciated.

Everything . From the facilities to the staff I would always chose Melià desert when ever I come to Dubai . Location: I chose melià desert although it was a bit far from the conference I came to visit because I wanted peace and quiet and also I wanted a fun place for my husband and son who came with me. I thought it’ll be long trip everyday to convention center but because of its excellent location there was no traffic neither going or coming back so it really made it the perfect location. Reception : Everyone in the reception were nice and kind and were really friendly with my son and gave him the cutest drawing book that even I learned from it about polo sport which was nice. I must give special thanks to Mr Yusuf whose hospitality was superb. Epicure : ( breakfast place ) Kamila and prya were ready for us every morning to get us the most delicious breakfast and always had surprises for my son to be entertained. Spa: Amazing facilities and amazing staff had a really good facial with them , wanted to do more more services but wasn’t able to due to my conference. Housekeeping: Saved the best for last . I have a toddler so the room would get messy everyday but every time I came back to the room I would find it exceptionally clean and tidy good as new . I must give special thanks to Nymin , Tharmshi , April . They knew my son loves animales so they made an elephant with towels which my son really loved. I think this is the first time I write a detailed review but I highly recommend everyone to visit this amazing amazing place whether you are a couple or family . You will find this place exceptional and the facility has it all to serve you .
