Staff were fantastic and so welcoming, dining options brilliant, a true oasis in the desert, wonderful for celebrating special occasions - we chose this beautiful location to celebrate a birthday and to propose. We are excited to already book our next stay because of how special we were made to feel and celebrated.

Litter was evident in various places and seemingly ignored by staff - we ended up picking some of this up ourselves after it was walked past by multiple members of staff. Additional bins around the site would help to reduce this.

The location is beyond stunning. We also loved our room, so much space, especially in the bathroom. The grounds are lovely and very serene. The infinity pool for adults made you forget where you were...stunning! Breakfast offered was also wonderful.

The resort itself is beautiful, a good balance of tasteful design and opulence whilst retaining warmth and comfort. There is a great variety of amenities, facilities and activities. All the staff are super attentive, welcoming and professional and unlike most of the UAE, you can chat with all the staff as equals - nobody is shy or nervous. The rooms are brilliant with well-stocked bathrooms.

The poolside (Ghadeer) restaurant's asian food is not up to scratch, compared to all the other fantastic food we ate. I feel a lot of the optional activities are priced very high, but I guess that comes with literally being stuck in the middle of nowhere and being a captive audience ha ha.

we were completely captivated by the breathtaking beauty of the desert and the serene, luxurious atmosphere. What truly made our stay exceptional was the impeccable service. The staff was not only professional but went above and beyond to make our special occasion unforgettable. Every detail was taken care of with such thoughtfulness, ensuring that our celebration was seamless and truly special. A special mention to the cart team, who were always prompt and courteous, making it easy to get around the resort. Omnath in particular stood out with his kindness, professionalism, and warm hospitality, always greeting us with a smile and making sure we were comfortable. I

Nothing

I just had the most extraordinary experience at Qasr Al Sarab, and I can't contain my enthusiasm! Nestled in the heart of the Liwa Desert, this place is nothing short of magical. From the moment I arrived, I felt like I had stepped into another world—one where the golden dunes stretch endlessly, shifting colors with the sun, and the silence of the desert brings a sense of deep tranquility. The setting itself is breathtaking. Standing atop the dunes, watching the sun dip below the horizon, I was mesmerized. The desert’s vastness, combined with the sheer beauty of the resort, made every moment feel surreal. The architecture blends seamlessly with the surroundings, giving the impression of a timeless oasis rising from the sand. But what stood out the most was the night sky. With no city lights around, the stars felt closer than ever, creating a celestial spectacle I’ll never forget. The hospitality was exceptional. From the warm welcome to the incredible cuisine, every detail was thoughtfully curated to provide an authentic yet luxurious experience. Sitting around a fire under the desert sky, enjoying traditional Emirati flavors, I felt completely immersed in the spirit of the place. Qasr Al Sarab is more than just a resort—it’s an experience that awakens the senses and leaves an imprint on the soul. I can’t wait to return, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a truly unparalleled escape into the desert’s magic!

I just wanted to share that everything went absolutely smoothly—nothing went wrong at all. From start to finish, every detail fell into place seamlessly. The planning, execution, and overall experience were flawless, with no setbacks or unexpected issues. Seeing everything run so efficiently was truly refreshing, making the entire process enjoyable and stress-free. I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome, and I appreciate everyone’s efforts in making it happen. Looking forward to more experiences like this in the future!

Staying at Qasr Al Sarab isn't just a quick getaway—it's an unforgettable experience that immerses you in the culture and history of Abu Dhabi and the essence of desert life. Beyond the fantastic facilities, delicious food, and exciting activities, the true standout of the resort is its amazing staff. A huge shoutout to the hospitable and friendly team who made our stay truly extraordinary, including Sweekrit from the luggage service, Faran from the Dune Bashing activity, Rahul from customer service, and so many more!

I liked that is was truly in the desert and remote which made the experience magical. What made it special was the staff. I lost my mobile phone during a dune buggy ride and when I thought all was lost, dune guide Tabish and security Bisal went into the desert the next morning and found it! It was a miracle! Thank you so much for your dedication and care shown to your guests.

Nothing. It was perfect! Should have asked for a room further away from the main building as we could smell and hear sounds from the kitchen on our terrace.

It was a great way to celebrate our anniversary, a little compliment from the hotel was waiting for us already when we checked in. The beauty of the dunes is astonishing, I was totally mesmerized. The bathroom was so beautiful and spacious, and everything was very tidy. The food in the steak house was also 10/10.

We had trouble booking a table in the restaurants. There are three, however, on our very first day, after the long trip, we had to eat in the room because there were simply no tables available for dinner. It was Friday before the long holiday, a very popular time, and I understand that. However, the hotel of such level could be a bit more considerate of all the guests (or add more tables to accommodate?)

Magical setting and service . Special thanks to Chantel ( restaurant ) , Thato , both ladies were exceptional ( restaurant )Jeremiah and , Bosco ( welcoming faces and incredibly helpful as soon as you depart and arrive on the property ) Robbie ( for his extensive knowledge and patience on the sunset desert walk ) , Levy ( was absolutely amazing at teaching us archery and capturing some lifelong memories ) and Adam ( who was excellent at his morning motivation on the sunrise walk ) .Not to forget the kids football coach / kids club activity director who made sure to invite all kids to participate and was incredibly hospitable and skillful .

It was a dream come true and great way to celebrate two birthdays . Congratulations Anantara it was an unforgettable vacation indeed!

One of the most beautiful and unique hotels my family and I have ever visited, everything was exceptionally perfect at this beautiful place in the middle of the desert, the food, property, staff friendliness, hotel room and everything else. There is absolutely nothing negative to mention. As mentioned before all the staff was great but some names stuck with me, first there are the guys at the pool bar, Amila & Krishnan who were super friendly and very attentive. Then there was Kishor and Rajneesh from the Mediterranean restaurant near the pool, who were also very great in service and very helpful. Then there was Dulan at the Suhail steak restaurant who was the waiter who served my family and me for dinner, he was a 10/10, as working in the hospitality and F&B sector myself I know what to expect and pay attention to when visiting such a high class restaurant and without exception he fulfilled all the criteria, his professionalism, friendliness, attentiveness as well as knowledge about the food and place was just incredible, I can see him being a great F&B Manager at some point in his career. Thank you again to all the people at Anantara Qasr al Sarab Desert Resort for providing such an unforgettable experience!
