Fabulous stay at the Al Badayer Retreat by Sharjah Collection. Before my arrival, my dedicated butler - Elvin has already sent a message to follow up on my arrival and shared the location, assuring my arrival will be smooth. Soon after I parked, Elvin was already there waiting in a buggy to transfer me to the reception for check-in. Everything are seamless. The staff around were all welcoming and friendly. I was then travel through the resort facilities in my buggy when heading to my room. Stayed at the Grand Deluxe 1 Bedroom tent, it's spacious and the room has modernist design with luxury touch. Love their mattress & pillows, my sleep was spectacular! The terrace furnished with barbecue tools & dining area. Definitely will come back next time for a barbecue night. The private pool & sunbeds are the highlight of the stay. Spent most of the time there! Since my room is facing the desert, that grant me the absolute privacy and peace while enjoying my pool. Special thanks to Elvin, Kristie, Mr. Jamal & Mr. Ahmed, their personalised service and special touch has made my getaway exceptional! Highly recommend and am already planning to come back again before check out😂😂. Love it!

An excellent place for a getaway and felt totally at home at the same time. The retreat is set up in a way to make the guests feel at ease, relaxed and comfortable. Both the outdoor and indoor swimming pools were very enjoyable. We went in the summers (relatively less occupancy) so breakfast was a set menu but the variety was as good as a buffet. The staff were incredible and very attentive and forthcoming. We were warmly welcomed by Christie and Ukasha who saw to it that all our needs were addressed. At breakfast we were treated with loving and special attention by Kalani, and Chef Ashish gave us special attention by providing us with the cuisine of our desire. Florent was there without our asking to take us to our room! Rooms very comfortable and homely and diverse options of viewing on the television. I would highly recommend the retreat to anyone looking for a relaxed getaway and look forward to staying there again and in fact in other retreats too by Sharjah Collection! Imran Khalid Abu Dhabi

One suggestion for the property is that their refrigerators (mini bar) should be more chilled (they were not that cold).

The place was absolutely beautiful and we truly enjoyed our time there. It was very clean, and the service was impressively fast — whatever we asked for was delivered right away. The pool was very clean and completely private, which is something we rarely find — it really made the experience extra special! The reception staff were respectful and very helpful, and the food was incredibly delicious! Special thanks to Florent who helped us explore the place. He was always available to take us wherever we needed and bring us back as soon as we contacted him. He’s a very respectful and kind person, and we really appreciated his support! We’ll definitely be booking the same place again in the future!

Me and my family really enjoyed this place. All was perfect , rooms , food , facilities , access to a beautiful desert and attractions . But above all very professional and welcoming staff caring about all details and particularly friendly and committed : Mr Ahmed the General manger and all his staff were caring about all to make sure a comfortable stay for us. I Will definitely come back soon again with my family to enjoy this hotel and especially the villas with a desert view and private pool , the right place to relax fully.

Loved the fact that we had privacy...we wanted the relaxation and something away from the city.... the silence and peace The best part was we had a dedicated person alotted to us for our whole stay.. the day of your check in I received a msg on watsapp..where the retreats staff contacted me and introduced himself.. as our MORAFIK... Mr.Ukasha was soo good and hospitable and responded promptly to all my msgs before checkin...post checkin...during our stay as well.. I had also requested for a surprise bday cake to be arranged, which they did happily and as a complimentary... Food was decent and average..but the location and the hospitality n service along with ambiance just overlooked everything.. and flaws if any..but they weren't to be honest Also the best part..the pools are temperature controlled thankfully...soo we spent most of our time in the pool..

Just the food options..we opted for 2 meals.. dinner and breakfast.. I think the options should have some more variety ...but we were here just one night..for ppl staying their longer.. it wud get boring..but like I said .. it wasn't a major major issue or problem...it wasn't bad..

I like the hospitality and overall service from the staff. Everyone is corteous and attentive, from our Morafik, Edvin, to the buggy drivers Ali and Abubakr. The service whenever we call the reception is also quick. Loved the interior of our tent, the furniture were comfortable and our sleep restful. Loved the pool, barbeque area and the seating area outside. The food is also nice especially the barbeque. It’s also good that they have an indoor pool and fitness center!

The prices of the food are on the steeper side of the budget especially the breakfast The surrounding landscape of Tent 316 is also not very remarkable and dirty. Litters everywhere. I think it will also benefit if the villa landscape is a bit lusher. The landscape in general is fine, i like the desert approach, however I think the villas will benefit with trees and more plants to provide more privacy and better ambiance. Also, the channels of the cable tv is quite limited, good thing it has screen sharing for android.

The privacy was amazing, room service was fast and i liked the unique way of checking in and out the pool in our tent had a nice depth any one can swim even if you were not a good swimmer Definitely going back inshallah

I wished if the food menu had more options like what is a pool with out a pizza 😂 And make sure to get your shampoo conditioner and shower gel it’s like so small i can call them testers you will not be happy with this especially for long hair girls

It’s a real treat, a grand resort out in the desert with plenty of desert activities, an amazing restaurant, and solitude out away from the city. Stunning views, traditional elegance, and modern comforts accompanied by personal and accommodating staff.

As it’s a hotspot for desert activities, there are Motorsport noises and lights that can disturb the peace.

Amazing experience , everything was perfect relaxing environment, privacy and stunning views , all the staff are more than amazing welcoming they truly make you feel like home and take care of all details, Thank you ameni and Ahmed and Florent it was such info unforgettable experience , sure I will come again ❤️

That I didn’t stay more 😂

Our stay at Al Badayer Retreat was fantastic, from the facilities, the room and the food, but most of all the staff are all just amazing. Every single person we encountered was helpful, efficient, considerate and courteous. We have never had a better experience with the service and staff at a hotel or resort! On top of that, the food in the restaurant was outstanding, especially the breakfast!

The proximity to ATV and RV adventure areas is unfortunate, with both the views of the dunes spoiled in many directions, and the noise of the vehicles. Understand the property can't do anything about this, but the natural vistas in several directions is definitely compromised.
