We booked deluxe family room for a night. It is two separate rooms next to each other. The rooms are spotless clean. The pool is superb. The kids love the complimentary camel ride. Staffs are attentive and helpful. Fantastic hotel. Just beware of the wasps.

We’ve been staying in many 5+ stars hotels around UAE, this one has some obvious details that can really be improved. 1) Sensor tap in washroom: It’s not functioning as expected - timing of water running was either too sensitive or totally missed it. I had a hard time trying to wash my face. 2) shower water control: there were three rotation handles without any indication which does what. Need to learn and try a few times to get it right. 3) breakfast is great: No crazy amount of selections but it will fits my tastebud and cooked well. 4) Bug control especially mosquito: It’ll be nice if they can offer some at table smokers or some spray scent to clear those uninvited friends, it will enhance our whole dinning experience. In general it’s good value for money and high standard hotel, just some adjustments and improvements.

The overall environment is quite comfortable but the Arabic buffet is a bit cold, maybe due to they’re in the outside. I’d recommend this resort if you’d like to relax without too many people around the place.

Service is excellent. All staff there are very helpful and cheerful. We stayed there to celebrate Christmas and had a very good times for family reunion there. We took the dinner at Anwa restaurant and we went there during sunset so that can enjoy the beautiful sunset especially the weather now is fantastic. The swimming pool divided into few section for family and kids, and adult pool in a very comfortable, spacious, natural and relax surroundings and you can enjoy very good sun bathing there. My daughter took horse riding on next day and she enjoyed very much.

The hotel duty manager, Trish, has been very helpful in resolving some of the issues we encountered during our stay. She took the issues very seriously, issues including bar/restaurant staff not being up to the hygiene standards, particularly in view of the pandemic, and took actions to remedy the situation. The hotel needs to improve its staff training, food quality and put in better sound proofing in guest rooms. The current management has however shown a willingness to listen and take remedial actions and bring the hotel to a level to be expected of a luxury desert retreat.
Response from Property: Dear Guest,It was a pleasure to welcome you at Bab Al Shams Desert Resort.We are very proud of our products and services but from the comments you have highlighted below we have clearly fallen short of our best performance when looking after you. Rest assured that we have taken your feedback with the utmost importance and have taken immediate actions so as to ensure that in future similar scenarios will not repeat itself. More importantly, we will continue to place utmost priority on training and developing our team members to ensure that they are always able to deliver services to the satisfaction of our guests.Meanwhile, your flattering remarks about the service rendered by our colleague Trish will surely be passed on to her. I am sure she will be pleased to learn that her sincere efforts were recognized by you. Thank you once again for your feedback which is indeed crucial in supporting our improvement efforts. We look forward to welcoming you again in the near future and provide you with a better service next time.Kind regards,Ziad SleimanHotel Manager

The hotel is located in the heart of the desert. Driving on the desert highway, you will see an oasis. The decoration style of the entire hotel and the room is integrated with the desert. It is simple and natural. I like the style very much. It is very photogenic. However, the hotel meals are shockingly expensive. It is better to have a bowl of Master Kong beef noodles. There are some entertainment activities in the hotel. Riding camels and taking photos with desert falcons are free. Desert sand rushing, desert cycling, and desert archery all require additional fees.
