Skiresort.info test report from 2012-08-25:
Qasr al Sarab Desert Resort is part of the Anantara Group. This very beautiful hotel, designed in an Arabian style, is located about a 2-hour drive from Abu Dhabi, in the heart of the Liwa Desert. The location of this luxurious hotel is already fascinating: huge yellow-reddish sand dunes, up to 200 meters high, rise all around the hotel as far as the eye can see.
The Arabian style, the very high standard throughout the entire resort, and the excellent, attentive yet unobtrusive service make this hotel a true highlight, in addition to its exceptional location.
The hotel features a beautifully designed pool with varying depths, a sun-protected children's pool, and a Jacuzzi. The swim-in bar and the complimentary, well-chilled drinking water make a day at the pool perfect. At the pool bar, you can even enjoy drinks and meals while sitting in the water.
There are various rooms, suites, or villas, with or without a private pool. Even the standard rooms are very spacious. The bathrooms are roomy and offer a large bathtub for relaxing.
If you don't just want to relax by the pool, you can play tennis, explore the desert on a jeep safari or a guided night walk, or visit the nearby camel farm and try a ride on the "ship of the desert."
For culinary delights, Qasr al Sarab Desert Resort offers four restaurants where no wish is left unfulfilled:
- Al Wahar (the oasis) with Middle Eastern and international cuisine and buffet
- Suhail with international cuisine with a French touch
- Al Ghadeer Restaurant next to the pool with light dishes and Mediterranean cuisine
- The lobby bar of Qasr al Sarab Desert Resort with local food and drinks
All in all, a very luxurious property with an exceptionally high standard and extremely attentive service.
