This is the most comfortable and worthwhile hotel I have ever stayed in Dubai. Dubai is probably a city in the Middle East, so the food culture is not in line with the appetite of Chinese people, and the Western food is also very average! But the Western restaurant in this hotel is very authentic and delicious. Although the price of the hotel is more than 10,000 per night, it includes three meals, and you can order breakfast at will. The quantity can really be said to be very rich, and the taste is delicious, so it is delicious and worth enjoying! It is recommended to send breakfast to the room, with the company of deer 🦌... A wonderful breakfast is very memorable. The only drawback is that time passes too fast, and I have to check out before I can enjoy it!

It's a high-end hotel owned by Marriott. We are two family members. The receptionist upgraded us to a suite. It was a big surprise and the service was really great. (Children are required to be over 10 years old, and the management is very strict. Friends who go there must pay attention) Includes three meals and two free activities. If possible, it would be better to stay for two nights. It is the only hotel in the Antelope Nature Reserve. When the meal arrives, the antelope birds will come and wait for food. They like to eat bread, which is very mild. Although the price is a bit high, it is still worth it for the unique experience. Choose 2 out of 6 activities, falconry and camel riding are the most interesting (falconry is conducted by a professional guide, and you can take a group photo at the end). The wildlife viewing car is also good. We drove to a lake. The water was so clear and there were small fish. ,interesting. Standard western food, the beef and prawns are very good. We ate our first dinner in the restaurant, but later we were too lazy to run and ordered food to be eaten in the house. It was delicious but I was not used to it. Master Kong’s instant noodles and pickled mustard were the best ones😋. Sand washing and spa are charged separately. The price of spa is quite reasonable, more than 500 dirhams for 60 minutes. A very good experience, feel the desert next to the sea, highly recommended.

The trainer and the guy who took us to the beach are the same guy. He is a very nice person. I really like this hotel. There is Chinese service and everyone is very welcoming. The private swimming pool is at a constant temperature.

It takes about 45 minutes to drive from Dubai Airport to the hotel. However, there were heavy rains two days before we arrived, and several culverts were flooded. Fortunately, our driver was very responsible and took a detour to get us to the hotel safely. Although the hotel looks desolate, it feels very safe after entering. There is security at the first door to check the reservation, and non-residents are not allowed to enter. The room is large, very Arabic style, with all toiletries available, and 8 bottles of water are given every day. The water in the swimming pool has been put in, but the temperature was low on the day we stayed so we didn't go in. The 3-meter large bed is very comfortable to sleep on. I bought it for a package of 3 meals, and it was unambiguous at all. I enjoyed the meal very much, the taste was good, and the service was very good. Since I brought a 70-year-old man with me, I only participated in the antelope watching and four-wheel drive desert sunset activities. The guides are very enthusiastic and will cooperate with us to slow down the speaking speed so that you can understand. We arrived at 6 a.m. and waited for more than an hour before we were checked in. Tibetan antelopes can be seen jumping around at the door every day. This is a great place for families or couples to come and relax.

The room is great, and the all-inclusive meals are really great. You don’t have to eat what you want or where to eat every day. The dishes are all delicious and there are no surprises.

A very satisfying accommodation experience. The child has just turned 10 and meets the age requirements for accommodation. There will be a welcome drink when you arrive. If the room is not available, you can choose to have lunch in the restaurant first. After the meal, the room was almost ready, and the staff would bring it to the room for a brief introduction. When I opened the door and saw the antelope, I felt that the money was well spent. For the project, I chose camel and falconry, one can watch the sunset and the other is just in time to catch the sunrise. We chose to have breakfast delivered to the room. During the meal, the antelopes came again and really liked these little cuties. They would look at you from a distance and be very well behaved.

Summary: If the money is spent, it is good (#^.^#). Although the price is expensive, I personally think it is worth it. Favorite: The big bed in this hotel is so comfortable. The bed is super wide and soft, and the pillows are super large and soft. When you lie down in it, you feel like you are "going back to your nest", hahaha. I could lie there all day without going anywhere, and it would feel wonderful~~ When I checked out, the thing I couldn’t part with the most was the big bed, hahaha, it’s just so worthless~ 【Room】 The facilities in the room are complete and consistent with the promotional pictures. They are all very good. If you feel that the water temperature of the swimming pool is not suitable, you can tell the front desk and let the hotel adjust it. They will remind you and inform you when you check in. Adjusting the water temperature and water circulation obviously requires a process and needs to be adjusted in advance. 2 or 3 hours, so if you want to take pictures of the swimming pool, you should test the water temperature when you check in. If you need it, tell the housekeeper first, so that you can go into the water at any time later. 【FOOD】 The room price includes three meals, and the options are quite rich. We stayed for two days in total during this trip. If you don’t have too many dietary restrictions, the daily choices can still be diversified and differentiated; in general, from the taste and cooking methods As for the ingredients themselves, I think they are all higher than my expectations. There are international Western food options and some Arabic specialties to choose from. You can choose to eat in the restaurant or order to the room for all three meals. The advantages of going to the restaurant: the breakfast buffet area has more choices; dinner is a five-course Western meal (three courses when ordered in the room), and two more courses are special for the day, but after trying it once, I think it is dispensable; if you are used to serious Western food, Eat in order and wait for a long time before serving the next dish. The advantage of ordering to the room is that the eating process is more relaxed and casual. Appetizers, main dishes, desserts, etc. are served at one time, which is more in line with Chinese dining habits. We only had breakfast and dinner on the first day in the restaurant. We ordered the rest of the lunch and dinner to the room, which was very comfortable~ 【project】 The price per person per day includes 2 free items to choose from. We stayed for two days, so one person can choose four items. We chose sunrise falconry, desert jeep roaming (explained by the driver and tour guide), sunset camel, and archery. Archery was chosen based on the numbers. Later, both of them were lying on the comfortable bed and didn’t want to move, so they didn’t go, haha. In addition, there are other paid options available. 【Small animals】 The hotel is in a protected area, so there is no need to worry about not seeing small animals. There are many trails, restaurants, and villas in the hotel area. They also know that there are many places to eat around, so it is basically impossible not to see them.

It was a super wonderful experience. From the moment I checked in, the staff were very enthusiastic. Everyone can also choose 2 desert projects to experience. I watched the sunset and sunrise. The room was very large, with a separate swimming pool, and there were antelopes. It will come, and the whole person will feel like in a fairy tale! The three meals were also great, and they even prepared a birthday cake for me! I recommend everyone to try it out! worth it!
