The hotel has just undergone some renovations and upgrades. The quality of the facilities is amazing....everything from the room layout, to the common grass area, the gym, the pool overlooking the desert and the bar which has a bit of a speakeasy vibe.. Staff was very friendly and the check-in and check-out process was very smooth. I love the fact this hotel is pet friendly....amazing spot to bring your furry friend. Lastly, fantastic spread of the breakfast buffet...100% worth the price.

What a beautiful and serene spot to be secluded with your loved ones. An absolute delight in the middle of the western region of UAE, with an excellent high speed road if you are coming all the way from Dubai. Gas it up all the way to 160kmph to reach this milestone in less than three hours and have a delightful stay.
The pool and the view is absolutely commendable in this oasis. The hotel interiors and entrance are quite royal and Arabic taking you back instantly out of a Hollywood movie's stay at a desert resort. The people working here are all super nice and very hospitable.
Shout out to Raja Gopal, Shubash, Liya, Shweta, Sangam and the front desk gentleman. Thanks to the frontdesk for a beautiful room upgrade to the oasis pool view. Make sure to enjoy quad biking and happy hour by the pool to beat the heat. The aspect that can improve is the room service and the operators answering the phones as no one picked up our calls from the room or elsewhere. I'd think it's a busy schedule so I'll let that go.
Overall, loved my Eid stay and would definitely return.

This is one of the most wonderful places we have ever been. The hotel is wonderful in every way!
The staff is incredibly kind, helpful, smiling. The level of comfort in the rooms is beyond all expectations - the softest blanket, a comfortable huge bed, a cool bathroom.
The pool is a separate bonus, the atmosphere of an oriental fairy tale in everything.
And what dinners... Mmm.
In general, you definitely need to go!
And if you add the location to everything, then you will not want to go back to the bustle of the city at all.

Very beautiful hotel! It's an honor to be the first guests of this hotel. Everything is a hundred times better than expected! The staff are very enthusiastic and kind, and you can see that everyone is doing their best to make us experience better service. Thank you for the generosity of the hotel. We were pleasantly surprised to be upgraded to a suite and given camel riding, sand bottle painting and other interesting experiences. The food prepared by the restaurant is exquisite and delicious. Even though there are not many customers at the beginning of the opening, the hotel's preparations are not compromised at all, which impressed me deeply. The two days here will be the most unforgettable memories of the trip, especially the bonfire in the desert, where we stayed from dusk until dark - Desert Princess 2-hour experience. The children also had a lot of fun and will definitely come again if they have the chance! Thank you again for your efforts and I hope Aldhafra Resort will become better and better!

The location is average, but the price is cheap, but dining in the hotel is very expensive. If I had known that it would be a little bit expensive, it would be better to book a hotel in the desert, because it is so far away from the city! But those who pursue cost-effectiveness should be very satisfied. First of all, other desert hotels are really cheap.

Location 3 is because it is difficult to access unless it is a rental trip.
Since it's a family trip, there are 2 rooms, so I'm writing 2 reviews.
I recommend you to visit the Liwa Desert as well.
Breakfast is alright. Dinner is not recommended.
In this review, I will post pictures of the Liwa Desert.
The picture is the Liwa Desert, about an hour away from the Tiraliwa Hotel.
