"Great hotel, staff very welcoming "

"The receptionist Ahmed is very professional "

"A nice hideaway from the city, with an elegant touch of desert ambiance."

"My stay was good and the room was good also, however, the bathroom was not clean enough."

"I felt misled. I think it’s important to note if you are booking this for an overnight stay, that you will be sharing your meal and most of your time with the couple hundred tourists that come on buses for the attraction and leave after the shows. As we were the only overnight guests staying on the property it would have been a nice consideration for having our table called among the first for the buffet. As it was we sat there starving and were among the last tables called even though we were a table of two. A different table near us got up and went back for a second serving before we were even served!! The food was adequate, the humanity of people at the buffet was rude and pathetic. Very chaotic. By this point we didn’t even want to watch the entertainment after dinner. The overall experience was fine for a roadside attraction but I wouldn’t have booked an overnight stay if I had known what the situation would be. That the toilets are not only shared by “campers” but shared with everyone who attends that camp should be reconsidered. No thank you to showering there. Excellent site for photos, the camp itself is very nice. The tents are well appointed and very nice but your suitcases and belongings are unsecured to anyone present in the camp (all these hundreds of bus tourists) which wasn’t very comfortable. The camp is very clean and the staff are very kind. Wouldn’t call this ‘Elite’ or necessarily ‘glamping’ the experience was interesting though. "

"Having stayed in hundreds of hotels around the world, this was easily one of the worst experiences I’ve had. What was advertised as a peaceful, desert retreat was the complete opposite. The hotel hosted a private event that ran from 6pm until 3am, with music so loud we couldn’t even hear each other speak inside our room. After a few hours we attempted to leave, but were told we were not eligible for a refund because the booking was made through a third party. While the hotel did offer a room upgrade, the way the situation was handled was poor and lacked any real consideration for our experience. The ruined our evening, as we had to move and took away from the location. The food was equally disappointing. Dinner was cold and tasted reheated rather than freshly prepared, and breakfast was no better, the eggs appeared to be powdered or processed. We spent over $600 USD on this stay, and it was absolutely not worth the money. Overall, this stay fell well short of expectations and I would not recommend it to anyone seeking a quiet or relaxing experience. I found out that t"

"Best day in Awesome location really made our day fantastic memorable one..... "
