Quiet place outside Dubai, near desert. Pool was nice, clean. Dinner at Al Hadheerah with shows was good. Staff friendly, attentive but not pushy. Check-in early at 7am easy. Breakfast buffet good before spa massage. Pools cool in hot weather. Personal gift bag received. Overall, a good stay for relaxing and seeing desert vibe without city noise
