Positive: The location and the view were truly beautiful. The man at the coffee station was very, very nice.
Negative: I have to write a bad review here because we arrived in cars. One day before arrival, we were informed that we needed to be picked up because our cars didn't have the right tires. It cost €40 for a round trip, which was a maximum of 10 minutes. When we drove the route, we saw that our cars could have easily made it. It was a tough trip and definitely doable by car. We felt ripped off. This information should have been provided beforehand. The beds are extremely hard.
Summary: nice accommodation but price-performance ratio is not right

Positive: Everything ! I really (really) recommend this amazing place. The staff was so kind. We booked the pickup (as we didnt have a 4x4). They were super comprehensive even if we were a bit late. The ride is short before reaching the hotel (5/10mn). The landscape just amazing (you’ll offer an unique experience to you and your kids). The bubble rooms were great, clean and well equipped. We came in the low season, they cooked only for us. We thought it would be something quickly made but it was really delicious, from A to Z so I strongly recommend to order the dinner, it’s worth it !!! We booked 2 bubbles for 2 adults and 3 kids and we all finally slept in one as the experience was amazing. Finally, the WiFi was super strong in our rooms. In conclusion, you’ll love your experience in this hotel !
Negative: Outside Beach chairs or any other equipments would be a great add on to enjoy the great night moments outside watching the sky. The transfer from the parking to the hotel is a bit expensive for the short ride (20OMR) but they bubble are so affordable that it’s compensating.
Summary: An amazing experience !

Positive: A Peaceful Desert Retreat with Stunning Views I recently stayed at this wonderful hotel and couldn’t be more pleased. The location is absolutely perfect—nestled in a calm, quiet part of the desert, offering a true escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The view from my room was breathtaking, especially at sunrise and sunset. Breakfast in the morning was a real treat—fresh, delicious, and with a wide variety of options to suit any taste. What really made the experience special was the staff: warm, welcoming, and always attentive to every need. If you’re looking for a serene getaway with great service and a beautiful setting, this is the place to be. I’ll definitely be returning!

Positive: Amazing ‘camp’ - it has only been opened 3 months so the property was in pristine condition. The bubble tents were pure luxury- with even a bath tub in it and the beds were ultra comfortable. The food was the best we have had in Oman so far so would really recommend paying the extra for dinner. The staff were lovely too.
Negative: The only thing was that the sunset dune bashing trip we booked didn’t work out- the driver had an issue with the fuel pump. Not the properties fault but they did mention that they would be getting their own vehicles in the near future so this should prevent them having to outsource.
Summary: Luxury glamping close to civilization :-)

Positive: I can easily call this one of the most wonderful experiences of my life. The accommodation was perfect and the resort was able to provide us with plenty or activities. The places is perfect located mear the dunes, but still close to the city. I love how they have a cafe and have full tasty meals for every part of the day. The meals were fresh and of great quality. I'm happy to say they were prepared with care as if dining at a proper restaurant. I'm suprised at the price, because this was worth more then what I paid for. I hopfully can be back again next year!
Summary: A wonderful experience
