    I stayed at Al Maha for a short birthday trip—the perfect way to reset! The resort is stunning: peaceful, luxurious, and beautifully set in the desert. I packed in a few excursions during my stay, with highlights being the solo stargazing tour (Ryno was a fantastic host—I learned so much about the galaxy!) and the mesmerising falcon show. It was a truly memorable experience. I hope to revisit.

    Dinner food was a bit patchy. Ravioli quantity was too much. Tender coconut dessert was not so tasty - did not have an authentic flavour of coconut and it was not so sweet. Otherwise food was excellent.

    Staff members were very polite and attentive. Particularly Ariel was super communicative and helpful.

    Al Maha is the perfect location if you’re looking for a luxurious peaceful retreat with spectacular views of the desert. The staff were always on hand to help and very friendly, Anise (horse instructor) was fabulous and made the trip for me, thank you Anise! The room and pool was amazing, you had everything you needed in the room and plenty of space, beautifully decorated, the pool was a great size and perfect to cool down in. The food was very tasty and fresh, they had a good selection and alot of new things to try. The camel sunset ride was an excellent experience and would recommend to anyone who’s staying, the guides are really friendly and knowledgeable. I would recommend Al Maha to everyone! Thank you for an amazing stay, we will be back and longer next time round.

    We should found this resort few years ago😂

    How can you just describe in few words when you found your SOUL PLACE? This place is just amazing, beautiful beduin suite with full privacy and absolutely georgous view. But what is making this place different than any other places are people..staff. The atmoshere they were able to create is incredible. You literally feel like you are at home with your own family and friends. I feel I have to mention all of them who made our staying so great that we will be definitely back with our kids. It all starts with Mr. Tom, GM, who welcome you personally immediately after you step into the building. Our staying was whole time surrounded by Mr. Soshan, funny, nice and highly professional front desk magician who always answered all off our questions. Also Mr. Michael who is your guide through all the activities in the desert has high knowledges about everything around you. Last not least is the restaurant and everybody who works there. Everything in the kitchen is under the control of THE CHEF Mr. Piotr. Beginning the huge variety of the breakfast through the whole until the late hours he will the ANYTHING to make you and your family happy. We had a great chicken terrine with truffle sauce and the best beef wagyu carpaccio we ever ate (even the one in Tokyo was not better). And waiters and their manager made us feel like we are the only and the most important guests in whole resort. I jave the Gluteb intollerance and they really did a hard job to make me feel that I have the same options as others. The manager Mr.Prokash and his team were so nice and naturally helpful . We never expirienced that before. Mr. Remy was always coming and just asking how we are doing. Mr. Anjal, Mr. Dushan, Mr. Jorl and Mrs. Swarnali knew our names and what ate last timr and offered always something what would might be similar style as we liked before. They even stay longer than regular opening hours of the restaurant jist zi let us finish our drinks..

    Our valet parked car was returned literally covered in large bird droppings. They should put shades up to protect vehicles. I needed to get the car properly cleaned to protect from paint damage.

    Luxury stay where there is every attention to detail from the hotel and staff. Customer service remains truly excellent. Menu superb and quality of food are one of the best for any restaurant in the world. Many activities are included in your hotel booking. Superb facilities with Bose music streaming in your room. Our favourite hotel. Take time to unwind from the hectic pace of modern life in a traditional Arabic setting.

    This is probably more a faiiling on my personal Internet computer skills. As opposed to something the Hotel failed on. But i would add some additional written web page points. Thats its important to state and inform the Hotel what actual activities you wish to engage on, before you arrrive. Example this would ensure you set a Camel ride place, if customer numbers are high. As i say possibly more my web detail failing, than the hotel.

    I have stayed in UAe 26 years, and have had the pleasure and privilege of staying in your hotel a couple of tiimes before, i also treated the wifes parents to a stay also. Due to being impressed previously on all occassions with the setting, the staff professionalism, freindly helpful demeanour and attitude, basically the whole experience. On this occasion i treated my daughter and boyfriend who were on vacation from UK. Both of these guys expressed their collective satisfaction, on the setting, activities, facilities, service, attention to detail, with the staff helpful attitude being high on their enjoyment list. Guys most of my family have been lucky enough in life to have visited and stayed in many places over the years. And although many factors make up an overall pleasant experience. Its our view that without having genuinely nice, professional human beings being part of the memory. Many other positive elements could be negated. We are happy to report since you asked. That every aspect of their expectation was met. So thankyou to all the individuals who set this high standard.

    The only thing for us on this particular trip was there was a tiny bit of maintenance going on in the main pool area - but this did not make any difference to us as the private pool for our suite was so gorgeous we would not have left it anyway!

    We absolutely loved the experience of staying here. The service is absolutely first class. The accommodation is luxurious, the views beautiful and the ambience restful, peaceful and a true oasis away from the city. The food is plentiful and every meal we had was delicious with lots to choose from. The outside dining experience is wonderful. There are a few activities included and we would totally recommend the Sunset Camel Ride and Falconry.
