🌟 A truly exceptional experience at Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort by Anantara! From the moment we arrived, the service has been absolutely outstanding. Every staff member has gone above and beyond to ensure our comfort — constantly checking in, offering help, and making us feel genuinely welcomed and cared for. What touched me the most was today, 2nd of September — Vietnam’s National Day, marking 80 years of our independence. The resort team surprised us with a beautifully prepared cake and a handwritten message celebrating this special occasion. It was thoughtful, heartwarming, and incredibly meaningful to me as a Vietnamese guest. This kind of hospitality — warm, attentive, and truly personal — is what sets Qasr Al Sarab apart. Thank you for making this stay so memorable.

Magical stay! We celebrated an Anniversary & were thoroughly spoiled! Thank you so much to the entire @QasrAlSarabAnantara team for taking care of us. Views & nature is breathtaking, property is cinematographically perfect/ aesthetic, & above all the team take care of you in every way possible. Rooms were cleaned to perfection & facilities in general are spotlessly maintained. The attention to detail in service is unparalleled. Arun who personally took care of us— made sure our every needs were met. Always a text away; always genuinely smiling and happy to help. Arun was 10 steps ahead of everything & everyone! Our every needs & whims were catered to. Special thank you to: Arun, Phiona/Kiki/ Chantel & Mary Love(from Food & Beverages), Moula from the Gift Shop, Jeremiah & every bellman/buggy driver who carted us around the property in the blistering heat, the warm/lovely ladies & Corinne from the magical Spa team, Shalika & the activities team who took us on the most epic ‘Dune bashing’ drive and ‘Night walk’ through the desert, Tariq who safely drove/ chauffeured us to and from the airport, & finally thank you to (Fitness Coach) Boniface who led us through an (amazingly) intense personal training gym session! The entire team (including those who were not named🙏) were professional & radiated warmth, care, & hospitality. Shukran. Thank you so much ☺️

I highly recommend this hotel! We had an amazing time celebrating both our anniversary and birthday here. The rooms were absolutely amazing, and the staff went above and beyond — even providing us with a cake, which showed such wonderful attention to detail. A special thanks to Jeremiah, Jay, Alex and the resort manager Michele for making our stay truly unforgettable! Thank you ! We will come back in the winter!

We cannot tell you how much we loved everything about our stay here. We came for one night, ended up staying 2, could have stayed so much longer. We had 10 star service at every aspect of our visit. We were made to feel welcomed and special. The scenery was breathtaking. So lucky to have found this beautiful place. Thank you to all who made us feel so special.
