Hola a todos! not long ago was our anniversary and so my partner surprised me by taking me to this amazing resort, in the middle of the desert, with many activities, and the villas are really impressive, private pool and the bathroom I loved it, the size of the pool itself ;) no kidding having a hot bath in a full size bath, haven't seen many of those before and I have stayed in many hotels around the world.
Make your own cocktails and enjoy them by your private pool, and the sound system in the villas was amazing, our view was very particular gazelles, oryx and camels around the resort, and around the pool, at this time of the year the heat is getting unbearable, but the villa itself gives you the feeling not to leave it.
During the afternoon you can do some activities like archery, private falconry session, sunrise and sunset yoga, horse riding or a rainforest treatment in the spa.
Come back to your villa take a comforting shower and hit the bars and restaurants, we went to Thai restaurant
Safana...and the food was impressive! really tasty, when you arrive they bring you rice and safron crackers with 3 dips, chicken red sauce, coconut prawn sauce and spicy eggplant, all of them were just scrumptious!!!!
We ordered green Thai curry and red prawns curry which comes together with 3 different types of rice.
The food, the sundown in the dessert and a glass of wine next to your beloved one, made of this experience for both of us simply unforgettable! Service was good, but Rishi was actually a very genuine waiter that treated us nicely sincerely.
To complete the evening head to the Moon Bar for a drink, where you can enjoy the view of the stars while sitting in the sofas, for shisha lovers you can have it there as well.
Breakfast is included in your rate per night, and in that one I might say I was a bit disappointed with the quality of the food as some cheese and salami were getting off, as they have been left out uncovered for a while, not much variety in the buffet, and I am totally a breakfast person, and in every hotel I go I must try breakfast were mostly is very good regardless the rate of the hotel, this part was just not satisfactory for me, considering it is a 5* resort, then the food that in inclusive should keep up with the same quality.
The average night will come out in about 3000+ AED, food and drinks, and it is definitely worth it...
I you want to keep the spark alive with your other half, then surprise them with this nice treat!
It is one of those experiences that you will never forget.
We want to hear from you ...

Today was craving some sushi bits and looking for a nice place to spend the sunset with my husband and have a lovely meal, but he did not feel like sushi today so we were looking for a restaurant with more variety and just in front of the Beach, JBR we found this new spot called Catch 22, a funky place where all kind of people is welcome, families, friends and groups, with international cousine we manage to found what for the day we were looking for.
Very excited about my chose of sushi I decided for some sushi rolls: Chilli Shrimp and Unagi Shrimp Tempura. Despite is not the usual sushi we are used to, was fresh, tasty and perfect for my cravings.
