Fantastic staff, super welcoming and always one step ahead. We’ve had the chance to interact with several staff members, all super lovely people who made our stay special. Everything was truly spotless. Services, amenities and foo & beverage can be more expensive, but the resort is quite niche in a remote location. So probably expected

Our stay at Qasr Al Sarab will forever be one of our most cherished memories! We celebrated our wedding anniversary here, and everything was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The staff’s attention to detail truly touched us – from the warm welcome to the thoughtful personalized touches and impeccable service that made us feel so special.
