Beautiful venue with excellent service

We stayed for two nights and had an excellent stay. Service was very attentive yet discreet. Pool area is beautiful and the concierge goes out of his way to make the stay a memorable experience. Spa area is good and so is the gym. Only negative is the food which was a bit disappointing, we tried both restaurants and although OK, they did not leave any impression compared to other restaurants in Abu Dhabi.

This stay was peaceful, tranquil and away from it all but still close enough to taxi back and forth to Abu Dhabi for our Formula 1 event. The workout and spa facilities were amazing and we used them every day. The sunrise camel ride in the desert was absolutely a must do and provided us a beautiful experience. We witnessed a 120 on horse raise that was in progress. Truly an amazing and unique experience. I cannot say enough about the staff and management team. Thank you so much and we will be back.

I spent seven nights at Al Wathba Desert Resort, and while the property and service were truly exceptional, the value of the half-board package was a major disappointment. The staff were outstanding, some of the best service I've ever experienced, and made my birthday incredibly special with thoughtful touches, personalized desserts, and warm wishes throughout the day. Special thanks to Asanka, Samikshya, and Ishak for going above and beyond. The resort itself is peaceful, luxurious, and beautifully maintained, and housekeeping kept the room spotless and welcoming. However, the half-board package cost $628 USD per person for seven nights (over $1,250 for two), which felt like very poor value. We essentially paid close to $100 daily for a single meal from a half-board menu that was much more limited than the regular menu, and the inconsistent food quality often resulted in us not finishing our dishes. In-room dining and the standard menu meals tasted significantly better but were not included, so we still spent 100s more in additional meals. There was also frequent confusion among staff about what the package covered, which became frustrating. If I return, I would absolutely not choose this package again. I also had some sanitation concerns with the breakfast buffet, as one section of uncovered food had multiple flies around it and staff nearby didn't intervene. Overall, I had a relaxing and memorable stay, but the dining issues keep this from being a 5-star experience.
