While I did enjoy my stay I was very disappointed that the al hadera diner buffet and show was closed. Unfortunately due to school for our kids we are only able to travel in summer and we were surprised to find out on arrival that it was closed. Additionally the new pool policies are not family friendly the pool to the left was changed to adults only and closes later than the pool on the right which closed at 7 I would suggest as a guest who has been there 4 years in a row is to perhaps have the pool remain open later for all guest especially in the desert where day swimming may be limited in summer and there are also limited activities. Keeping the pool open til 10pm. This is my humble opinion as your guest and someone who has reffered hundreds of people to your hotel.

A lovely, peaceful hotel if you’re looking to get away from the city. The Adult Pool was a key feature and Jimmy at the pool bar was excellent as were the breakfast staff. The Garden Terrace room was not as luxurious as I had expected sadly although the time of year did affect this also (early sunsets, mosquitos). Overall a nice, boutique hotel.

The property is beautiful and the Restaurants are all fantastic. It’s a little piece of paradise close to the city.

For anyone looking for a stylized version of a desert oasis, the Bab al Shams will tick every box. Food, service and facilities are top-tier, and it provides a bona fide escape from the hustle and bustle of downtown Dubai. It is also perfectly situated across from the Al Qudra cycle track, which must be one of the world's best dedicated cycling facilities.

Overall a beautiful hotel. Unfortunately we were working up with workers cleaning, speaking loudly and doing ground maintenance at 7am in the morning which left a poor taste on the overall experience.
