I had an incredible experience at this resort, which offers a unique blend of luxury and wildlife, all while being conveniently located close to Dubai but still feeling secluded. The private villas with heated pools were fantastic, and the wildlife such as gazelles and exotic birds added an extra layer of charm. However, I did notice some wear and tear in the decor and found that the dining options could use improvement. Overall, it's an excellent getaway with beautiful views and plenty of activities, but some aspects could be enhanced for a perfect luxury experience.
