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.

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.

This has to be one of my most favourite stays. The staff are amazing! And would like to highly Nishad from the front desk, and Tharika and Molda from Zala and Rishav from Anwa. They truly made our stay so amazing! I will definitely be back.
