Telal Resort Al Ain

Trully exceptional experience exceeding the price. Very friendly and helpful staff, wonderful food, tidy rooms, great amenities, extraordinary surroundings, lots of privacy with very few visitors - already recommended to my friends and I’ll be back;-).

We stayed in a 1 bedroom villa, it was outstanding, right in the desert, gazelle were walking past our patio. The room itself was really spacious and the quality of the room and bathroom was excellent, with stone bath and solid wooden furniture. Nothing hadn't been thought about. We ordered room service for dinner, which we ate outside as we didn't want to leave the villa, The food was delicious. This hotel is dry but they allow you bring your own alcohol to have in your room. The pool area is made to look like an oasis, a really nice touch and there are lots of trees so the wildlife is abundant. Can't wait to return.

The location is absolutely breathtaking and incredibly peaceful. I truly admire the resort's dedication to preserving this natural habitat, allowing both wildlife and guests to thrive in harmony. It’s the perfect retreat for anyone seeking an authentic desert experience, free from gimmicky tours. The freedom to walk around the property and explore the dunes is a highlight. I also appreciated the policy against guest vehicles on-site—everything is within walking distance, and for those who prefer not to walk, the staff are always happy to provide transportation. Complaints about the short walks are unfounded, in my opinion. Speaking of the staff, they were the best part of our stay. Their kindness and professionalism were unmatched; they made us feel truly welcome and cared for. Every single one of them deserves a raise! Regrettably, we only stayed one night but fully intend to return when passing through Abu Dhabi again. If you’re hesitant about booking, don’t be—you won’t regret it.

The resort is located in a very beautiful reserve, and the hotel is peaceful and beautifully decorated. The pool looks fabulous is so relaxing. The staff is also very attentive and go out of their way to make your stay lovely.

The location superb at the border of the desert. Gazelles are seen often. And a lot of birds which wake you up in the morning (very nice). Room is excellent. Staff is very friendly. Rooms/tents are not close to the reception so you need to call reception for a pickup. Walking is also possible but when the temperature rises walking up the hill is tough.
