Telal Resort Al Ain

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.

We can’t express how much we love the place. The staff was amazing, **Thannkkk yoouuu Moaty*** for making our stay excellent by going over and beyond with your service. Also thank you Aqib for being super nice to us. The place was super beautiful, villas are super private and clean, the private patio and outdoor area with the villa. The list of activities and the quality is amazing. They send you with a guide on your own as a couple that takes you to the activities of your choosing. The view and the vibe of the swimming pool is beautiful. Can’t wait to come back again with our friends. ~ Salem & Suha

We all loved the staff, from reception, drivers, gym/pool staff, dining staff, housekeeping staff, etc. All very very friendly. The views from the Gazelle one-bedroom villas are breathtaking. The rooms are perfect, with amazing A/C, comfortable beds, and beautiful bathrooms. The terrace has great seating overlooking the dunes, with a stunning firepit. Sitting outside all you hear is wildlife and the watering of the beautiful trees. We genuinely didn't want to leave. The rooms were very clean and did not smell anything other than clean.

The effort of the staff was great. They did everything possible to make us feel special. We also loved the location and the surroundings. We loved the romantic dinner set up. Rooms were great. Amazing privacy.
