Everything other reviewers say is true. The rooms are a little dark and the food was nothing to write home about but we loved it because it was a DIFFERENT experience, and it was an oasis away from the maddening crown.

This hotel looks absolutely amazing with the many desert huts laid out over its terrain. The architecture is wonderful. Our rooms were upgraded, probably because all the standard rooms were fully booked (the restaurant was crowded with two or three groups). The rooms we got were quite big and were in colonial style.

The lay out of the resort is nice. The staff is extremely courteous. However, there were bats inside the room. The swings in the kids play area were filthy. More
