Great Setting/Hotel needs a slight makeover
The setting is amazing. The desert vista past the infinity pool is magical. Sunrises over the desert are awe-inspiring. The hotel staff was polite and efficient. The hotel itself is showing its age. Sometimes the card key to the outer doors didn't work or worked only after many tries. The rooms could use a bit of sprucing up.
The hotel and staff are incredible! It's a perfect place to unwind and enjoy the desert atmosphere. Beautiful pool, dune rides on quads, camels and horses on premises, excellent food and welcoming housekeeping service from Htet. Will be back for sure.
