Upgraded us to a Pool view room with a balcony, gave us a complimentary cake because we were celebrating our anniversary. Made our stay memorable. FO Mgr Hadi was really a gentleman, kudos to him and his entire team for making this stay so memorable. The staff is really really really polite. I will definitely visit them in winter.

The hotel has just undergone some renovations and upgrades. The quality of the facilities is amazing....everything from the room layout, to the common grass area, the gym, the pool overlooking the desert and the bar which has a bit of a speakeasy vibe.. Staff was very friendly and the check-in and check-out process was very smooth. I love the fact this hotel is pet friendly....amazing spot to bring your furry friend. Lastly, fantastic spread of the breakfast buffet...100% worth the price.

This is one of the most wonderful places we have ever been. The hotel is wonderful in every way!
The staff is incredibly kind, helpful, smiling. The level of comfort in the rooms is beyond all expectations - the softest blanket, a comfortable huge bed, a cool bathroom.
The pool is a separate bonus, the atmosphere of an oriental fairy tale in everything.
And what dinners... Mmm.
In general, you definitely need to go!
And if you add the location to everything, then you will not want to go back to the bustle of the city at all.

Very beautiful hotel! It's an honor to be the first guests of this hotel. Everything is a hundred times better than expected! The staff are very enthusiastic and kind, and you can see that everyone is doing their best to make us experience better service. Thank you for the generosity of the hotel. We were pleasantly surprised to be upgraded to a suite and given camel riding, sand bottle painting and other interesting experiences. The food prepared by the restaurant is exquisite and delicious. Even though there are not many customers at the beginning of the opening, the hotel's preparations are not compromised at all, which impressed me deeply. The two days here will be the most unforgettable memories of the trip, especially the bonfire in the desert, where we stayed from dusk until dark - Desert Princess 2-hour experience. The children also had a lot of fun and will definitely come again if they have the chance! Thank you again for your efforts and I hope Aldhafra Resort will become better and better!

The location is average, but the price is cheap, but dining in the hotel is very expensive. If I had known that it would be a little bit expensive, it would be better to book a hotel in the desert, because it is so far away from the city! But those who pursue cost-effectiveness should be very satisfied. First of all, other desert hotels are really cheap.

Location 3 is because it is difficult to access unless it is a rental trip.
Since it's a family trip, there are 2 rooms, so I'm writing 2 reviews.
I recommend you to visit the Liwa Desert as well.
Breakfast is alright. Dinner is not recommended.
In this review, I will post pictures of the Liwa Desert.
The picture is the Liwa Desert, about an hour away from the Tiraliwa Hotel.

It's very quiet, but there are too few people. The breakfast buffet has become a la carte.

It's a bit old, but it's cheap, the consumption is relatively low, and the price/performance ratio is okay, it's relatively remote, and you need to drive

This hotel is out in the desert, and we had a very interesting authentic and traditional experience. The accommodation, facilities, food and in particular the restaurant staff were nothing short of outstanding. Out the back of the hotel on the sand, there is a potter with a wheel where you can make some traditional Arabic pottery. You can also watch a sand artist at work, go on a camel trek or have some henna art done on your hands and arms, all provided by the hotel for their guests. The decor, soft music, 24 hour gym and the food was phenomenal. The beautiful swimming pool that looked like it was flowing out into the desert was a joy to use, and all I can say is that it is an absolutely fabulous place to stay. Also the cleaning staff were attentive and thorough, especially Deepak and Shanthi
