Five Star Alliance Client Reviews - Jumeirah Bab Al Shams Desert Resort and Spa

Paula C., South Africa. May, 2006

"Loved the hotel and would love to return - I was there too short a time. Only problem was I requested twin bets and got a king instead. Not ideal when I was travelling with a friend. Loved being in the desert. The food was exceptional as was the rooftop bar. "
