nicht empfehlenswert
Die Anlage ist meilenweit von dem entfernt, wie sie beschrieben wird. Das riesige Areal war wie ausgestorben, beim Abendessen waren wir alleine in einem großen Speisesaal, vergleichbar mit einer Bahnhofshalle, die Speisekarte war ein Fake, denn es gab nur ein Gericht und das war mässig. Das Frühstück war mehr als mäßig. Der Pool war verschmutzt und nur zum Teil gefüllt. Auch hier keine Gäste. Das weitläufige Areal hat schon längere Zeit keine Pflege erhalten. Die Einrichtung der großen Zimmer ist in die Jahre gekommen, die Fenster waren nicht zu öffnen, die sanitären Anlagen bräuchten eine Generalüberholung, lockere Wasserhähne, mässiger Wasserdruck.
Man hatte den Eindruck, dass die Bulldozer für den Abriss schon in den Startlöchern stehen. Schade, war sicherlich vor Jahren traumhaft.

Sehr großzügige und ursprünglich auch sehr schöne Anlage, die aber schon bessere Zeiten gesehen hat. Es fehlt leider an Erhaltungsreparaturen und etwas bei der Sauberkeit.

Weitläufige Anlage mit vielen Bungalows
Die Zimmer sind groß und sauber, allerdings bedarf es an einigen Stellen der Renovierung. So war einer der Lichtschalter neben dem Bett defekt, im Poolbereich sollte das Sonnendach repariert werden. Das Personal ist freundlich. Insgesamt ist die Anlage sehr weitläufig.

Great location, well situated, huge area, nice pool, very friendly staff, good management. We like to come back. We enjoyed very much the superb stay on the Dunes Resort, a derivative of Al Nahda, a Hotel like a tent village in the dessert-great!

Hotel stay
Worst experience in Al Nadha during Eid Al Adha holidays due to following reasons :
1. Swimming was not maintained at all; could see algae flaoting around
2. Both the ACs were not working at all during the summer time

Barka resort after a day in the wadis.
Kind of a hidden gem, for the price. Barka is close to several amazing Wadi hikes. This property is a unique concept and the villas are spacious. Far better than we hoped for in booking. Check it out.

Wir waren nur 1 Nacht in der Anlage. Das Zimmer war sehr geräumig und sauber. Die weitläufige Anlage ist insgesamt schon etwas veraltert aber in einem ordentlichen Zustand. Große, schmackhafte Auswahl beim Frühstücksbuffet.
