Al Badayer, Al Madam hotel rooms at the Independent

"This hotel lives up to its name “retreat”. The area is so peaceful and lovely. The team kind and welcoming from the outside guard to the reception desk to the waitstaff. It was just what I needed and the price was reasonable for everything but the good. The breakfast is overpriced for a standard buffet that you find in most hotels in the region."

"Secluded getaway 30 minutes from Dubai! Amazing staff, pool, stay!"

"From April 12 - 14, we booked the bubble room with temperature controlled private pool (D01) and the experience was amazing. For us, we did not run into any hiccups, especially getting there from Dubai. From the staff, the property, the food they provided us to grill, privacy, and overall nature, Moon retreat is well worth a try. Thank you Moon Retreat team. "
