The Chokhi Dhani Desert Camp is a well-managed itinerary that covers some of the main attractions of being amidst the mesmerizing sand dunes of Rajasthan. We were welcomed to the resort with their signature warmth and homeliness. The best time to reach the resort is around the afternoon when snacks and welcome drinks were served. Immediately after, the Jeep Safari to the sand dunes followed which was once in a lifetime experience! Being at the Sam Sand Dunes was like a dream come true but at the same time a bit disappointing since it has been highly commercialized. Too much of desert vehicles, smoke, pollution, numerous activities such as parasailing, motor-operated paragliding, and whatnot!  Although encouraging tourism in such desolate places is also commendable but spoiling the landscape in the process is somewhat sad. Anyhow, a sober camel ride on the dunes was quite charming for us plus just sitting on the sand, waiting for the change of the colours of the sky with a huge sun setting right in front of our eyes was the ultimate experience! Reaching back to the resort and another traditional welcome with aarti and tilak made our day. There were a few hours to relax before dinner time and this time is not difficult to kill as there are numerous activities going on around the resort like puppet show, magic show or just traditional music. If nothing else, just a walk around the place with the rustic, village-like feel under the starry night is a pleasure. Dinner time is again the customary thalis laid out in a community format with the typical chaupal feeling, Rajasthani folk dances, acrobatics and folk music. Truly an eventful day and an eventful end of day!! The breakfast next day was of a medium standard specifically if compared to the authentic dinner the day before. On the whole, this was a good take for first timers, however, there could be more options to explore in terms of sand dune experiences. 

Adventure in the Middle of a Desert!  

We stayed here in Jan.2020.
The Hotel property is good, though not as beautiful and shining as shown in the pictures. The service was pathetic. There was no buffet breakfast as claimed. In fact when we went for breakfast the breakfast hall was completely dark and no dish was prepared (forget the buffet), no lights were on, tables laid. After some time they did prepare something but that delayed our site seeing program.
Another horrible experience was yet to come... while we were busy visiting places in and around Jaisalmer, the hotel manager called us and insisted on checking us out from there and accommodating in some other hotel IN OUR ABSENCE, to suit their bookings, though we had prebooked our room well in advance. 
The room maintenance was very low. Cleaners had to be reminded again and again to come and clean the room at least once a day.
There was so much of noise, loud music that we could not have a proper sleep also.
Never had such terrible experience in any economy hotel also.

Terrible experience

Pros:
1. Location 2. Food 3. Good for vegetarians and tee totellers 4. Good traditional look and feel

Cons:
Service at breakfast and dinner. Need more waiters and space. Gets cluttered and you have to fight for space, food service also gets very slow.

Other tips:

Jeep safari a must, very enjoyable went early at 630 am to see sunrise and drive in sand dunes. We hired jeep privately as was costly thru hotel. 

Good but can be great if service improved

It's extremely out of the city near the Sam Sandunes and may be good for desert safari and food (dinner only), but even after spending for deluxe tents we got used shampoos, that too after asking for multiple times. Compared to other tents in the area it gives more traditional look as per it's famous name with cultural activities happening there in the evening.

Visit only for food

We stayed atchokhi dhani desert Camp at sam with my family on 8th August 2018. The weather was pleasant cloudy but no rain. The resort was neat and clean the Service was good. The management take care of us. They organised Camel Desert Safari and night musical and dance programme. The food had lot of variety and delicious too. In total we enjoyed the stay.

Awasome resort

The camp is located in Sam sanding before sun set point around 40km from Jaisalmer city.   our stay dàte day 10 or 12 couple had booked so we had good access and attention. Mr pradeep  took a good care for all couples . Camel safari was great fun . The cultural program was good, we enjoyed it a lot. Food had rajasthan taste like lair sangria, Papad curry, Daal baati, Churma and khichra was very tasty. The night star gazing was amazing experience . Chokhi Dhani is amazing camp we found in Sam .it's totally safe.  I will recommend this camp for family  and couples somebody who wants to be stay safe. 

Nice and safe resort well maintained 

We stayed for one night. The whole setup of the camp was amazing. Living and cultural activity area is separate. Camps are really good and you get real camp feeling. Evening camel ride and morning Jeep safari was excellent although you need to pay which is not that expensive. Up to certain distance the camel ride is complementary and if you want to go further distance then extra charges. Cultural activity was great. Dinner was traditional and was amazing. Overall it was a great stay.
