About the location
Ras Al Khaimah stretches languidly along Dubai’s Persian Gulf, known for its flour-white sand and bath-temperature waters. Decorated with a handful of luxury hotels, it’s a small but perfectly formed resort an easy 45-minute drive from Dubai International Airport. It’s big on swanky facilities, with an exclusive marina and yacht club perched off the shore and a swathe of private beaches. The watersports here are fantastic and sailing trips are a favourite. If you’d rather stay on dry land, the resort has a couple of top-notch golf courses including the spotless 18-hole number at Al Hamra Golf Club. If you fancy getting a feel for the traditional UAE, your hotel can arrange 4x4 desert safari, tours of the nearby city of Oman and even trips to see the much-loved camel races.

I live next door to this hotel and they are currently playing music which can be measured at a volume of 90 decibels inside my room, at 2330hrs. This is currently twice the legal limit for the UAE. I have spoken to the duty manager Neil Robinson who has informed me he has no intention of turning the music down before midnight and then it is likely to continue until 0200hrs.
Not only is the behaviour illegal and un-neighbourly, it has actively made me want to avoid your brand i the future.

Once again we???ve decided to celebrate my husbands birthday at this hotel. Last year I wrote a very good review about them, this year it won???t be the case. The rooms continue to be great and spacious however the hotel was like a holiday package village. Crowded, service around the pool and beach were inexistant . Pool restaurant couldn???t cope with so many people and food was absolutely awful. It won???t be my first choice next year! Such a deceiving experience for the price we paid!

We had a lot of expectations from our first reunion outside India. So we booked this property to make it even more memorable and were hoping that the stay will add a new dimension to our excursion.
Alas!! It went a different way altogether.
Large property with big rooms overlooking the blue/green (algae infested) water.
Breakfast spread was disappointing compared to the other luxury properties I have stayed in, with almost no Indian choices. ( keep in mind that they have a lot of visitors from the subcontinent )
It certainly lacked the personalised touch of hospitality provided by luxury resorts.
Also, they CHARGED US FOR THE MISSING BATHROBES EVEN AFTER REASSURANCE FROM THEIR SIDE. ( how can they claim to be a part of luxury resorts while doing these sort of things )
To summarise everything, even the delusional can???t deny the illusion of grandeur created by the hotel.
( 2 stars for the tennis court ..... just in case if you are curious )
