You’re spoilt for choice when it comes to dining options, NoHo is great for an evening buzz and will transport you to trendy New York in an instant. Shasha is the hub of entertainment, be it pool parties, yoga or cinema under the stars, and make sure you grab a spot here in time for the sunset views over the ocean. This hotel is a great pick for families, with spacious suites and villas with private pools available for larger parties, and an extensive kids activity programme to keep them occupied, giving you time to visit the spa for a massage to unwind. If you don’t want to simply ‘fly and flop’, you’re only 45 minutes away from Dubai with it’s magnificent shopping centres, water parks and attractions galore.

Nourhan is amazing, I recommend her for planning an event at IHG RAK. She treats guests like family and makes sure to give them a pleasant experience.

Really liked the hotel and the infrastructure, the rooms are big and comfortable. Seaside and the pool is perfect, the water in the sea is clear. Maybe add some more sun beds next to the beach. Also they can clean better the water in the swimming pool. The main and most important thing is that staff always should smile and greet you, in this hotel service in the main restaurant Saffar was very disappointing. Hope they will make it better so we can come back next season. Really liked the beach and spa manager Martin and Hafeez, Aakash, jignesh from house keeping are so thoughtful, thank you for listening to guests and making our stay more comfortable. Read less

The hotel is really new for a year and considered it one of the most beautiful hotels in the Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah. Read less
