Amazing experience in the hotel - one of the best staycations in Dubai. We ended it with Hydro Sports jet ski with my 7 year old son - it was a blast! Can’t wait to be back and do the mangrove kayak. Thank you to everyone in Anantara RAK, you made our stay super special!

I was incredibly lucky to win 5 nights at this resort, as part of Destinology's 20th Anniversary competition. I didn't know much about Ras Al Khaimah before I went, and I had never been to the UAE before, but after staying here, I would go back in a heartbeat! This hotel felt so luxurious. We stayed in the Premier Room, which had a lovely view of the hotel grounds and mangroves. We loved just sitting out on the balcony. I didn't stay at the oversea villas but they looked incredible from the outside! Hopefully I will have a chance to stay in one at some point! The food here was amazing, there was so much choice at Breakfast and dinner. My favourite part about this hotel was the beach. I loved that an attendant allocated you a sunbed. I've stayed in hotels before where sunbeds have been an issue and I thought this was a great idea. We never had any trouble getting a bed on the beach or the pool. The sea was perfect for swimming, nice and warm with a soft sandy bottom, so no need to wear swim shoes. I want to especially thank Eimran & Ibrahim, who were both friendly and helpful, always making sure we had what we needed. I also did the Mangrove kayaking tour, which was a great experience. One of the stand out things about this hotel, was the staff. They were all amazing. From Hasib, Ayo & Ksema at Sea Breeze. Baljinder on the buggies and Alia from reception, they all had exceptional customer service. I've probably missed some names but everyone we spoke to was a credit to the hotel. And I know the hotel doesn't control the weather, but that was also perfect. As someone who lives in the UK, I always appreciate the sunshine! I really hope to visit again in the future. Read less
