Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates

Virgin rating

The hotel

The Rixos Al Mairid Ras Al Khaimah sits on a private sandy beach just over an hour away from Dubai city centre, delivering the utmost in service, accommodation and amenities. With a spectacular private bay on the north tip of the Arabian Peninsula, you’ll be overlooking the stunning, sandy beach and calm clear waters that are ideal for a splash about in. Perhaps you’ll just grab a towel and relax by the zero-entry pool, while the kids enjoy the waterslide at their own pool and complimentary access to their own club with fantastic indoor and outdoor play areas. And to round out the day, you’ll have a choice of restaurants to enjoy so no meal will be the same as the last. Perfect.

The pros: 1. Staff - mostly always smiling and eager to help. 2. Cleanliness - rooms and common areas were always clean 3. Water - there was alot of free bottles of water in the room and gym The cons: 1. Dated rooms - rooms need a good upgrade. 2. The restaurants - couple issues here, first the Turquoise restaurant, it's the main buffet canteen type restaurant. Always busy and in my opinion way too small for the size of this hotel. Second, food was also very bland (just my personal opinion) and cold. Third, the other restaurants were "fully booked" although everytime I walked past at different hourly intervals it was always half empty. 3. Read less
