Star 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.

We visited the Orient restaurant at the hotel, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The service was absolutely perfect – a big thank you to Ryan Sakander Kamrula for not only serving us with a smile, but also for patiently explaining each dish and its origins. Special mention goes to bartender Murat, who treated us to a captivating presentation about the traditional Turkish drink Rika. He not only explained its history and the proper way to enjoy it, but also demonstrated the entire preparation and serving process right before our eyes – a truly unique touch that made the evening even more memorable. Delicious food, top-notch service, and a warm atmosphere – highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience the Orient not only on the plate, but also through stories and traditions. Read less
