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.

The food is great. Entertainment program was decent with a great activities. Water polo, table tennis and other sport activities. Animators Tatiana, Samy and Osmel conducted these games and are very enthusiastic. Cycle tour is a very creative idea and you can take it every day. Seo has cleaned the room very thoroughly. All the waiter were awesome.

I want to mention Seo, the woman that cleaned our room. She was very caring and smiley. Her service was very good. Also, animators are very awesome, Tatiana, Samy and Osmal. (I won Samy in ping-pong haha) Food, drinks, fruits are very tasty. Monray gave us an interesting cycle tour around the hotel. The service is awesome and waiters are kind.

Special thanks to the wonderful staff — Cecilia, Dally, and Nariman at the reception were incredibly kind and helpful, and Dina at the restaurant always greeted us with a warm smile. The housekeeping team also did a fantastic job keeping our room spotless. Everything was perfect — we truly felt cared for and relaxed. Can’t wait to come back! Read less

We have been to Marjan Island Rhas Al Khaimah before (Double tree by Hilton,Hamton Hilton, The Cove Rotana).All great.So we highly recommend all of these but never Rixos again! Read less
