My 4th stay here at the Cove Rotana RAK, and definitely the best. At midnight on my birthday morning all the staff and Vijay the delightful Manager, at the Breeze Bar, all sang Happy Birthday to me, and presented me with a cake. Then on the night time Vijay, Andrea, Karim and Deepak accompanied me outside to celebrate my birthday. They presented me with yet another cake and a gift of a mug with previous holiday pics on of themselves and me. The Breeze bar staff and Deepak are true friends for life, and work so hard at their individual locations. I spent most evenings in the Breeze bar, watching the football on TV, and sipping on cocktails concocted by Vijay and Zac. My other highlight was the Basilico Restaurant where I had a beautiful Sunday roast lunch and an evening meal. Cooked and presented to perfection. Lovely ambiance and very attentive staff with Mr Shekar the Manager. He will be missed when he leaves next month. I wish him and his family all the best in his new venture. Read less

Following friend recommendation we booked long weekend with Club Access / All inclusive, nothing was too much trouble, one bed villa with private pool was awesome. Special thanks to Amer (Reception / Check In) so friendly, Ahmed (Beach Club Lounge) ensured we stayed appropriately hydrated :-) for the whole weekend, also to Rishabh (Geust Services) demonstrating what customer care and hospitality support is all about.

Had the pleasure of staying at the Cove Rotana RAK with Dubai Eire Og recently. The hotel was fantastic in every way. The room, the service, the food and drink were first class. My son absolutely loved it as did his friends. The pools and slides provided plenty of entertainment. The staff are incredibly welcoming and we can’t wait to go back this year again. I thoroughly recommend it. Read less
