InterContinental Ras Al Khaimah Mina Al Arab Resort & Spa is a great place to Stay! Thank you for the warm welcome and a delightful stay. The rooms are incredibly comfortable and the breakfasts are a delight. Both food and accommodation were exceptional, I have very much enjoyed my time here. Despite the fact it was busy the first couple of days, I never felt it and really had the change to relax and unwind. An address to recommend, that's for sure and I hope I have the opportunity to come back one day. I want to thank the entire team, your service was great, you thought of everything. Special thank you to Paula (reception), Rechelle (Club Lounge breakfast) and Sumudu (Club Lounge evening).

Our stay was truly pleasant from start to finish. The entire staff were very friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Since we were three people, they thoughtfully offered us an extra bed right away without us even having to ask, which made us feel well taken care of. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and relaxing, and the food was very good especially the dinner, which we really enjoyed. What impressed us the most was the honesty and professionalism of the staff. I accidentally forgot my bag with USD inside, and after about two hours, the hotel called us to inform that my belongings had been reported to the lost and found. We immediately went back and received my cash with the exact same amount.
This experience showed the hotel’s excellent service, integrity, and genuine care for guests. We truly felt safe, valued, and comfortable during our stay, and we would definitely recommend this hotel and happily stay here again.
