Shasha is the hub of entertainment, be it pool parties, yoga or cinema under the stars, and make sure you grab a spot here in time for the sunset views over the ocean. This hotel is a great pick for families, with spacious suites and villas with private pools available for larger parties, and an extensive kids activity programme to keep them occupied, giving you time to visit the spa for a massage to unwind.

We have just checked into a ground-floor seafront villa at the InterContinental Ras Al Khaimah, and the condition of the room is very disappointing. It is spacious and could be lovely if it were properly cleaned and maintained, but it does not feel luxurious. The first thing I noticed was hair on the floor of the dressing area, which made me question whether it had been cleaned properly before our arrival. The carpet around and beneath the bed has numerous stains. The fabric sofa in the bedroom has multiple stains, and the sofa in the living area is stained as well. The wooden floor is badly scratched and stained, with what appear to be burn marks. After seeing the condition of the room, I am almost afraid to remove the pillowcases or lift the bed linens to inspect the mattress. The tap in the bathroom near the villa entrance is so loose that the whole fixture wobbles when used. The heavy dressing-room door cannot be kept open, so it has to be opened and closed every time. There is also a loud, constant chirping noise coming from around the living-area air conditioning or curtain tracks. It sounds like a cricket, although we cannot tell exactly where it is. The noise makes it difficult to sit in that area and raises concerns about sleeping here tonight. At the price charged for a seafront villa, I expected a much higher standard of cleanliness, maintenance and comfort. The room needs significant attention to justify its luxury positioning. Read less

Absolutely wonderful stay at InterContinental Ras Al Khaimah. Everything was perfect from start to finish — the beautiful property, peaceful atmosphere, stunning views, and excellent service. A special mention to Sheila at the front desk for being so welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. The team went above and beyond to make the birthday celebration feel extra special, including surprising us with multiple cakes and thoughtful touches.
