Another excellent stay in the Intercontinental Ras Al Khaimah with the Club Lounge and adult pool being the highlight of my stay. The adult pool is as always an oasis of peace and quite special set up rare in the UAE. Excellent service from everyone at the Club Lounge, special mention to Esther, Paula and the club manager gerilyn and Emmanuelle and Michelle. I am probably misspelling the names and I don't remember the rest of the names of the waiters/barmans but all lounge staff are excellent. They are a class act and so hard working. The Club lounge offering is solid with afternoon tea being the highlight for me. The pastry chef is best in class. I was assigned a very spacious and well appointed suite with sea views (villa 20). Totally recommend suites for space and quietness. Housekeeping was excellent as always. The hotel was busy during my stay but it never felt crowded and getting a sun lounger was never a problem Levant restaurant was very solid. If you are considering a holiday in UAE, don't hesitate to try the hotel as it is the best hotel in Ras Al Khaimah by a mile. No contest. Read less

I have stayed at InterContinental Ras Al Khaimah several times, and every visit is just as wonderful as the last. The hotel offers everything I look for: relaxation, comfort, cleanliness, a beautiful atmosphere, and a lovely signature scent throughout. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. Breakfast is delicious with plenty of variety, and I especially appreciated the chef preparing special meals to suit my dietary requirements. The rooms and suites are spacious and comfortable, and the swimming pool area is among the most beautiful in the UAE, with several pools to enjoy. A special thank you to Mr. Mohammed Shadeed, the Hotel Manager, for his warm welcome, constant presence at reception, and genuine dedication to guest satisfaction. My thanks also go to the chef for his thoughtful attention. A hotel I genuinely love and always look forward to returning to! Read less
