Myself and my wife visited the Intercontinental RAK for 6 nights in the Club section of the hotel. On arrival we had been upgraded to a beautiful Sea View Villa which was spacious and had a lovely balcony with a day bed overlooking the estuary. As there was a birthday celebration during our stay, a delicious birthday cake and balloons had been set up for our arrival. The Club Lounge was immaculate with a mix of comfy sofas and tables to dine at. The food offering was excellent, the breakfast buffet serving continental and an à la carte menu for ‘cook to order’ hot options with a mix of local and international food. Afternoon tea was served between 14.30 and 16.30 with a delicious range of sandwiches, scones and cakes. From 17.30, drinks and canapés were served. There was a different selection every night with three cold canapés from the buffet along with local delicacies, salads and cheeses. Three hot canapés could be chosen from a menu and the team always offered more of these if you wished. Alcohol was served complimentary from 17.30 for 2 hours, with the option to charge to the room outside of these hours. The Club Pool was quiet and relaxed, with the pool being large and therefore, never felt crowded. It was not too busy during our stay so there was never any problem getting sun loungers. The Club team came round to get drinks orders between service in the lounge, but would be more than happy to deliver drinks to the pool if you ordered inside. The Club Team were amazing and really made the holiday for us both. Esther on reception was helpful, attentive and very personable, going the extra mile to make our stay memorable and special. Shown on my birthday by cake, bubbles and a decorated table, as well the team singing happy birthday to me! The rest of the team also went above and beyond with their exceptional service. Whether this was making cocktails, serving coffees or making sure we were always happy and never left without anything we required. We will be sure to visit this hotel and the Club Lounge again soon.
