Our stay at IC RAK was nothing short of exceptional! We visited to celebrate our friend’s birthday, and from the moment we arrived until our departure, we were made to feel truly special. It was undoubtedly the right choice for such an occasion. A special appreciation goes to Michele, Gracy, Adriano, and Khizar from Front Office, who were incredibly attentive, warm, and helpful throughout our stay. Emmanuel and Rechell from the Club Lounge were outstanding—professional, knowledgeable, and always willing to go the extra mile. Our experience at Saffar Restaurant was equally wonderful. Limbu, Shamikshya, and Eindray, a lovely team member from Myanmar, took excellent care of us and made our dining experience even more enjoyable. A special mention to Sharique from Housekeeping, who was absolutely superb. The genuine hospitality and attention to detail from the entire team truly made our birthday celebration memorable. Thank you to each and every one of you for making us feel so welcomed and valued. We had a fantastic experience and will definitely be back to IC RAK! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Read less

Everything is top class , until a problem happens and then you know how the hotel would respond to this problem, this is when the hotel staff and managment are being truly tested. So short story straight i checked out from the villa and after check out by a couple of hours I found out I lost my glasses and they're a precious reading glasses and after I informed the head butler AbdulReheem he was exceptional he was like a top detective and top dedicated behaviour into not letting md go without finding it; those glasses became top priority from all the hotel staff until it was found and when it was returned to me by Abdul Reheem, I realised that i want to be always checking in hotels that have a concierge like AbdulRaheem, hotels that have a butler like AbdulReheem treat the guest with the most personalised experiences possible...

We had a wonderful stay at InterContinental Ras Al Khaimah, staying in one of the private pool seafront villas. The villa was beautiful, comfortable, and the location right by the sea made the whole experience feel incredibly relaxing and private. The beach was also really beautiful and well maintained, and we genuinely enjoyed spending time there. The resort itself has such a peaceful atmosphere, and there was always something lovely about being by the water. What really stood out to us, though, was the staff. Everyone we interacted with throughout the resort was so, so nice, welcoming, respectful, and helpful. The level of hospitality really made a difference to our stay. A special thank you to Abdelreheim from Reception, who was absolutely amazing. He was incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful, and always went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed. His friendliness really stood out from the moment we arrived. He always was attentive to every detail and made check in and checking out so smooth and easy. He was a great help of celebrating a birthday, from arranging the room to the cake to the decorations. Overall the experience would have been lacking if wasn’t for Abdel’s attentiveness. Emmanuel from Club Lounge was also wonderful, especially during teatime and canapé service. He was so friendly, attentive, professional and genuinely pleasant, and always made us feel very welcome. We would also like to thank Waseem, who was in charge of housekeeping for our villa. He was so nice and attentive, and always made sure our villa was properly looked after, clean and that we were comfortable. Eidaray from the breakfast buffet was also incredibly nice and respectful. She was always welcoming and attentive, and her kindness really added to our mornings. Overall, we had such a lovely and relaxing stay. The beautiful villa, private pool, beach, and especially the genuinely kind staff made the experience memorable. Every staff member we encountered was friendly and accommodating, which is something we really appreciated. We would definitely love to come back and stay again. Read less
