We had a wonderful stay at InterContinental Ras Al Khaimah Mina Al Arab Resort & Spa from 23 to 25 July. From check-in to check-out, the staff were warm, professional, and always willing to help, making our stay truly enjoyable. The resort is beautiful, with stunning views, well-maintained facilities, and a relaxing atmosphere that makes it a perfect getaway. Our room was spacious, spotless, and very comfortable, and we especially appreciated the peaceful surroundings and excellent hospitality. The attentive service throughout our stay. The overall quality of the resort and the friendliness of the team made our visit memorable. The only downside was that the main pool was under renovation during our stay, which was a little sad as we were looking forward to enjoying it. However, we understand that these improvements are necessary and due to the weather conditions by that time will not enjoy as its too hot, however is not significantly affect our overall experience. Thank you to the entire team at InterContinental Ras Al Khaimah Mina Al Arab Resort & Spa for a wonderful stay. We had a fantastic and relaxing time and look forward to returning once the renovations are complete. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Read less

First of all, thank you for your warm hospitality. We really enjoyed our stay, and the hotel facilities were absolutely wonderful! However, I would like to highlight a couple of points regarding our experience: Valet & Luggage Service: Upon arrival, the valet team forgot to unload my bags and left them in the car. I ended up waiting for over an hour just to get my luggage. I would especially like to thank Ms. Lana and Mr. Shadeed for their amazing assistance, professionalism, and support in resolving this issue for me. Lifeguard Behavior: Around 12:00 PM, we went down to the beach, and the lifeguard on duty was extremely rude and provocative. His attitude was completely unacceptable, and I strongly recommend providing him with proper training on how to communicate professionally and respectfully with guests. On a lighter note, a special shoutout to Chef Shibin for his wonderful cheerful spirit and great cooperation during breakfast! Overall, it was a pleasant stay, and I hope these management points are addressed for a better experience next time. Read less

From check-in until check-out, our stay was excellent and truly memorable. First, I would like to sincerely thank Jessie for upgrading our room. She also called to check if we needed anything, and that thoughtful gesture meant a lot. It’s these small acts of kindness that make guests feel valued and encourage them to come back and share their positive experience. The entire staff was welcoming, always smiling, and genuinely helpful throughout our stay. The service was warm and professional, which made us feel very comfortable. The breakfast was also excellent and met the high standard we have come to expect from this hotel group. Thank you to everyone for making our stay so enjoyable. We will definitely be happy to return.
