The hotel is a very beautiful resort with a variety of lodging options, ranging from hotel rooms to villas. It also features a quieter area with a “private” pool if you book the club package. The beach is very clean, as is the entire resort. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The rooms are practically equipped with everything you need, and all have ocean views. There’s also plenty of fun for kids in the separate children’s area. The hotel offers an all-inclusive package—which is absolutely fantastic. If you want, you can even have a glass of sparkling wine for breakfast. You can get all kinds of drinks at the pool bar, beach bar, and the Saffra restaurant. The food at the Saffra Restaurant was varied and very, very good. There was fish, beef, and seafood. Simply perfect. The waitstaff were very quick and attentive. One minor drawback, in my opinion, was that when conference attendees or tour buses were being served in the hotel restaurant, it got a bit “crowded.” The hotel also offers three additional restaurants—though you have to pay for meals there. The Lebanese-Turkish restaurant comes highly recommended. Read less

Our beach vacation at the hotel was wonderful. If you're without children, a room in the Club Building is the best choice. It's very peaceful, with a cool pool, delicious à la carte breakfasts, afternoon tea, and pre-dinner cocktails. The staff are all very polite, always ready to help and resolve any issues. Special thanks to Esther! She always answered all our questions and helped us with restaurant reservations—she's the best! The lounge is always a great place to relax with coffee or juice or read a book (there's a small library). A la carte restaurants: We visited NoHo and Levant. Each has its own atmosphere, excellent service, and delicious food. A huge thanks to our waiter, Renuka, from NoHo; she made every dinner there wonderful. The Levant restaurant serves delicious traditional cuisine. We loved everything: appetizers, kebabs, and desserts. Sometimes we had to wait a long time for our order or dessert, but everything was fine. Ridho always made the best cocktails for us at the Sahar Beach Bar. He's a great bartender; his cocktails were always the best sunsets. Good luck and success to him! SPA: I had the Ras Al Khaimah Escape treatment. 2.5 hours of bliss. My therapist, Lita, was concise and professional. I have a couple of comments: it would be great to serve iced tea before the treatments, not just water like at reception. And during the treatment, I would be happy to know what they'll be doing next. I'd like the therapist to briefly explain what she's doing and what the cosmetics—the scrub and wrap—are made of. Especially the cosmetics they apply to my face. I know the spa uses Yonka and Aromatherapy cosmetics, but I learned that myself from the brochure in my room. The hotel is very beautiful, the sea is warm, everything was great! Thank you! Read less

We stayed just one night at this resort in Ras Al Khaimah, but it felt like a proper mini-break. From the moment we arrived, everything was handled with warmth and professionalism, and the whole team made us feel very welcome. Check-in was 10/10 thanks to Anis. She was so natural, friendly, and cheerful. She explained every detail perfectly and made us feel completely at ease. It’s not common to be greeted with such genuine energy, and it really set the tone for our stay. Thank you, Anis! After check-in, Zaheer took us to our room in the buggy and gave us an excellent little tour, showing us around the room and the resort. His dedication and passion were obvious, and the way he treated us was outstanding, another solid 10/10. Well done, Zaheer! During our stay, we enjoyed all the facilities, and everywhere we went the team was professional, attentive, and kind. The next morning, breakfast was delicious, with a great variety and excellent service from the whole breakfast team. At checkout, Michelle took care of us and was excellent as well. She helped us with everything we needed and made our departure smooth and pleasant. Thank you so much, Michelle! Overall, this was a truly special one-night stay. The resort is beautiful, the facilities are top-notch, and the team is what really makes the difference. We would highly recommend it and will definitely come back. Read less
