Shasha is the hub of entertainment, be it pool parties, yoga or cinema under the stars, and make sure you grab a spot here in time for the sunset views over the ocean. This hotel is a great pick for families, with spacious suites and villas with private pools available for larger parties, and an extensive kids activity programme to keep them occupied, giving you time to visit the spa for a massage to unwind.

From the moment we arrived at InterContinental Ras Al Khaimah, everything felt perfect. We chose this hotel to celebrate our anniversary, and it turned out to be one of our best travel experiences ever. The check-in was smooth and friendly, and we were delighted with a complimentary upgrade to a stunning panoramic room with a breathtaking sea view. The room was spotless, spacious, and beautifully designed — exactly what you’d expect from a true five-star resort. What touched us the most was the thoughtfulness of the staff. Everyone we encountered — from reception to housekeeping and the restaurant team — was genuinely warm, attentive, and eager to make our stay special. The romantic decorations and small touches showed how much they care about creating memorable experiences for their guests. Breakfast was delicious with a wide variety of choices, and the resort itself is calm, beautifully maintained, and ideal for relaxation. We loved every moment and felt truly pampered from start to finish. Thank you to the wonderful team at InterContinental Ras Al Khaimah for making our anniversary so memorable — it was an experience full of warmth, beauty, and care. We’ll definitely be back soon! 🌺 Read less

We have just come back from our honeymoon for 10 days at this hotel 5th till 15oct from start to finish the hotel was amazing !!! But what makes this hotel is the staff ! They are incredible, nothing is a problem, always smiling and willing to help in anyway !!! All rooms are sea facing ours was on 4th floor nice views, the hotel itself is kept spotless, the food is excellent, the main restaurant offers every possible dish to keep you happy and excellent quality ! they also have a couple of à la carte restaurants we eat in both and they were lovely, the beach area is lovely white sand and you could always get a sun bed. ( One small niggle the main pool is huge and could do with some attention as there are quite a lot of tiles missing off the floor and the sides and we’re quite sharp if you bought your foot on them )There is not a lot to do outside the hotel unless you book some trips. Dubia is a must !!! All in all brilliant Honeymoon great hotel amazing staff !!! Thanks again Chris & Deb room 467 Read less
