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

This is our 3rd visit to the Intercontinental at Ras Al Khaimah and yet again it didn’t disappoint. A big thank you to the General Manager, Raj, Guest Relations Manager, Michelle, Limbu/Milan and all the guys in the restaurants including Eidray ❤️ - the level of service is second to none. We went to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary and the hotel couldn’t do enough for us. The level of service was outstanding from house keeping (Surendra & Lalu), the guys around the pool and all the guys in F&B. If some food wasn’t available, chef Shibin would offer to cook it specially for us. It would nice to keep this hotel a secret but the staff work so hard to offer a wonderful experience, they need acknowledging. Already booked for next year! Read less

Five stars is too generous for this hotel InterContinental Ras Al Khaimah. All-inclusive paid in full. What followed: forgotten luggage, restaurant queues and bed sheets that were stained even after being replaced. We checked in on September 28. The staff offered to deliver our luggage to the room, then forgot about it. Nobody properly explained the layout, where we could eat or which facilities and services we could use. The impression was: you have checked in, now figure it out yourself. After October 2, many more guests arrived, and the already disappointing service deteriorated further. Restaurant orders were mixed up: you ask for coffee and receive tea. Spoons and forks were missing from the tables. Queues formed for seating. Why sell all-inclusive if guests then have to feel stressed about an ordinary meal? We paid exactly what was requested. Why should the hotel’s inability to cope with its occupancy spoil our holiday? In our room, water leaks out of the shower and spreads across the bathroom floor to the toilet. It does not drain away properly, leaving puddles. Photos are attached. The sheets were changed, but the replacement sheets had stains too. The panoramic window creaks like an old car from the 1970s. Does anyone actually check the condition of the room? During our stay, the only organised activity we saw was aqua aerobics in the pool. We did not notice any other guest activities. Management has already responded to earlier service complaints with apologies and promises to address the issues. If this review receives the same response, it will not change what we experienced during our stay. Think twice before booking. For me, this hotel did not live up to its five-star rating. I would not return. Read less
