Simply amazing! This hotel is beautiful, well kept, clean and luxurious. There’s loads to do - but it’s the staff and the food that will impress you most. If you like buffet food then you will not be disappointed – the range of foods on offer is immense and great quality. I however, prefer a la carte – and I can honestly say that I have never been more impressed with the quality, presentation and service in every one of the restaurants. It was Michelin quality without a doubt. But the biggest and most heartfelt thanks goes to the staff. No matter what department they worked in and whatever the interaction, nothing was too much trouble. We arrived at the hotel on the day that the first missile strikes were carried out over Dubai and therefore a 6 night stay turned into an 11 night stay in one of the best hotels that I personally have ever had the pleasure to stay in. Emergency alerts and drone strikes numerous times daily did not disrupt the service that we were provided with, it was very humbling. Despite the staff also experiencing the uncertainty and the disruption that the US-Iran war was causing them, we were still shown the very highest level of service. I cannot praise the staff, hotel and management enough. I sincerely hope that we will be able to return at some point in the future. Special mentions to Phu (from the buffet restaurant), Ali, KB and Ashraf from the pool bar, who looked after us daily, Azizbek from the courtyard bar – I hope you get home in time for your wedding as planned! And Jierby (sorry if it’s misspelled) you were instrumental in making my birthday one of the most memorable ever. I would love to return one day. 5 stars all the way Read less

Would 1000% recommend Rixos. I have just got back from an extended trip with my family and we cannot fault the hotel one bit, especially considering the circumstances at the moment.

Would 1000% recommend Rixos. I have just got back from an extended trip with my family and we cannot fault the hotel one bit, especially considering the circumstances at the moment. In particular the attention and time the staff took with our little girl was incredible. A special mention to Wendel in the courtyard, the staff at Peoples, Maria, Kevin, Karmina, Christine etc. they were absolutely amazing. A special shout out has to go to Romell, our little girls favourite person. His kindness towards our daughter was absolutely phenomenal. We cannot speak highly enough of him. We can’t wait to come back. Read less

This hotel is truly luxurious. From the warm and informative greeting when you first arrive to the many choice of fine food restaurants and other amenities you truly feel well looked after. Added to this, we came just before the war on Iran began. The staff stayed calm, positive and helpful throughout such a difficult time. We would 100% love to… Read more
