We recently stayed at Anantara Mina Al Arab RA to celebrate my wife's birthday, and it couldn’t have been more perfect! Upon arrival, we were surprised with a complimentary upgrade, which set the tone for a truly special experience. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay memorable; they were incredibly attentive and kind throughout. Huge shout out to Karin from the check-in team who went above and beyond and made our stay so enjoyable. The resort itself is a haven of peace – quiet, beautifully maintained, and the perfect spot to relax. With a private beach and an expansive infinity pool, there were plenty of places to unwind in luxury. We were also delighted by all the thoughtful touches: the complimentary cake, special surprises in the room, and little details that made us feel very special. Breakfast each morning was delicious, with a fantastic variety of fresh options. A special thank you to Ritson, who ensured that our meal was perfect and that we were always well taken care of. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate. If you’re looking for a serene, luxurious getaway with excellent service, Anantara Minal Al Arab RAK is a top choice. Highly recommended! Read less

First of all, this resort is a beautiful place with friendly staff, stylish interiors, and peaceful surroundings. We came here to escape busy city life and the daily stress of the office, which, as we understand from Anantara's brand, is what they stand for and offer. We have previously stayed at other Anantara resorts, and our experiences have always been 5-star. This time, however, there was a corporate event with a large group of people in matching t-shirts, shouting corporate slogans and generally being quite loud in an otherwise serene setting. They had dinner in the middle of the living area and sang karaoke at 10 p.m. We were disappointed that such an event would take place at Anantara, especially considering a weekend stay costing 5000 AED. This sort of disruption should not happen. Our perception of Anantara's brand is not that of a conference hotel, and such events create a negative customer experience. While we were offered a discount for our next stay, I am unsure if I would want to return, knowing there is a chance such events could happen again, and this is not the experience we paid a premium for.
