Hilton Ras Al Khaimah Beach Resort

Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates

Virgin rating

The hotel

The Hilton Ras Al Khaimah sits on a private sandy beach just over an hour away from Dubai city centre, delivering the utmost in service, accommodation and amenities. With a spectacular private bay on the north tip of the Arabian Peninsula, you’ll be overlooking the stunning, sandy beach and calm clear waters that are ideal for a splash about in. Perhaps you’ll just grab a towel and relax by the zero-entry pool, while the kids enjoy the waterslide at their own pool and complimentary access to their own club with fantastic indoor and outdoor play areas. And to round out the day, you’ll have a choice of restaurants to enjoy so no meal will be the same as the last. Perfect.

Second time in this hotel, 2 weeks is not enough. We were staying in hotel building but villas are looking also good. Area around villas are perfect for morning walks. All inclusive highly recommended! Morning walks around the bay area, clean beach, quiet swimming pool areas (at least in january), spa with finnish sauna, good food and special drinks. All you need for relaxing. Our room was very clean, beds are exellent and food in all restaurants is good. Only minus is that they allow smoking in XO bar. This is cozy, beautiful place to spend 2 weeks holiday, so 2025 we are planning to be here 3 weeks. Special thanks to: Faruk in The Kitchen (who made our anniversary dinner 1.2. very special), Faran for your polite service and kindness in Cider Bay and Nil Indro for perfect drinks in Sol bar. Monichas beautiful smile made us perfect start every morning in The Kitchen. You made our holiday so good. (Sorry guys, it took us so long to thank you in publick :) Read less

5th trip within 2 years and yet again a fabulous stay at the Hilton Hotel - sadly to be rebranded under Rixos from July therefore my review is entirely as the hotel is now HILTON - the staff are professional but friendly nothing is too much trouble should you have any requests, from the moment you arrive you are warmly welcomed, luggage taken from you and Front Office ready to check you in quickly and efficiently, my room upgrade was very much appreciated this last stay as a Hilton Honors Member, the pools and beaches are immaculate, a good choice of sunbeds, pool attendants to carry your towels to your required beds, water readily available and drinks arrive in buckets of ice, breakfast and service is relaxing and enjoyable with a huge range of food to choose from, housekeeping are discreet and rooms beautifully maintained and cleaned - I can only hope that Rixos retain all the staff and make zero changes - shame on Hilton for losing this wonderful hotel - a pity they didn't lose the two Hilton Hotels on Marjan Island both of which cater in the main for non-English clientele, allow skimpy outfits in the restaurant and not much on round the pool and topless on the beach both at best 1 star accommodation unlike Hilton Ras Al Khaimah Beach & Spa a truly 5 star Hotel Read less

I recently stayed at the hotel with my family and had a wonderful experience. The staff were exceptionally kind and helpful, and the hotel itself is lovely. I would especially like to thank Abhisek from The Kitchen restaurant for his outstanding hospitality.
