Virgin rating

The hotel

The Rixos Al Mairid 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.

We had a good time joining in the activities, they made sure there was always something fun going on. The rest of the staff were all really nice and helpful, which made our stay smooth. Especially, I'd like to highlight the exceptional service we received from the reception staff, particularly Rizvoz. His helpfulness and friendly attitude really brightened our first day and set a wonderful tone for our entire stay. The hotel was good too, comfortable and had everything we needed. It was a solid holiday overall and we're looking to coming back! Read less
