The hotel
A brand new resort on Hayat Island in Ras Al Khaimah, the Intercontinental offers sea views from all rooms, giving that idyllic island feel that you’re craving from a beach holiday. Take time out on your spacious balcony with a morning coffee, overlooking the ocean, or with a sundowner from the minibar before the evening begins. You’re spoilt for choice when it comes to dining options, NoHo is great for an evening buzz and will transport you to trendy New York in an instant. Shasha is the hub of entertainment, be it pool parties, yoga or cinema under the stars, and make sure you grab a spot here in time for the sunset views over the ocean. This hotel is a great pick for families, with spacious suites and villas with private pools available for larger parties, and an extensive kids activity programme to keep them occupied, giving you time to visit the spa for a massage to unwind. If you don’t want to simply ‘fly and flop’, you’re only 45 minutes away from Dubai with it’s magnificent shopping centres, water parks and attractions galore.

View at Intercontinental RAS is the best, upgraded to one with a large balcony which is fantastic and loving it. The room is clean, neat and smells great. Given a plate of fruits, cakes and a warm welcome note that is very warm hearted. The staff from the club, concierge, restaurant, cafe are all kind and polite. Facilitate us very much. Ask for wheat bread for those on a diabetes diet, it is also given. Thank you for the extra help. Plus in the afternoon after swimming there is sand from the children's clothes they cleaned them too. The view from our balcony is extraordinary, the main swimming pool is clean and warm. The swimming pool at the IHG club is even better. The food at the Saffar restaurant is one of the best. The staff there are very helpful and kind. The food is amazing. Special mention to Lucky, Aulia, Jessica, Juni, Riecheele, David and Wayan. We will definitely come back in the future. In shaa Allah

Hotel is great but you can not rest here. There is huge construction site very close to the hotel. Buildings have been finished but they are constructing new beach or marina. Heavy equipment work all day long every day! You can hear them everywhere in the hotel! The worst is on the beach but on the swimming pool, bars, restaurants or even hotel…

Hotel is great but you can not rest here. There is huge construction site very close to the hotel. Buildings have been finished but they are constructing new beach or marina. Heavy equipment work all day long every day! You can hear them everywhere in the hotel! The worst is on the beach but on the swimming pool, bars, restaurants or even hotel rooms is not much better. If you want to spend time like on the construction site with noise and exhaust gases smell it is OK but I do not recommend that hotel temporary if you want rest!
