this hotel is based to RAK area of dubai on marjan island.
marjan island is still in production so there isn't much outside or around the hotel. you only need to look at Google maps. that being said, we didn't feel the need to leave the hotel anyway.
this hotel is located about an hour from the airport and about an hour and a half from the main dubai city.
the room was spacious, clean, with large beds, I have to mention though the pillows were awful, probably the worse ha ha.
breakfast buffet, lots of choice including rice dishes, not something I would have but others did.
I didn't think it would need to be said, but you will not find any pork (a Muslim country, they do not eat pork) I thought it was strange the amount of people I heard asking for a pork sausage π€
we tried the buffet dinner once, it was chaos, a free for all and not really something I enjoy.
there are a few restaurants to choose.
the turkish was my personal favourite, it was lovely.
my least favourite was the Italian, it was ok, nothing special.
the pools are fab, we stayed round the adults only pool, they did have a euro 2024 pool party while we were there, large screen and the kids were allowed in the pool from 4.30pm, didn't bother me too much, but there were a few grumbles from others around the pool.
this is a fab hotel, great staff, they work such long hours.
we didn't do the all inclusive upgrade as didn't feel like we needed it. paying for dinners in the restaurants was reasonable enough, I think the Thai was the most expensive about 125 uae and that was for 3 courses. wasn't expensive at all in my opinion.
thank you for having us, I would go back here, just need them to get better pillows ha ha.
