INTERCONTINENTAL RAS AL KHAIMAH MINA AL ARAB RESORT & SPA

I feel incredibly fortunate to have chosen InterContinental Mina Al Arab Resort & Spa to celebrate my beautiful mother’s birthday. From the moment we arrived and were warmly welcomed by the valet team until the time we said our goodbyes, every moment of our stay was exceptional. The resort is stunning, and our oceanfront villa was simply unforgettable. Everything was immaculate, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. The food, dining options, and overall value for money exceeded our expectations. What truly made our stay special was the incredible team. Thank you for making my mother feel so loved and celebrated. A special thank you to the team who arranged the beautiful birthday surprise in our villa, the front desk staff, the valet team, the golf cart drivers, and the managers we had the pleasure of meeting. Special thanks to the wonderful team at NoHo Restaurant for the birthday cake. Special thanks to Chef Shibin for taking such great care of my mother at breakfast, Yousef for the delicious coffee, and Siva, Limbu, Akendra, Rama, and everyone else who contributed to the birthday and farewell cakes and provided such exceptional service. Your genuine warmth, kindness, and attention to detail made this celebration unforgettable. We couldn’t have chosen a better place to celebrate such a special occasion, and we can’t wait to return.

Good vibes, good vibes, good vibes. This was my first impression when I walked into Intercontinental Resort Mina Al Arab, Ras Al Khaimah. All the staff in the resort served us phenomenally. A special shoutout to the following staff members: Mr. Faraz (altruistic), Mr. Adriann (professional and polite), Mr. Amoon (very friendly, great communicator), Ms. Kuljeet (super friendly and warm), Mr. Kenneth (huge thank you to him for being so accommodating and supportive), Mr. Shibin (the amazing chef, so friendly and polite), Mr. Limbu (very progessional), Mr. Tendai (friendly and helpful), Ms. Jessie (super friendly and kind). We stayed in a twin room. It was magnificent! I loved the views of the pool and beach. Balcony was quite wide and comfortable. Great beds. Amazing lighting and controls in the room. Bathroom was clean. BUT, be a bit careful when adjusting the temperature of the shower. It may take some time and be confusing initially. Great seating options in the room: desk & chair, couch, bed. This resort has the best amenities that I've ever seen. The beach was very beautiful especially during sunset. There was a kids pool and adults pool- both very well-crafted. Fitness Centre had a great gym and superb tennis court. Very friendly staff there! Boutique shop and other amenities were avaialable too. Option to borrow a cycle from the resort and ride outside the resort was available. A few amazing restaurants and cafes were setup in the resort. Buffet breakfast was marvelous with widespread variety of multicuisine foods. Definitely high value for money here. Amazing location as well in RAK. I recommend you stay here for at least 2 nights to make the most out of the experience.

I recently had the pleasure of staying once again at the InterContinental Ras Al Khaimah, and overall it was another very enjoyable experience. The facilities and grounds are beautiful, offering a relaxing and luxurious setting with excellent amenities throughout the resort. I was fortunate to receive an upgrade to an Ocean View Villa, and the view was simply breathtaking. Waking up each morning to uninterrupted views of the sea was a real highlight of the stay. The villa itself was spacious, comfortable, and well-appointed. While it remains a fantastic accommodation option, some aspects of the property are beginning to show their age and could benefit from refurbishment to bring them back to the standard expected of a flagship InterContinental resort. What continues to set InterContinental apart for me, and why it remains my favourite brand within the IHG family, is the exceptional quality of its staff. Time and time again, the people make the difference, consistently delivering a level of service that many other hotel chains—and even some fellow IHG brands—struggle to match. A special mention and sincere thank you must go to **Gerilyn in the Club Lounge**. Her dedication, professionalism, and attention to detail are truly outstanding. She works tirelessly to ensure every guest has an exceptional experience, always going above and beyond to make the lounge welcoming, comfortable, and memorable. Team members like Gerilyn are a credit to both the hotel and the InterContinental brand. Despite signs that parts of the property could benefit from some updating, the combination of stunning views, excellent facilities, and truly world-class service means I would be very happy to return and recommend the resort to others.

Fantastic stay, great service from the team. Excellent location

Stunning resort and views at every angle, also the hospitality and service was top tier - special thank you to Zee at reception, Ms Hilal and Sue from Levant&Nar for their outstanding service

I'd like to write a positive review about our stay at the hotel during our vacation. The hotel was wonderful, but the incredible staff made it even better. I want to say a special thank you to everyone!! A big thank you to Haifa, who made our stay even better. A huge thank you to the wonderful housekkeping M Waseem, who always kept our villa clean. We also appreciate the wonderful roses. We really enjoyed the breakfasts and the people who work in the restaurant, namely Chef Shibin, Nadi's wonderful omelets, and the delightful waiters Yossef and Abnihav. We absolutely loved the dinners at the NOHO restaurant. A huge thank you to Renuka and Falguni. The people who work there made our vacation: they are so kind and responsive. Thank you to the hotel staff for their hospitality! P.S Sofiia♥️

Exceptional is an understatement. I truly believe this hotel represents the finest service in the world. Every interaction is delivered with effortless grace, genuine warmth, and flawless attention to detail, making us feel valued at every moment. They have set a standard of hospitality that, in my experience, is simply unmatched. This is not just outstanding service—it is the highest bar to which every luxury hotel should aspire. With special thanks to Esther and Emmanuel who looked after us so incredibly well - as did all of the staff. This is our second time here and we stayed in one of the villas - again, they are outstanding. I also used the spa and had a wonderful massage. We will return again next year - thank you Intercontinental RAK 🙏 From the Risdon family.

I stayed twice in June during long stop-overs in UAE, each time it was a 3 day stay. This was my 5th stay in the hotel and it was as good as always. Excellent all around experience. The club experience is fantastic and a no-brainer for adults wanting to enjoy a peaceful pool and overall upmarket environment with fantastic service and great food and drinks. As a diamond ambassador, I am always treated really well. Special mentions to gerilyn, ester, paula, the waiter from Zambia (sorry I cannot recall your name!), and all the staff in the club which were all around excellent. The adult only club pool was as always an oasis of tranquility The afternoon tea at the club is always the highlight. I find the hotel much better than the Waldorf Astoria Ras al Khaimah which I got to try last year as a Hilton Diamond. Despite the on-going situation in the Middle East, the service and offering was unaffected which was much appreciated and the hotel was very transparent beforehand. As a point. of comparison in the current Middle East situation with low mid-week occupancy, I had a repeated stay in Jumeirah Al Naseem in Dubai later in June. Unlike the IC RAK, the Jumeirah Al Naseem hotel in Dubai severely reduced the open premises due to low occupancy (two out of 3 pools were closed with no notice whatsoever) despite commanding even higher prices than before. One of my stays at the hotel was during Eid and the staff worked tirelessly as the resort was a full capacity. Kudos to them. I hope management appreciates them as they are truly ambassadors of the hotel.

I love this place so amazing,friendly staff everything in this place i really love i will highly recommended 💯

I was here to make my birthday special and it indeed was.. Thanks to the amazing service provided by everyone here.. my spa session with Dewa was very much relaxing and peaceful. Definitely happy with the service. Thank you
