Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Intercontinental Ras Al Khaimah Mina Al Arab Resort & Spa By Ihg from previous guests about their experience.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Intercontinental Ras Al Khaimah Mina Al Arab Resort & Spa is widely appreciated for its modern design, spacious rooms, and comfortable amenities, including elegant bathrooms with bathtubs and luxurious Byredo cosmetics. Guests often highlight the lovely beach and the pools with comfortable sunbeds. The main restaurant, Saffar, receives praise for its delicious food, drinks, and desserts, offering a great sea view, while the desserts at Ramsa Lobby Lounge are considered very sweet by many. While most find the experience exceptional, some have occasionally noted that the breakfast buffet area can feel a bit crowded. Overall, the hotel's location, set away from the city on an island with a quiet beach, adds to its appeal, making it conveniently located before RAK city and closer to Dubai.
