Latest reviews on Ras al-Khaimah's beaches

Cove Rotana resort
6 Megs

Today, we decided to have lunch at Breakers On The Beach during our staycation at Cove Rotana in Ras Al Khaimah. This beach bar offers a pleasant beach view and serves delicious comfort food and drinks while providing live entertainment. It's definitely a great choice for those who are staying at the resort.

DoubleTree resort
8 danish raza

We decided to have a family staycation and were pleased with the spacious rooms that had balconies. Unfortunately, there was an unpleasant odor in our room, so we had to contact room service multiple times. Additionally, the doorbell and do not disturb device were not functioning and required repair. Due to the hotel being overbooked, breakfast was relocated to another restaurant with a limited buffet selection. However, the kids had a fantastic time with the pool, water slides, and beach activities. In conclusion, our experience was positive, but there was room for improvement.

Turtle beach
8 Jamil Farid

This beach is exclusively for the residents of the Murjan Island resort. It is a pleasant beach with all the necessary facilities such as a cafeteria, a water sport shop, and showers. The beach has sandy shores, but unfortunately, it tends to have a lot of seaweed and could benefit from some cleaning. Despite this, our overall experience was enjoyable.

Ras Al Khaimah II
8 Ethan

This is a fantastic location to stay, conveniently close to Al Hamra and Maddison's without the hassle and noise. The pool is consistently well-maintained, and the on-site Zoom is outstanding. Additionally, all the staff, security, and workers are incredibly friendly and accommodating. During my 9-month stay in a spacious studio, I had a peaceful and enjoyable time, despite occasional disturbances from barking dogs and howling cats.

Flamingo beach
8 Chandrajit Sarkar (Jit)

This beach is a wonderful spot to take a refreshing dip in the ocean. However, it could benefit from additional amenities such as seating areas and convenient shops. Overall, it's a lovely place to enjoy the natural beauty of the sea.
