I'm American and visited Abu Dhabi in the summer- go in the winter it's much much cooler) -and let me tell you, when I arrived, the hotel looked just like it did in the photos I saw of it online! The staff was excellent from the moment I arrived. They treated me like a king from the moment my taxi... more

Was in Abu Dhabi for a business trip and spent three nights at the Hotel. The lobby and the rooms were overwhelming, in an oriental-classic style, and there is a lush garden. Staff is very friendly. Rooms are extremely large, I had a sea-view room with balcony. There is a coffee-maker in the room, coffee powder and complimentary mineral water... more

Al Raha Hotel is a wonderful place to relax and unwind with family, the staff being very courteous, cleanliness of rooms and bathrooms were perfect, in case of the food we just had the buffet breakfast from the hotel which was again great with healthy menu choices. For those who wish to try other food options they have the Al... more

We have just returned from a 5 night stay at the Al Raha followed by 4 nights in Dubai, and although our hotel in Dubai was also five star, it just could not be compared to the Al Raha. We knew there would be a lot of construction; that's the way of things in the UAE, and the beach area... more

I stayed for 2 nights. I asked to move room after finding that I could not get hot water in the bathroom. The water was only slightly warmer in the 2nd - lukewarm at best. When I checked out and mentioned the problem, the desk clerk said that this was a widespread problem in the hotel at present. Hot water... more

Hugely disappointing hotel, and nothing like they market on their website. With the development of the Al Raha city immediately to the right of the hotel, and the major earthworks involved on the left of the hotel inside the grounds on the hotel extension, you are surrounded by construction (see pictures posted). The work went on from dawn to dusk... more

The hotel is absolutely 5 * if not 6. The rooms are huge and amazing. The Marbel bathroom was also large, and the fittings were the best we have ever seen. The swimming pool has to be seen to be believed, exactly as the brochure. Staff were more than helpful, and extremely pleasant. The only negative was the free shuttle... more

I was slightly concerned by the negative reviews, especially as it was not the cheapest holiday I have ever had. But no need to worry, total luxury from start to finish. We flew with Ethiad - best flight I have been on to date, even had seat back TVs which showed the pictures from two cameras on outside of plane... more

I stayed there may be a bit longer than I expected, but experience which I got was good. Rooms are huge, pool area nice and clean. Staff needs to improve their English.Far a way from Downtown but hotel has a shuttle bus goes to shopping center, if you take a taxi on the way back make sure that driver confirmed... more
