Thank you to Alvin who provided us with the best service EVER! We had the pleasure to eat at this amazing restaurant twice during our stay. Food out of this world, service best to none and memories not to be forgotten! We were honoured by the chef's attention and how they made us feel part of the family! We eat... More

Ich besuchte das Restaurant Pura Vida während meines Aufenthaltes im Hilton Resort & Spa in Ras al Khaimah. Schon bei der Ankunft am Waterbraker wurde man von der Hostess Rose Ann begrüßt und von Judith zu einem Platz seiner Wahl begleitet. Meistens war das Restaurant nicht voll und man hatte freie Platzwahl. Am Tisch angekommen wurden sofort heiße Tücher mit... More

Without a doubt a great place to wine and dine. This is a "meat" place. I love the rib eye steak which was recommended by the service staff and my husband loves his Brazilian churrasco. In the Brazilian churrasco, they brought out the choicest red meats frequently and not the chicken etc.. which tend to be the case in most... More

We celebrated our wedding anniversary at Pura Vida. Although our original reservation had been lost, they made every effort for us, giving us a very nice table on the terrace. The food was excellent - I went for the BBQ, my wife for the rack of lamb - as was the wine. The ambience of the restaurant is great and... More

Lovely service (thanks Alvin), gorgeous meat esp pork ribs, rib eye and lamb chops. Nice setting outside (if a little dark). Remember to use the traffic light system to make the experience last longer.

In our view, this is the best restaurant at the Hilton resort in Rak. The staff were excellent the whole time we were there having had breakfast there every day and four evening meals out of our 8 day visit. The manager, Subhash V.G. is excellent and Ashwin and Laarnie very good at making you feel welcome and looking after... More

Very good food but like Dubai/UAE £40 for a steak is steep, service a bit sporadic but more through poor management as waiting staff are excellent. Very different to other restaurants at Hilton RAK Resort so worth going to during a stay.

My wife and I keep returning to the Hilton every year and our experiences get better and better. Pura Vida is always kept as our last meal for the holiday as we know it will not disappoint. The staff are fantastic and always engaging at the right moments. The food is incredible if you love meat. We do love meat... More

My wife and I went to Pura Vida for Valentines Day 2013. We sat on the terrace and although the weather was quite cool, several gas heaters were provided to keep away the chill. The setting is very nice indeed and if you listen you can hear the waves crashing onto the beach a few hundred yards away from the... More
