The hotel has an advantageous location and well-organized beach area, where you can enjoy safe swimming, clean sand and sea. I especially liked it was shallow enough to just walk along the shore or play with children. Another benefit is their restaurant that serves a buffet in the morning, afternoon and evening. There is a good variety of food to satisfy various eating habits: always porridge in the morning, every meal includes rice, potato, fresh vegetables and fruit, different kinds of meat and fish. One can always add different dressings. The restraint arranges special days devoted to for instance Arabic or Italian cuisines, of which I particularly liked the latter. I was pleasantly surprised with very tasty pizza and arancini, as well as very nice tiramisu. The hotel personnel are very helpful, especially at the restaurant and understand many languages and accents in case guests experience difficulties to express a request. Many thanks to Chef Anish, Ms Raghu and Mr Asanga as well as their colleagues for creating a cheerful and tasty atmosphere at the restaurant. I also would like to thank the reception for their meticulous attention to any request concerning the room or tourist information, especially Mr. Aung, who kept positive despite any problems. What can be improved is room cleaning. Though by the end of our stay it became better, I still think that it can be done better and without additional asking. In conclusion, I can recommend the hotel to those who want to enjoy calm stay near the sea. The hotel is within walking distance from Al Hamra Mall where one can do some shopping.

It's been a great holiday. In this hotel service at height😍 Rooms are large and clean🔥 Any problems are solved in a short period of time, all very responsive and attentive. The property is very clean and cozy, we came to clean our room every day, which you don't see very often. We had an early check-out (4.50am) and on the road the kitchen gave us breakfast (sandwiches, layers, fruit and water), which also really enjoyed. Ride Safari from the tour operator, which is downstairs of this hotel: 1) it's cheaper; 2) we were driven by a cool driver, sat in the front row at the evening show, had no problems with the transfer, had dinner in the desert. In general, I recommend🔥 not cheat, reality has exceeded expectations!

We traveled as a family with a small 2.5-year-old child, so we chose an All Inclusive beach hotel in Ras Al Khaimah. The climate in April compared to Dubai is simply wonderful. The room stock is tired. We had a huge, uncomfortable room with two bedrooms. Dirty windows, a little cleaned after the thunderstorm. There are no utensils in the kitchen and they are not included in the hotel concept. But the view from the windows is beautiful - either to the sea or to the golf course. Cleaning is daily, superficial, water is supplied regularly. But it didn’t matter to us about the All concept; we could take it from bars. I liked the food at the hotel - always fish, chicken, beef, but it was quite monotonous, after 10 days I got tired of it. For a child, you can ask for ice cream and French fries for lunch (this is not advertised anywhere, but ask any waiter). In the dining room and bars, alcoholic drinks are of acceptable quality. There is no construction. Some superficial work is being carried out at the neighboring hotel, but it does not disturb holidaymakers at all. Three swimming pools are open. Clean. Rescuers sit all day and watch. Children's warm. You can use inflatable rings and balls. The beach is sandy. The long, gentle entrance is great for children. You can walk along the coastline of the neighboring hotel; in the afternoon the tides go out and you will find crabs. The staff in the dining room and bars are absolutely wonderful. They smile, adore children, are happy to help). In principle, all the staff are at the highest level, all English speaking. There is a children's room. You can take balls, play volleyball, football. There is no animation at all. That's why I feel sad after dinner. The area is not very large, but beautiful, well-groomed, the hotel itself is illuminated, like an Arabian fairy tale. To sum it up, this is a hotel for a family seal beach holiday.

We rested with our husband from 11.10 p.m. to 31.10 p.m. The hotel is generally not bad. The fact that the rooms are a little tired doesn't matter. The staff is polite, sympathetic. We were met at the reception by Nihal, a very nice kid. Euro rooms have sockets, but Nihail arranged for us to adapt) Cleaned the room every day, but the balcony in a week never went in. The food is monotonous, lots of spicy food, but you won't be left hungry. It's a huge downside that there are very few sunbeds and umbrellas, and because of our compatriots who occupy sunbeds with towels, to find a free quest is quite a challenge. Like wild ones. They occupy both the pool and the bay at the same time. The sea and the beach are chic. The grounds are clear, again, our some, Rusu tourists, apparently from 11 a.m. they swell up and don't see the garbage, so drink glasses are falling, but the staff cleans everything up in a timely manner. And the bars and the restaurant staff are great. Took a sightseeing tour from a local Abdul (Abdul - did not fool anyone). The tour was generally enjoyed, but check-in to some cosmetics store and local bazaar, I think is superfluous. There's a mall 20 minutes away, you can go for a walk. Construction is everywhere in the Emirates, but there is absolutely no noise in this hotel. All in all, the hotel is good!

We recently stayed at Al Hamra Village and Residence Hotel for our wedding anniversary & had a fantastic experience. The location right next to the pool was perfect, and we loved relaxing by the pool and enjoying the beautiful views. And room are so spacious but what truly made our stay unforgettable was the exceptional service we received from the staff.
Selvam Sellamani, Sundar, Samida, and Mihiru were all incredibly friendly and helpful. They went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, from helping us plan our outings to making sure our room was always spotless.
They have done the room decor on the bed it was touching, Thanks to the wonderful service and beautiful setting, we had a truly relaxing and enjoyable stay. We would highly recommend Al Hamra Village and Residence Hotel to anyone looking for a great place to stay in Ras Al Khaimah. The friendly and attentive staff will definitely make your stay even better!

Very clean, big and beautiful hotel. Plus, their employees are very interested. At room service, they take action or ask you with the slightest detail in mind. I especially appreciate Savej and Joel for their attention.

Check-in was quick, they helped us carry our luggage, the room was large for a family of 5 people, this time they gave us a balcony, as this was our second time in this hotel, tea, coffee, water in the room. We took all meals, you can be full in the restaurant, there are no queues at this time of year. I even liked the drinks. You can order ice cream for free at lunch. French fries and nuggets can also be ordered for free in the restaurant, I can’t tell you the time. We went to the zoo and mall of emirates, the drive from Dubai is 1-1.5 hours. Public transport is good (metro and intercity bus). Near al Hamra mall you can walk to it every day. It is very convenient to run around the golf course - there is a running track, but it is small. Check-out is at 12:00, extended free of charge until 14:00 (this is the second time we checked out, maybe because of this), we extended it for another 2 hours for 100 dirhams. The gym is great, they allow children, everyone from 7 years old got a good workout. We have been to the emirates 8 times, the first in January. The only negative is the cold sea

The worst experience! The hotel is very nice with spacious rooms, exactly like pictures but the staff needs more customers experience training. They are zero customer oriented. Starting with the booking process we faced a wall, no one is picking up the phone calls and if they do , they don’t know the process and they are saying that someone else will call you back. They never called back even thou we were calling and waiting for several times. Once we’ve reached there we had different prices, more expansive, than booking . Check in process took more than 30 min even thou we were the only ones in the reception. Pool bar staff zero communication between them, we’ve been charged double for bills already paid there, so you have to keep all your receipts to avoid drama at check out. Check out process with a lot of drama with a reception manager( Sherif if that his name, he didn’t wear a name badge and he never introduced himself to us) who was challenging us not to leave a bad review, very aggressive and not polite at all, because we were proving with receipts that we’ve been paying everything on the spot without charging the rooms and he was delaying the entire check out process with unpolite observations towards us. Very disappointing

Great hotel for the money. The beach is gorgeous, first line, by the sea, white sand, during the day the water is just an incredible color. The staff is attentive and responsive to any request. I needed charging - they brought the adapter without any problems. The territory is not very large, but enough, you can walk along the coast without any problems, there are other hotels there. The food is decent, the range is not huge, but delicious! When it comes to vacation, the most important thing is the sea. If you are on the all-inclusive system, ask for Nutella for breakfast 😉 and they will bring you ice cream for lunch. For food lovers it may be modest. But the views are gorgeous! The rooms are huge, gigantic! Have a nice holiday😉 special thanks for Omar on reception🤍

I stayed in Alhamra village (the apartment not the hotel) so if you want to use the facilities and you are staying in the al hamra village you need to go to hotel (2-3min) walking
I tried to call the room service and reception many times but no one answered the phone
