We are currently vacationing at this hotel. The second half of November. The weather and the sea are perfect! The ebb is even interesting. The sea is clean, especially when compared with Dubai Marina)
But for this we planned a vacation in Ras al Khaimah. I chose the hotel carefully. And I was not mistaken! I wanted to remove the star for the construction site in the sea opposite, but I did not. Yes, there is a place to be. But for some reason, on the second day it stops annoying. By the year 28, there will be a casino and the atmosphere in general, the sea and the price will be different.
In the meantime, I want to come back! Absolutely everything met our expectations.
All the Staff is trying very hard!
The girls Svetlana and Sofia at the reception and at the concierge service are always ready to help with any question.
We stayed at this hotel in October. A gorgeous hotel. The food is very tasty. Huge rooms. Bathrobes and slippers are provided in the rooms. Water is brought every day. There are three swimming pools on the territory. The sea is nearby. The sea is gorgeous. Deck chairs should be occupied early in the morning to lie under an umbrella. If you take everything included, then there is a large assortment of alcohol. The hotel is beautiful and huge like a castle. We really liked it.
I had a vacation with my wife at the end of November 2024. I liked everything! The room (!) is just great! With a kitchen, kettle and refrigerator! (Fortunately, an acquaintance suggested it).. I took a jug with a filter with me. Very helpful! Bottled water is provided for 1 liter per day per person. The food is varied. The beach is sandy (1 coast next to the hotel). Hamra Mall is 20 minutes from the hotel. The Council.. If you like branded sportswear,.. don't forget the cash in $, and be sure to return the receipt at the airport,/' of the purchase amount.
A chic hotel , beautiful , the territory is huge . Everything is fine here , the rooms , the food , the pools, the beach with white sand , the bar. Very polite, cultured staff. Everything is at a decent level. I definitely recommend this hotel for a vacation
I had a rest in the 1st half of October, I knew that there might be a construction site nearby, what the pier and the casino opposite were doing. Yes, during the day you can hear and see the excavator on the pier, but this was the only negative.
Room 86 meters, ocean view. Everything is OK. Not all rooms have balconies.
There are few people in the hotel, it's quiet, as I like it. I liked the food, it can be better, but this is a different cost of hotels. I took FB plus, Ala kart lunches, which is also good.
The beach is a little worse than the neighboring movenpik, but in general it is OK for the UAE. Sometimes it ebbs all day.
There are always enough sun loungers for everyone. For children: a children's club with a closed outdoor playground, a water area with fountains and a river, part of a large swimming pool and water slides. There are few children. The continent is intelligent, there are many Russian speakers.
The coolest thing is the staff and service: everyone is friendly, issues are solved.
The territory is beautiful and green. I didn't see any mosquitoes. You can walk along the embankment and along the beach to the end of the Sofitel, or you can walk along the golf courses.
A hotel with a very pleasant atmosphere, where you want to return.
We had a great rest at this hotel. Excellent location, very quiet both on site and in the rooms. The cleaning suffers, but apparently, it's how they clean everywhere here. Although the staff is not a hack. I spent 40 minutes and put the room in the order that I needed. It was difficult for our family to feed the children, since they do not eat spices from the word at all, but for adults the food is good, even despite the off-season. The breakfast is wonderful. The sea and the beach are just a miracle. Thanks to the administrator Feona - friendly and responsive, not a single request was ignored. The impression was spoiled only by the Russian-speaking administrator. An unpleasant, cunning guy who dragged his time as best he could so as not to give back the deposit. He also tried to make us guilty, like we needed to come for a deposit earlier. Although we came to renew the room and he did not say a word to us that he had not prepared the deposit. Because of this, the transfer was waiting for us for an extra 20 minutes, and he apparently hoped that we would give up and leave.
As a result, I would like to say a huge thank you for the rest, the children are asking for this hotel again :)
I can say for sure that the chosen hotel exceeded all expectations. First-class service and comfort, high-level cuisine, so far this is the best hotel of all trips.
Quiet , measured, luxurious
I've always liked it here. Almost nothing has changed since the renovation. But everything is working properly now.
Questions only to the sea. Apparently, due to the construction of this bulk island in the neighborhood, the ecosystem was disrupted. But there is no end to small crabs. They pinch. It doesn't hurt, but it's unpleasant. Then we moved to Ajman - there are no living creatures in the sea at all - perfect.
But the Waldorf Hotel itself is a gem, of course. After that, it will be difficult for you to get to the UAE. Whether you need it is up to you to decide.
The hotel is very nice and large. The rooms are spacious. But in front of the hotel, in the sea, there is a construction site and lying on the beach we observe a ferry with an escovator that takes sand and stones out of the water. Well, the construction site itself. There are questions about food, you will not be able to enjoy a delicious meal. The sea is great, the entrance to the water is cool, the tide is out in the evening.
A very beautiful hotel, as I understood it after renovation, a gorgeous view of the water, the area near the pool is very comfortable, the beach is clean, there is no feeling of a crowd. I recommend it for holidays with children.
Atmospheric interior, excellent service, sea view is worth the money. There is no enthusiasm or complaints about the kitchen - the variety is not great, but everything is very fresh.
It's not the first time we've come. But last time it was especially wonderful, the territory became well-groomed, walking paths, benches were added, a large number of trees were planted. They cleaned up the beach. In general, everything is great.
Excellent apartment (gorgeous warm ocean ) Convenient entry for children !!!
A large territory !(you can visit the entire area of this Mega cool hotel !!!)
There is no animation (from the word at all!)
The food is not quite delicious! (if you want to lose weight, come here!)
I clean the room well, they give drinking water regularly!)
If there is something in the shower that the water should run for 20 minutes and then everything will be OK 🙆♀️
It 's a long way and a long way to Dubai itself , but there are excursions to which you are not delivered by bad personal transport !( in the form of machines ) not a bus 🫶
We were here last week. I do not recommend the hotel. Tired rooms and the interior in general. The photo of the rooms from the website does not correspond to reality. Be careful, because the photos of the rooms on the site are mostly from the tower, which is now CLOSED FOR REPAIRS. The beach is not bad, but when we were there it was very shallow.
Of the disadvantages, we had to wait about an hour at the entrance for our room to be prepared. The administration informed us at our arrival only after registration that it turns out our room is not ready yet. We waited for 1.5 hours of extra time, although we arrived even a little later than the check-in time. Unpleasant.
And upon departure, it turned out that they wind up additional taxes for each position, consisting of three positions and in the total account is about + 15%! This is the first time I have come across this type of deception, because no one warns about it at the entrance, keep in mind or clarify immediately.
On the plus side: Good food, liked the European cuisine restaurant inside. It's pretty tasty. The breakfasts are also good. A comfortable and large family pool. There are not many activities, but nevertheless I liked yoga. There is a promenade that connects the hotel with neighboring hotels. The territory is green, but the paths are not functionally thought out enough, some of them were under repair.
Summing up, I want to say that this hotel was very disappointing. Expectations have absolutely not justified themselves, and the photos on the site are at odds with reality.
I really enjoyed my vacation at Al Hamra Residents. Spacious cool rooms, beautiful interior of the hotel, very smiling and friendly staff. Beautiful landscaping, several dozen types of vegetation around the hotel and a beautiful white beach lying close to the territory, outdoor pools. Beautiful blue jellyfish, starfish, fish. The local streets are very clean and green, there is a mall nearby. You can have a nice time walking 🙂🙂near the hotel. 🇦🇪

A wonderful place, one of the best hotels, IF NOT THE BEST OF THOSE THAT I've been to, where a high level of service, the highest level of cuisine, breakfast, lunch, dinner are combined ... everything is like in a restaurant, this is not a dining room! High level of cuisine, comfort of staying in the room, beautiful views, a wonderful large beach.
The main question is the price, the distance from the airport is 1 hour by taxi from Dubai.
I liked the hotel, a good 4, the food is not too varied, but everything is delicious. There were not enough sweets and fruits. We took full board-drinks tea, coffee from the machine and juice packaging can be taken for lunch and dinner. The territory is small, mainly a golf course, there are no playgrounds, but they are on the territory of the Al Hamra Residence hotel, where the beach is actually located. To the beach 500-600 meters is not stressful. The beach is long, clean, there are enough sunbeds. Junior suites on the ground floor with a terrace, two rooms, bath + shower. At first I didn't get a very good number, they changed it for one day to another. Russian Russian contingent in the hotel is 98%, but the staff hardly speaks Russian, there are 2 Russian girls, but we saw only one and then in the evenings. The pool is large and clean.
An excellent four-star hotel in the style of a village of two-storey buildings, there is a swimming pool with sun loungers, a fitness room, a bar with paid alcohol, when buying an all inclusive package, drinks and alcohol are given in a bar with an open counter on the street, the staff is friendly and courteous, five minutes walk to the sea, the passage is through the hotel Al hamra gold, which is located across the road, also runs a free gol car between the hotels on which you can get there if you don't want to walk
An excellent choice for a family holiday: spacious rooms, a children's club and many activities. The beach is clean and well maintained, the staff is always ready to help.
The hotel is located in an ideal place for a relaxing holiday, young people will get bored. The residence and the Village have no complaints, but the dining room, yes, it is the dining room on the territory of the Village, to put it mildly, leaves much to be desired...They are served by Hindus, stupid, fussy, absolutely untrained. Management at the lowest level. An example of anti-organization of business. There is definitely something missing - or cutlery, or plates, or coffee cups, or salads, or fruit. Paper napkins and sauces are not about them at all. They are trying to improve, it pleases. So far in vain. The sea and the beach are at a height. But there is also service by Hindus.. A hotel with a liquor permit, the contingent at dinner is appropriate. We changed dinner for lunch, so there are no guests from Tagil)
Probably, she hardly returned.
This is a real five in the stars in terms of relations with its guests! There have been a lot of fives in the past, but this is the real intelligence among the five star hotels
We had a rest at the end of September, as a family, two adults and two children.
We arrived at 22.00, had dinner and checked in.
The room is large, two-room, on the ground floor, quite clean, the general condition is 4.
To the sea 5-7 minutes walking distance.
We lived on an all-inclusive system, there was always enough food, chicken, meat, fish. From fruits melon, watermelon, pineapple, apples.
The beach is private, sun loungers are always available.
In general, if it is purely for a sea holiday, with children, then it is suitable, if you need a car, then you can only get to it by taxi...
A quiet place for a great vacation from big cities. Great hotel. The rooms are large. The staff is friendly. The food is delicious, the sea (bay) is warm. The beach is great. Bartenders pour with a bang during the day! Be sure to go on excursions to Oman and Safari (jeep rides in the desert).
We were in a foursome consisting of two rows of two-storey villas.They gave us a room on the second floor with a balcony.The balcony overlooks the street, where there is eternal construction and dust, respectively, it was not used.There is a tuk tuk to the beach, but the schedule is incomprehensible for tourists, and so it takes about seven minutes on foot in the heat and eternal construction on the road.The beach itself is good.However, there is also a construction site on both sides.There is no animation, the reception is not quite Russian-speaking, but you get used to it quickly.The food is monotonous, there are not enough places for everyone.When you come to the end, there is not much at all.If you're going to take it, it's better to go to the top five, it's better with all this.
The hotel is large with its own large beach. The sunbeds stand at a decent distance from each other, which gives a kind of privacy. Towels can be taken by yourself, but usually they are brought by electric car directly to the selected sunbed, plus they are given ice water. There are two swimming pools on the territory, one of which, as I understand it, is only for vacationers without children.
The reception staff greeted us kindly, answered all your questions, were ready to help solve any problem that arose. All the staff speaks English, but usually there is one person in the teams who understands Russian.
The rooms are large. We had a Family Deluxe with a view of the golf course. In the room we had two double beds, two large TVs, a coffee machine, a kettle, an iron, an ironing board, a large wardrobe, a separate bathtub, a shower, a toilet with a bidet and a huge balcony. Rooms are cleaned daily, sometimes twice a day. Towels were changed every day.
The power was taken by FB++. This plan includes breakfast, dinner buffet, lunch on a separate menu in the a la carte restaurant Azur (also a menu, only items included in FB++ go without prices) and any two drinks per person for breakfast, lunch, dinner.
The buffet is not as varied as in Turkey, but the food was all delicious and the choice of dishes was quite decent. A waiter is attached to each table. The waiters are all polite, friendly. Cooks move around the hall along the tables with food, who make sure that the dishes are always full. You can also specify the composition of each dish from them.
The cuisine at the Azur restaurant was simply gorgeous. All the dishes from the menu were delicious and, most importantly for us, not spicy. The portions of each dish were quite large.
A 10-minute walk from the hotel there is a shopping center where you can stock up on souvenirs, small things, as well as buy various goodies in the supermarket. The prices are quite reasonable (especially when compared with Dubai).
We were in January 2024.
January is considered out of season.
There aren't many people.
The air temperature is 25.
The water temperature is 23.
The staff is fine.
The food is also normal .
Swimming pool.
Sun beds are free of charge.
We haven't finished everything yet, work is underway
And I went to the market for alcohol for the first time on foot, then I took a taxi.
I bought excursions to Dubai at the hotel.
A great place for a family holiday, quiet, beautiful, the service is beyond praise. If you want to have fun, go to the main building, there are parties on the beach, an electric car goes there for those who are hard or too lazy to go
A wonderful hotel for families with children. We spent time from 27.03 to 07.04. The main hotel on the first coastline, two-storey villas 7-10 minutes from the bay. A golf car runs - to take and pick up. There are 3 outdoor pools on the territory, the villas have a larger pool. Cleaning the pools every morning, and there is always one lifeguard on duty while bathing. The kitchen is monotonous. The staff is friendly, everyone knows English, there are Russian-speaking employees at the reception. All staff, regardless of their knowledge of the language, are ready to help. Room cleaning every day, change of towels, bath accessories. We went on an all-inclusive system. Impressions are only positive. We recommend you to check in)))
The hotel is not worth the money. And here's why.
pros:
honestly, I thought about them for 15 minutes. Well, the sea is clean and beautiful during the day. They give towels. Nice weather. Few people. (These positions are usually in any normal place). You can use the hotel, which is located nearby.
minuses:
(After the Turkish service) the staff will seem too indifferent to you. We asked the reception to bring us slippers, fix the light, find a transfer. They write something down in a notebook - and do nothing. Note that almost no one speaks Russian. About half of the staff speaks English.
The pools are dirty, the seams are in long-term dirt, the sides are black. The rooms are dirty, dusty (yes, they are cleaned every day, but this is a superficial cleaning). I'm not talking about windows at all, what's the point of panoramic windows if they haven't been washed for years? There are taped windows in all the baths, the shadow of a man who is washing can be seen from the street. The unkemptness is felt in the details. We really didn't have the main light working, in addition there were only 2 sockets in the room, and in these two sockets there were 2 bedside floor lamps. We had to charge gadgets while sitting without light. The rooms do not add cream, for which there is a vessel.
The food (again after Turkey) is purely to eat, no frills. The food is the same every day. Note that the choice is not extensive. There are no napkins on the tables, never, no one.
The website says that there is a sauna here - it is not here, they themselves were surprised by this question :) We go to the beach through a construction site with workers. The car goes from the hotel to the sea when it wants. The sea is shallow, you can swim only near the buoys. Keep in mind that sharks come here, so usually people swim near the shore, squatting. We witnessed 4 sharks hunting for a flock of fish right near the buoys. All the people were driven ashore at that moment. At night, the sea goes so far away (low tide) that it looks like a swamp with islands of land.
There is no entertainment here. That is, at 17:00 in the afternoon, the sun sets - and there is nothing else to do. There is a desert around the hotel, there is nowhere to walk, there is a lonely shopping center nearby, it is very expensive there, but you can go for the sake of interest.
The hotel opened in mid-December after renovation. Excellent breakfasts, restaurants, golf clubs within walking distance. I recommend it for all golfers who would like to play OUTSIDE Dubai. Prices are more affordable, quality 👌
The hotel is clean and tidy. There is a children's room with babysitters and a Playstation. The hotel has a weak kitchen, definitely not 5 stars, a maximum of three.
Excellent snow-white beach, lots of sun loungers. Heated pools .
The food is delicious and varied. The service is decent. The room is spacious with everything you need, if you don't act up and don't find fault. The beach is convenient and comfortable.
Very nice hotel. A gorgeous beach, a great pool, there are playgrounds and a couple of water slides for children and teenagers. The service is excellent.
The cuisine is also excellent, both in restaurants and with room service.
In May, there were jellyfish in the sea (not a lot, but be careful). Jellyfish are blue in the water.
The hotel is not bad. But tired, the furniture is straight from 2000, the windows are closed with screws, you can't open without a screwdriver, as the staff says, it was done for safety reasons, protection from children was apparently not invented for them)) the food is ordinary, they do not indulge in anything supernatural, but in general it is not bad, it is delicious, however, I want to note that the holiday INN 2 stars in Dubai, pleases the food more. The sea is nearby, there are sun beds, hungry Russians are available, and what else do you need for a good rest?)
They were in the spring of 23. I liked the hotel, the price-quality is 5 points, there is a certain fatigue of the interior, but not critical. The rooms are very large and comfortable. The water is clean, and so is the beach.
We rested three times in this hotel, we will return with pleasure. Impeccable service, very customer-oriented staff, excellent breakfasts in the restaurant. Arriving for the third time, we were found in the database and offered an upgrade of the room, it was very nice. On our Easter, congratulations were brought to the room. On the beach, you can ask for water and service from the remote control, if you are too lazy to walk at all))). The sun beds are very comfortable with pillows. The restaurant is on the top floor of the building with a beautiful sunset view.
Excellent hotel, the food is very tasty. The staff is super - everything for a tourist , well done . The sea is gorgeous , it 's not far to go . I was vacationing with my spouse and three children , everyone is delighted . Thank you for a wonderful stay !!!
We had a rest in October 23. The number of rooms is old. The air conditioning is very inconveniently located in the rooms. Opposite the sleeping places. Cold air gets directly into the sleeper. I had to cover myself with a blanket over my head. The rest of the room corresponds to the stated 4. A separate story with the restaurant. There are not enough appliances, clean tables only if you come to the opening. There are few workers, they do not have time to clean up. Considering that it was very hot in early October, no one wanted to have dinner on the outdoor veranda, let alone lunch. The quality of the kitchen is normal. No big frills, but delicious.juices, good quality coffee. The beach is excellent, despite the fact that repairs were carried out at a nearby hotel. Room cleaning is also not bad.
Tired, but noble interior! The staff is meek, trying to help, friendly!
The beach is great. Children without animation had fun in the evenings - they had fun in a crowd, socializing. The children's playroom was very pleasant to us)The food and the place of the meal wishes the best
I wrote a review while I was here for the 4th day.
Advantages of staying:
Beautiful weather, good Wi-Fi on site and in the rooms, beautiful sea.
That's it.
About the numbers:
Our room is large, two-room. Old, dirty. The floors were probably never washed on the terrace... But at the request of the 3rd day, exactly half of the terrace was washed. The entire terrace was washed 4 times.
The hair dryer hangs very high, it is problematic for adults to dry, and there is nothing to say about children.
The beach by the pool in the village is decent, towels are provided without problems. There is no shortage.
There are not enough shislongs on the sea. Towels too. Towels are delivered by 11:30.
It was fine for a couple of days, but then people stopped by, the shizlong was over. People walk, get angry, go to the pool.
But then the pool shizlong ended.
I went to the reception for a showdown.
I wrote complaints everywhere!
As a result, the shizlong was brought. In principle, you can lie down, but you need to look. Under the umbrella at 7:30 in the morning, everything is already occupied.
About food.
This is a separate song.
It doesn't leave the feeling that you have to beg for something all the time...
especially water.
In the bar, water is given out only when the canteen is closed (there is no way to call it a restaurant).
If it's open, it doesn't matter in what form you are (wet, in a swimsuit), you have to go to the canteen and beg for bottled water from the waiters.
There is no such problem at all on the territory of the residence.
The food is sooooo poor.
As they say, you won't stay hungry, but guys, this is the UAE, it's 4 stars, it's a lot of money. For such food in Turkey and Egypt, tourists would simply be torn apart ...
For breakfast, you can ask, beg, I would say, the waiters to bring pancakes.
Pancakes are given ONLY to children.
For lunch and dinner, you can beg to bring French fries with nuggets or pasta without sauce. Nuggets in a serving of 2 pcs. No more. Also only for children, of course.
Ice cream at lunch. Adults are not allowed.
Fish in sauce, meat too. For an amateur.
Food must be directly extracted! Humiliate yourself constantly!
Ask for everything: forks, glasses, cups, sweets.
Forget about napkins.
There is no animation. There is no music. Birds are singing 😉
If the tour is for the near future, I recommend making every effort to exchange.
The sea is good, the room is passable, that's all. Restaurant: if you are on a diet... it will do. There is no food, and the one that is tasteless. In this 5-star hotel, ice cream is given to children only if they really ask the waiter. Everything goes to the construction site about which further
We come to the most interesting ,
Construction from all sides except the sea, and even in the hotel itself, the whole wing is in the process of destruction. Dust on your teeth even on the beach! Noise by 10 b system 10 out of 10!
On the beach, we raise our voices to hear each other. If relaxation, then not here. And apparently, everything is just beginning, it's a pity we can't attach the video.
I do not recommend it. I took the tour from December 25th to January 2nd. And celebrated the New Year in different countries . And that's the worst part. Bad organization - you have to go somewhere all the time and find out. Dinner was postponed for everyone on New Year's Eve and it turned out that now my All Inclusive is not suitable and I still need to pay extra. Although I have already bought all inclusive. I had to go to a nearby bar to get myself alcohol for the New Year, they put me at the table, then they say it's busy. A very bad organization. There is very little entertainment. If you just relax normally, but the New Year is terrible
