Really lovely sized apartment (we took the 1 bed suite and it was ideal for a family of 4) in a perfect part of RAK - 30 seconds to the Waldorf Hotel and a 5 min drive to the Al Hamra Mall. 1 bed suites have - separate master bedroom with on suite (yes there is a door), large lounge, guest toilet & large kitchen. If you have Privilee it becomes a 9 out of 10 as you suddenly get full access to the Waldorf facilities, kids club, pools etc. Staff are super friendly and engaging.

The buffet breakfast is “Ok”, and probably the only thing that the venue scores averagely. Food gets a bit tired, but if you’re an omelette fan then there is a fresh cooking station which it great.

Location was good and the premisewas neat and clean. Staff were friendly. Special mention about the cleanliness and well maintained pool and beach area.

If there is some kind of sun protection above the pool, like a transparent pergola, it would beore comfortable in the pool during daytime when the sunrays are strong.

AMENITIES: They have 2 swimming pools which are heated ones and with enough sunloungers to accommodate us, very clean beachfront with umbrellas and sunloungers properly monitored by the life guards, Fresca Pool bar where the guests can enjoy live music and have drinks (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic) open until 23:00hrs, White Bar on the beach which serves drinks to beach goers until sunset, gymnasium, watersport activities, lounge, and many more. FOOD & DRINKS: The food selection in the buffet is really great and offers a lot of choices for us. Consisting of appetizers, vegetarian options, non-vegetarian options, salads, live cooking during breakfast, 2 types of soups every meal, desserts, coffee section, cold drinks and alcoholic drinks section, and separate order food and beverages are also available in the bar. For all inclusive, they giving a lot of choices for drinks suck as cocktails, mocktails, spirits, beers, juices, and softdrinks. Overall, the food and beverages are superb and satisfying. They will give you excellent services as well. Special mention and thanks to Ms. Magie, the lounge hostess, who assisted us in all our dining. SERVICES: Available services in the hotel is very nice. Staffers are all accommodating and respectful. They have vallet parking as well. Luggages are tagged and brought to your room. They are giving towels in pool and beach as well. Life guards are available to monitor the swimmers. LOCATION: The location of the property is very easy to locate and strategically located in beachfront area of Ras Al Khaimah along with other famous hotels. OVERALL: We are very satisfied and will recommend the property to friends, colleagues, and others.

We only booked a two-day stay only. We should have at least booked a three-day stay to further enjoy the amenities, food and drinks, and great services. Will definitely return back and book another stay here.

Lovely property, very green, great beach and pools - they have 2 adult pools and 1 kids pool We stayed at 2 bedroom apartment. Place was very clean and spacious

Very minor comment - the showers did not have a soap/shampoo holder. we had keep the shower gel and shampoo on the floor.

It's a dog friendly resort , very few in uae.clean place, very big and spacious rooms and value for money. Also good breakfast options

We were told that Pets are allowed at the restaurant and pool area (not in the pool) but when we reached both the places we were not given entry as it was not allowed...the coordination between the reception and the restaurant and pool with the reception is not good. Should improve and clear instructions should be available

The service provided by the staff was the highlight of our stay. They went the extra mile to ensure we were comfortable. Starting from Dost Muhammad who ensured our bags were picked and delivered to the room and parked our car indoor, he also started our car and cooled it in time for checkout. Sushil & Ashwin at the bar & restaurant made sure we were well taken care of. They went beyond to help with our toddler. Rosalie and Sadaf at the kids club took great care of our toddler and engaged her well to keep her busy during the tenure of our stay. The chef was generous to accommodate our child's food preference.

I was let down by the size and layout of the room. We opted for 2 bedroom since we were 4 adults and 1 child. The living room was older and smaller. The layout was confusing and it felt very claustrophobic. I think it is time for Al Hamra Residence to upgrade their room interiors. The rooms and bathrooms were like older 80s motels. We didn't want to be in the room due to this and preferred to just go around the area to spend as little time inside as we could. There was also lot of sound starting at 6:30 am due to renovations happing in the adjacent hotel.

well located, nice building and facilities, beach is good , food is not bad specially on the White Beach Bar also the music and atmosphere at this beach bar is very entertaining . Breakfast at the main restaurant can be improved , the staff is very professional and friendly, Mohsin at the reception was great help . Also a good point, it’s a pet friendly hotel

the breakfast needs improvement, more umbrellas on the beach side , the rooms are nice and clean but can use a bit of upgrade

Connected to the Waldorf Hotel - this place is naturally one of the prime locations in RAK. Literally 5 minutes from Al Hamra Mall it is not only just well located from a Beachfront perspective. If you happen to be a UAE resident and have Privilee then your stay will be even better as you will be able to walk in to both the Waldorf or drive the 10 min to Al Marjan and try some of the other hotel waterpark facilities (DoubleTree)

One of the things to be mindful of is there are no Sofa beds in the room - if you’re bringing Kids then you will need to pay for the additional beds provided by the venue. It’d also be great if the Residence were to invest into some Kids activity facilities such as a good jungle gym, swings etc - as there is nothing on site

Great location, very friendly staff, especially the F& B team. 3 gooo swimming pools Lovely one bed apartment which was suitable for a family of four. The AI package was value for money.

They were very slow on requests. Not all the staff were adequately trained. Asked for towels for the family …… but they had ran out.

Location, facilities, beach area and the amazing staff who would do their best to make adjustments for you whenever and wherever possible. Pets are allowed in most of the areas was also an added advantage.

Food variety literally drops the entire experience. It was to an extent that we regretted paying half board for 5 pax approx AED - 150/- each and could have easily gone to one of the nice restaurants in Al Hamra Mall and still would have ended up paying lesser amount for better food quality and something of our own choice. Live stations were missing for dinner, very basic dessert selection, food taste was ok nothing too great or something that would make you want to go for a second serve.
