In them, you will find comfortable beds, air conditioning, ceiling fans and minibars, among many more services. The pool zone also guarantees moments to unwind: enjoy a day of relaxation on the sun loungers, take the chance to have a drink at the swim-up bars or simply refresh yourself from the warm climate in the city. But if you prefer, you can also head for the beach and enjoy your surroundings.

After a day packed with activity, there is nothing better than pampering yourself at the spa in this hotel on Deira Islands. We recommend you try out the sauna and the hydromassage bathtub, and that you take this opportunity to book the treatment that most takes your fancy, to return from your holiday totally refreshed.

6th Visit

Lovely upgrade room with sea view. Thanks Maria you never disappoint. Special thanks to the lovely NISHMA who kept our room spotless. Restaurant staff and food always to a high standard. A big thankyou to all the chefs who work very hard to keep all the guests happy and well fed with many great dishes. Good to see some of the same staff and a special thankyou to Josephine and Deepak not forgetting all the other waiters and supervisors. Hope to see you all again in 2027.

Overall good, waterpark info is missing

The rooms and food were very good, and we enjoyed our stay overall. However, there were two issues that affected our experience.

First, there was no hairdryer in the room, and unfortunately, even after requesting one from reception, I never received it.

Second, we were staying as two families, and the waterpark was the main attraction for the children. When booking through the app, I couldn’t find any information stating that the waterpark is closed every Monday for weekly maintenance. As a result, the children were very disappointed, as this was one of the main reasons we chose the hotel.

It would be helpful if such important information were clearly communicated during the booking process to avoid disappointing guests, especially families travelling with children.

Thieving staff.

Housekeeping stole $300 usd worth of items out my room. Police came and reviewed the cameras with security and myself. We all saw housekeeping walk out with the items. Police did not file the report and the hotel said it was a mistake and it’s nothing they can do. The staff and security are dishonest and inconsiderate. DON’T stay at this place.

September 18th-28th

We stayed at the riu dubai 18/9 until 28/9. After flying over night and landing early in the morning on the 18th we were allowed to check in but there was no room ready for us, but we didn't mind we had a walk around grabbed a drink, and got our bearings. After a couple of hours I asked for any room as we were extremely tired which they obliged. Room was big and spacious. Food was lovely, I challenge anyone not to find something to eat. I cant comment on the al a cartes as we didn't eat in any. My husband had to get up early to get a decent sunbed, trust me it was that hot, we were glad of the shade when on the sunbeds. We used the app a couple of times for requests and they were always dealt with. Staff were always polite. Some guests on the other hand need to learn some manners, but this did not dampen our holiday. We were recommended this hotel by our travel agent, and all i can is it was everything and more-yes you need to get a taxi to most places but they are cheap so we really didn't mind. We are already looking at coming back. We booked a couple of trips through the tui tour rep who has a great and vast knowledge we knew exactly trips we wanted and he helped us.

Nice Hotel

Not the best location as taxis needed to get anywhere. Towels around pool need to be out by 7.00am no problem if you are a beach lover. All restaurants are buffet including themed ones, but they are more relaxed. Avoid 1.00 pm to 1.30 pm for lunch as manic. Always cleaning.
