“Good for a beach weekend”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 January 2012

The location of this hotel is probably the best in the area. While the hotel is old and far from glamorous, its location on a pristine white sand beach make it a winner. Unlike other hotels in the area it is not a high rise so it blends more sympathethically into the environment. It is definitely not a luxury hotel and rooms are basic but have everything one would need for a short stay. The staff were extremely helpful from front desk to housekeeping to concierge/bell desk.

The breakfast buffet is excellent and constantly refreshed and great variety. We found all the bars & restaurants very limited in their offering & too similar to each other. Unfortunately the weekend we were there it was inundated with groups of package tours from Russia & everything seemed to be included in their package so often as "individuals" we felt we were swamped.

We got a booking here at the last minute so we really were not too fussy but during our stay we did take the time to look at some of our more upmarket preferences in the area but frankly, felt we were glad to be at the Radisson. It appears they are making changes to bring it in line with their brand so it can only get better!

The beach is definitely the drawcard here and makes a stay in this area completely relaxing.

Room Tip: Definitely need a sea view room. Also we had a room in Block 1 on the 2nd floor and and it was perf...

“relaxing family break with unexpected touches”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 January 2012

people found this review helpful

We stayed as four adults and a young child for a couple of nights from 19th December, and having booked two rooms at prices we already considered to be good value, were pleased to be offered an upgrade to a family suite. The room was a pleasant 10 minute walk along the beach from the hotel reception, restaurants and only swimming pool that was heated at this time of year (to the hotel’s credit the other pools, although freezing and empty, were still dutifully attended by lifeguards), but made up for location in terms of peace and quiet away from other guests – a few coach parties rather than individuals.

Staff at the reception, restaurant, bar, room service, and towel cabana were all very courteous and helpful, even though English was obviously not always their first language. When we were suddenly called back to our room to attend to our child who was sick, the parking attendants had a golf cart with us in seconds and got us back in no time (I’d been all set to kick off my heels and run back barefoot!) Good, seamless service – no fuss.

Beach was clean and sandy. Room service, as other reviewers have mentioned, was swift, provided a good selection, and courteously delivered. The breakfast buffet was fresh and with plenty of choice. In the evening, the bar was pleasant, with outdoor Majlis style seating which gave a traditional Arabic touch, as did the musical performances by an Oud player – wonderful to listen to under the starlight against the sound of waves rippling on the beach – a world away from Dubai!

It would be too easy to complain about the décor, which was quite faded and not entirely to our taste, but at least neutral, and clean, and the furnishings comfortable. Once or twice during the night, some smells from outdoors drifted in but went away again as quickly and were not bothersome enough for us to need to close the windows to the cool sea breeze.

A couple of minor issues (curtain cord breakage and internet reconnection) were fixed within an hour of reporting them, again without fuss. Once fixed, the Wi-Fi was free, meaning that we didn’t have to miss contacting a relative in the UK on his birthday!

On visiting reception on the last day, the receptionist greeted me by name, and it’s these kinds of personal touches that, despite the need for a bit of a refurb, differentiates the Radisson Blu from the other hotels nearby in Aqah.

A lovely family stay.

Room Tip: The hotel is long! 10 minute walk from end to end, but rooms at the end furthest from reception are...

After long time of hard work & pressure we decide me & my wife to take short break we heard about that quiet place and pure area we packed our luggage and run away from the pressure and traffic in Dubai to Radisson, we were welcomed by the valet parker staff with smile on their faces which gave us the feeling that we will erase our fatigue, front line staff was great and cheerfully specially front desk staff, room was great overlooking the tranquil sandy beach and small peninsula , excellent service was provided by the staff the only thing made us unhappy when we were thinking that after that short honeymoon vacation we have to go back to work
Thank you all

Ups:
- Room service food was surprisingly delicious!
- Prices were reasonable
- Staff did their best (for such a busy tourist hotel).
- Peaceful beach
Downs:
- Very family oriented hotel, lots of children
- Interiors very utilitarian, in need of a designer's touch
- Sad-looking, empty restaurant
- Valet had no knowledge of basic driving directions
