Reviews and Ratings
I truly loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were incredibly spacious with a lovely balcony and a huge bathroom, which was super convenient for our one-year-old. Being just a stone's throw away from the reception desk was a big plus.
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The location is perfect, close to the airport and a short distance from famous malls. The rooms are spacious and cozy with beautiful views of the beach and pool area. The service was truly amazing, with friendly and helpful staff. However, the onsite dining was a bit expensive. Overall, a great value for money with top-notch amenities.
The hotel had very well-equipped and big rooms, despite a delayed check-in process. The location provided a peaceful stay with spacious rooms and beach views. The dining options, while varied, lacked Middle Eastern foods. Overall, a good value for money stay with some room for improvement.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of pleasant and not-so-great experiences. The rooms were very clean and spacious, with lovely touches like flower petals, but the hotel is showing its age. The service was a bit of a rollercoaster, with some rude interactions but also standout support from Glenn and Nouf at reception. The location had its downsides, such as overlooking a construction site, but overall matched my expectations. The dining options were comprehensive, albeit a bit pricey. Despite some flaws, the facilities were generally satisfactory.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and bright as requested, but some were a little musty. The service was exceptional, especially the pool bar staff, who were always happy and attentive. However, the location was not up to par in cleanliness in some areas and with some maintenance closures. The dining experience was enjoyable overall, with a wide range of breakfast dishes, although there were some issues with stale food.
The hotel offers a mix of experiences with clean rooms on the beach side, but lacking sunlight in the back rooms. The decor could use a modern touch, although cleanliness is top-notch. Towel arrangements were a nice touch, but a dusty smell lingered. The service had its ups and downs, with a mix of extra offers and exceptional themed nights. The location is convenient for Yas activities and the Sheikh Zayed Mosque, but shuttle service could be more frequent. Dining provides a large variety of delicious options, including enjoyable spa experiences and water activities at the private beach. Overall, a stay at AL RAHA offers a good blend of positives and drawbacks.
The hotel rooms were very spacious and clean with a top-notch housekeeping team. However, the balcony view overlooked a concrete slab, and it was a long walk to access the pool and beach, although the rooms were comfortable with luxurious bathrooms.
The hotel offered a warm and welcoming stay with picturesque views of the pool and lush surroundings. The housekeeping team made our experience memorable, and we look forward to returning! However, transitioning to another room could be smoother.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel! The rooms were spacious and had a great bathroom, and the staff provided excellent service with constant smiles.

I stayed in the new section of the hotel, and the rooms were large, clean, and near the beach with a lovely gulf view. The housekeeping team provided top-notch service, but the balcony overlooked a concrete slab from an existing structure.
The hotel offers rooms with the best bed ever and bathrooms with high-quality towels and amenities. The location is convenient for visiting main sights in Abu Dhabi, and it's not far from the airport or Yas Island. The service includes great interactions with employees like Shisha guys Ahmed & Sayed, housekeeping staff Nagaraj, and outside bar staff Satish. However, some aspects of the service can be a bit aggressive at times. The dining experience is awesome with various food tastes, and the price for dining is reasonable. Overall, a comfortable and clean hotel with friendly staff and great location.
My stay at the hotel was excellent. The rooms were spacious and perfectly adequate for my family of four. The dinner buffet was fantastic, and the pool and beach areas were lovely. The lady at the kids club was friendly, and the location was convenient for both the airport and Yas Island. The service was generally friendly, though there were issues with soundproofing in the rooms.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were great, very clean, and had a fantastic view overlooking the beach and pool area. Although the room was a bit far from the elevators, and the bedding was too soft for my liking, the bathroom was spacious and luxurious. The service was a bit slow at times, but the staff, from the reception to the kitchen team, were incredibly friendly and accommodating. The location was excellent, clean, and not overcrowded, with easy access to Yas Mall and Ferrari World. However, the swimming area was more suitable for kids than adults. The dining experience was exceptional, with a wide variety of delicious options, and the facilities were top-notch.
The hotel offers spacious and well-appointed rooms, an excellent dinner buffet, friendly service, and a convenient location for both airport access and Yas Island. However, there were issues with taxi services and long check-in times.
Staying at the hotel was a real treat! The rooms were clean and comfortable, with great views from higher floors, while the staff was incredibly accommodating. The dining experience was varied and extensive, offering a fantastic buffet spread. The location was perfect for those seeking a quiet holiday retreat, though being on the outskirts of Abu Dhabi might not suit everyone.
