Reviews
Highly recommended for couples and families !
During our visit, I mistakenly thought I'd lost my pants and approached the front desk for help. It turned out they were in my own backpack all along! But before we realized that, the front office manager was incredibly kind and supportive, always smiling and patiently assisting me. Despite my embarrassing mix-up, they never showed an ounce of displeasure; instead, their reassuring demeanor deeply impressed me.
The rooms and facilities were spotlessly clean and comfortable, and all the meals were delicious – the resort quality is exceptionally high. What's more, all the front desk staff were very friendly and warm, creating a wonderfully comfortable atmosphere throughout the entire hotel.
It was precisely because of this small incident that I was able to appreciate the hotel's outstanding hospitality even more. Thanks to all the staff, we had a truly wonderful experience.
This is a hotel I would wholeheartedly recommend and definitely want to stay at again.
Additionally, the single bed was too small for a 5-star hotel. Even when single beds are provided, they are normally of a good and comfortable size.
I also expected better overall facilities, as they were not particularly impressive for a 5-star hotel. I recently stayed at Waldorf Astoria and Anantara in Ras Al Khaimah, and they were far more refined and truly felt like 5-star experiences.
To be honest, I expected more from InterContinental, as I have visited this hotel brand in many locations around the world. Unfortunately, this property did not meet the standards of other InterContinental hotels I have experienced.
I hope this will be addressed, as little details truly matter and make a big difference.
However, my stay was significantly impacted by a two-day wedding event that took place during my visit. The noise levels were unbearable, taking away from the relaxing atmosphere I had looked forward to. Although the Club Manager did what they could to manage the situation, I cannot overlook the fact that my vacation was disrupted. It remains unclear why guests weren’t notified in advance about the wedding and given the option to adjust or cancel their stay.
This experience was disappointing, especially since I met several returning guests who were equally frustrated by the situation. Dear General Manager, I sincerely hope this becomes a learning opportunity for better guest communication and event planning in the future.
Aside from this issue, the resort itself is beautiful — spacious, stylish rooms, serene surroundings, and first-class hospitality from the team. Under ideal circumstances, this would easily be my go-to destination for a relaxing escape. I truly hope to give the property another chance and experience it as it’s meant to be enjoyed — in tranquility.
Thank you once again: Gerylin, Paula, May, Siva at the Club Lounge, Ali and Gracy at Front Desk.
Chaw is also incredibly polite and kind. She greeted me with a smile every time, and she made sure I had everything I needed without me even having to ask. It’s rare to meet someone so dedicated and genuinely thoughtful.
Her professionalism and positive attitude really made my stay even more comfortable. She is a true asset to the hotel, and I’m genuinely grateful for her hard work.
Thank you, Chaw, for making my experience so wonderful!
