Reviews
We booked a sea view room not near the lift & were slightly disappointed as we were tucked in a corner looking at other rooms not the best sea view & were directly behind the lift which was noisy day & night ☹️
The hotel did acknowledge our Anniversary by putting some balloons & 2 towel swans in the room which was a nice touch a greatly appreciated. The food was outstanding, the best quality & choice we have ever experienced. The hotel staff work so hard in the restaurant & behind the beach bars. Friendly staff throughout.
Thank you Riu for a nice stopover
There's definitely an issue with the shower pressure. And the gym. Otherwise, I don't know. Great. Delicious. Fun.
The pool was busy, but well controlled, and all children were directed to the shallower pools. The waterpark was actually so fun too! As two adults, we never thought we’d be running circles to go down the slide. The staff looked like they enjoyed laughing at my fear as much as I did going down them.
The food was incredible too. So many options for breakfast, lunch and dinner, including vegetarian and vegan options, if that’s your thing. Honestly still think about these buffets now that I’m home.
The rooms were spacious and had great air con to combat the Dubai summer heat.
We will 100% be back here!
3 swimming pools so plenty of space.
Shower is a bit slow was the only con.
We stayed at Hotel Riu Dubai for two nights with family, and it was truly a fantastic experience! The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming, which made us feel right at home.
Since it’s an all-inclusive hotel, everything was super convenient — no worries about extra costs for food, drinks, or activities. The main restaurant had a wide variety of delicious dishes, and we also enjoyed dining at the separate Italian and Arabic restaurants. You’re free to eat at any of them as you wish, which was a great option.
The highlight of our stay was definitely the pool bars — wow, just awesome! They offered a huge variety of cocktails and alcoholic drinks, all unlimited. Perfect vibe to relax by the pool.
We checked in a bit early at 2:45 PM (though the check in time was 3 PM), and they welcomed us warmly and invited us to have lunch right away. What touched us even more was that after checking out at 12 PM, we were still allowed to enjoy lunch. I’ve never experienced such a thoughtful gesture anywhere else!
The night DJ was energetic and fun — the vibe was lively, and we never got bored. The hotel has three large pools, all super clean and cool, and the waterpark was amazing — my kid absolutely loved it!
On top of all that, the hotel also offers boating and kayaking facilities, which are included in the package! It was a wonderful surprise and added even more fun to our stay.
Overall, this was a perfect holiday spot — fun, relaxing, and full of memorable moments. Totally worth a visit! 👏👏👏
One of the highlights of the hotel is definitely the themed restaurants, which are very well designed and highly recommended. At the beach, there are always enough sunbeds available, including umbrellas, so finding a spot is never a problem.
However, at the pool it is quite difficult to get a sunbed after 8 a.m., especially near the Oasis and Coral Bar. Many sunbeds are reserved with towels and personal belongings, but often remain unused throughout the day, which can be frustrating. Another small downside is that there is no drink service at the beach – guests have to fetch drinks themselves from the pool bars.
On the positive side, there is live music in the afternoons at the Oasis Bar, which creates a very pleasant atmosphere. The lifeguards also do a great job; they are very attentive and take their responsibility seriously.
Overall, this hotel offers a wonderful stay with excellent service, great dining experiences, and a relaxing environment. With just a few improvements around the pool area and beach service, it could be even more perfect.
The kids loved the slides and the pools; even their snack bars and drinks were all loved by my children. I highly recommend this place for a lovely short staycation
PS: don’t miss bingo night!
My husband and I enjoyed our 15th anniversary here at Riu Dubai Resort! The all inclusive rate is so convenient that we were able to rest and chill.
Food tastes great and you’ll never feel hungry here! Fun entertainment at night! Free water-sports! Unlimited drinks! Staff could be friendlier, as some are unwelcoming, but there are some who were great like Arushi from housekeeping who put extra decor for our anniversary and thanks to Ali at the front desk who granted our late check-out request.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay here.
Pro Tip:
Download the Riu App so you can book other restaurants if you want to eat there instead of the hotel restaurant and you can see the events schedules, water-sport activities, etc.
Also, bring your own toiletries as they are sustainable hotel so they won’t provide them unless you request for it.
