I recently had the pleasure of staying once again at the InterContinental Ras Al Khaimah, and overall it was another very enjoyable experience. The facilities and grounds are beautiful, offering a relaxing and luxurious setting with excellent amenities throughout the resort. I was fortunate to receive an upgrade to an Ocean View Villa, and the view was simply breathtaking. Waking up each morning to uninterrupted views of the sea was a real highlight of the stay. The villa itself was spacious, comfortable, and well-appointed. While it remains a fantastic accommodation option, some aspects of the property are beginning to show their age and could benefit from refurbishment to bring them back to the standard expected of a flagship InterContinental resort. What continues to set InterContinental apart for me, and why it remains my favourite brand within the IHG family, is the exceptional quality of its staff. Time and time again, the people make the difference, consistently delivering a level of service that many other hotel chains—and even some fellow IHG brands—struggle to match. A special mention and sincere thank you must go to **Gerilyn in the Club Lounge**. Her dedication, professionalism, and attention to detail are truly outstanding. She works tirelessly to ensure every guest has an exceptional experience, always going above and beyond to make the lounge welcoming, comfortable, and memorable. Team members like Gerilyn are a credit to both the hotel and the InterContinental brand. Despite signs that parts of the property could benefit from some updating, the combination of stunning views, excellent facilities, and truly world-class service means I would be very happy to return and recommend the resort to others.

I had the most amazing experience at IHG I am a long time member of IHG All the people are very friendly and kind A special mention to Adithya in IRD who made my breakfast experience very special. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about the resort and all the places around the resort. I had a bad night of sleep and he asked me about it even before I said anything. And he helped fix the problem almost immediately. I will definitely be returning to the resort very soon

What I enjoyed most about my stay was the exceptional friendliness and genuine hospitality of the entire team. Being recognized as a returning guest made me feel truly welcomed, and the thoughtful birthday wishes throughout my stay made the occasion even more special. A special thank you to Ten at Reception for his outstanding dedication and professionalism. He took the time to show me several different suite options, helping me choose the perfect one for my next visit in September, when I’ll be celebrating my partner’s birthday. His patience and willingness to assist were greatly appreciated. I’d also like to recognize the wonderful Club Lounge team for consistently providing excellent service and creating such a welcoming atmosphere throughout my stay. Finally, a heartfelt thank you to the team at NOHO for making my birthday dinner unforgettable. The surprise birthday cake and the staff singing Happy Birthday were such thoughtful touches that made the celebration truly memorable.
