Dubai Desert Fishing Vacations

The staff from the front desk staff to the room attendant were great and friendly. This was my second time staying there and will again when in Dubai.

The hotel staff are the best thing about the property - they simply cannot do enough to service your needs. We stayed here for a week due to its proximity to the airport and other areas we needed to attend to. The rooms around the central atrium are sufficient but VERY dated. They are dark, old fashioned and the colour scheme and decor needs an urgent revamp. The outer wings have the deluxe rooms and frankly, feel like a whole new hotel. Modern, well lit, spacious and feel like a downtown hotel. However the beds in BOTH rooms were very comfortable. The breakfast is basic but sufficient. There are free shuttle buses to the nearby malls and are a useful addition if you don't mind sticking to their time table. The pool area is well manned and never too busy. The shisha area outside is fantastic with a large LED screen for sporting events. There are other restaurants there but we didn't try Howdy's or the Japanese place. Big shout out to Hasan and the concierge teams for being super heros in the 55C heat and keeping us cool, informed and safe.

Everything is great except what I shared earlier

Another great time at the RIU we can only recommend this hotel it has everything you need the staff can’t do enough for you

This hotel, just open now for 4 months, is truly a hidden gem! It is located in the picturesque Expo 2020 city a 10 minute walk from the subway. It's mostly car free (though there is parking available) and we spent 2 weeks in a truly gorgeous hotel. The staff are all extremely well trained (I think the General Manager Christian Potvin had a lot to do with it and hired some really smart people) I would definitely recommend for those who want peace and quiet waking to the sounds of birds.
