Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests frequently praise the Riu Dubai for its delicious and varied food, especially when enjoyed on the outside terrace of the main restaurant. The clean and tidy beach, with sunbeds neatly arranged, is also a highlight for many.

The food options was AMAZING. I found that the cuisine met my expectations. Everything is freshly prepared and mostly not over seasoned.

The room DIDN'T feel luxurious and it was below my expectations.

Balanced experience at this location

easy accesshelpful staffbuilding workbusy restaurant

The hotel provided easy beach access. I enjoyed the convenience of having multiple pools and bars nearby. The hotel was very clean. The staff were helpful.

The hotel is undergoing building work in the surrounding area. There are not many activities around the hotel, so I had to take a taxi often. The main restaurant was very busy at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I found this quite stressful.

the hotel offered multiple pools, and i appreciated the easy access. the beach was very clean, (a big plus for me) and well-kept. the room featured two separate sinks and a rainfall shower. i found this setup quite convenient.

the hotel is a bit far from the main attractions and the taxi ride to the city center took about 20 minutes.

The hotel is situated on a new island development. taxi services are readily available just outside the hotel entrance, providing easy access to city attractions. it takes around 15-20 minutes to reach downtown by taxi. Uber is also a good option.
