What guests think

At Riu Dubai Beach Resort - All Inclusive, travelers consistently praise the friendly staff, family-friendly pools and beach, and all-inclusive convenience, while noting the remote, developing location and some limits on facilities, entertainment, and late-night options.

Food quality and variety are widely praised, though several guests found specialty restaurants similar to the main buffet, reservations hard to secure, drinks limited, and late-night food basic. Rooms and public areas are described as very clean, with many comfortable stays, but recurring complaints mention hard pillows, small rooms for some, bathroom odors or drainage issues, and occasional construction or flight noise. Families appreciate the splash park, multiple pools, lifeguards, and beach access, yet pools and beach close early and some guests wished for adult-only areas or stronger entertainment. Overall, it suits a relaxed, family-focused resort break more than a base for city exploring.

We enjoyed the resort's quiet atmosphere, and all of the property was very clean. The pools were nice, and the beach was great as well. We ate all of our meals at the buffet - we would like to have eaten at the restaurants, but there were no reservations available due to it being the off-season. The buffet offered a large variety to meet the needs of everyone in our party. The only disappointment was the bar service. The variety of drinks was very limited and the bartenders were unfamiliar with making any drinks other than the cocktail of the day. Overall, another great experience with Riu Resorts.

Do not recommend. Noisy, it’s not 24 hour all inclusive, lots of the dining options are closed, pool closes way too early, the only thing that remains open to eat is the “sports bar” but it has the same few options daily. Pool table out of order, our shower had standing water in it, our mini bar soda was all flat.

Facilities are outstanding. Brilliant staff, I arrived at 11:30 and they checked me into my room early. The food is delicious and top brand spirits with lovely coffee. Cannot fault the food, nice choices. The pools are huge and love the swim up bar. WiFi was never a problem, even 100 metres away on the beach the signal was good. There is nothing to do around the area but as it’s all inclusive why would you want to leave the resort. Saying that, there are always a fleet of taxis outside. My only gripe is the sports bar, you’re not allowed alcohol in the bar!!! Plus, I class this as an international hotel and all they show on the 5 screens are local sports and old seria A Italian club games. During my stay there was the Grand Prix, cricket T20 World Cup, French tennis open, NBA finals, NHL finals and the Euro 2024. Such a shame as I know other Riu hotels accommodate guest requests for major sport. Otherwise a lovely and relaxing stay.

Room lovely two very large single beds pushed together for a double? Plenty of sockets to charge phones etc-they use uk plugs do no adaptors necessary. I am not a foodie but the food in this hotel was my favourite.It’s buffet style.You can book the Asian,Lebanese and Italian restaurant on the Riu app The Riu app is great only works when you are actually in the hotel and you can order things like more towels etc You get a beach towel card which you hand in and get back when you get your beach/pool towels Plenty of loungers by the pools or on beach Italian restaurants Palms very nice chilling lovely food Have a sports bar but you can’t take alcohol in there so you can’t enjoy a drink and watch the game.They also only have one lager and it’s on tap.Drinks are in small glasses so need to go back to bar to refill often. Entertainment team is very enthusiastic. All staff were wonderful.Deira island has lots of building work going on.Dubai warm in day but need a sweater in the night

The hotel was excellent. I will say is I have noticed they do not like to give out face towels. I had to call every day to request it and sometimes twice because they will not bring it right away. Also, I have noted they didn't clean my tub properly or vacuum the floor. I noticed the crumbs on the floor that I have dropped the night before was still there unitil my departure. Lastly, they do not put trash bags in the garbage can you will have to request it.

This was my first time staying at a RIU facility and we had a great time. It was a birthday trip and the front desk staff were very accommodating in moving us away from the construction site. The area is developing and will soon include numerous hotels and shopping centers. The beach and pool is great, but the cleanliness of the pool could be better (the gutters have yellow stain all over them). But the lifeguard does amazing job in keepinh everyone safe and enforcing the no food/drink at the regular pool area. The restaurants, we loved the italian and i enjoyed the lebanese. Buffet was a hit and miss. Breakfast is simple and lunch and dinner have a lot more variety. The unfortunate part was that my mother got food poisoning the last day we were there (during breakfast) and wish there was a vending machine in the lobby with some over the counter medication. She ended up in bed for an entire day with excruciating stomach pains and the "nurse" at the resort was a joke. She cant do anything and when i asked what she can do, she just shrugged her shoulders. I ended up taking a cab to the pharmacy. I did find Antinal which is amazing and paid $3 in one of the mall pharmacies. Overall, we would go back but will be more prepared with food poisoning medication.

It is a pretty property. Every night my bathroom flooded and they would just have housekeeping come clean it instead of fix the problem. On my last night there I wound up missing my reservation because it flooded into the bedroom area. The beds were very uncomfortable. Easy to get lounge chairs. The pools were nice. A nice family resort. Did not care for the mixed drinks.

We stayed at the Hotel Riu for one week. Overall, it was a good hotel and we enjoyed our stay, but there were a few things we didn’t like: • The bathroom design was not very convenient. The walls were made of glass, so if someone used the toilet or shower at night, the light and shadows were visible in the room, which felt uncomfortable and awkward. • There was an unpleasant sewage smell coming from the bathroom, even though the room itself was clean. • The building looked older than expected. We were told it was only about five years old, but it felt more dated. • The bed linens were very clean, but the chemicals used in the laundry caused skin irritation for us. We ended up buying our own sheets to use. Other than that, everything else was acceptable. Transportation was a bit expensive since the hotel is far from the city, so taxi rides added up quickly. The buffets were good, and we also tried the Lebanese and Italian specialty restaurants. However, they didn’t feel very different from the main buffet—many dishes were repeated and there weren’t many unique options. In general, it was a pleasant stay, but with a few issues that could be improved Also WiFi was good but What’s app and Telegram does not work in Dubai

Our main issue was the water in our walk-in shower didn't drain. Personnel checked on this the first day but didn't resolve it. We assumed it was fixed but it wasn't, and we weren't told anything. When we went to use it again, and it still wasn't working, we had to repeat the process of trying to get it fixed and were then told it would take 2 days to fix. We were moved rooms basically across the resort from our other family members who had been right beside us so that was frustrating/taints my review...

Dear RIU Dubai Customer Service Team, I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to express my disappointment regarding my recent stay at your hotel Feb 5-14th. I had emailed customer service several times before our arrival to explain that this was our first trip to Dubai and a special one, as it was my husband’s 50th birthday and has been his dream to come to Dubai. I chose your hotel because I expected a high standard of service from such a well-known chain. Unfortunately, my experience did not meet those expectations. Upon arrival, we were not greeted by anyone, and our driver simply dropped off our bags thinking someone was going to come meet as at the door. We then brought our bags after 16 hour flight and over 24 hour of travel into the lobby ourselves, with no assistance offered to us in terms of getting to our room. Am not letting you know this for any reason but to perhaps make you understand this might need improvement, a little assistance and a cold drink while checking in goes a long way. This was a disappointing start to what was supposed to be a special occasion. While the room itself is nice, we were dismayed to find that it faces a construction zone. While I understand that some guests may not mind, it was certainly not ideal for such an important celebration. Shower was not hot in the mornings, nights too hot. Pool was cold, hot tub were just warm at best. Bed and pillow was super uncomfortable like sleeping on the floor. Would not recommend.

The dining staff were exceptional especially Josephine, who always had a smile on her face and really looked after us. The Spa staff were also fantastic and helped to make our holiday an enjoyably one. Lastly the entertainment staff we exceptional. They worked hard during the day, around the pools, entertaining guests in games and pool activities. Then they were back at night with the evenings entertainment. Becky stood out for us as she was always there morning and night with her happy contagious personality. The splash staff were also very friendly and encouraging to those not as confident. What we did not like was the small selection of drinks at the bar. There was also no bar close to the pool next to the splash, where our son spent most of his time.

Excellent hotel, staff and for us location too. Hotel - this was a great hotel in many aspects, very clean and accommodating, beds were very comfortable. Room had two twin beds, which wasn’t the best considering there was two adults, one child, but quickly resolved, and within minutes we had an extra bed in the room. All areas of the hotel were clean and cleaning staff were out at the crack of dawn making sure pools/pool areas were also clean. Was added bonus to have a mini water park onsite. Staff - everyone was extremely friendly, special thanks to Krishna during check in, so helpful and understanding, and did his best to check us in earlier. Acknowledged it was my daughter’s birthday during our stay and had arranged balloons and cake on the day. All staff were so polite and helpful, from the life guards (Suhail and Ganesh) to all the bar staff and house keeping. During meal times all waiters/waitresses were accommodating and never was there a time where they didn’t ask what we would like to drink. Food/drinks - huge selection of food during meal times, and there was a snack bar too. Food quality was pretty impressive given the large selection. Various cuisines to choose from and same for dessert options. Drinks were always available when we wanted, and beers went down fantastically especially in the heat, as did the piña colada and mojitos. Location - spot on. Not too close to the hustle and bustle but easy to get to. Would definitely visit again!

It was our first time in Dubai. The Riu Dubai Hotel is located not far from the Gold Market; the area is not crowded, and we enjoyed our time there. The staff is great: friendly, knowledgeable, always ready to help and answer questions; Russian speaking staff is also available. The food is various, tasty and the choice is great; you can find what you prefer or to try something new. The “main restaurant’s” hours are 7:30am to 10:30 for breakfast; 12:30 to 15:30 for lunch and 18:30 to 21:00 for dinner; in between these hours, there are places to get “ snacks” which are a full meal just less varied but tasty. The main restaurant is very crowded and busy. Therefore, I would recommend to reserve one of two other restaurants if you want to eat more privately because they are only available by reservation and not crowded. The reservations must be done two days prior. Taxi are always available: 2 types the TAXI by the meters and the vehicles with NO “ taxi” sign ( they are more expensive). I recommend to get “ Taxi” taxi. What I do NOT like is the pool hours: all pools are open until 6 pm only !!!!!! We stayed in Riu for 8 days, and didn’t use the pool at all; every time we were coming back from the tours we booked, the pool was closed already . The bar at the pool was open, but no pool. This was very uncomfortable 😳

Zustand des Hotels gepflegt aber mit Gebrauchsspuren. Taxis vor der Tür, von unterwegs will aber keiner dorthin zurück fahren, da keine Fahrten von dort zurück zu erwarten sind. Auch nicht von der nächsten Metrostation Union. Privatfahrer bringen einen überall hin. Trip Burj Khalifa und zurück ca. 50€. Hotel liegt in der Flugschneise, daher konstant (auch nachts) Flugzeuggeräusche. Am meisten nerven aber nachts die Bagger die am Strand arbeiten. Fazit : Wir hatten einen schönen Urlaub mit beschriebenen Einschränkungen.

Riu is one ofvtwo hotels newly constructed on a new man made palm. The beaches are complete, but other than the two hotels.. Most of the area is a building site. The hotel was fine for our needs. Beach lovely, hotel clean and facilities good. Id say the only two negatives are that; 1 - the flight path is close to the hotel, so expect a bit of noise. (Its not directly over head) 2 - Construction work was sometimes going on late at night nearby. Didnt really upset me but a friend commented on it. Taxis are available at the hotel for trips to the sights of Dubai. Expect between 30- 40 min travel. Would I stay again? Maybe. In a few years that Palm will come to life. I may well take the family.

Stayed 9 nights

C’è un mega cantiere davanti alla struttura perché stanno costruendo dei palazzi e lavorano 12 ore al giorno. Non è stato segnalato in fase di prenotazione e ci è capitata proprio la camera davanti ai lavori cn due bambini piccoli. Dopo lamentele varie, arrabbiature ci hanno cambiato camera… dopo 2 giorni. Il cibo è sempre lo stesso, il mini club è praticamente inesistente e la mattina bisogna puntare la sveglia per scendere i posti in piscina (la gente lascia cose a caso già dalla sera prima per tenere i posti). E nessuno fa nulla… diciamo che non ci siamo rilassati per niente.

I recently stayed at Hotel Riu Dubai with my family and here’s my honest experience: Pros: The property is clean and well maintained. The pool and ocean views are stunning—definitely the highlight of the stay. The hotel feels safe and secure, with key-card access required for each floor. The bars offer a wide variety of drinks, with one open until 2:30am. Taxis are always available, and food delivery services will deliver directly to the hotel. Cons: Room issue: One of our party members had a bathroom leak. Maintenance repaired it, but the leak returned the very next night. Because we booked through Expedia, the hotel said they could not accommodate us—not even with a room change. This was frustrating and unprofessional. Dining: Specialty restaurants were a major letdown. They served the same food as the buffet with very little variety. From day one, we were told all specialty restaurants were “fully booked,” and reservations could only be made two days in advance. Limited amenities: Aside from the pool and beach, there isn’t much to do on the property. Food safety concerns: Food is put out throughout the day (burgers, chicken hotdogs, etc.), but it is left uncovered and not timestamped, making it questionable how safe it is to eat. Transportation: The hotel does not provide complimentary shuttles beyond the property. Renting a car is highly recommended, as taxis add up quickly and there are not many restaurants or shops nearby. Staff interactions: Some of the male staff were

This RIU was pretty basic compared to other RIU’s I stayed at. So I had higher expectations, then what was given especially the entertainment area, there was little to no entertainment. The sports bar did not allow alcoholic beverages inside which was weird since it’s called a “bar”. After 2am security tells you that you can not sit outside and have to go back inside the hotel. The restaurants required reservations but was still a a self serve buffet, which I wasn’t used to since other RIU’s staff actually take your order and serve you. The pool/beach chairs were all reserved by towels with no one sitting there. Although on their policy it states staff will remove towels from chairs that’s not occupied. So good luck trying to find chairs that’s available without towels on it. Additionally, bar tenders did not freestyle alcoholic beverages. You had to order what was on the drink menu. I’ve been to other RIU’s that freestyle alcoholic beverages. Would not recommend
