Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently praise the Riu Dubai's stunning appearance and its direct access to a beautiful, clean beach, equipped with ample sunbeds. The all-inclusive dining experience is a highlight, with many appreciating the varied and delicious food at the buffet restaurant; the themed Spices restaurant, offering Asian cuisine, is also a favorite. While some guests have noted the proximity to the airport can result in noticeable airplane noise, the spacious rooms, often featuring comfortable layouts and well-equipped bathrooms with double sinks, contribute to an overall positive experience and are considered a good value for money, placing attractions like Burj Khalifa within a reasonable driving distance.

Fantastic family getaway

family staybuffet optionswimming poolcomfortable room
The facilities suited children perfectly. Buffet food had many options available all day, which really helped with the kids. The rooms offered comfort. We found plenty of sunbeds and four swimming pools. Plus, a short walk took us to the beach (it was all great).
The shower mixer sometimes did not work properly. That was a slight inconvenience.

Excellent Beachfront Getaway

accessible transportationhelpful staffbeachfront locationcompact room
I found the hotel offered accessible transportation when exploring nearby areas. The staff demonstrated a pleasant and helpful attitude . I was impressed with the beachfront location, also the many pools designed for adults and children. My nights included kid-friendly entertainment from 8 to 9 PM each evening.
I noticed the room size was compact. It only had 15m2 of space. This felt quite small, especially considering the sea-view balcony. I think space improvements would add more value.
