This hotel is outstanding. The staff are very friendly and the food is probably the best I have had anywhere. Each night was a different theme - Indian, Mexican, Italian, Asian etc and not a chip in sight! I would recommend the all-inclusive option as the drinks are very expensive at about £6 for a can of Lager and £9 for a Baileys. If you aren't all inclusive you can buy alcohol in the duty free shop actually in the hotel, where a bottle of Smirnoff Ice cost less that £1.
There are several pools to choose from, some are salt water and are not temperature controlled others are plain water and refreshingly cold. It was very, very hot when we went in October approaching 40 degrees some days so the sea and the salt water pools were often like getting in a bath. There is a lovely bay to walk along. There are several restaurants to choose from. If you are all inclusive you get about £14 each knocked off the bill which makes it quite reasonable. The food was so good in the main restaurant that we only did this once.
My one tiny complaint was that there did not appear to be many toilets in the pool areas.
The gym and spa was top notch.
The hotel is in a very isolated area but is absolutely perfect for a luxurious get away from it all holiday. We would definitely go back, perhaps in the Winter when it is slightly cooler.

This Hilton (Resort and Spa hotel mind, not the City Centre Hotel in RAK) is probably one of the best I've stayed in - ever.
Their attention to detail is to be applauded. Cleanliness if first class, decor perfect, grounds maintenance excellent.
The staff are genuinely friendly - they really DO wish you a pleasant morning.
Food and drnk on the all-inclusive package is both plentiful and of high quality.
The location is great if you want a relaxing break. We did. 65 miles from Dubai might not be ideal for some and the surrounding town is not exactly buzzing but for a relaxing chill-out this place is fantastic.
7 pools, several restaurants, perfect beach, water sports, sun loungers and shades, great beach-side villas as well as the main hotel rooms - a perfect destination.
I'd suggest you consider the all-inclusive though. Costs could mount otherwise.
