Old hotel, lacking maintenance.

I have been living in the UAE for six years, but my experience at the Radisson Blu Hotel was unexpectedly disappointing, especially for a so-called five-star establishment. 1. From the first day, I had a feeling that my stay would not match the five-star expectations. 2. The condition of the furniture, including cupboard doors and the TV table, was more in line with a one- or two-star hotel rather than a luxury property. 3. The sliding glass doors in the balcony were so unclean that curtains were almost unnecessary. To make things worse, even the curtains seemed outdated. 4. My most unforgettable disappointment was at the Breeze restaurant, which claims to be international but is, in reality, a Western-focused restaurant. There were no Indian dishes available for lunch, and only one option at breakfast. This clearly shows a lack of consideration for Indian guests, despite a significant portion of the staff being from India. Thankfully, Mr. Basir was kind enough to assist, but unfortunately, my family and I had to settle for just rice for lunch. 5. On the bright side, the Masala restaurant offered a variety of Indian dishes along with pleasant music. However, it only opens for dinner at 6:00 PM. I strongly suggest extending its hours to include lunch as an alternative to Breeze. 6. While I appreciate the 20% discount given due to the bad experience at Breeze, an empty stomach is not something a discount can fix. 7. Thank you for the two complimentary fruit dishes. 8. The housekeeping team was commendable, consistently following up and ensuring good service. Overall, I would rate this as a three-star hotel by Western standards. It is ironic that the hotel employs many Indian staff members but does not cater to Indian guests properly, despite a considerable number of Indian visitors. Suggestions: Include Indian dishes in the dining options so that Indian guests can enjoy a fulfilling meal.

I have been living in the UAE for six years, but my recent stay at Radisson Blu was unexpectedly disappointing, falling far below five-star standards. 1. From the first day, I had a feeling that my stay would not be as pleasant as expected from a five-star hotel. 2. The furniture, including cupboard doors and the TV table, appeared worn out, resembling that of a one or two-star hotel rather than a luxury establishment. 3. The sliding glass doors in the balcony were so unclean that curtains were almost unnecessary, and the curtains themselves were outdated. 4. My worst experience was at Breeze Restaurant, which claims to be international but primarily caters to Western cuisine. There were no Indian dishes available for lunch and only one option at breakfast, despite many Indian guests and staff at the hotel. Fortunately, I met Mr. Basir, a helpful and accommodating staff member, who was willing to assist in preparing Indian food. However, my family and I had to settle for just rice due to the lack of options. 5. On a positive note, Masala Restaurant provided a variety of Indian dishes with pleasant music. However, it only operates from 6:00 PM for dinner. I strongly suggest extending its hours to include lunch as an alternative to the limited choices at Breeze. 6. As compensation for the poor dining experience, the hotel offered a 20% discount, which I appreciate, but it does not make up for the discomfort of having limited food options. 7. Thank you for the two complimentary fruit dishes. 8. Housekeeping was well-managed, with staff checking in regularly to ensure cleanliness and comfort. 9. Overall, the hotel feels more like a three-star property by Western standards. While many staff members are Indian, the hotel does not seem interested in catering to Indian guests, despite their significant presence. 10. I strongly recommend adding more Indian dishes to the dining options so that Indian guests can have a fulfilling and enjoyable experience.

The soft furnishings and overall look of the hotel feels a little dated, would take very little to make it more modern

The hotel was bright and clean. It’s right on the beach so the rooms get wonderful views of the sunrise and sunset

I don't like giving bad reviews , but this was really disappointing. Buffet food was all really cold ( even cold soup), and many dishes ran out early by 8.30pm Property is run down and walls needs painting and maintenance We found used kids wet wipes and toys in our rooms from previous guest

View, Friendly staff service Pools was very clean

Check in took forever, the room was not ready upon checking in! The hotel is very old and outdated. The rooms are below basic and don’t have anything to enhance the stay.

The staff were very friendly and helpful and accommodating

the room key would stop working every day. 8 times we had to get a new programed key. the paint was coming off the bath. the hair dryer would only work for 1min then over heat. there was little hot water in the ensuite so had to use the main bathroom there was no water pressure at all in either ensuite nor bathroom you could not bond to the tv as the wifi would cut out every 30 seconds wifi horrific order a taxi from the hotel and pay the hotel , an extra $30 for the hotel ???? ice was $15 and the drinks were well over priced as for 5 star ? i would rate it as a 3 at best.

the food was the only good thing the place had to offer. as well as a really cheap drinks oflicence on site

Breakfast should have more of a variety (south african cuisine) as well. Have more swings and play area for kids to play

The friendliness of the staff. How they catered to outer needs and checked on us

The place is fully depreciated, facilities are extremely old, suite was spacious yet disastrously old and depreciated! The hotel rate is five star but equal to 2 stars in UAE level. I recommend any one who is willing to pay the prices they are charging to have another facility that is truly five stars with proper facilities and proper suites.
