The UAE is not only a large federal state, but also a place highly loved by tourists. Emirates are washed by the waters of the Gulf of Oman and the Gulf, and there are numerous expensive hotels on their shores. One of those is DoubleTree By Hilton Ras Al Khaimah 4 *. I would like to tell you more about it.
Location
DoubleTree By Hilton Ras Al Khaimah 4 * is located in a place called Ras Al Khaimah. This is the emirate, located in the north of the UAE. And here it will be interesting to everyone - both people who are fond of exploring local attractions, and lovers of beach holidays. And each of them must visit the ancient city called Julfar.
The airport from the hotel can be reached in 20-25 minutes. The ideal distance is not very far, but at the same time enough not to hear the noise of landing and taking off planes.
And, of course, the beach is just a stone's throw away. You can walk in a minute. The beach is sandy, the entrance to the sea is very convenient, and there is also a bar, deck chairs and umbrellas.
Entertainment
DoubleTree By Hilton Ras Al Khaimah 4 * has tons of ways to have a good time. It features an outdoor swimming pool, garden and sun terrace. There is also a fitness center with a variety of fitness equipment, a nightclub with a DJ, and a golf course. In the evening, various entertainment shows are held on site.
The hotel also has a SPA center. There guests can enjoy wellness and beauty treatments and massages. There is also a sauna, a bathhouse and a jacuzzi inside. By the way, in SPA there are Precor cardio machines, which is a leading manufacturer of equipment for gyms. There are also beauty rooms where they do manicures and pedicures. However, the full range of services provided in the SPA can be found on the spot.
Service
In DoubleTree By Hilton Ras Al Khaimah 4 *, as in any other self-respecting hotel of this class, there are a lot of different services, the provision of which can make the rest of tourists as comfortable as possible. For example, the Internet. It is free in public areas. If you need it in the room, you will have to pay 80 dirhams per day or 40 - per hour. This, by our standards, is too expensive - 1,400 and 700 rubles, respectively. However, inflated prices for everything - this is perhaps the most important and only minus the UAE.
But there is free and private parking. In the lobby, guests are offered lockers, concierge services, and a tour desk. There is a ticket office, a currency exchange, a 24-hour reception. By the way, guests can enjoy express check-in as well as check-out.
Other guests can call the nanny so that she can sit with the children taken for rest, use the laundry, dry cleaning or ironing (in which shoes are also cleaned).
other services
In addition to the above, this hotel has a large hall for conferences and other events, a business center and an office where you can make copies of documents and papers, as well as receive / send a fax.
Guests are offered a shuttle service, car rental services, newspapers, food and drinks delivery to their apartments, as well as preparing packed lunches with them on the road.
On the territory there are shops (both food and souvenir) and places for smoking. Guests are also offered special conditions - “suites” for honeymooners, apartments with increased soundproofing, rooms for families, as well as amenities for people with disabilities. However, that is not all. This place also offers the provision of VIP services. Which, in principle, is typical for a hotel of such a high level.
It should also be noted the level of staff training. The hotel staff speak ten languages! Among them are the following: English, German, Spanish, Swedish, Filipino, Chinese, Arabic, Hindi, Indonesian and Ukrainian. People who stayed here claim that there are Russian-speaking workers.
Nutrition
DoubleTree By Hilton Ras Al Khaimah 4 * reviews receive a mostly positive character. Largely thanks to the restaurants and bars that are available on its territory. Guests assure: to stay hungry here is simply impossible. Breakfasts, lunches, dinners - all this is served here. Either for a separate payment, or by default (depending on the paid services).
The restaurant serves delicious hot breakfasts according to the "buffet" system - omelets, scrambled eggs, spaghetti, beans, warm Viennese waffles with maple syrup, mashed potatoes, cereal with milk. Of the drinks - juices, water, tea, coffee. A lot of fresh, soft pastries - both salty and sweet. A lot of meat - bacon, sausages, grilled sausages, ham. Cheese slices are also plentiful. There are even salads and fresh yogurts.
The bars serve a lot of different drinks and treats, but freshly squeezed fresh ones are especially tasty there. By the way, who goes on vacation with children, may not worry that the kids will remain hungry - there are a lot of not too salty and not spicy food.
Deluxe
This is the first, most popular apartment category at Double Tree Hilton. Largely because it is the most budgetary.
The stylish, spacious apartments are 40 square meters. m. The space is divided into a living room and a bedroom, in the middle of which there is a huge 2 double bed. Everything looks very expensive and beautiful. However, in the above photograph, this is visible.
It offers city views. Inside there is a plasma TV with satellite channels, good air conditioning, ironing and toiletries. There is a spacious, bright, clean bathroom with shower and toilet. Slippers, bathrobes and towels are provided. There is a minibar, an alarm clock, a telephone, a safe and a work desk. In general, everything you need.
Price policy
7 nights in this apartment with breakfast will cost two guests 85,000 rubles. This is the minimum price. But the fact is that there are often quite good discounts. Especially in autumn and winter. At this time, this number will cost about 60-65 thousand rubles.
For three people, the standard cost is 105 thousand rubles. under the same conditions. If you have discounts, you can also save about 20-25 thousand rubles.
This apartment can be booked by a single tourist, but this solution cannot be called profitable. 80 000 rubles without a discount. And with it - about 55 thousand rubles.
Other apartment options
There are a few more deluxe suites in DoubleTree By Hilton Ras Al Khaimah 4 *. The photo above shows apartments made in a completely different style. They offer partial views of the bay or mountains. The price for two people a week with breakfast is about 85 thousand rubles. The same as the previous version. At 5000 rubles a room with a direct view of the bay will be more expensive.
Many still book junior suites. Their area is 48 square meters. m. The space is divided into a spacious living room with a huge 32-inch "plasma", a desk, a sofa and a folding sofa that can be used as a place to sleep. In the bedroom there is a huge 2 double bed.
Conditions with amenities are the same as those of the above-mentioned apartments. 122 000 rubles - this is the price of a week of stay with breakfast for two. For three apartments will cost 20 thousand more.
Deluxe Suite
This is another category in the DoubleTree By Hilton Ras Al Khaimah 4 *. Tours to this hotel are sold out quickly, especially if you stay in a deluxe suite. Although it is the most expensive here.
Its area is 75 square meters. There is a large living room, a spacious bathroom and a luxurious bedroom with a huge king-size 2-bed. And, of course, the main “highlight” is the availability of a separate kitchen. It is equipped with everything that is necessary for proper cooking. Sink, stove, oven, microwave, kettle, range hood and, of course, refrigerator. However, the kitchen can be seen in the picture above.
A week of accommodation with breakfast will cost 160,000 rubles for two people. Three guests will have to pay 20,000 more. And for four - 200,000 rubles per week. However, this is the most profitable option (both in terms and price). Per person - 50,000 rubles per week. For the UAE, this is very modest. You can even not order breakfast, then it will come out at all for 36 thousand rubles. per person. There is a kitchen, you can cook it yourself, since there are a lot of supermarkets and shops nearby with a huge selection of different products.
What do the guests say?
After reading the description presented about the DoubleTree By Hilton Ras Al Khaimah 4 * hotel, you can understand that this hotel is good and not cheap. And reviews written by people who have visited this place confirm this fact. If we exclude high prices (everyone here knows, to put it mildly, “solid”, and this should not surprise), then everything is very good.
Tourists note that the staff is excellent. The apartments are cleaned daily, replenishing stocks of shampoos, gels and other accessories. The bed with towels is also replaced with new ones creaking from cleanliness.
There is a bus from the hotel to the local Ras Al Khaimah Museum, as well as to the Manar Mall and the beach Hilton. Transportation also goes to such a famous city as Dubai. But you need to register in the queue in advance, especially if it is just the middle of the season (summer).
There are Russian girls working at the reception, but they work for two hotels, so sometimes they may not be. However, if they manage to find them, they will never be denied advice and help. Anyway, in the UAE, everyone is very friendly and attentive.
By the way, in the UAE there is another hotel with the same name, but only a 5-star. DoubleTree By Hilton Ras Al Khaimah 5 * belongs to the same network. Located in Ras al-Khaimah, on the artificial island of Al Marjan. Hilton Hotel Ras Al Khaimah 5 * and 4 * - the hotels are different, so do not confuse them.
Booking and accommodation
This is also an important topic that should be noted attention. When making a reservation at DoubleTree By Hilton Ras Al Khaimah 4 *, you must indicate your credit card details. The hotel accepts Visa, Diners Club, American Express and Master Card. Some funds may be blocked in the account. This is a guarantee that people really intend to go on vacation.
Check-in starts at 15:00, and check-out lasts until noon. The hotel can accommodate children of any age. There are even special offers for them. For example, a child under 12 years old can sleep in places available in the apartment for free. And for a baby under three years old, they provide a baby cradle. Also free. If a person over 12 years old arrives with the guests declared in the reservation (it does not matter whether the child is or not), 100 dirhams per night (about 1740 rubles) must be paid for it.
If you need an extra bed or cradle, you must inform the property in advance, even when making the reservation request. Guests should receive a confirmation reply on the provision of these berths.
The hotel also recommends that you familiarize yourself with the visa application procedure in advance. And it is worth remembering that in the hotel food for children under the age of 6 years is provided for free. Those over six but under 12 are given 50 percent discounts in restaurants.
This is useful information to remember. In general, booking a room is long before the trip. Firstly, there is a chance to get a good discount. And secondly - prudence will not hurt. After all, the hotel is popular, and there may simply not be any free apartments by the scheduled dates.
Well, this hotel leaves a good impression according to guest stories and description. If you want to verify this yourself, you should go here on vacation.
