Horrible experience!!!!! The water was shut off in our room. The rooms look nothing like the pictures and very old. Your clothes will start smelling dump even in your suitcase with poor ventilation. The toilet was not draining and no one came to fix it. There was no cold water and could not shower. We left with no showers and had to use the lobby restrooms. If you can avoid booking them do so!!!!!!!!!
The only positive was 2 staff members who helped us beyond measures and were amazing Mr. Riyaz and Mr. Ali. They provided guidance to us.

The hotel is near Airport, has a good beach and pool area, stuff are kind and friendly the prices is very reasonable for Dubai and the food is very good but compared to the other hotels in Dubai it is not luxurious and doesn’t have all the facilities that 5 star hotels have at the same time it is chilled and relaxed you don’t need to dress up and it is far from city centre 30 minutes ride I think it is good with family

Riu was great. Compared to other Riu, it lacked mini bar in the room, not all restaurants were available aside from the main buffet. Also entertainment was very specific to kids and not adults. But overall had a good time there.

The value is there for the price. I came during the war times so thr restaurants were not all open which makes sense due to lower occupancy. It is a little further from the downtown/marina areas but a great place to kick back especially if you had kids. It seems to be a very popular destination for locals on the weekends tons of kids. I personally would have preferred an adults only concept and a la carte dining but overall theyre doing good with what that they have. The spa services are great. The beach is massive. There are a few pools to enjoy with swim up bars. There was no pool service (waitresses around the pool) bringing drinks. There was entertainment daily.

Fabulous all inclusive beach front resort with three pools (two heated) and an onsite water park. The dining experience across breakfast, lunch and dinner was exceptional. The range of western, arabic, indian, and italian cuisines available for lunch and dinner were matched with authentic tastes. The desserts were of good quality, of which the warm desserts (blueberry crumble, apple crumble, dates pudding) were some of the best I have had. The cooked breakfasts were made to order. All inclusive cocktails were made nicely with good spirits rather than cheap paint strippers. Short queues at the beach bars which enhanced the experience.

Beautiful hotel, clean room, lots of good drinks. Although the food was not to my liking but with Gods help I managed. Also in the dining room some of the staff ignored me and would pass by me and would go to other tables. when I needed water, tea and my plate to be removed I needed to get their attention every time which was exhausting. After that I felt safe there and the cleaning, front desk and security staff were nice.

The floor was sticky and smelled like it had been mopped with dirty water. The door to the room did not lock. The hallways did not have air conditioning.

Staff were fantastic.
Arrived got a uber from airport from terminal 1 to hotel less than half an hour even in traffic and cost less than £20.When you arrive go through to the short stay car park where staff will guide you to your uber,you will have a code from Uber.Give the code to the staff and this will guide you to your car
Arrived at hotel seen immediately no wait.Allowed to check in and start the all inclusive straight away.We were even upgraded to ninth floor.
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

Family of 5 stayed in 2 rooms for 4 nights. Both rooms were spotless however room 6054 smelled of damp. So we just used that room as storage for our suitcases and we all slept in the other room.

Beds were comfortable. Room cleaning services were great. All inclusive drinks in fridge topped up 48hrly.

Restaurant buffet had a nice variety of tasty food. Kids enjoyed the pool, water park and beach which were just a few seconds walk from the hotel- very convenient.

On our last night were lucky enough to attend an ABBA concert at the hotel theatre which was a nice treat.

Staff were friendly and very helpful. Would stay here again and would recommend.

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.

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.

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
