The hype
Families love the endless food and activities, but couples often find it too noisy and crowded.
Rixos Bab Al Bahr - All Inclusive
$200-450 / nakti
Rezervējiet, ja You want a chaotic, high-energy family vacation where the kids disappear into the club and you disappear into a bottomless mojito.
Kāpēc cilvēki to mīl
- Genuine 'Ultra All-Inclusive' that actually includes minibar beer and branded spirits
- Rixy Kids Club is a legitimate fortress of entertainment that parents swear by
- Adults-only infinity pool offers a necessary sanctuary from the splash zones
Ātrs apskats: It’s a loud, massive, fun factory that feels more like a cruise ship on sand than a tranquil desert escape.
Pārskatīts: @raktimes: I took the family here for a weekend escape and it was exactly what we needed. The kids went wild for the water slides, and I loved that our suite had separate rooms so we didn't have to whisper after bedtime. The all-inclusive food was endless!

Reality check
The rooms are showing their age (chipped paint, dated furniture) unless you book the specific renovated categories.
- You have energetic kids aged 4-12 who need constant entertainment
- You drink enough alcohol to make the all-inclusive rate a mathematical victory
- You prefer a lively resort atmosphere over silence and seclusion
Tīrība un apkope
8.5
- Housekeeping: Daily and generally efficient, though they sometimes miss sand on the balcony.
- Bathroom hygiene: Clean but dated; grout lines show age in older rooms, but no major mold horrors reported.
- Maintenance: The biggest weak point—expect scuffed furniture, peeling paint on exteriors, and occasional AC drips.
- Linens & towels: Standard hotel quality; beach towels can be a bit worn/thin from heavy rotation.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells of fresh flowers; rooms can smell slightly musty/humid due to the sea air.

BUJ un paslēptie paņēmieni
Viss, kas jums patiešām jāzina pirms grāmatošanas.
Is alcohol really included?
Yes, including branded spirits (like Absolut, Beefeater) and bottled beer, available 24/7 in some bars.
How do I book the a la carte restaurants?
You must use the hotel's internal booking system/kiosks. Slots open at 9:00 AM for the next day—queue up or log in exactly then.
Is the beach private?
Yes, it's a private stretch of Marjan Island, but the water is part of a man-made lagoon, so it's calm but not 'open ocean' clear.
Can I go to Dubai from here?
Yes, it's about a 60-75 minute drive. There is a RAK Shuttle bus (~30 AED) or private taxis (~300 AED).
Is there an adults-only area?
Yes, the Infinity Pool and its bar are strictly 21+, and there is one accommodation block dedicated to adults.
What is the 'Tourism Dirham' fee?
A mandatory government fee of AED 20 per bedroom, per night, charged separately at the hotel.
Insider padomi
- ✨
The 'Toast 'n Burger' joint is open 24/7 and is the best spot for a late-night post-party snack.
- ✨
Skip the main buffet for breakfast and try the Turkish restaurant 'Lalezar' if it's open for morning service (often quieter).
- ✨
Walk 10 minutes down the beach to 'Super Breeze Bar' for a change of scenery and a licensed pub vibe outside the hotel.
5 lietas, kas jāzina pirms doties
💡The 'sea view' might just be a view of the man-made lagoon channel, not the open horizon.
💡The air conditioning in the hallways can be freezing while the rooms struggle with humidity.
💡You might smell a faint industrial odor outdoors depending on the wind direction (nearby plants).
💡The 'Ultra' all-inclusive wristband is cut off exactly at check-out time (12 PM), unlike some resorts that let you linger.
💡Flies can be an annoyance at the outdoor dining areas during certain seasons—sit inside if it bugs you.
