DIFC Trip

Good hotel. Beach was best main pool too busy/noisy

The meals and dining option was a disappointment. Breakfast was the same everyday I was tired of eggs by the 3rd day. They often only change one ingredient in the meal options daily. Example, chocolate chip pancakes change to raisin or the chick peas in the Indian vegetarian option change to green peas. Don’t bother to bring anything classy to wear to the “restaurants.” ALL meals are buffet style including the specialty restaurants you must use the RIU app to make reservation for. I also noticed three people sticking their hands directly into the buffet tray and popping the food directly in their mouth. I notified staff and they didn’t even remove the tray. For late night they only have burgers, hotdogs and mini chocolate muffins. One morning I went to the continental breakfast only to see the leftovers from the late night food options. I notified front desk about this. After the 2nd night we stop having dinner there and just go out to eat a late lunch and have dinner before we get back. The staff was pleasant, rooms kept clean and the beach has ample lounge chairs and umbrella. Was difficult to use the pool as their were filled with kids. Overall I wouldn’t go back.

Perfect place to stay, extremely convenient walk to the Dubai Marina.

Property itself was very nice
