My wife and I had a wonderful staycation experience at the Radisson Resort Ras Al Khaimah Marjan Island. We spent 2 days in this property located only an hour’s drive from Dubai. The hotel resort features modern and comfortable rooms, 3 outdoor pools, a spa, and several restaurants serving international cuisine.

The resort is set on a beautiful artificial island archipelago known as Four Coral Islands that opens out to the sparkling seas. You can have a memorable beach getaway in Radisson Resort Ras Al Khaimah Marjan, and make the best of the superb facilities and dining experiences.

Staycation at Radisson Resort Ras Al Khaimah Marjan Island

It’s been a while since we last went out of the city so it’s nice to relax and take a breather. Upon entering the hotel lobby, we could immediately see the private beach from the floor-to-ceiling windows. Check-in was quick and easy, and we were soon in our room with a view of the ocean.

The rooms at Radisson Resort Ras Al Khaimah Marjan Island are spacious, clean, and comfortable. They have all the amenities you need for a relaxing stay, including a minibar and coffee maker.

Bedroom – Premium Room – Sea View and Balcony

We stayed in a Premium room which is located on the higher floors. It has a balcony with a great view of Marjan private beach. The room comes with a king-size bed, cable TV, coffee and tea facilities, in-room laptop safe, hair dryer, iron and ironing board, and plush bathrobes and slipper.

Our sleep experience was really good with the provided pillows and bedding. The room is also sound-proof so we had a very peaceful sleep even if our room was facing the beach area.

The room is spacious and very comfortable with a balcony that overlooks the ocean. We had a great time just relaxing in our room, and watching movies on the flat-screen TV.

Swimming Pools

The resort features 3 outdoor swimming pools. The main adult pool is located on the rooftop in another building and features a pool bar. It is a bit tucked away from the hotel entrance. There is another adult pool, albeit smaller, facing the beach.

Found at the center of the property is the children’s pool. The children’s swimming pool is complete with giant slides, fountains, and water features that make it look like a mini water park.
