Raddison Blu Hotel - Dibba

A mere 90 minutes from Dubai lies the Raddisson Blu Resort, nestled between Hajjar Dibba mountains and 500 meters of beach. If you are looking for a reasonably priced, relaxed weekend out in the mountains however fancy a swim in the sea too, then this location is perfect.




Hosting 3 pools (including a swim up pool bar - key for the summer months), a variety of both smart and casual restaurants as well as water activities including diving and snorkeling, there is plenty to do and eat whilst you are on your vay cay. It is also extremely kid friendly, with plenty of child activities available so parents get a moment to relax and wind down.



The rooms are reasonably sized and clean with shutter windows looking in from the bedroom to the bathroom. Most rooms also come with a balcony or a terrace which walks straight out on to the pool making it easy to go for a dip when the weather gets hot.



Even thought the hotel has most things you would want from a holiday, please note that it is very much a family resort where kids rule the roost, and even though the rooms are nice and clean, our water smelt like sewage meaning we had to change rooms during the middle of our stay (however they did give us an upgraded so it wasnt too much of a hassle..).



Enjoy a stroll down the beach or go and feast on a selection of delicious (and reasonably cheap!) Arabic food at Al Nokhada where service comes with a smile. Soak up the evening sky at breeze bar under an Arabic style tent and enjoy a cocktail or head down to Spa Zen for a bit of R&R.
