The hotel is less than a year old and in great condition. It is well maintained and staff are everywhere. The room I had was mountain facing. It was large and very comfortable. The Elemis amenities provided good quality. There are a number of dining options across the hotel and a nice indoor/outdoor roof terrace with great day time views. The hotel staff are eager to solicit positive online feedback - a little too eager, but understandable as they want a digital footprint asap. They have a carved out section of the Al Aqah beach which is kept tidy with nice views of Snoopy Island. The on-site dive center, Aquanauts.ae, is excellent and was the reason I initially stayed at this hotel. If you’re into diving or water sports in general, they will look after you very well. I would definitely stay at Royal M Al Aqah Beach Resort again.
