Great hotel. For recreation with children . Good cuisine. The warm sea, the child was very comfortable. Good undiluted alcohol. Very attentive staff. On the day of departure from the hotel, if you need to wait for the transfer until the evening, then you can hand over your suitcases and continue to rest. There are rooms in which you can take a shower after the sea, change clothes, use a hairdryer and calmly go to the hall and wait for the transfer.

I was on vacation at the Rixos Bab Al Bahr Hotel and it was an unforgettable stay. The hotel is located on the shores of the Persian Gulf and offers luxurious rooms with sea views.
The hotel staff is very friendly and professional. They are always ready to help and make your stay as comfortable as possible. The rooms are clean and spacious, with modern furniture and amenities.
I would especially like to mention the food at the hotel. The variety of dishes is amazing, and the quality of the products and their preparation are at the highest level. The hotel also has several restaurants where you can taste dishes from different cuisines of the world.
The territory of the hotel is well maintained and beautiful, there are swimming pools, a spa center and a fitness room. Entertainment and a kids' club are provided for children.
I recommend the Rixos Bab Al Bahr Hotel to anyone who wants to spend an unforgettable vacation in the UAE. It is an ideal place to relax with family or friends.
I would like to express my greatest gratitude to Irina for working with the guests of the Rixos Hotel.
The hotel is very good, but not all rooms are of proper quality. However, this issue has been resolved.
If you are with children, and ask if it is worth going? It is definitely worth it.
Food, entertainment, choice of places, pools, etc.
And most importantly, employees immediately respond to questions and solve your tasks. And with people like Irina, you are comfortable, comfortable and you are taken care of. Thanks for the rest.
Great vacation with children.
There are slides, zone 16+.
Wonderful and varied food.
There are 5 swimming pools, a children's play area, workshops for children.
Nice and large rooms.
Clean and equipped beach.
Beautiful territory with restaurants and bars.
We went ultra all inclusive, so the bar was updated daily.
Cleaning every day.
1.15 from Dubai Airport.
The best hotel in my life! The ideal all-inclusive system, convenient location, the first line of the sea. The staff is wonderful, everyone is very friendly and positive. A huge number of opportunities and amenities. I want to go back there already!
The tour is from 22.06 to 01.07 two adults, two children. After reading a bunch of reviews , there was a double impression , but a large number of children 's activities outweighed and did not lose . We are happy with everything! Arriving at the hotel at 10:00, we checked into the 1st building immediately. Premium room . The rooms are not new, but everything is clean, cleaning, towels were changed every day. There is a wide variety of restaurants, no one was left hungry. Children are always busy!) we went to the sea only early in the morning, then the water warms up a lot (this should be understood when you go to the UAE in the summer), pools with gorgeous comfortable water. I definitely advise for families with children, the price-quality ratio is five!
Not 5 stars, but it's worth 4 stars. The service is lame in places. What is stated in the booking conditions must be requested separately. There is no place where you can dry your clothes after the sea/pool. A good children's program for every day. Sand with shells. Overall, it's not bad.
I really liked Rixos! The food is delicious and varied, the service is wonderful! The staff is attentive and helpful! The waiter Osei is just wonderful! Everything you ask for quickly brings! Sayer's guide is just great! She organized a trip for us to go fishing and swimming in the Indian Ocean. I will definitely go again and recommend it!
My favorite hotel. The staff is wonderful. Problems are solved quickly. 20.10.24 there was a late flight, the room was extended for 5 hours, and at the same time it was free. Thank you 🤗🤗🤗👍
It's cool that there are three different slides, but why are there ants and spiders in the suite?! I tell you: I am a child and my friend is also a child, our mothers and I came to the slides on the yellow and blue ones it says "attention, the depth of the pool is 150cm, those who cannot swim be careful and there was a red slide. There was one ladder leading to the blue and yellow slide and one red one, and so my friend and I can't swim and without armbands, I remind you that the depth of the pool was not written on the red one, first I slide down, the lifeguard laughs thank God my mother was next to me and my friend is the same, so four stars.There are also several kittens roaming around the hotel.
I liked the hotel as a whole - cozy territory, white sand on the beach, clean sea. A lot of entertainment for adults (sports, restaurants, spas, etc.). I liked the food, animation and entertainment for children (there is even a water park). Many of the hotel staff speak Russian. Categorically did not like the cleaning of the room. In two weeks - removed 4 times. It got to the point that the room was running out of toilet paper, water and everything in the mini-bar. There was even talk about changing dirty towels and bed linen. And there's also very slow Wi-Fi
The complete disappointment of the vacation. They say We went to the Sea, but in fact we arrived in a swamp. Instead of sand - crushed stone crumbs)))) The bay of standing water . The child 2.5 caught an intestinal infection , the temperature is 39.5 , thank you for your time, money and mood .
I hope this review will save someone .
Because I fell for them myself, rating 5.0 and 1000 and reviews, it was difficult to resist.
There were no questions about the Food, and it was really delicious and varied. But this did not save the situation.
It was the best vacation of my life. Very cool hotel. A variety of meals. Fish Seafood everything was. Mango orange juice is not limited. Very polite reception staff. We got a very good guide from a tour operator who helped us with everything in the hotel. My wife and I were vacationing in 2022. Managed to get sick. But there is a pharmacy and doctors on the territory.
The bay is calm, there is an ebb tide. In the evening, he stuffs algae, but starfish also teach.
It's good to relax with children, the main thing is not to go into the children's pool. The beach is clean. The rooms are well cleaned, but repairs have already been required for 10 years - the difference is big with Rixos 2014. The food is ordinary (red fish is not every day), they give orange juice for breakfast, there are a lot of people in the main restaurant during the May holidays. Local alcohol for an amateur
I liked it, the cuisine is very diverse and delicious.
Not a very big bathroom, it's a little cramped.
The territory of the hotel is also not large, but there is enough space for a walk.
The sea is clear, there were fish and sea stars.
I am very glad that there are places + 16, a swimming pool, a beach and a restaurant. Clean territory
For the second year in a row, we visit the UAE at the end of February and choose Rixos.
It works according to the UAI system and includes a lot of useful and interesting things in the price:
First of all, children. They always have something to do at any time of the day. A lot of activity with cooking, mini-disco, two play areas with 12!!! PlayStation 5, a small sports town and a water park with 4-5 slides.
Adults don't get bored either. In addition to the beach, a bar with sofas on the lawn, a lot of attention is paid to sports. This is not only Bocce, volleyball, but also pool games in water polo, cycling, water cycling in the pool, and for those who wish, individual training with a coach. There is not exactly a functional, but a funny wooden gym near the beach (photo).
In the evening, there are two entertainment programs on two stages at the same time. They mostly sing on one, and dance on the other. I would like to write about the group of animators, if you can call them that, separately. This is not as usual in Turkey, one group of 6-8 people, which dances, conducts darts, and entertains children, holds contests with spoons in the pool, and organizes a costume show in the evening. In this Rixos, each specialist is engaged only in his own field. Evening shows with dancing and gymnastic inserts are performed by pros in the show. It can be seen that this is some kind of high-level dance group. Singers turn on the audience perfectly, sometimes in a compartment with alcohol even too much))
The staff at the hotel is responsive and tries to resolve all issues promptly. The girls lost their phone on the first day, it was found in a completely different place from where they thought they had left it, according to the cameras. Then the children scored a tablet in one of the ala-maps. In the morning, I found myself at the reception without any problems.
Meal.
Even a fastidious person cannot blame the poor choice or taste of food. There is everything here and every evening there are different themed dinners by country. Personally, as a lover of spicy food, I gorged on food from a corner of India. Curry with curry under curry dressing and a little more fragrant pepper on top))
We discussed with friends at the end of the trip about our impressions and what are the disadvantages. There was a minus in food. Fresh vegetables! It is unclear how it was possible to find and buy such bad tomatoes and cucumbers with greens. Tomatoes are crunchy plastic, cucumbers and greens are quite bitter.
Restaurants on site. There are about 5 restaurants where you can sign up and it is better to do it immediately upon arrival at the hotel, as the places are quickly dismantled. We were in meat and seafood. It's delicious, but the disadvantages are that the time is limited to 1.5-2 hours. They don't kick you out, but if you stay too long, then the next people may not sit at the tables allocated for them and not immediately.
Outside the hotel.
A great promenade for evening walks or jogging. There is a wide track with a soft surface for runners 4 km in one direction. (Photo) In the evenings, we walked there after gluttony at dinner.
02/26.24 A serious pro marathon for runners is taking place here.
Prices.
We can safely say that the price in this hotel is slightly above average. But for everyone, the average is something different and depends on personal wealth.
The approximate price for 2 adults + 2 children for 8 nights at the end of February is 440 rubles. Whether it's a lot or a little for a great hotel in February, judge for yourself.
Minuses:
- the level of service with Rixos on Palm is only in name.
- the reference group of guests is not for the premium tourist. There are too many families with children from CIS countries who litter a lot on their own
- queues in the dining room, queues are created artificially at the entrance
- the rooms are tired, the smell of a landfill at night from the rooms facing the road, the smell of burnt tires, you can't open the windows
- the sand on the beach is made of broken shells, it hurts to step on
- covering the tennis court and basketball court with asphalt (there is no money to cover it with polyurethane) is the norm for Cuba, not for the UAE
- the Internet is not working in the business center in the only computer, I was never able to work during my vacation (I prudently did not take the laptop)
- there are almost no fruits in the dining room, no mango, no papaya
- in the dining room, the staff did not allow me to pour juices into cups, in their opinion, I have the right to pour juices only into a transparent small glass
Pros: proximity to CANCER, you can open new malls, authentic ones. This is where the advantages end
- I will not discuss the sea, it is the same everywhere (not the Caribbean definitely)
The hotel is not 5 stars at all.
The rooms are an old housing stock that has been in need of renovation for a long time! The room cleaning was terrible and the service included, I had to constantly call the reception asking for "towels, blankets, bathrobes and a toilet.papers)))"
Sun beds on the beach on their last legs (side 16+), towels are thin, washed like a doormat.
In general, you can write for a long time, the "Rixos" grid matches 0!!!
The food is very tasty and varied. This is generally one of the most important advantages of this hotel. Helpful friendly staff, always help. Children are not bored there. The rooms are no longer the first freshness, but everything is clean, comfortable, cleaning every day. If you want a beach holiday with a beautiful refreshing sea, then you are not in the UAE, or at least not in this Emirate. The water is hot, fine, the sand is "not sand". In short, swimming in the Persian Gulf is not very good. Compensates for a large number of pools with cooled water. Cocktails at the pool bars do poorly. There are a lot of vacationers even in summer.
The room is excellent (it was a family room, 2 rooms, one with a bed built for children) - fresh, each room has its own bathroom, the children are happy! The repair is fresh.
A buffet without frills "like everywhere else".
Alcohol by all-inclusive in all bars is local. You have to pay extra for brands.
Show programs are normal.
Children's club - norm. The animators are great, they spend their activities with dedication. There are master classes, although the number of places is limited - you need to come in advance and stand in line to record. In the children's club itself, outside of activities, it's boring - there is a cinema where cartoons are non-stop and everything hangs there. There is a simple lego, well, and tables for drawing. Moreover, the area of the club allows you to come up with something else. There is a children's playground - trampoline, slides, a loophole... Next to the club there is a fenced pool for kids.
Pools are normal. There are enough sun beds, although not near the pool. Towels are also in abundance.
Aquagorks - there are 3 pieces, for children who can swim. without awnings. There is not enough water zone with splashes.
A child of 3-5 years old - in general, it would be boring from the point of view of infrastructure. BUT it saves a lot of Russian-speaking children. They bunch up and find something to do. Older children - more interesting.
The territory of the hotel, though small, compared to Egypt-Turkey, but well-groomed. I would like to have more tall trees and canopies.
The beach is artificial, bulk, there are shells and pebbles along with the sand, but it is normal to go without shoes. In the water, after 10 meters, small algae begin. It would be nice to clean it. Because when the tide is out, you walk halfway across the grass.
The Internet catches, but not everywhere is good. VPN doesn't work well. Audio and video calls via messengers do not pass at all.
Rested in January 2023. The hotel is very decent. For a holiday with children wonderful. Kids' club, animation, everything is on top. The restaurant deserves praise. There is food for every taste.Fruits, drinks are varied and of good quality For Christmas we were given a super holiday. Even oysters were treated. I liked everything very much.
Minus one star for the housing stock. The rooms are tired, they are cleaned somehow, I wiped the dust myself, I had to ask for towels through the reception, the bed linen was changed once in 10 days. If this does not bother you, then feel free to choose this hotel
This location is separate - the hotel is located on an island where construction is going on around. There are no malls or entertainment nearby - just the hotel and the bay.
Now the Riksos itself is not the usual Turkish Riksos with their service, check-in ahead of time is not possible here, as well as staying in the room on the day of departure later than 12-00.
It is very inconvenient with cleaning the room - you need to constantly turn on the cleaning sign and it will be cleaned at best only in the evening, and you also need to constantly remind about the brush, bathrobes and adapters for sockets.
The dining room is also not up to par - the food is not so diverse at all, and very often the same, there is absolutely no seating for such a large hotel 👎
In the bar, I was generally shocked - only local alcohol is bottled , branded only for a fee (the last time I saw this in Egypt)
The hotel is excellent, the staff is friendly, the territory is large, the range of food is impressive near the sea, the beach, but the price ..., and so the hotel is great for a family holiday (Only hotels are nearby, there is a shopping center, but a taxi there is 3 thousand tenge or 388 rubles.
There are a lot of people in the main restaurant, fortunately they meet and bring you to a free table, if you want to eat quietly, book an alakart (5 pcs), carefully look at which day which one works. I gave 4 points, because in 7 days I did not eat a single delicious soup in the main restaurant, only I did not disappoint in the meat goulash! The waiters work quickly, serve and serve drinks.
A beach with small pebbles, shells and in places grass in the sea. There are not enough sunbeds in the morning, sometimes they lie down right next to each other (if they are free). The Russian Federation and the KAZ are resting, so only in the morning before breakfast you need to borrow
Everything was very cool. The service is excellent. The food is great. Crabs, mussels, shrimps, and many more! We were in February. The weather is great. It's not hot, but it's not cold either, the temperature is 28 in the afternoon, 17-20 in the evening. Very comfortable.
So, a fairly large hotel with a huge number of people. The rooms are large and comfortable enough, but it is clear that, to put it mildly, they are not new, after renovation. Somewhere repairs are still underway and during the day there is a constant knocking throughout the building - so much fun if a person wants to sleep during the day. The sea is a stagnant pool of salt water, there is no surf at all, it's terrible. In the heat, it's just a boiled sea and at + 45 it's cooler outside than in the sea...(((
They feed well , in a variety of ways , a lot of meat, ate with pleasure. We are conceptually satisfied with the food. In principle, there are a lot of people, but the hotel handles it normally, there is no antagonism.
Bars, pools - everything is not bad. Sports activities - the order: football, basketball, tennis, water polo, volleyball)) , the gym is normal, only the dumbbell row is too short, ends at 24 kg..(( from the bad : if you arrive in the morning , you will be checked in , but breakfast is not allowed. If you leave in the evening, it will be extended for 1-1.5 hours, but the food is for the money. This is the first time I've seen this. People have to pay, the hotel earns decent money on this))) summary: if you don't find fault too much and have a positive attitude, you can go, you need to go in season, because in summer the sea is boiling water. If the review helped someone, super, I will be glad. Good luck to everyone and have a good rest!

This was the first time we were in this hotel. The emotions are quite positive from the visit: the cuisine is very diverse (different cuisines of the world and topics are covered all seven days a week), a good entertainment program for children and adults. However, there is also a minus here – no entertainment after 23:00 for adults, I would like music and dancing.
The area is very well maintained, green and picturesque. There are quite a few locations for photos of flora and yourself.
There are many pools for all ages: for children, with a limit of 16+ and without restrictions. The water in them is very comfortable and cool.
The Persian Gulf pleases with its hot water, rather stormy fauna (stars, crabs, crustaceans and fish), diving with a mask is the best thing!
The beach is sandy (more like ground shells). The sun beds are in excellent condition, there is also a differentiation of zones – with children and 16+.
The rooms are clean, cleaned every day.
Spacious and well-conditioned inside.
Here, the minus is COCKROACHES.
We met 2 individuals. It was quite upsetting.
In general, everything is great, but additional room disinfection is required.
A super hotel! The staff is attentive and friendly. The food and drinks are at a high level! The room cleaning is clear. Animation with children! Adult zones!
We were satisfied with the rest! The food is excellent, the service is good. The rooms are clean. Separate areas for vacationers with children, which creates comfort for vacationers without children!
Just super. Food, service at the highest level. The beach is great. Leaving the hotel on a very long alley along the sea, walking is a pleasure. There is a minibus to the shopping center, very convenient. Dubai is a couple of hours away, 40-50 minutes by taxi. Tolerable, but the children were tired on the way. I've been there 2 times, it's easy to get there again. With two children, they were given just a huge room with a sea view and a huge terrace at no extra charge. Sheer pleasure
Although the hotel is large, but the dining room, recreation areas, swimming pools - there are a lot of everything and are scattered over a huge area, so there is no sense of a crowd. The food is amazing, the sea is gentle, lots of entertainment for children.
I really liked the hotel, the whole family and children had a rest. Very tasty varied cuisine, Ala carte restaurants, a beautiful coastline and a green area. We will definitely come back
We rested there in August 2023
The room is not big but cozy,
The room is cool, the air conditioning system is thought out, there are no drafts.
Room cleaning without complaints .
The food in the restaurant is plentiful, for every taste.
There were few swims in the sea, because the water is very warm, it is not comfortable.
There are several pools, it's cooler there. There are children's water slides, but very primitive, for kids.
On the second day after the star, a fire alarm went off in the hotels, an evacuation was announced. Everyone grabbed the documents and rushed outside, then everyone was taken to the beach. People were also kicked out of the sea and swimming pools.
Everyone stood in the heat for about an hour.
Then they were allowed to return to the rooms.
It turned out that they conducted exercises and this happens twice a year.
As an apology, a small cupcake was brought to the rooms in the evening.
The incident was very stressful.
Keep this moment in mind when traveling.
I didn't believe in a fairy tale because of my age. But, I really got into an Arabic fairy tale. Live music, food, service, room all at the highest level! We had a rest in October 2023. The water in the sea is +28, the air temperature is 38 degrees. There are a lot of impressions. The rooms are super clean, cleaning is daily. And the fragrance that was present in the hotel is simply amazing!
In order :
1. I take a star for the rooms. The rooms after the restoration still leave much to be desired. There is a stale smell . The room has no balcony , there is no place to dry things . There is no towel rail .
2. Take an adapter with you to charge your phone.
3. The food is good, there is enough food, there is always something very tasty. Shrimp, octopuses, crabs, mutton , fish. No fresh food in the morning is a minus . Pastries , cakes , fruits - everything is delicious . Ice cream👍
4. The sea - there are tides. The tide is at 11-12 days , then the sea is magnificent ! At low tide , it 's like a lake, calm, shallow , not very much .
5. There is a bar on site - mojito, water, beer - whatever you want) any whim - all inclusive)
In general, this hotel reminded me of Turkey for all inclusive.
Great place! We liked it, the children are also delighted. The staff is excellent. Restaurants for every taste, a kids club, pools for children, live music and entertainment every day.
We are having a rest with our family at the moment .
In general , everything is fine !
Of course there are disadvantages, but not critical, it is difficult to give an objective assessment.
It depends on what to compare and what you want to get from your vacation!
The sea is boiling , you can only escape in the pool ,service 5-
Restaurant 5+
Drinks solid 5ka
Rixos is rixos , but of course this is not the rixos if you have been to Kemer or Antalya .
In general, very good. especially at this price.
A gorgeous hotel. The buffet is very varied. There are different dishes every day.The staff is friendly. Entertainment for children and adults.Everything is at the highest level!!!! I recommend it to everyone!!!!
The hotel exceeded all expectations, especially the staff. Beach for 3, lots of rocks and shells. The whole family had splinters in their feet. The food is 5, the territory is 5, not all the restaurants were liked. The room has a view of the road and the sea, the balcony is simply huge. Bathroom with a door and clouded glass to the balcony.
I really liked the hotel! Heated swimming pools, the first line with a bay. Great food. There is a large selection of drinks at the bar. The service is also on the level, the room is clean, the mini bar is replenished every day. There are waiters on the street. I advise you!
Great hotel. Excellent service. Great children's programs, excellent nutrition. We were in Riksos in Turkey and now in the Emirates. I am here now on January 14th, 2024. I recommend. Rixos will report to the brand.
We have been going since 2015, we have already been there 6 times, we go to our dacha!!! Very tasty food!!! The service was top-notch.The staff was sociable and would always help!the room is cleaned perfectly, only the last time the floor was not really vacuumed.The beach was clean!cleaned every day, parents spent all the time there really liked it!!!the drinks were delicious!!!!The territory has always been clean!! She was always cleaned up!
A chic hotel!The cuisine is incredible, there are a huge variety of dishes and everything is very tasty, the chef is a special hello, everyone is very polite, the service is at the highest level.The kids' club also pleased me, the animation is super.The beach is clean, there are a lot of sunbeds.The territory is beautiful, large, there is a place to walk
Nice hotel. From lack of income. The main one is the sea. I would call it a puddle. The grid is close. There is silt and algae at the bottom. The water is disgustingly warm. Swimming is not allowed on the beach in the morning and evening. Bars operate on different schedules. The pool is open until 18-00. I would like more. Everything else is fine.
A little tired room stock. Cuisine and alcohol 5 points. The sea and the beach are ideal for children. We rested in mid-October. In general, it's great for your money. 400k for a family of 2 adults + 2 children and an infant, Emirates flight, it is clear that we were lucky. The kids' club is great. But meeting those who paid 700k for 2 + 2, honestly it was not clear) a good hotel for a fair price!
