The Oberoi Beach Resort Al Zorah

L D Roberts

Sincere gratitude to Jay and Mayan, and their team at the Oberoi for providing us with an incredible weekend stay. The dining in the Vinesse was perfect, we had the Angus steak cooked to perfection and the outdoor environment was peaceful and very tranquil. The gym and pool facilities are excellent! The hotel feels private, and exclusive even when at 80% capacity. The grounds are well maintained and we had lots of wildlife to enjoy during our stay, we even had two parrots 🦜 visit us on our balcony. The rooms are 5 star with high end finishes, amazing views, comfortable lounge spaces and excellent entertainment, plenty of great movie channels if you have children or prefer a quiet night in after a nice meal. The spa, massage and wellness facilities are best in class and extensive, there are also a great selection of activities, kayaking and yoga to chocolate tasting, we will certainly try the golf course during our next stay. Thanks again to Mayan and his team for the exceptional service!

Had a blissful and relaxing weekend stay at our favorite serene place, the Oberoi Beach Resort, Al Zorah. This is a perfect place to be in if you want to just take it slow and reconnect with nature. The room, beach, pool and facilities are top-notch. In addition to that, the warm and accommodating staffs who always assure you that everything is being well taken cared of, made our stay more enjoyable. Thanks Hannah and everyone, we will definitely come back.

Great rooms with tall ceilings and great compound with lots of grass, trees. Good relaxation from concrete jungle During the day or evenings they have a DJ playing as well to make the atmosphere or mood better, think her name is DJ Atlanta. She was friendly and even let me mix one song :P And DONT MISS THE BREAKFAST, be sure to try many things

This place is just like any Oberoi hotel. Fantastic service and the location is perfect for a quiet getaway. The rooms are surrounded by greenery and you can hear the waves from the beach if you stay in one of the large villas. Hands down, the best part of this place is the amazing staff who go out of their way to accommodate you. If you have any dietary requirements, they always try and accommodate your requests. Have been here twice, and I do recommend staying in the villas if possible, but the rooms are great as well.

Simply put the Oberoi Beach Resort Al Zorah is one of the best managed properties I've ever stayed at (out of over 100+ five star properties I've visited). Service exceeded expectations at every turn and staff were responsive, warm, and not bothersome at all which is a fine line that many luxury hospitality brands cross all too frequently. I almost always find something at a five star resort that seriously doesn't meet my expectations, but there really wasn't a single thing I could find worth complaining about here. Rooms: 19/20 (highs: huge rooms standard, exceedingly comfortable beds, pillow menu, and all personal care products are either organic or all natural ingredients with no synthetic chemicals and often with ayurvedic formulations; small suggestions the blackout curtains could be a bit more comprehensive and the windows could insulate sound a bit better but overall the room over-delivered) Location & Setting: 18/20 (highs: you can hear birds chirping almost everywhere on the property which gives it a feel very much not what you'd expect being in the middle of the desert, the beach is clean and inviting with picturesque sunset views, resort grounds are green and lush and perfectly maintained; small item worth noting is the resort is about 4 or 5 kilometers south of what looks like an oil refinery and storage facility which is just part of being in the UAE but still it is in the back of your mind whether the air/water might be polluted due to proximity) Service & Ambience: 19/20 (highs: staff accommodated almost every request, provided service with a smile, and weren't overbearing at all, property is 7 years old but feels almost brand new with clean modern design, good house/techno music played at just the right volume throughout the key public areas; small piece of feedback, I asked three staff members about open use of spa facilities including steam/sauna and never heard back on that - for a five star resort these days steam/sauna/cold plunge are basically standard open access facilities for guests) Food & Venues: 18/20 (highs: the Indian cuisine here is the standout as it should be for a brand from the subcontinent, in room dining and breakfast were very good and they delivered breakfast to our room on request which they didn't have to do [special thanks to management for accommodating that request]; Vinesse may not have been a standout in terms of culinary experience, and we didn't eat at Aquario so I can't speak to that venue, but overall we ate very well and were satisfied) Amenities & Facilities: 18/20 (Highs: the main pool is enormous and perfect for luxuriating with ample privacy, it also looks like they are building an addendum to the property with a second pool with a better view to the ocean; the fitness center is well equipped with both a yoga/movement space as well as standard Matrix machines and freeweights; the only downside of the entire property was wellness/spa amenities which again I didn't get a clear answer from staff if the steam/sauna were available for use if you didn't book a treatment, also a spinning machine and a pull up bar would have completed the fitness center) Overall resort score: 92/100 For anyone looking for a luxe staycation less than an hour away from the often jarring busyness of Dubai, this is an incredible escape that should be near the top of your list. One of a rare few five star resorts I have stayed at that really feels like it.
