we planned on a weekend getaway, a different from usual. al raha beach resort had the best to offer. a sumptuous brunch, which gives you a complimentary usage of their pool, sauna and steam bath. from my research, this was the best deal i found.
we headed in a little early in the morning, and paid for the brunch, which starts at 12:30 in the noon. by presenting the bill, we spent a good 3 hours at the pool, beach and sauna. it was a very relaxed morning, and a great family time. we were hungry enough to attack on the spread.
we were delighted to see a huge spread, with a dedicated big section for desserts. there is a good salad bar, and a dedicated section for seafood. they have a big spread, with everything you can think of, but cuisine-vise, the option is just confined.
there is an indian, chinese, continental, emirati/mediterranean and a sushi section. there is enough to eat until you get tired. taste-vise, it is just alright, but not extra ordinary. the desserts are atleast of 15 varieties, but may be just 5 of them are good enough.
i would certainly go here again, as it is a total worth when you plan your day here, and get away from routine, but if its just for the food, there are many other good buffet options.
they could actually do away with a few items on the spread and concentrate on making the rest better.
