What it’s actually like
A thinly documented two-star near Al Hamra Golf Club, routinely confused with another property
This page is deliberately short, because there is not much that can be verified about Al Hamra Palace Beach Resort. It is a two-star property in the Al Jazeera area of Al Hamra Village, about an eleven-minute walk from Al Hamra Golf Club, with a pool, a gym, a sauna, a playground, a restaurant and free parking. That is close to the sum of what is reliably published. It has no substantial official web presence that we could confirm, and no current rate or room count we would be willing to print.
Two things should give you pause before booking, and we want them stated plainly rather than buried. First, the 6.4 guest score on Hotels.com rests on roughly five reviews. Five. That is not a rating; it is an anecdote with a decimal point, and it could move two points in either direction on a single bad week. Second, several listing sites conflate this property with the separate Al Hamra Residence — some explicitly label it “Al Hamra Residence (formerly Al Hamra Palace Beach Resort)”. They are treated as distinct properties elsewhere. If you book, you may not be certain which one you have booked.

- Facilities: outdoor pool, fitness centre, sauna, playground, restaurant, free parking

Location
The property sits in the Al Jazeera part of the Al Hamra Village area, on the south-western coast of the emirate. The most useful published distance is the walk to Al Hamra Golf Club, at around eleven minutes. That puts you within the wider Al Hamra district, which also contains the marina, the mall and a cluster of established hotels — covered in our guide to hotels in Al Hamra.
Despite “Beach Resort” in the name, we could not confirm the nature or proximity of any beach access from a source we trust. If a beach is why you are considering it, ask the property directly and get a specific answer. Dubai International is roughly 70 minutes away by car.
Rooms
Nothing dependable is published: no total room count, no category list, no room sizes, no bedding configurations. We are not going to reconstruct these from listing-site fragments that may describe a different property altogether. If you are considering booking, ask for photographs of the actual room type, in writing, along with the exact address, and compare that address against your confirmation.
Facilities
The consistently listed facilities are an outdoor swimming pool, a fitness centre, a sauna, a children’s playground, a restaurant and free parking. For a two-star property that is a reasonable set, and the sauna and playground are more than many budget hotels in the emirate offer. Whether all of them are currently operating is not something we can verify remotely, so confirm before you arrive.
Dining
A restaurant is listed. Its name, cuisine, opening hours and whether any board basis is offered are not published anywhere we could verify, and there is no indication that the property is licensed. Plan on eating out in Al Hamra Village, where there are restaurants around the mall and the marina.
Who it suits
On the published facts, it suits a budget golfer who wants to walk to Al Hamra Golf Club, or a self-sufficient traveller who needs a cheap bed in the Al Hamra area and does not mind uncertainty. It does not suit anyone who needs to know in advance what they are buying, which is most people planning a holiday.
What is good
- Walking distance to Al Hamra Golf Club, around eleven minutes
- Pool, gym, sauna and playground, which is generous for a two-star
- Free parking, in an area where a car is close to essential
What is not good
- The 6.4 score comes from about five reviews and carries almost no weight
- Listing sites conflate it with the separate Al Hamra Residence
- No published room count, rates, room types or restaurant details
- Beach access is unconfirmed despite the name
Value verdict
We cannot give one, because the rate is not reliably published and neither is what you get for it. That is an honest answer rather than a coy one. If you find a live rate, compare it against the genuinely documented budget options in our guide to cheap hotels in Ras Al Khaimah, where you can at least see what you are buying before you pay.
Who should skip it?
Almost everyone, on current information. Families, couples on a break, anyone travelling for an occasion, anyone booking non-refundable, and anyone who would find a mix-up at check-in stressful. This is not a recommendation page. It exists so that you can see what is actually known, and decide with your eyes open.

FAQ
Is Al Hamra Palace Beach Resort the same as Al Hamra Residence?
They are generally treated as separate properties, but several listing sites conflate them and at least one presents Al Hamra Residence as the former Al Hamra Palace Beach Resort. Guest reviews also compare the two as different hotels. Confirm the exact property name and street address on your booking before paying anything.
Can I trust the 6.4 guest rating?
Not really. It comes from roughly five reviews on Hotels.com, which is far too small a sample to be meaningful. A single strongly positive or negative stay would shift it substantially. Treat it as a signal that very few people have reviewed the property, rather than as a measure of quality.
Does it actually have a beach?
We could not confirm it. The name includes “Beach Resort” but the facilities lists we found name a pool rather than beach access, and no source we trust describes the beach or its distance. If a beach matters, ask the property for a specific answer in writing before booking.
Bottom line
A cheap two-star within walking distance of Al Hamra Golf Club, with a pool, gym, sauna and playground — and beyond that, very little that can be confirmed. A five-review score and an identity that booking sites cannot keep straight are not a basis for a recommendation. If you book it, book flexibly, confirm the address, and treat everything else as a surprise.
How this page was prepared
Desk research, not a hosted stay. We searched for an official website and found none we could verify, then checked major booking platforms in September 2026 for facilities, location and review data. Where sources conflicted or were silent — room counts, rates, beach access, restaurant details — we have reported the gap rather than filled it. Guest scores are attributed to their source.
