The hotel

A gem of a hotel, the spectacular Ritz-Carlton, Dubai has a wealth of amenities. Guests can enjoy a total of six swimming pools, including two exclusively for children (happily set in the shade!) and one solely for adults. There’s a choice of rooms and suites, including Club rooms with access to the Club Lounge with benefits such as premium alcohol served from 12:00pm-10:00pm and five food presentations! The hotel's Italian restaurant Splendido is something of a local legend. But don't miss Amaseena, their magical tented Bedouin village set right beside the sea, serving traditional regional specialities that can be enjoyed whilst listening to the haunting background strains of the oud and the tabla. As all first-class hotels in Dubai do, this hotel overlooks its own stretch of private beach, where pristine white sands are lapped gently by azure waters. A wonderful place to relax, topping up your tan perhaps, indulging in a variety of water sports or simply reading that book you’ve been wanting to for ages now! There are plenty of shaded areas too, private nooks to call your own, and unbeatable service from the La Baie Lounge. All of this, plus an indulgent spa, exciting kids club and a great location, ensures a holiday you’ll remember forever!

Room was spotless.Bishal-Keshab was probably the most attentive housekeeper I have had in the decade I've been coming to 5 star resorts in the UAE! I'm not one to normally leave a review but felt particularly compelled to say we felt like we had a 7 star service here!

We had a fantastic stay at the Ritz Carlton. The service was top notch and the team were very attentive. We came for both my daughter’s birthday and my wife’s. The Ritz Carlton team made everything very special for them. The house team of Rajeshwar, Rama and Shivin were very helpful. Apsara was amazing in particular. She was very attentive to our daughter, doing little extras to make her stay special. The guest relations team of Noki and Anastasia ensured our daughters birthday was memorable. They provided a Frozen themed set-up in our room with lovely Frozen themed birthday cake. Our daughter was delighted! The breakfast team also arranged a special birthday breakfast for our daughter - thank you! The food was outstanding as were the gym and pool facilities. This was a fantastic stay thanks to the excellent service by the team at Ritz Carlton - thank you to everyone!! Read less
