Star rating

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!

prior to arrival we requested two rooms close to reception (1 x king and 1 x twin). upon arrival at 1am (tired) we were given possible the furthest rooms on the property and 2 x king. check in guy was totally unhelpful and unaccommodating despite being REPEAT guests. Director or rooms called next day and offered alternative rooms, but we declined. why should we spend two house of our day to pack and unpack when those two rooms could have been allocated to us in the first place. F&B Luxury property in Dubai, a very competitive market and the Ritz lunch offering is: 1. Al a carte seafood/ meat restaurant 2. Pool bar these are the only two options, so youre pretty screwed if you are vegetarian and/or dont like seafood. we ate in the pool bar at 40 degrees, which was not pleasant, the rest of the time we went out and lost our HB deal. Told the F&B Director why thoughts, not sure he took them in and will implement my suggestions considering he was "in meetings" one day to meet me. Pool Dont leave your sun loungers for more than an hour or they will remove your belongings. we experience this when my wife and i went to the spa and returned hour and half later having spent £300. we were told we didnt inform the pool guys that we are going to the spa and hence lost our loungers. overall very disappointed despite being repeat guests, we certainly wont be returning and the Ritz falls way short of expectations on all fronts. oh an GM no where to be seen!

The hotel was in general very nice with colonial style decor and very clean. Staff in general were very friendly except the staff in Club Lounge could have been a bit more friendlier. Food in the Club Lounge was okay but nothing stood out and in general it was not bad but not great either. The food in Asian restaurant was the same level, not bad but not great either. Same in Italian restaurant. Pool areas are okay but could be much more homey. The service in pool area was also not bad but not great either. Room was spacious and clean. The staff should have taken more effort considering that I have good Marriott Bonvoy Elite status. Read less
