The hotel

Inspired by the palaces of the Arabian Peninsula, you’ll feel like royalty at the Waldorf Astoria Ras Al Khaimah! In a prime beachside location, 1 hour from Dubai International Airport, there’s an 18-hole championship golf course at your disposal and a world-class spa for banishing any lingering cares. All of this, combined with the legendary True Waldorf Service ensures a memorable stay. When you can tear yourself away from the grandeur of your spacious room or suite, not one but two enormous swimming pools await you – grab a cocktail, a good book and stake your claim on the sundeck. If you prefer to stay active, a few rounds of golf are a must, if only to admire the stunning fairways! Whilst parents are at play, the kids can escape to their very own children’s club, offering a variety of activities. There are also plenty of family excursions to enjoy – desert safari anyone? When it comes to dining, the Waldorf boasts an eclectic selection. Feast on food from around the world, including Europe, Middle East and Japan. There are also more casual options with pizza, pasta and salads served by the poolside or on the beach. After dinner, head to Sijar Lounge, an exclusive lounge that boasts an assortment of premier beverages - ideal for a nightcap!

We visited Waldorf Astoria to celebrate our son's birthday and the staffs are the real stars of this place. Upon our arrival, we were greeted by the beautiful smiles from the valet member, the porters and front desk team (missed to take the names, so sorry). We arrived a bit early but we were accommodated properly and was contacted afterwards to inform that the room was ready. The room was immaculately clean and we were surprised by the arrangements made for our little one's celebration with their personal touch. We truly enjoyed the facilities in the hotel tailored for families especially for kids. The staffs at the pool area were always accommodating and assisted us when needed. The outdoor area is always clean even with construction around. We also visited the Kid's club and since it's our son's birthday, they had prepared a little surprise for him. The place is sufficient for kids to spend time and most especially they were assisted and guided by the staff. Highly commending the great efforts of the culinary team led by Chef Michael for providing the best quality of food when we dined at the Azure for dinner, breakfast at Qasr Al Bahr and ordered food at the pool area. Food were served right away and fresh. The chefs at Azure and Qasr Al Bahr also approached us and made sure that we are enjoying the food. Even at these times, the food quality is not sacrificed and best service is provided to everyone. We will definitely recommend staying at this property and would love to come back again. Read less
