What guests think

At The Ritz-Carlton Ras Al Khaimah, Al Wadi Desert, guests praise standout, personal service and a serene desert nature-reserve setting, with spacious private-pool villas and calming views creating a luxurious, secluded escape that many describe as unforgettable.

Facilities impress, especially the spa and rainforest, though some found the temporary gym limited and the main pool below five-star expectations. Food quality is widely appreciated, yet dinner pricing, half-board restrictions (including charged water), occasional breakfast lapses, and periods with fewer open restaurants disappointed several guests. Cleanliness is generally strong, but a few mention dated areas that could use fresh paint. Expect a tranquil, high-privacy retreat focused on nature and restful downtime.

Hotel e experiência excelente mas tem alguns pontos a melhorar, como por ex pegamos sistema meia pensão e quando fomos jantar não podia escolher o prato pois so 1 era incluído!! Que era frango, qualquer outro teria que pagar água normal cobraram tbm!! Sobremesa também não era todas incluídas ! Acho que bebida alcoólica tudo bem mas cobrar a água no jantar ? A academia é boa porém falta muitos aparelhos, estrutura excelente e funcionários sensacionais precisando de uma nova pintura, voltaria mas eles precisam melhorar o sistema de alimentação

Sehr schönes Hotel. Aus unserer Sicht ein wenig in die Jahre gekommen. Hotel Pool für alle Gäste ist definitiv nicht 5* Level. Eher low level Hotel. Sehr schade. Auch Service beim Pool unmotiviert und langsam. Ein wenig enttäuschend. Sonst schöne Hotelanlage.

Wish we would have stayed longer! We got to ride camels to a perfect sunset with two bottles of champagne! Followed by dinner in the desert! Absolutely the best dinner we had in Dubi! Wow! Moon light views! Chef was amazing enough food for 10 we were a party of 4! Staff was over the top helpful friendly, rooms were huge! Private pool with wildlife walking by! The birds were so sounds you heard all over the 500 Acres! Absolutely wonderful! Will Be back for much longer stay! May weather was perfect

Hello. I stayed 2 night to celebrate my husband’s birthday weekends. Overall it was great to stay in the villa and pool however disappointed that did not get pre information gym and restaurant on the construction. The gym is temporary small space to use which is disappointed it. Also only two restaurant available during i stay , very very disappointed it. Its in the middle of desert which is no where to go eat outside. It would be nice to let guest know if anything not available during the stay.

The staffs are always ready to serve, with much enthusiasm even though some of them were working the night before. It was truly an amazing stay, made special by the staffs. Kudos to Ritz. Will definitely return back in the future.
