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!

I’ve been fortunate to stay in many nice hotel around the world, and whilst this wasn’t the best (sorry) it certainly lived up to expectations and the service is the best I have ever seen - especially the housekeeping team of Raj, Linn & Neg. They really did go the extra mile throughout the whole trip and made the “Ritz” experience much better.
Overall I could not fault anything within the hotel and would only ask management to review the entrance into the hotel from the street - as this is somewhat dangerous (especially at night) with a pushchair and wouldn’t even like to imagine for a wheelchair user. It would go a long way to see this changed should we visit next year.

OK - low value
Nov 24, 2024F3209GAlexO
We paid over a 1000 USD a night for a very standard, dated, and dark room for two people. The beach area is nice, yes, but the noise is incredible:
-Construction works next door, 7 days a week, at least 12 hours a day
-Skydive jets landing and starting every 15 minutes next door, all day long
-Jetskis in front of the beach
-Partyboats in front of…

We paid over a 1000 USD a night for a very standard, dated, and dark room for two people. The beach area is nice, yes, but the noise is incredible:
-Construction works next door, 7 days a week, at least 12 hours a day
-Skydive jets landing and starting every 15 minutes next door, all day long
-Jetskis in front of the beach
-Partyboats in front of the beach
-Indian weeding with at least 200 people at the hotel, loud music and beachbar closed for this event
Is all of this the hotel's fault? No. It is also Dubai's fault of becoming a horrible Ballermann destination for the rich. But what I definitely expect from such a hotel is COMMUNICATION. If I pay this price, I want to know in advance at least that A) there is construction going on next door and B) there is an Indian weeding at the hotel at the same time.

We stayed at the Ritz-Carlton Dubai for twelve nights. The hotel is rightly highly reviewed as they really do provide excellent customer care. There are not many places you can go where the staff addresses you by your name when you haven’t even met them.
The resort has excellent facilities and a exclusive part of beach for hotel guests alone. The security team is very good and knows who is coming and going so it is very safe for families with young kids. Breakfast is served in the Caravan Restaurant where there is a great selection of fresh food and drinks. The room service team would attend three times a day and ensure everything was left spotless. Overall, We would highly recommend the resort to anyone considering a stay in Dubai!
In particular, we also wanted to say a special thank you to just a few of those that took care of us during our stay:
The valet parking team (Khurram, Waseem, Aleem, Fawad, Faisal, Nasir, Mohan) who provided a great service and took care of our car.
Caravan Restaurant – Javeed, Lisa and Yaninda who paid a lot of attention and care to us throughout our stay, as well Hnin, Syam and Monalisha who welcomed us every morning on our way in.
The chefs who prepared our excellent breakfasts - Dinesh, Prabhu, Sanjay, Neeraj, Kavindpa and Prajwal.
Edwin from security who always greeted us warmly on our way to the beach.
Tirtha, Binod, Nirosh, Rajeshwar who serviced our room.
