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!

Takoma Dubai is an absolute MUST. The food, ambiance and survey was a 10/10. Shakti Singh was our waiter and delivered excellent service. This is a definite must. If you are celebrating a birthday, anniversary or simply want to enjoy Dubai through good food, trust me, simply go and try Takoma.

A fabulous 5 star low rise hotel that is my “happy place” in Dubai. The staff are amazing and can’t do enough for you. Unfortunately there’s a wedding reception in full swing this evening, my hotel room patio door is vibrating and I have to catch an early flight in the morning - not impressed 😞 I’ve been told that the music will stop at 10pm - well that’s alright then - not. I get this is a special occasion but what about the other guests and those families with young children?! Can’t believe I’m the only one that has complained. Read less

It was my first time in a Ritz-Carlton hotel and I heard about it by hearsay. Despite the steep price, I had a great experience. Great location, outstanding service level. I recommend the Saturday brunch. Nabaraj, Keshav and Subra did a great job cleaning the room.

We love the location, the view and the restaurants. Also we enjoyed our morning classes at the gym, with particular regard to yoga on Tuesdays. The teacher is amazingly kind and capable of adapting the style and the entire class suiting the clients’ needs.
