Celebrated our anniversary at The Ritz Shore House Restaurant and it was nothing short of amazing , cozy and warm !! My husband was well received by Mr Anul earlier in the afternoon who guided him on how to make the dinner memorable (including the little surprise decoration ☺️) and ensuring we would both enjoy the menu. What an efficient guy. We had the scallops special 10/10 , potato leek soup 10/10 , lamb chops 10/10 , bass 10/10, mashed potato 10/10 and then cake + gelato for dessert - massive shout out to the chefs and kitchen crew . Mr Atul served us so graciously, very pleasant guy answering all our questions and giving us tips on the meals and then the lovely little Miss Moe filled in the gaps and was also our camera person (she has mad camera skills!) It was an overall lovely night and we intended to further our glowing compliments to the manager of the night who visited every table (there were just 2 other tables in our vicinity) except ours … we wonder why 🫠 Shore House Restaurant - highly recommend 🤝🏽💐 Read less

Really nice room with a beautiful private pool and you own private cabana. I would like to say a big thank you to Alina and ArunPrakash who always met us with a big smile and a warm welcome everytime we met at the restaurant. They couldnt do enough and they did our best to make our anniversary special. We would love to come back.

Planned a much needed escape after becoming a mum for the first time. Booked two villas for my husband, baby and myself and for my parents for 3 nights. My baby was newborn and it took a lot of effort to pack up two cars and drive to Ras Al Khaimah. We arrived and immediately upon entering the villas (both) there was a distinct smell of mould.… Read more
Planned a much needed escape after becoming a mum for the first time. Booked two villas for my husband, baby and myself and for my parents for 3 nights. My baby was newborn and it took a lot of effort to pack up two cars and drive to Ras Al Khaimah. We arrived and immediately upon entering the villas (both) there was a distinct smell of mould. Staff admitted this was due to condensation gathering in the bamboo roof. We were offered a new set of villas but faced the same problem - awful smell of damp/mould. As you can imagine we did not want to stay anywhere with mould/smell issues with a newborn baby. So we had to get back in our cars and leave. Very disappointing especially from the Ritz brand. There didn’t seem to be any concern amongst the Ritz team about this. I emailed the manager and they simply suggested I visited the sister property at Al Wadi for our next visit which we did (separate review for this). Read less

The seafood platter recommended by Atul was fantastic! Friendly, genuine service from Atul and very tasty seafood. Would absolutely recommend. We also ordered two cocktails. The tiki torch and something lady. Both well made and presented. Will be back for sure.
