Overall Ratings & Reviews The Ritz-Carlton Ras Al Khaimah, Al Wadi Desert

Amazing place!

Unbelievable unique experience ! Highly recommended, impeccable service

We recently stayed at The Ritz-Carlton Ras Al Khaimah, Al Wadi Desert and, unfortunately, were not impressed. The resort felt slightly scruffy and in need of better upkeep and maintenance. Our accommodation—a tented villa with a private pool—was spacious and a nice feature, but it didn’t give us the “wow” factor we expected. Having previously stayed at a Ritz-Carlton in Thailand, which was immaculate, we found this resort lacking in comparison. Housekeeping was rushed, and dust had built up in several areas. Outdoor furniture was missing cushions, and the ones that were there had noticeable stains. Additionally, we noticed black mold under the outer edge of the tented roof and a broken fence post that needed painting. The staff were polite and friendly, but the service didn’t meet the high standards we associate with the Ritz-Carlton brand. We were on a full-board package—breakfast was acceptable, but the dinner options across all three restaurants were underwhelming. Ultimately, my wife and I enjoyed each other’s company and the privacy of our accommodation, but the resort itself fell short. It’s in need of a stronger maintenance program, and the rooms and exteriors could use refurbishment. Sadly, we wouldn’t return any time soon

Very clean and well servicing hotel we would highly recommend it to everyone

It was a truly amazing stay with staff who were incredibly attentive . We celebrated a birthday and were treated at every opportunity . I would definitely recommend the hotel if you would like to have a secluded hideaway with surrounding nature .

The overall experience was excellent, the staff are very polite and friendly, very professional and made our stay as comfortable as possible. The hotel territory is very nice and relaxing, we stayed at al rimal villa it is very spacious and comfortable. Food was excellent also at Kahila restaurant. Thank you for all you efforts.

Best resort experience in UAE!! We loved our stay, hotel facilities are just perfect, and all the staff was just amazing!!

It was breathtaking! Amazing

The staff are amazing

Beautiful nature reserve, with excellent facilities and brilliant and helpful staff. This is my second visit, and I will certainly visit again!

Great property in a beautiful location. Loved the Oryx nature excursion!

Just spent a wonderful three days here. The room and view were fabulous. The staff couldn't do enough for you. The rainforest and spa really worth utilising. A wonderful relaxing mini break. Thanks to all the staff who made it so enjoyable.

Everything was lovely about this place

We had a flawless stay - loved every minute of it.

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.

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

Excellent stay, the staff is very nice, especially AbdelWahab and Karl who were great with us. I recommend this stay to rest outside of Dubai and live a pleasant experience

Wonderful location, excellent views and activities. Very very relaxing. Staff very friendly and helpful overall, only complaint was that they were a bit busy at breakfast and forgot some minor things. Will definitely return soon.

Beautiful room but ok/standard ammenities and common areas. Service was attentive but only one person at reception, spa and cafe therefore sometimes longer than expected (not the typical Ritz experience). Activities must be reserved with time because they get full (wasn't advised this prior to arrival). Spa as well. Good experience because of room but not for the price that was paid for what was expected out of the experience.

It was amazing and relaxing... Thanks so much...
