Fabulous Tie
by A TripAdvisor Member
We had an amazing time at the Ritz Carlton Dubai. The staff were extremely friendly and could not do enough to please us eg. I asked the waiter at the poolside luncheon area what brand of coffee they used as my latte was superb. He asked me how long we would be staying as the following day was his day off and he would pick me some up in the local supermarket! The gym was of a very good standard and so was the room which was at ground level and so led out onto the pool area. The breakfast was also of an extremely high standard
I don't know what the construction areas look like now a year on - yes at the front of the hotel it is a building site but so is half of Dubai. All the hotel activities are at the back of the hotel.
Excellent Honeymoon choice!
by TripAdvisor Member Yaris
I'm writing this review on behalf of my brother who stayed at the Ritz-Carlton Dubai between 27/9 - 4/10 for his Honeymoon. Before he went, he found Tripadvisor most helpful and wanted me to write this review for him.
The room was a Deluxe Room which was very spacious, extremely clean and with a balcony facing the pool area and had partial ocean view. Upon arrival, a small chocolate "Happy honeymoon" cake was waiting for them with compliments from the Hotel.
The hotel grounds were beautiful (if you forget the fact that behind the hotel there is so much construction going on). The pool, the beach, the spa area, was so nice and relaxing, exactly something that honeymooners expect, peace and quiet away of everything and everyone else.
The hotel staff was so polite and always serving people in the best way. The Reception people made all the arrangements for booking in restaurants (their recommendations were excellent), tour operators for a safari in the desert or the city tour, leaving almost nothing for you to worry about.
It is a fact that it is considered a rather expensive Hotel. Believe me though, it is worth every cent. They would definitely go back, on their anniversary maybe. They highly recommend it for a wonderful Honeymoon.
Beautiful hotel, warm and friendly staff. A perfect holiday
by A TripAdvisor Member
My wife and I have just returned from a week at the Ritz Carlton Dubai. It was a wondeful week and the Ritz Carlton and its staff consistently exceeded our expectations.
The hotel is small by comparison to most others in Dubai and for us this was a real advantage. There was a real personal touch to the hotel and the service it offered to guests.
The rooms and facilities are beautifully maintained. The pool area and the beach are quiet and spacious. The adult only pool was particularly peaceful. The restraunts are all of a very high standard. We ate at all 3 and would recommend them all. The Arabian themed outdoor buffet was superb.
Above all else I must compliment the staff from the hotel. They were so warm and friendly and at the same time absolutely professional and efficient. They anticipated your every need and took care of it; consistently exceeding our expectations.
The building work around the hotel is extensive (as it is everywhere in Dubai) at no point did this work trouble us or disturb us in any way. In fact it is quite fascinating to watch at times.
I cannot recommend this hotel enough.
Amazing Service and Beautiful Hotel
by A TripAdvisor Member
I stayed at the Ritz Carlton Dubai with my new bride for part of our honeymoon. We stayed 3 nights from 10/17 - 10/20. From the second we drove up to the hotel the service was excellent. In fact, we couldn't believe how amazing everything was being that we didn't even pay for the room. We used Marriott rewards points and we still were treated like royalty. We too received the Happy Honeymoon chocolate cake in the room, which was delicious. They also placed rose petals on our bed in the shape of a heart on another night and filled the bath with salts and rose petals and left chocolate covered strawberries on the side of the tub. It was very romantic and very noce of the hotel to go out of their way for us.
The room was very large and spacious, with very large ceilings and a fantastic bathroom. Our room over looked the pool and the arabian gulf.
Yes, there was a lot of construction outside the hotel, but the whole city is booming. You can't hear anything and it doesn't disrupt your holiday.
We only ate a few meals at the hotel, but the food was very good for the meals we did eat. The best meal was breakfast. Everything was so fresh and delicious. We left the hotel for dinner one night and went to the Burj Al Arab (Al Mahara). I can honestly say it was nice to see the Burj, but the restaurant was not worth it. It was very expensive and I've had better food in NY or the Caribbean for much much less.
We did have have some spa services at the Ritz which were nice. My wife said her Balinese massage was amazing, but my Balinese massage was just ok, relaxing but not the best I've ever had. I think the spa will only allow same-sex massage therapist so if you are uncomfortable with that, don't visit the spa for a massage.
All in all we loved Dubai and the Ritz Carton there and we plan on going back after the construction is complete so we can see what Dubai has become.
