Guest Reviews

U622KJnickj (10/5): A stay in unusual times…. - My wife and i booked 6 nights at this wonderful hotel in late February 2026 - we weren’t expecting to stay another 4 nights (courtesy of Mr Trump’s war on Iran….!). So the first four and a half days were wonderfully relaxed - the hotel only has 35 individual villas, all immaculate, each with a plunge pool, large outdoor (and very private) area, and direct access to a huge beach (only for use by those 35 villas). The staff were incredibly friendly, professional and attentive, willing to help with any request, and the food at the restaurant (and in-room dining) was excellent (with lots of variety, some off menu requests, and very accommodating for my wife’s vegetarian diet). And then the missiles started flying and our stay was unexpectedly extended…..! We had no idea how long we’d be stuck in the UAE, and worried what would happen after our check out date - we needn’t have worried. Shivraj (the rooms division manager) was amazing - he made sure we could stay in our villa for as long as we needed (no pressure to move on or even move rooms), and he got confirmation from the UAE government that the government would cover the room costs for the extra days). There was no panic from him (or any of the other staff), no drama, but also no sugar coating of the situation - calmness and honesty were needed and provided. That appreciation of Shivraj can be extended to everyone at the resort - after 10 nights they all felt like a second family (they all knew our names, what room we were in, what drinks we wanted at breakfast, etc, etc…!). A special thanks to the team at the restaurant - Su and Moe serving everyday with smiles on their faces, Arun looking after us so well and arranging for us to have a fantastic (off-menu) indian curry one night (and thank you to the chef for preparing that for us). Then thanks to Mario for driving us up and down to reception and the restaurant at all times. Also to his colleague from Pakistan who did the evening shift (so sorry can’t remember your name) - he was really reassuring when the missiles and drones started (that was nothing compared to what his family are used to living on the border with Afghanistan - he helped put things into context) Thanks also to the lovely sri lankan guy who turned down our rooms most days (sorry the cricket result didn’t go your way). The always cheerful gentlemen who provided room service (Vaishak and the lovely man from Uganda (sorry i can’t remember your name either)). Finally thanks to Arun who worked at the beach restaurant, and everyone else we met and who looked after us - not least the friendly and supportive hotel manger.
syedhK8523HE (10/5): ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Hospitality – Truly Felt Like Home - Our recent 5-day stay at Ritz Al Hamra was truly exceptional. From the moment we arrived until the day we left, the level of service across the resort—from front desk to restaurant to housekeeping—was consistently outstanding. What impressed us the most was the genuine hospitality and attention to detail. Throughout our stay, staff members not only remembered my name and my wife’s name, but even remembered how I liked my morning beverage. These small yet meaningful touches truly reflect the Ritz service standards. We were warmly welcomed by Julie at Desk and Mario, who made us feel at home from the very beginning and even remembered the names of our visiting family members later during our stay—an impressive memory and a wonderful gesture. A special thank you to Shivraj (Room Division Manager) for arranging a thoughtful welcome amenity for us. I would also like to recognize some incredible team members who made our stay memorable: • Angelica – for the amazing chai every morning • Moe – always greeting us warmly and even accommodating lunch menu items during dinner • Arun – an outstanding all-rounder who made us feel truly special • Aby – fantastic smoothies and very accommodating, even during our beach dinner • Clark (F&B Manager) – who welcomed us every morning with a smile and the words “welcome home,” which truly made us feel exactly that Few others in restaurant service team: Su, Abdul, Abubakar, Khatidja..deserve the recognition as well. Guest services were also exceptional. Sufyan was always helpful with the buggy rides around the resort, making moving around effortless. The housekeeping team deserves recognition as well—especially Winnie and Suresh—for maintaining the room beautifully every day. At the beach, Arjun provided excellent service and attentiveness. The Highlight: Shore House Restaurant The best part of the resort experience was Shore House Restaurant. It truly elevated our stay beyond expectations. Big shout for New Executive Chef Rahul and his sous Chef Uday. The food here is simply the best in the entire Al Hamra area. We tried restaurants at nearby hotels including Sofitel, Ritz Al Wadi, and Waldorf, but Shore House stood out clearly. The menu is approachable yet refined, with fresh ingredients, perfect portions, balanced flavors, and clean presentation. The service style is exactly what great hospitality should be—engaged, warm, and genuine, never stiff or scripted. Breakfast here is fantastic, and some dishes we absolutely loved: • Fajitas • Wagyu Burger • Wings • Desserts (a must try) The Beach Deck restaurant also served excellent seafood. The Flambé Chicken and Peach Cheesecake were standout dishes. Small Details That Made a Big Difference Luxury hospitality is about details, and this resort truly understands that: • Using the guest’s name • Genuine smiles • Engaged service • Thoughtful care • Flavorful, well-balanced food • Privacy and comfort These are the small touches that transform a good stay into a memorable one. Thank you to the entire team at Ritz Al Hamra for making our stay so special. We look forward to returning.
AlistairH107 (10/5): Great Location - lovely staff - We very much enjoyed our recent stay at the Ritz Carlton - this was our second visit. It is superbly located on a wide expanse of beach and comprises a number of individual villas - our villa was spacious, comfortable and very well equipped. We enjoyed our short walk across the beach to the restaurant which was excellent with good food expertly cooked and nicely presented. The staff throughout the resort were clearly well trained and were friendly and helpful. For golfers the championship golf course next door is very convenient being just a short buggy ride from the hotel. Other reviews mention tired fittings and decor - possibly a valid criticism but the villas are comprehensively equipped and everything works perfectly so not an issue for us. However criticism of invisible management is absolutely valid. During a ten day stay we once saw a manager but we did not know who he was until a member of staff told us.
lottiem272 (2/5): Not a Ritz Carlton experience. Do not be fooled by the photos they post. - I questioned multiple times during my time here if the hotel was truly a Ritz Carlton. The resort is dirty and it is in no way a luxury experience. It was so bad that I went between being horrified, laughing and baffled. The chaos started from the moment of contact. The concierge team who contacted me via WhatsApp do not communicate in a professional manner which would be expected from a ritz Carlton. Our villa checkin was delayed and not ready until almost 4pm which left us waiting at “Shore House”, the hotel restaurant featuring filthy chairs, an uninspiring (and dirty) menu riddled with spelling mistakes and waitstaff with 0 product knowledge. (One waiter needed to check the menu as he didn’t remember the three ice cream flavors available which were vanilla, strawberry and chocolate.) Once arriving in the room we discovered a dusty terrace and bird droppings surrounding the pool. We requested housekeeping to clean this but upon returning saw that it was not fixed. The property does not at all live up to the ritz Carlton standard and there does not seem to be anyone there taking any accountability. The sunbed of the luxury villa was torn with the stuffing coming out. There was chipped paint in the bathtub. There was debris inside the swimming pool at the bottom. The parasol was filthy. The list goes on. The breakfast experience was dismal, the buffet had flies landing on the food that looked unfresh. The waiters forgot items we’d ordered, left ashtrays full and had to be asked to clear the table. The hand towels in the restaurant bathroom hadn’t been restocked, one of the toilets had been soiled and the shower was rusting and not properly installed in the wall. We requested to speak with the duty manager who assured us that he would make sure we would leave happy, however he did not do anything and when we tried to speak to him before leaving we were informed he had already left for the day. We then waited an hour for another duty manager who was equally unhelpful. These things would be inexcusable for a mid-range hotel but for this to be the experience at a “luxury” brand hotel was appalling. One of the staff members at Shore House came to bring an ashtray in a huge oversized jacket and said she was feeling sick. This raised a concern that staff are unable or uncomfortable to request time off when unwell. We ordered room service for dinner, the burrata was rubbery and the salt and pepper didn’t work. We tried calling to ask for a salt and pepper that did work and couldn’t get through. The mushroom risotto and salmon was good but did not make up for such a disappointing experience when it’s such basic things that the hotel is failing at.
L3394JDcristinab (2/5): Disappointing and Unwelcoming Experience from a Luxury Brand - We visited The Ritz-Carlton Ras Al Khaimah with the genuine intention of considering it for a future stay. At the moment, we are staying at Waldorf Astoria Ras Al Khaimah, where this is our second stay, and based on our positive experiences, we were seriously considering switching to Ritz-Carlton next year. Unfortunately, the experience during our visit was extremely disappointing and left us feeling uncomfortable and even humiliated. From the moment we arrived, the attitude at the reception made us feel unwelcome, as if our presence was an inconvenience rather than that of potential future guests. We were offered a short buggy “tour” of the resort, which in reality was no tour at all. We were driven at an uncomfortably high speed through the property, without any explanations. When my husband politely asked the staff member to slow down and explain, he was clearly annoyed and unhelpful. Within less than four minutes, we were brought back to the reception without having seen or learned anything about the resort. What made this even more disappointing is that we have stayed three times at The St. Regis Abu Dhabi, where we received an exceptional and truly unforgettable experience. Knowing that both hotels belong to the Marriott group, it is difficult to understand how the level of service could be so dramatically different. At no point were we asked any questions or offered assistance. For a hotel of such international reputation, this level of indifference toward potential guests is shocking. Sadly, this visit completely changed our perception of the brand.
rickydxb (10/5): An unforgettable visit - Probably the best hotel I’ve stayed at. Amazing friendly staff, relaxing and beautiful rooms. Private pool, scenic garden and direct access to the beach. It’s is expensive but if you fancy a special treat you can’t go wrong here. Shout out to Ahmed at reception and Amir the concierge who made our stay so memorable.
JaroslawS (10/5): great place with amazing service - Beautiful property, very good service, tasty food. Delicious breakfast and good dinner menu. Quiet location, good views of the gulf.
Seaside12413915810 (10/5): Super relaxing beach hideaway - We have had a great experience staying at The Ritz Carlton in Ras Al Khaimah. It’s a relaxed beach vibe. The food was EXCELLENT, Chef Rahul made us a bespoke curry which was the best we have ever tasted and we are used to good curries from Bradford, UK. The jewel in the crown for us are the exceptional service received from the staff, they are polite and always happy to see you, remembering your name and details of what you like to order. In dining: Arun, Arun S, Angelica, SU, Abdul and Mo were stand outs, thank you. Sandeep was always on hand with a buggy at any time day or night. We went outside of the hotel to eat by buggy and then picked up whatever time we wanted. The rooms were impeccably cleaned every day and turn down service, thank you to Winnie and Simon. Amazing massage from Joyce in the spa. Our only issue was that there were elements of the hotel that needed a refresh: cushions, blinds, paintwork etc I think renovations are underway in the villas. Thank you we’ve had a lovely stay. Sally Shore
263jodyw (10/5): A stay that we never wanted to end! - Our stay was perfect… from the moment we stepped out of the car and were greeted by friendly valet, to the very end when we reluctantly had to leave. The epitome of luxury! It was a seamless check-in, followed by a short (very exciting for the children) ride in the golf buggy to our room. Trees lined the pathway as we walked to our private villa, with the view of the sea straight ahead. Waiting for us in our room was a small feast! The children were thrilled to have marshmallows and strawberries to dip into melted chocolate, and then the adults were enthused by the chocolates, welcome drinks and cheese platter! Our room was beautiful! Floor to ceiling windows throughout, leading out to our own private area which included a bath, a private pool and a seating area. As you walked further down the pathway, there were sunbeds in a Cabana type structure, amongst trees and other greenery. The perfect haven! Lying here listening to the waves and reading my book was an absolute dream! The children loved taking their buckets to collect shells, and the lifeguard at the beach was great! He brought over some “special shells” that he knew would be a hit with the children, and gave them some more bags to collect even more shells. The lady at kids club was warm and welcoming, and the children instantly took a shining to her. She made friendship bracelets, applied face paint, sang, and made lots of arts and crafts with them. In the evening, we had dinner on the beach. It was January, so the weather was a little cold. But there was a warm and welcoming fire to keep us cosy. With the fire burning and the water glistening in the moonlight, a calm serenity took hold. The setting was nothing short of perfect. We ordered the seafood platter which was rich in flavour, with the lobster being the best we have tasted! As we were eating dinner, it struck me… all those blinds need to go down before we get the children to bed! However, fear not… when we arrived back at the room, the turn-down service had already taken care of this. Slippers by the bed, dates on the bedside table, low level lighting… a perfect end to the most perfect day! I was then able to sit outside with the cheese platter and my kindle and fully embrace this moment of luxury. In the morning, we had breakfast included. Seeing that it was an alacarte menu brightened my morning. I ordered avocado on toast and added some hallumi, mushrooms and hash browns. It really was absolutely fantastic food quality. I then enjoyed a biscoff lotus croissant complemented by my coffee. Sadly, we only stayed the one night so I could not partake in the mimosa breakfasts which were calling my name. Next time, I will be sure to book two nights instead! We had the most amazing staycation and I hope to go back again in the near future to relive this experience.
Devonw92 (10/5): Relaxing experience - We stayed here as a family for a few nights before heading to Dubai and had a really calm, enjoyable stay. Breakfast at Shore House was great ,they even remembered our coffee orders each morning. Our villa was lovely with a perfectly heated pool, and it was nice chatting with the Scottish manager in the mornings, really helpful with information on things to do and see. We did notice a couple of cats, as mentioned in other reviews, and one was quite loud outside our villa one evening. We mentioned it to Shivraj at the front desk, who came over straight away with security and handled it kindly and efficiently. The next morning they explained that animal welfare had collected the cat, and as an animal lover it was reassuring to hear about the humane catch, neuter and relocation programme. Overall, a very relaxing stay and we’d happily return.
465joang (10/5): Fantastic stay - We stayed here this week as a family to relax before moving on to Dubai, and it was a fantastic experience. The food was excellent, especially breakfast at Shore House. We loved that it’s à la carte rather than a buffet, and Angelica and Arun made every morning feel special. We also ate at Beach Deck ,the food and service were top notch. It was a bit cold as it’s open-air, but a small trade-off. We mentioned to the waiter that we enjoy a good Rioja, and later that evening we were surprised to find a bottle waiting for us in our villa with a lovely setup on the patio ,such a thoughtful touch. We stayed in Villa 22 and Villa 23, both of which felt significantly refreshed since our last visit. Big improvements to the air conditioning and no issues with smells this time. It was great to see the GM, Damon, around the resort chatting with guests, and we really appreciated his recommendations for our upcoming Dubai trip. A special thanks as well to Paulina and Shivraj at reception for arranging early check-in and checking in on us throughout our stay. A shame the boat arrival at check-in is no longer offered, but thanks to the outstanding staff we had a very relaxing stay and would definitely return.
lathikah2026 (10/5): Appreciation for Exceptional Hospitality - I would like to extend our sincere appreciation to Mr. Arjun, Mr. Basharat, and Mr. Sandeep at The Ritz-Carlton, Ras Al Khaimah. The food was exceptional, and the level of care and attention provided throughout the stay was truly commendable. My boss thoroughly enjoyed the experience, and it was evident that great thought and effort were put into ensuring comfort and satisfaction. Thank you for the outstanding hospitality and service.
Excursion39169107674 (10/5): Great Experience at Ritz Carlton Al Hamra Beach, All thanks to Ms. Basharat, very supportive staff - We had done a Wedding Proposal event set up at The Ritz carlton Al Hamra, on the Beach. The Hotel overall is Superb with great Amenities, Ms. Basharat was our point of contact from the hotel to coordinate this event set up. She was very prompt, efficient, very supportive and very clear on what needed to be done. It was great working with her and the F & B team. We had Dinner at the Pool Restaurant, the Steak was Juicy and Amazing. Its a Highly recommended hotel with quite ambience and Superb Service.
795vikramh (10/5): Five-Star Experience in Every Way - An unforgettable experience at The Ritz-Carlton Ras Al Khaimah, Al Hamra Beach. The entire team went above and beyond to organize our proposal, and every detail was handled with exceptional care, professionalism, and warmth. A special mention to Basharat, the Head of Experiences at the resort, who was absolutely outstanding throughout the process. She was incredibly attentive, highly communicative, and truly invested in making the moment perfect. Her attention to detail and genuine dedication made the entire experience seamless and stress-free. The setting, coordination, and service reflected the very best of what the Ritz-Carlton brand stands for. This was a once-in-a-lifetime moment made truly magical, and we couldn’t recommend the resort more highly for anyone looking to celebrate something special.
335maxiner (10/5): Superb Service - We visited for a family Christmas day, the team could not have been more welcoming or supportive. We had specific access needs that were not only supported but the team went over and above to really ensure my family were looked after. Arun and his team were detailed in their preparation for the visit and made it seamless and smooth. Jiyas who looked after our table for the day was a blur as he was so speedy in anticipating our needs. Clark and his team were a joy to deal with at one of their busiest times, and we felt very special indeed. 11/10 all round ... A Beautiful Christmas Day.
sianyibs (2/5): Won’t be returning, huge disappointment - This was our fourth stay at this resort. We come every year from Dubai as a short escape between Christmas and New Year, which makes this experience even more disappointing. Firstly, I want to acknowledge that the staff themselves were genuinely lovely and very attentive in trying to fix the issues we encountered. Unfortunately, the overall experience fell far below what we’ve come to expect. From arrival, things felt off. In previous years you could arrive by private boat, which was part of the charm, but the area has now been filled with sand, meaning access is only by buggy. Our room wasn’t ready, so we went to the main (and only) restaurant. We sat for quite some time without being welcomed, offered menus, or brought drinks, and eventually had to ask. Service was very slow, so we left and went to the sports bar next door (not affiliated with the hotel). When we returned, our villa was ready but clearly very run down —cracked walls, old paint, and generally tired interiors. There was no welcome platter as in previous stays. The outdoor bathtub had no hot water, and later that evening the indoor shower was also only running cold water. The beach was another major letdown. It’s now full of stones and very uncomfortable to walk on so much so that a buggy driver saw me struggling and kindly offered to pick me up. We attempted to have dinner outside, but the lights weren’t working, requiring maintenance to come. While fixing the lights, the entire villa lost power. Room service also forgot our ice order. We then sat for around 30 minutes waiting for power and TV to be restored. Again, the maintenance staff were lovely, but guests shouldn’t be dealing with this many issues. Other points worth mentioning: there is no proper spa, only massages; the food is very average; and overall the resort feels neglected and in need of a serious refurbishment and upgrade. Sadly, what used to be a special annual getaway now feels sloppy and poorly maintained. This was a really disappointing stay, and we won’t be returning
L6693EVkayk (10/5): Fantastic Stay - Stayed at resort for Christmas and was treated to a fabulous time. The resort is just the right size made up of 32 villas but never felt crowded at all, it’s so peaceful. Staff were excellent, very friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. Villas are meticulously clean and spacious with your own private pool, outdoor sun lounging and dining areas, again very private and peaceful. Highly recommend.
565enab (10/5): Amazing Stay @ Ritz Carlton Al Hamra Beach - My husband and I had an unforgettable weekend at the Ritz-Carlton Al Hamra. The atmosphere was incredibly relaxing, especially with the private pool and direct beach access. The ambiance was perfect, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. A special thank you to Sufian and Sandeep for their outstanding service, and to the reception team for making our check-in and check-out process seamless. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a luxurious and tranquil getaway!
D6224HFlindas (10/5): We stayed at The Ritz-Carlton, Ras Al Khaimah in September and had an amazing experience. Everyone was kind and helpful. - We stayed at The Ritz-Carlton, Ras Al Khaimah in September and had an amazing experience. Everyone was incredibly kind and helpful — from the managers to all the staff. A special thanks to Angelica for her kindness and warm smile every day, and to Su, Jiyas, Saed, Arun, Deepu, Sailesh, and Sufian, who always greeted us with positivity and great service. It was our first time at this hotel, but definitely not the last. Truly one of the best experiences we’ve ever had!
julianlambert77 (10/5): Luxurious, tranquil resort hotel - Luxurious, Tranquil, Personal touch, Beautiful scenery, Fabulous Rooms Arun and his team did a great job of looking after us at the Shorehouse restaurant. Great meals at Shorehouse and the Beach Deck. A really lovely anniversary experience
alexsE5113VM (8/5): Great experience. - We had an unpleasant experience at the restaurant the first night, but the F&B Manager (Joel Clark Martin) more than made up for it with his care, generosity and personal attention during the remainder of our stay. If it was not for the first evening, I would rate this property a 5.
infotechskyt (10/5): A flawless celebration – impeccable service, views, and cuisine - We recently marked the successful completion of Phase  of a contract with a client at the Beach Deck of the Ritz‑Carlton Al Hamra (8 Oct 2025). From the moment we stepped onto the terrace, the experience was exceptional. Warm, professional welcome: Mr Arun Prakash and the entire international team greeted us personally, making every guest feel like a VIP. Spectacular Gulf view: The panoramic sea vista provided a stunning backdrop that elevated the whole evening. Culinary perfection: Every starter and main course was seasoned to perfection. The seafood and steaks were expertly seared, the spice balance was spot‑on, and the plating was visually striking. Even with a party of 30, the kitchen maintained the same level of attention you’d expect for a table of two. Consistent, attentive service: Staff kept the pace smooth, refilled drinks promptly, and ensured each guest felt cared for throughout the night. Overall, the Beach Deck delivered a seamless blend of luxury ambience, world‑class cuisine, and genuine hospitality—precisely what a milestone celebration deserves. Highly recommended for both private events and romantic evenings. Would definitely return!
angelinamF5351GK (10/5): Recharge,Refresh, Recommend! - I had my Emirati treatment at The Ritz Carlton Al Hamra Beach, and it was truly wonderful. I was warmly greeted by Ratheesh who kindly briefed me about the treatment. Shinta offered a refreshing welcome drink to start my experience and then accompanied me to the treatment area, which feltlike heaven. The view was heartbreaking, creating the perfect setting for relaxation. Shinta was incredibly friendly and attentive, and the Emirati treatment itself was amazing. I left feeling completely relaxed and rejuvenated. I highly recommend The Ritz Carlton Al Hamra Beach – Spa to anyone looking for truly relaxing and unforgettable experience.
Daniel (10/5): - Amazing place all round, great service as well!
sulshaheen (10/5): Must try experience! - Excellent staff and service, great rooms extremely clean and comfortable and spacious, with a wonderful private swimming pool for each room
laracowley97 (10/5): Amazing stay - Amazing stay at this resort, every single staff member was so friendly, went above and beyond and always had a smile on their faces. The room service staff, breakfast staff and special shout out to Mario and Sufian thank you for making our stay stress free and very memorable.
pparsi (10/5): Perfect Arabian Getaway at the Baha Villa - I stayed at the Ritz-Carlton Ras Al Khaimah in the Baha villa, and honestly it was one of the best hotel experiences I’ve had. The villa felt like a mix between luxury and a traditional Arabian tent — super spacious, beautifully designed, and completely private. The private pool was amazing, especially at night when it was all lit up. There was also an outdoor tub and shower which made it feel extra special. I loved having the outdoor dining area where you could just sit back, eat, and enjoy the views without any disturbance. One of the biggest highlights was having direct access to the beach from the villa. Being able to step straight from the pool area onto the sand felt unreal. Sunsets there were something else. Service was great too — staff were friendly, helpful and always available, but they also gave you your space which I appreciated. Everything was kept spotless and well-prepared. If you’re looking for a private, relaxing, and unique stay, this villa is worth it. For me, it was a solid 5-star experience all the way.
MerseysidePinkie (10/5): A Boutique Retreat with Privacy, Comfort and Excellent Service - We recently spent several nights at The Ritz-Carlton Al Hamra Beach and found it calm, private, and easy to relax into from the very start. The villa had a comfortable, inviting feel and gave us a strong sense of privacy. The combination of indoor comfort and generous outdoor space made it easy to settle in, and the pool quickly became the focus of our time there. Cooling off during the day or sitting out in the evenings felt effortless, and the surrounding grounds added to the feeling of seclusion. It was exactly the kind of retreat we had hoped for. Dining worked very well. The resort has one restaurant, and our half board package included a dine-around option at other hotels, which gave us variety and flexibility. One evening we ate at the Waldorf Astoria’s Lexington Grill, which was excellent and made the package feel great value. Breakfasts back at Al Hamra Beach were relaxed and unhurried, with friendly service that always started the day on the right note. The service throughout our stay was a real highlight. Every member of staff we met was friendly, warm, and genuinely keen to make us feel comfortable. Nothing ever felt scripted or forced, just a natural, welcoming approach that made us feel at ease from start to finish. The atmosphere of the resort matched this perfectly. With only a small number of villas, it never felt crowded, and the overall pace was calm and restorative. The mix of privacy, a comfortable villa setting, and consistently friendly service made the stay highly memorable. We left feeling refreshed and pleased with our choice. For anyone looking for a boutique property where peace, privacy, and warm service come together, this is an excellent option.

Is approx 34 villa on site all with pool and private area , rooms are beautifully equipped , buggie service to take you to the restaurant , beach or outside resorts such as the Waldorf or Sofitel next door if you want to dine somewhere different, I would recommend a 3 or 4 night stay is ample

Alex_leonov (10/5): What a magnificent stay - So I really enjoyed my short week stay at this hotel in RAK . It’s roughly an hour drive from Dxb . Very serene, very peaceful. You re greeted at the small check in reception in a small house . Perfect for hassle free check in , the process is very convenient and fast . Then you re driven to one of 34 villas along a sandy coast with fine mangrove like vegetation surrounding your villas . The villas are wonderful, perfect size for 2-3 occupants. Small but lovely private pool , bathtub , outdoor shower , sunbeds and private access to the sea . Which is a few minutes walk from your villa . Great mini bar , wonderful menu breakfast and restaurant. Very very peaceful resort . Small but comfortable gym . Everything was wonderful . Some minor improvements could be made but I ll take it privately with admins . Lovely stay !) will come back

werslinm (10/5): Great experience - We had a great time at this resort during our kids vacation We chose Ras Al Khaimah for its quiet and peaceful atmosphere and the Ritz Carlton with its beach view was the perfect choice We booked two villas and honestly, you don't even need to leave the villa everything you need is right there In the evening we highly recommend heading to the beach to relax and enjoy the beautiful sunset The beach is clean, and there are lifeguards are there to look after the children The beach is quite long but the hotel provides buggy assistance if needed which is very convenient for our family to and come back from beach Overall it was an amazing stay and our whole family truly enjoyed it

886yashm (10/5): Enjoyed with family - We had been planning this trip for a long time, and finally staying in Ras Al Khaimah especially as the area continues to grow and develop was a great experience After staying at a few hotels we find the Ritz Carlton Beach Resort and it truly exceeded our expectations The kids were so excited especially about the private swimming pool which became their favorite part of the stay, 😜 The beach was incredibly clean and the entire resort felt peaceful and quiet such a refreshing change after the hustle and bustle of Dubai As a family this is exactly the kind of getaway we were looking for Calm, clean luxurious and family friendly My whole family really enjoyed our stay thanks to all the staff who made this saty more memorable
397farih (10/5): great day well spent - It was a great day well spent at the beach! I always choose the shore house because it’s the perfect, peaceful escape ideal for relaxing over the weekend.

Fabienne (8/5): - We recently had a pleasant stay at this hotel, which is positioned in the higher price range. Given this, we expected the rooms to be in an exclusive condition. However, we noticed that some areas, such as the villa furnishings and overall maintenance, could use some improvements. A timely renovation would greatly enhance the guest experience. Despite these concerns, we truly enjoyed our time here and appreciate the beautiful setting and friendly staff.
ralpha532 (10/5): Beautiful stay ! - The stay was amazing ! The team is very genuine! Thanks to Amir, Arjun, Kway, Arun and the fnb team who organised the dinner ! The room and the facilities are great. Every one very helpful and welcoming. Concierge at the reception and FO team were very friendly !
Paul (10/5): Ideal place to unwind and relax - Staff were brilliant. Rooms were a great size and their garden /pool was very good and private. Food was fantastic
dinav604 (10/5): Super excellent Ramadhan Holiday - It’s such an extra decadent stay in The Ritz Carlton Ras Al Khaimah Al Hamra. The check in was super easy. The villa was spacious and complete amneties. The staffs and service was excellent! Special thanks to restaurant team Arun, alina, tun, mukul, deepu, myron and angel (this was my second time visiting shore house since 2 months back). I really enjoy the iftar and breakfast. And also Front Office team for granting the late check out request, and providing the transfer luxury service by the BMW to The Ritz Carlton RAK Al Wadi. Fillend, Pollina, Amin, can’t thankful enough to you guys!!
YuriVanetik (8/5): Private Bali/Seychelles style Hotel in UAE - This is a small bungalow based Ritz owned by the Sheikh in Ras al Khaima together with the huge Sofitel and the Waldorf - both of which are next door. The hotel is nice for couples and offers some privacy. The positive is that the people that work there are nice and attentive. Sundeep was very helpful. You get a very private pool area and beach area. The negative is that once you leave Dubai and Abu Dhabi the salaries drop and this hotel employs solely people from very poor countries. They are not trained in Swiss hotel management schools. They have trouble with English. Communication is difficult. It’s not Ritz Carlton standard. The rooms are very small. All the bungalows are same size. The bathroom offers very little privacy. The technology in the rooms is old. The beach is nice but has lots of shells and getting in the water is difficult. Nevertheless, the hotel has some charm and if you can deal with the drawbacks - not the least of which is the older spa without sauna, steam or jacuzzi - you can enjoy the privacy and come back because there are few options such as this hotel in UAE.
SharonC02 (10/5): Wonderful Time - What an amazing place. The property is just wonderful. Small with excellent service. All staff are really friendly, remembering your name and always asking if there’s anything more they can do for you. I had the most wonderful relaxing massage with Shanti (apologies if spelt incorrectly). One hour of pure relaxation … wonderful, thank you. Alina, Rani, Arun, Shanti, Mario and all the other buggy drivers, our amazing housekeepers alway friendly. Food in the restaurants is good … we ate in the Shore House for breakfast and one night. We also ate at the Beach Deck which was great … right on the beach! All staff were great Maybe just a couple of things the hotel could think about … Rules for Villa etiquette on how to behave outside … no noisy music (very intrusive). No screaming children (especially at 7.30am!!) Maybe putting families in an area together would make them happier away from couples who want to just relax and enjoy the peace and quiet. Thank you all. We do hope to return!
AlistairH107 (10/5): Most Enjoyable Stay - We very much enjoyed our recent stay at the Ritz Carlton. It is superbly located on a wide expanse of beach and comprises a number of individual villas - our villa was spacious, comfortable and very well equipped. It was just a short walk across the beach to the restaurant which was excellent with good food expertly cooked and nicely presented. All the staff were clearly well trained and were universally friendly and helpful. It is perhaps invidious to pick out individuals when everyone was so attentive but Alina in the restaurant looked after us particularly well. For us downsides were few: there are massive construction projects under way in the locality and whilst this work did not affect us - it might have done. Also we had a family of cats living in our villa garden which were quite persistent presumably having been fed by previous occupants. We are OK with cats but others might not be. The Ritz Carlton seems quite good value considering the quality of the accommodation and the quality of the food - although alcohol is expensive as is usual in that area.
Zaki (10/5): - We had a wonderful stay at this amazing property. Everything from A to Z has been impeccable. The villa, the food, the staff and everything one can think of. When there was a slight glitch in one of the services, the staff not only have resolved the matter promptly but exceeded expectations in terms of service recovery. Super highly recommended especially when one wants to escape the busy city.
marcel (10/5): - Following where I left off the last time I was here in Ras Al Khaimah Al hamra beach (Ritz Carlton), continues to give me that "Wow" factor. The villa (#2), service, and the delicious food is second to none, in my opinion. I did not experience any difficulties during my stay nor I have came across any flaws as well. "The entire team", from valet, reception desk, concierge, lifeguards on duty, restaurant staff, all have contributed to making my stay stress/worry-free. I have not experienced the activities that were available at this time due to the peace and quiet I was longing for. Although construction is near by, it did not interfere nor distracted my ability to seek the purpose of my train of thought being restructured. Thank you so much again for the experience.
Christopher (10/5): Great stay - Excellent stay at this property. Very private villas with lovely cabana / pool area and direct access onto large beach. Service levels were excellent throughout. I liked the fact that the in villa dining menu was not too fancy and reasonably priced. I would agree with some other comments in that the 'indoor' layout of the villa feels a touch cramped given the otherwise very large footprint of the villa as a whole, but with a private pool and various lounging areas outside, there isn't much point in staying inside (unless the weather dictates otherwise). Would certainly return.
marcel (10/5): - I had a wonderful time in Ritz Carlton Ras Al khaimah, Al hamra beach. The hotel staff, very professional and friendly. Highly recommend to give this property a try.
YOUSEF M A A E (10/5): - Luxurious, private, clean worth to visit again
Ramzi (8/5): - Second time at this property and it still delivers the right balance of luxury and privacy
Verified traveler (6/5): - Everything was comfortable except showers were cold and requested to fix but still cold and ultimately feeling unwell
Nikola (10/5): A must visit! - One of the best mini vacays ever. We celebrated our wedding anniversary and everything was just amazing. The vila, ambiance, service, beach, water. A special shout-out to the staff, extremely polite and helpful. 10 out of 10!
Verified traveler (8/5): Rak - It was pleasent stay, we enjoyed thanks for your services.
Lukasz (10/5): Big Wow - the best experience in Mena - Amazing extraordinary experience
Verified traveler (8/5): - The room was the more expensive option, I thought because of the view but in-fact it was because of the privacy. In was not told this at check in and the privacy aspect did not help me, I wanted a view....
Maryam (10/5): A small paradise - Just an amazing place, a little paradise. Unfortunately, due to COVID, they seemed to be short of staff so the service was slow.
Verified traveler (10/5): Mid covid stay - We had a lovely stay in the middle of covid. It was great to have a private room with no need to leave. Check in was at the ferry terminal, we had a private boat transfer (5 mins ride) and were driven by golf cart straight to our room. We saw no one other than the staff who were discrete and curious. The accommodation was perfect and the pool suitably chilled given the UAE heat. The difference between the room categories is the level up have a privacy screen so you cannot see in from the beach, but they are closer to the shore. Otherwise I understand they are the same layout. We would definitely recommend it and are likely to return.
Verified traveler (8/5): - The service is very slow specially when make order or asking for transfer by buggy inside the facility
