The Ritz-Carlton Ras Al Khaimah, Al Hamra Beach

Best stay… if you need privacy this place is the best choice… I must recommend this place, reception desk is very friendly and the service is the best.

Nice hotel everything exultant really we enjoy The hotel is clean and very privet

Special Thanks For the management

My review comes a few months late, but I couldn't not do it. Having stayed in a few resorts with private pool in the UAE, I have to say that this was definitely my favorite. The villa and the garden are big and beautiful! Everything was kept super clean, which I'm sure it's not easy, the private pool was just perfect and having a bathtub outdoors was a nice sruprise as I hadn't noticed it was available before booking. There is direct access to the huge beach, with sunset views, however we didn't use it much because it was the peak of summer. The food was great, it's an a la carte menu but with perfectly sized portions for a nice meal: elegantly presented but bigger than fancy small gourmet portions. I have a lot to say about the staff. They were absolutely the best, as I have noticed they always are in Ritz Carlton banded hotels. There is a certain level of costumer service that I don't see anywhere else. At Al Hamra they're attentive and always available, while still keeping your privacy. A special thanks to Sufian Khan, who was the first person to welcome us there and who we most interacted with throughout our stay. He was always super smiley, friendly and happy when transporting us around the resort, even under the July heat 🥵 On our first night at dinner, Aby stood out for being attentive and soft spoken, explaining patiently the menu and making recommendations. Thank you also to Shivraj Rathore, front desk manager, for the welcome message and for making sure my Bonvoy Account would be rewarded accordingly. At last, the house keeping team did a beautiful job in setting up a special decoration request, not just once but twice, making sure our stay was special every day. The cleaning was always impecable and with perfect attention to detail. Thank you! This is for sure my first recommendation for a Beach Resort in the UAE.

This was our first stay at this resort having previously stayed at the Al Wadi before. First thing to mention is why this has lost 1 point on review. The Al Hamra area is undergoing massive building works and the resort is impacted by this. 7 days a week there was a digger creating a massive boulder pontoon right at the edge of the beach. It was going from sunrise to sunset and it unfortunately does impact on the resort. I am unsure how long this work will go on. The only person who apologised on behalf of the hotel was the F and B manager Clark who did everything he could to make our stay as fantastic as possible. But having mentioned the issue to the front office I was slightly disappointed that a resort manager didn’t make contact with us whilst we were there. Also one day the resort hosted a wedding which is something I know they advertise doing, but we had no prior knowledge of this and a DJ started up mid afternoon which was a bit of a surprise. Perhaps the resort could at least warn people. Now onto the positive bits and there were lots. The rooms are wonderful, with lots of outside space and plenty of places to relax both shaded and sunny, with a lovely pool to cool down in. The housekeeping were great and made sure we had everything we needed. The buggy drivers were great and helpful. The Shore House and Beach Deck served wonderful food and drink and the staff were wonderful with special mention to , Tun, Rani, Arun, Deepu, Aline and Clark the manager they really did everything they could to make our stay wonderful. We took advantage one evening of the dine around option to go to one of the other hotels in the area and it was great. The resort is wonderful and the staff are great. Special mention to Christine who really made our stay special with a wonderful gift at the end. This is a wonderful hotel with great staff, fantastic food and a wonderful location.

Super boutique hotel with just 35 tents, all facing the sea.. the service was amazing. Everyone was super friendly. Breakfast was super tasty and personalised. Gopal the buggy boy and Mohammed and Binood on the beach were very friendly and helpful. I would 100pct visit back. Just one suggestion for management. The sea is devoid of any life.. so may be near the rocks, you can plant some artificial corals, it will greatly enhance the sea life and experience of guests.. its also a good thing to do. Also avoid plastic bottles.. I used up over 20 during my stay and didn't feel good about it.

Been here for nine nights and have to say of the many top hotels we have stayed at around the world the Ritz Carlton Al Hamra Beach by far is the best. From asking for a early check in to being collected for our trip home the services has been amazing, the rooms and grounds around your villa are kept clean we have the pleasure of having Loenard & Auug making our room up every day and the art work we have had on our bed was the best we have ever seen. All the staff always had time to say hello and give you a warm welcome. The staff and food in the the Shorehouse again are unbelievable the team are always asking what you like and are more than happy making it to your liking, going to the length of asking you what you like and suggesting items that are not on the menu but asking the chefs to make it for you and we was not disappointed once. it is hard to mention names of all the staff for everyone of them went out of their way to please us but Alina, Aby, Deepu will be rememberd with great fondness. We definitely will return but leaving was like leaving family and friend’s behind.

When you want to write yet another excellent review on top of the previous 366 ones, you face a challenge. Apart from just adding to the positive statistics, you want to give some added value to the fellow travelers who would read your review. Well, let me try. You can find other resorts comparable to this one when it comes to such a specific concept of the resort, the excellent design of the villas and secluded private garden areas with their own pools, the utmost level of privacy, the quality of food, etc. What really makes this resort stand out is the excellent service attitude of the team: whether at the reception, or at the restaurant, the beach, the spa, etc. Though, hiring great individuals with excellent service attitude alone is not enough; you need to make them work well as a team: to make this happen you need the management. In this resort, you see and feel the good management work behind the excellent service. So, dear fellow travelers, if you are about to make your choice and - for whichever reason - are still in some doubt, let me put your mind at rest: the team at this resort will take a very good care of you and make your stay nice, comfortable and relaxing. And lastly, having stated that the service is in general excellent, let me mention some names of the staff members at the restaurant who made some special impression on us: first of all, Rani is taking really good care of the guests. Moe, Deepu and Tun ensure smooth and attentive service. Special thanks go also to the General Mgr John Halliday!
