What a nice change to find a small, very personal hotel in the building site known as Dubai. I thought the place was excellent, very friendly, good service and not too busy even though the place was almost full. I have stayed at most along the beach including the One and Only resorts, Meridians, Burj and must admit i thought... more

The Ritz-Carlton Dubai, what can I say, great Nigerian guy at reception, very friendly, extremely helpful and pleasant hostesses Christina at the VIP Club Suite and great cherry tomatoes at their signature restaurant “La Baie”. Everything else was very poor. This is the first time I have ever felt the need to write a hotel review but the comical farce... more

The service was excellent, on par with other Ritz Carlton hotels. The concierge was friendly and the staff was attentive. The pool was average. The hotel is a bit out of the way so you need to take a cab everywhere, not walking distance to anything. At the same time, if you stayed anywhere else, you'd still have to take... more

Lovely hotel with all the regular stuff you'd expect from a 5 Star establishment but nothing extra special as everything in Dubai seems to be done on a hugely commerical scale. Personally, I don;t see the point of travelling all that way for shopping! The malls (albeit fantastic) are unecessary, unless on a holiday, you are a shopaholic handbag freak... more

We stayed at Mina a Salam for 7 nights before coming here for a final 3 nights. Let's just say that after 1 night we were phoning other hotels to move locations. Not to say that the Ritz isn't nice, but for the money it is nothing compared to the Mina and the staff are not up to par. We... more

Our stay from 18/02/08 - 22/02/08 to say a cultural shock after staying in the Madives for 14 days is an understatement - Dubai is a building site and will be the new Benidorm sad to say but true. Our friends had stayed previously and enjoyed the Residence and Spa 4 years ago (Sept baking hot still a building site!!!)... more

This is the third time I have stayed at this hotel over the last 4 years. Thought I would point out the pros and cons of Dubai and this hotel. Pros Weather is almost guaranteed in Dubai during the winter. Mid Feb was a little chilly in the evening and defintiely take a sweater or pashmina. No upset tummies The... more

Best mistake ever made! Our tour operator had to book us into the Ritz Carlton as our original hotel had over-booked us. What a place! Hotel is the best ever!!! Room excellent, beach & grounds the business, pure luxury, staff first class (especially Jessica @ front desk & Harmony @ front of hotel), WE WILL DEFINATELY BE GOING BACK -... more

We stayed at the Ritz Carlton on the 2nd week of our Honeymoon. The reception staff were very friendly and we did not have to wait for our room even though we arrived early. We stayed in a delux room which was very spacious the beds were so comfortable I even considered buying the pillows etc to take home with... more
