The location, staff, and food were excellent. The reception graciously delivered our breakfast to our rooms, even though it was supposed to be served in the restaurant. Every interaction with the staff was smooth and positive. We also saw more animals in the summer than expected.

The cleanliness of the room could have been better; we found trash from previous guests under the couch. The villa we stayed in (Villa 316) had views of other villas on the sides, which detracted from the feeling of desert seclusion. Additionally, the neighbors were loud, which, although not the hotel's fault, might be a result of the villa layout.

I loved the location and ambience . The staff are all warm and welcoming and nothing is too much trouble from the room chambermaids, to the room service/dining. The reception are all friendly, professional and efficient and the welcoming team (I must mention Hussein who was lovely and always had a smile on his face) and the men that drive the buggies are polite, friendly and well informed- I really can’t complain! Thank you for marking my birthday - a lovely touch. The rainforest experience is something you must try and the gazelles and camels wandering about is mesmerising! Best regards and thank you for your efforts! Elizabeth

I have to say I loved everything and I will return in the very near future

Location is amazing. Villa was amazing.

Spa is outdated. The fixtures are not up to standard, not clean and not 100% functional. The hydro pool jets are not all functional. The heated relaxation beds were not functioning. For a Ritz Carlton property, it was quite surprising to see. Many of the menu items were not available which was very disappointing.

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at The Ritz-Carlton Ras Al Khaimah, Al Wadi Desert. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome with their warm hospitality and attentiveness. The service was impeccable, and we genuinely felt that every need was anticipated and met. A special thank you to Mani, Danish, and Joshi from the F&B team, who went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. Their friendliness and professionalism truly stood out, and they made our dining experiences exceptional. Thank you to the entire Ritz-Carlton team for a wonderful stay – we can't wait to return!

We stayed in one of the Al Rimal Villas which was a great space for us. The heated pool was the star of the show, was so happy to be able to play with our 4 month old in the water even in cold January! It was my husband’s birthday and the staff added great touches to our stay.

We loved everything but it would have been better to have more restaurants. Zuma has horrible reviews online and it took ages to connect to the restaurant to even book. The Farmhouse restaurant was great and their buffet was very good for lunch and dinner. Paddock cafe had nice options for afternoon tea. Just even one more restaurant would have been great.

The Tented Villa was just perfect. The pictures don't do it justice. I will be coming back to this resort to stay in the exact same accommodation. Staff were amazing, food I couldn't fault and the value for money on drinks was extremely good. 35aed for bottle of Corona is so cheap in this area of the world. Especially in a 5 star resort. If you are wanting to just shut off for the weekend. This is the place to br

Only issue was the pillow selection was not great. They only seemed to have thick ones, no matter if they were firm or soft. I would have liked thin firm ones as an option upon request but they didn't have.

Our stay at The Ritz-Carlton Al Wadi Desert was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived to the time we left, we were treated with exceptional care. The peaceful atmosphere and the warm, approachable, and welcoming staff made our experience even more special. Dinner at The Farmhouse was absolutely delightful—they went above and beyond by decorating our table with roses and an anniversary card. Special thanks to Juliana and Riya for making our night extra memorable! A heartfelt shoutout as well to Rica, Prasad, Pablo, the team at Kaheela and Diwany, and Micah, who all made us feel at home. I’m already planning to return with my family for my birthday in February. It’s worth every penny and every moment. Thank you so much!

Beautiful hotel in a very unique location. The staff was exceptional. I was 8 months pregnant and they took special care of me, even asking if I had some cravings that they could make me for breakfast. Amita at the Farmhouse restaurant also took great care of us. She was a very attentive server, very quick and knowledgeable and knew exactly how to ask for my meal to be cooked to accommodate my pregnancy. The hotel itself was exceptionally clean. Pool in the villa was amazing. I loved seeing the animals the gazels and camels. A special touch was having a checklist on the hotel map for you to check off which animals you saw during your stay. Room service was also very tasty. Special thank you to Bernard who brought us our room service with a huge smile, he was very polite and pleasant. Spa was great, I didn't attend but my husband said he had a fantastic deep tissue massage from Pooja. There are many things to do at this hotel whether you are visiting with children or as a couple. We saw the complementary falcon show which was definitely cool to see. There were a lot of beautiful sunset view points and stargazing spots. Overall an amazing hotel, very glad we chose to visit and we will be coming back!

Nothing, hotel and visit was perfect

Good service, friendly team, helpful. Staff went out of their way to provide my wife with food options, taking into account her intolerances, even the chef telephoned her to ask, much appreciated. Buggy drivers. Cosy villa with a good sized private pool, big bathroom, comfy bed. Wildlife wandering by. The can of Piff Paff, helpful incase of the odd pest, although we had a small lizzard to help get rid of any that snuck in. The birthday greeting display on the bed. Nice setting, away from it all.

Just small things. Terrace by pool was a tad dustier than usual. The odd plug socket/light socket not working.
