We stayed for a seven nights’ holiday. We have been to the region before but never at The Ritz. We were incredibly impressed with all aspects for the hotel from food, to design/layout, amenities, but most of all the attentiveness of the staff.
We wish we could remember the names of all the staff members during our stay as everyone we came across were exceptional. But to name a few, Rafiq at the pool always met us each morning and set up our lounge beds, always remembering where we liked to sit as well as checking in to make sure we were OK throughout the day. Another staff member at the pool, Janak, was exceptionally courteous and made our experience so much more elevated with his attention to us. Within the buffet restaurant, team member Aniket, always warmly greeted us each morning and evening we visited, made sure our needs were met and always guaranteed we never wanted for anything- he even very graciously gave us a fruit platter on our last day.
We also dined at Forge, Mijana and Li Jiang, all three restaurants were incredible for half board choices with food and drink, but again, the staff are the key standouts for all three. Unfortunately, we did not catch the names of our specific wait staff but their attention, thoughtfulness and professionalism were unmatched. They made us feel extremely welcome and special during our dining experience and always went the extra mile to ensure we were well looked after.
All in all, this was an incredible holiday and we will definitely be back, thank you!

Just wanted to share my wonderful experience during my recent visit to your hotel. The staff, from the attendants to the receptionists, were incredibly accommodating and friendly, making us feel welcomed without any discrimination. It was a pleasant surprise to be allowed to take photos for our souvenirs, which truly enhanced our visit.
I look forward to returning, not just for exhibition work but to fully experience your facilities and explore more of the exceptional services you offer. Keep up the great work Ritz Carlton Abu Dhabi team👍

I cannot say enough good things about this property. The staff was more than exceptional. I had a long “lay over” in Abu Dhabi before heading onto Paris. I messaged them that my best friend and I were traveling to celebrate and they went out of their way to celebrate with us and make it a memorable trip. We upgraded to the Club Lounge. MORE than worth it. Not only is the food in creditable but the staff is thoughtful, attentive and not too much. They generously upgraded us to a suite, and the room was immaculate with added touch of balloons to greet us and a sweet friends forever message. If you are looking for a spot to retreat to you could not book a better property. I wish we were here more than one night. I hope to return and truly enjoy the property even more. Thank you to the Ritz team, from stepping out of the car to getting back in to head to the airport every team member went above and beyond.

I arrived at the hotel and was warmly welcomed by the staff, especially by Silvia. She was very kind, greeting me with her beautiful and gentle smile and offering an exceptional welcome. I was served delicious Arabic coffee and dates, and she efficiently handled all my check-in procedures. She is truly cooperative and outstanding. Thank you to her and to the Ritz Hotel for having such an exceptional employee.👏🏼💯✨👍🏻
Petra Tenekeci
All the hotel staffs are incredible. Every single employee, whether helping with getting out of the taxi, during check-in, in the rooms, at the pool, beach, restaurants, or the cleaning and gardening teams, is extremely friendly and helpful—just top-notch. A heartfelt thank you for providing such outstanding service and friendly faces from early morning until late in the evening. Superb hotel and service. We’ve stayed in numerous hotels, but this was truly top-class, first-rate.
Thank you so much!
