Riezqah Rawoot
Amazing stay from start to finish! We had an exceptional experience at this luxury hotel. From the moment we arrived, the service was outstanding and the amenities were superb. Despite our early check-in, the staff accommodated us without hesitation and truly made us feel welcome. A special mention to Sonu and Anjali, who were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable throughout our stay. Their genuine hospitality made a huge difference and turned our visit into a truly memorable experience.We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend this hotel.

Our stay at The Ritz-Carlton was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, we were treated with the utmost respect, and the hospitality truly made our visit memorable. Every staff member we encountered—front desk, doormen, room service, restaurant staff, and the wonderful Ritz Kids Club team—was incredibly polite, warm, and attentive. They greeted us with a smile, remembered little details, and made our little boy feel so special. The hotel’s cleanliness was top-class, and the location was excellent, with easy access to Abu Dhabi’s main attractions. We stayed in an executive suite, which was absolutely divine. The pool area was beautifully maintained, and the pool staff were friendly and accommodating throughout our stay. We visited during the last week of September, and it wasn’t too busy, which made the experience even more enjoyable. We will definitely be returning to this exceptional hotel—truly a palace in every sense!

I would like to give a special mention to Kamran and Zain at the Pool Bar of the Ritz-Carlton Abu Dhabi. Their service was truly exceptional and made our experience unforgettable. Both were extremely professional, attentive, and friendly, always ensuring that everything was perfect without ever being intrusive. Their positive attitude, attention to detail, and genuine care for guests reflect the highest standards of hospitality that the Ritz-Carlton is known for. Kamran and Zain went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and relaxed, and their excellent service greatly enhanced our time at the Pool Bar. They are a true asset to the team, and I highly recommend them to anyone visiting. Thank you for such a wonderful experience — we will definitely be back!

We stayed as a family of four (kids aged 4 and 6) at The Ritz-Carlton Abu Dhabi, Grand Canal in October and had a lovely experience overall. We booked a deluxe room with lounge access, and there were plenty of highlights that made our stay memorable. Positives: - The hotel is very close to the airport, which was great after a long flight. - Staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming, special mention to Osumane at the front desk and Thidar at the Kids Club, who were both fantastic. The Club Lounge team were also brilliant and made us feel right at home. - The Kids Club was excellent, our children loved going every day, which gave us some time to relax. - The pool area is large, beautifully kept, and perfect for families, spacious and not too deep, ideal for young kids. - Our room view of the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque was stunning, especially at sunset. - Food quality across the restaurants and buffet was generally very good, and the gym was probably the best I’ve seen at any hotel…spacious and equipped with top-quality machines. - The team at Li Jiang went above and beyond after a delay during our first dinner there, inviting us for complimentary drinks another evening, a very classy gesture. - The hotel wasn’t too busy during our stay, which made it all the more relaxing. Negatives: - Check-in took around 30 minutes, which felt long given the hotel wasn’t busy. - The coffee machine in our room didn’t work properly. - Food service times were consistently slow…on two of the three restaurant visits, meals took a long time to arrive (around 3 hours total each time), which was tough with kids. - The beach area is quite small, and due to nearby construction, part of it was closed off, meaning no kayaking or paddle boarding was available, which was disappointing. - The most concerning issue was a major water leak in the main buffet restaurant during breakfast, it flooded part of the dining area and clearly wasn’t just “maintenance.” The situation looked quite serious, and staff seemed very stressed. There was also maintenance work taking place outside the Club Lounge on the 7th floor, which was a bit disruptive. Despite these issues, the staff handled things professionally and acknowledged the shortfalls, which I really appreciated. There were far more positives than negatives, and we left feeling that the service and hospitality made up for the hiccups. Would I recommend it? Yes, especially for families. With a few improvements, this could easily be a five-star experience.

I had such a great time at the Ritz Carlton. The place is honestly stunning and the whole vibe feels calm classy and super comfortable. The staff were really sweet and treated me so well which made everything feel even nicer. I really loved the Sorso bar. Their drinks are amazing and it is such a nice spot to just sit enjoy and unwind. Overall I really enjoyed my visit and would definitely go back.
