Waldorf Astoria Ras Al Khaimah

Food Addict

We recently returned from a stay at the Waldorf Astoria Ras Al Khaimah. It is an absolutely stunning resort. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the grand architecture and intricate detailing of the building. This hotel is fantastic for families. The kids’ pool area has two fun water slides, a toddler splash area and a second sheltered pool, ideal for younger children or for a break from the sun. There’s also a large main pool perfect for families and for those seeking peace, an adults only pool offers a peaceful escape and the most breathtaking sunset views in the evening. The beach is another highlight with its pristine white sand, which stretches out just steps from the hotel, with clear, calm waters ideal for paddling or simply soaking in the view. The kids club is immaculately clean, with a full schedule of activities throughout the day. However, it did feel a little bare inside, more toys or soft play features would enhance the space. The outdoor area has a climbing frame and we loved the idea of the ‘passport’ activity, where kids complete tasks to earn a cuddly toy at the end, such a thoughtful touch! In the reception area, children are even treated to their own kids’ check-in area, which is full of sweets and instantly makes them feel special. We booked half-board and although the buffet isn’t the biggest, the quality of the food was excellent. Everything was delicious and packed with flavour. We genuinely looked forward to every meal. The kids have their own little buffet section, which could be improved. The rooms were stunning!! They are incredibly spacious, with elegant interiors and our balcony offered views of the golf course. The only downside during our stay was that there were ongoing construction works and unfortunately, we could hear some noise from our room at times, so I’d request a room on the other side. The service throughout the hotel was outstanding. We want to give special thanks to Moe and RJ from the dining team and Rick, one of the lifeguards, for their warm hospitality and going above and beyond every day. We booked a package deal through Travel Republic We also saved £150 using TopCashback, which was a nice bonus! The drive from Dubai was around 1 hour Ras Al Khaimah itself is very quiet, and there’s not much to do outside the resort, which suited us fine as we wanted to relax. The resort itself was very peaceful, which made for a very chilled-out stay. We did venture out one day for a safari (I’ll post about that separately). Overall, the Waldorf Astoria Ras Al Khaimah is a beautiful resort that perfectly balances luxury and family-friendly charm. We would absolutely return as it’s a wonderful escape with outstanding service and unforgettable surroundings. We left feeling very relaxed and well taken care of. *Request a room away from the construction noise and the large fan sound

I went for dinner with friends who were staying at Waldorf with two young children under the age of 2. Still, we could enjoy a great dinner and have conversations while toddlers were playing around. The Waldorf was absolutely amazing! Dinner food buffet was beyond delicious! The variety in food options was incredible. Kids are entertained and looked after. The food was freshly prepared at the pasta booth plus dessert was mouthwatering. The staff was friendly, professional and helpful. Kept clearing the table and was very polite. I will definitely come again for a lunch and breakfast buffet, for sure!

Truly the best hotel we’ve ever been. 10/10 pure luxury. So kid friendly, super big and great food. There was nothing we missed. We booked 4 nights with breakfast and it was so good. We tried also one night the dinner buffet which was very good quality. The other nights we visited the Lexington grill restaurant which was just amazing. The whole hotel was so kind and welcoming. The Rooms huge! We definitely come back again. And highly recommend everyone to visit this place. Special thanks to Momen & Amber from the breakfast buffet. And sadegh ( I hope I wrote the name write) from the housekeeping on the 9th floor. You did an amazing job everyday. Please let them know that they do great. Also what is super nice at this hotel that kids till 5 eat for free from the kids menu if the parent order something. Amazing! Kind Regards Lopez family from Spain
