    Long Weekend
    As a result of my mother in law being ill, I joined my wife iat the Ritz Carlton for a long weekend. It was a very comfortable hotel with the caveat that it backs onto the waterway and the beach is clearly man made. The hotel itself cant be faulted, and the service is…

    Comfortable stay
    Normally I would give 5/5 and I am probably nitpicking but for this price everything should be top notch. Spacious room with nice bathroom. Here and there some chips of furniture and damaged wallpaper. Adequate breakfast, though again: not brilliant. Very few local choices. Why…

    Hello We are about to book for 10 nights on a half board basis, what restaurant(s) will we be permitted to eat in and can we use an allowance to use any of the other restaurants please? Many thanks
    Most restaurants will have an option for you to enjoy a selected menu which can be part of your half board plan. You can of course choose anything else on the menu but will be charged.

    During Ramadan 2019 does the Club Lounge still have the same alcohol rules, available from 1200-2200?
    The sane will apply and Club lounge operates as per the alcohol service hours as per information received.. Please note however that the consumption of any food and beverage it should still be discreet durining the fasting hours and people visiting need to observe and respect the Holy month of Ramadan.

    Dear oh dear . Just booked and then cancelled after reading so many poor reviews over dec and Jansen early jan. is there anybody who can convince me that this is a good place to stay
    Sorry you have cancelled. We enjoyed our stay and found it a good base for exploring Abu Dhabi. It’s closeness to the Grand Mosque was great. We did stay on the 7th floor and had access to the lounge with great food and free drinks. We also used the adults only pool, which was quiet. Good luck with finding a good place to stay.

    "Choose a room which is high up"
    "We had a de-luxe room which was fine"
    "Closer to the elevator."
    "Request rooms over looking pool and gardens"
    "The room on a high floor with pool view was just breath taking. So relaxing and comfortable!!"
