The hotel

A gem of a hotel, the spectacular Ritz-Carlton, Dubai has a wealth of amenities. Guests can enjoy a total of six swimming pools, including two exclusively for children (happily set in the shade!) and one solely for adults. There’s a choice of rooms and suites, including Club rooms with access to the Club Lounge with benefits such as premium alcohol served from 12:00pm-10:00pm and five food presentations! The hotel's Italian restaurant Splendido is something of a local legend. But don't miss Amaseena, their magical tented Bedouin village set right beside the sea, serving traditional regional specialities that can be enjoyed whilst listening to the haunting background strains of the oud and the tabla. As all first-class hotels in Dubai do, this hotel overlooks its own stretch of private beach, where pristine white sands are lapped gently by azure waters. A wonderful place to relax, topping up your tan perhaps, indulging in a variety of water sports or simply reading that book you’ve been wanting to for ages now! There are plenty of shaded areas too, private nooks to call your own, and unbeatable service from the La Baie Lounge. All of this, plus an indulgent spa, exciting kids club and a great location, ensures a holiday you’ll remember forever!

We had a wonderful stay at The Ritz-Carlton, Dubai – a truly family-friendly resort that made our vacation seamless and memorable. From multiple swimming pools to a stunning private beach, the property offers plenty of space and activities for kids to enjoy. The hotel goes above and beyond with thoughtful children’s amenities and a variety of dining options, including healthy meals tailored for younger guests. The level of hospitality was exceptional, nothing was ever too much trouble, even if I was requesting bananas to be hung in a bag on my door at 10.30pm the night before an early morning flight for my baby!! We felt genuinely welcomed and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We especially recommend booking Club Access. A huge thank you to the amazing team in the Club Lounge, Keshav, Mariam, and the Amanseena team, for their warm service and attention to detail during both our visits, not to mention our server at Blue Jade who was super attentive and the amazing team at the kids club! The location is great, the resort is so big that you don’t even feel like you are in the heart of JBR! The half board dine-around option was a fantastic bonus, giving us the chance to explore different restaurants with ease. I can’t recommend Amanseena, Splendido and Indeya by Vineet enough! The hotel’s prime location also made it very convenient to get around Dubai. We highly recommend The Ritz-Carlton, Dubai, and will definitely be returning! Read less

Booked for my birthday, wanted somewhere refined but without the hustle and bustle of the Palm hotels. I wasn't disappointed. We booked through emerates and didn't go for one of the suites or club rooms, although it was tempting! We had a ground floor garden view room, which was really well appointed. All the staff were great, unfortunately I can't remember everyone's name but Elsa in the library bar was always very welcoming and made sure we were really looked after (recomend the Ken 75 cocktail but make sure the bar tenderer uses the smoker to serve it as some didn't). All the restaurants were good, Blue Jade, Amasceena, Splendido, La Baie, we tried them all and were not disappointed. The caravan was great for breakfast and had lots of choices. It also served until almost lunchtime, so we never missed after a late night/lazy morning! Again all the staff were brilliant. Got to mention house keeping, everything spotless, they got to know our pattern so our room was always fresh and tidy on our return, thanks to Suman, Zubare (sorry if I've got the spelling wrong). In summary, it's a great hotel, location good for marina, beach, Palm etc but if you want to visit all the sites in old town, Dubia Mall etc you will have to accept a lot of travelling and the roads can get really busy, all 6 lanes!

Our 10th anniversary celebration at Ritz Carlton JBR was absolutely magical. The journey of exceptional service began before we even arrived and continued seamlessly through Sebastian's polished check-in process. The beachfront staff, with Irwan being particularly noteworthy, delivered attentive service under the warm Dubai sun. This property boasts a remarkably tranquil private beach that feels worlds away from the energy of JBR despite being centrally located. Mornings delighted with a breakfast spread that combined vast variety with five-star quality. The Guest Experience Team deserves recognition for their thoughtfulness, as does the immaculate Housekeeping department. What distinguishes this gem from Dubai's other luxury properties is their investment in proper staff training - resulting in team members who don't just smile, but truly anticipate and fulfill your needs with precision. The Ritz Carlton JBR has established itself as our Dubai sanctuary, delivering perfection from entrance to departure. Read less

Thank you to Raju and Lisa. We had a wonderful brunch with Feb best service. It was very good food, great music and in a lovely little conservatory area which had it feel like you are outdoors whilst you are cooled by the AC. Great live music and the most amazing food.
