The room is stunning and the pool area is gorgeous too. The pool could do with being temperature controlled to be colder in the summer heat, it’s hard to be able to be outside without somewhere to cool down. The service is great and all the team are very attentive.

We stayed for two nights at the Ritz after spending one night at dubai .The Al HAMRA beach experience was truly unforgettable starting from check in front office team, restaurant staff, and spa team were all amazing. Even though it was a short stay, it was filled with wonderful memories. We had a 60-minute massage, which was very relaxing and made even better by the beautiful view of the sea. The spa also had a great range of ESPA products, which added to the experience. The highlight of our stay was the private dinner on the beach, which was a special anniversary surprise planned by my husband. From the delicious food to the outstanding service, everything felt magical. We also enjoyed spending time at the beach. It was a bit of a walk from our room, but during the evening, watching the sunset made it feel much closer and so peaceful. A long time ago, we had visited just for lunch and took a small boat ride, which we really enjoyed. This time, the boat ride wasn’t available. We missed it a little, but it wasn’t a big issue, because the staff made everything else absolutely perfect. Read less
