We had an awesome stay here at the Ritz Carlton in Abu Dhabi. The hotel is exquisite, as are the grounds, the backdrop of the grand mosque, and the facilities. The hospitality and welcoming of the staff was fantastic - 10/10! I’d call out Farah at the check in, Aqib at the front of house, and Rafiq at the outdoor pool/beach for their outstanding customer service. I’d highly recommend staying here!

Our dining experience at Gionorte Restaurant in the Ritz-Carlton Abu Dhabi was nothing short of exceptional. Shashi, our waiter, and his incredible team, including Nigel and Ashok, truly went above and beyond to make our evening memorable. They were incredibly accommodating, provided excellent customer service, and took the time to listen to our special requests. We were celebrating my mum's birthday during the Italian themed evening, and their efforts made the occasion even more special. Thank you for making it a truly unforgettable dining experience. We shall return again when in Abu Dhabi-Many Thanks guys 😀

I just want to take a quick moment to say that this hotel is outstanding . . . Everything from the establishment, the cleanliness, and most important the hotel staff are all incredible. They strive to make your stay a very welcoming experience and one to remember. I was recently a guest for several weeks and I personally want to thank the valet parking attendants (Tarsem, Dewi, Sukhinder, Yasin, and Sajid) for always being on point and beyond helpful during my entire stay. Much appreciated. I will be back ! ! !

We enjoyed a fantastic meal in Mijana - a North African/Local Restaurant at the Ritz Carlton. The menu lists dishes according to their region, which is really useful in distinguishing where food and flavors originate. The food was delicious and the exceptional service from Muhammad made this five stars. Thank you Muhammad!

Hotel room was exquisite. Best part of the hotel is the club lounge. Plenty of food and drink choices available for each meal. While I was there Joseph provided Excellent service every night of my stay. He made my group feel very welcomed and comfortable. Recommend if you come to the lounge to seek out Joseph!

I stayed in The Ritz Carlton in Abu Dhabi with family and my experience has been great! The entire hotel crew are respectful and professional . All restaurants seems to have delicious food and an amazing service. However, the lounge is my favorite spot so far. The food in the lounge is delicious and I like to come here to relax and do some work. The decor, ambient, and music are so relaxing. I also would like to take the opportunity to thank the amazing hard working staff members: Prabhu, Cyntheia, Averiana and Cheff Laila for their outstanding work. They greet us every morning with a big smile. I like their positivity and how they make us feel welcomed. Finally, I am glad we chose to stay at the Ritz Carlton and we will definitely miss the amazing staff. Best Regards Reem

We have no words to describe how incredible the experience was at the Ritz in Abu Dhabi. We’ve been here before and even got married here. But, to see how 5 years later and many trips later the service has become 20/10 is amazing to experience and feel. I’ll start with the staff. Hotels and their amenities can be the best thing, but without these heroes who work around the clock to make the guests feel at home, hotels can simply fail. The little details and things the staff considers- for example we had our books in the room and they had left bookmarks- a nice gesture but having stayed at many other hotels - 5 stars or otherwise- they wouldn’t have cared to do that- the ritz does care and they care a lot. The housekeeping staff and their immaculate attention to detail.. simply wow.. thanks to that entire team. They go above and beyond. Antoanette and the entire front desk staff are not only professional but they are thoughtful- always making us feel right at home. All the above and the fact that the rooms have been renovated (some still are in progress of being renovated- we stayed in one of the renovated rooms).. all this adds to making this the best hotel we’ve stayed in- and mind you we’ve been to hotels in AD, DXB, Florida, Las Vegas and around the world. None come close to the ritz in AD. It’s effortlessly beautiful. Finally, you’d think someone from the staff would ask if we could leave a review- but no- it was all done as part of their core and identity- no one asked us to leave a single review anywhere. All they asked the entire stay was, how can we make your stay memorable? And it was. Please note; we’ve stayed here at least 5 times and had day pass access for another 10 in a span of 5 years. It went from 10/10 before to now 20/10! Thank you team! Will come again 10000%
