The Ritz-Carlton Ras Al Khaimah, Al Hamra Beach

I had the absolute best birthday weekend at The Ritz-Carlton Al Hamra, and I truly can't recommend it enough. We stayed in one of the stunning beach villas, and it was nothing short of paradise. The villa itself was incredibly spacious, beautifully designed, and offered the most serene, relaxing atmosphere. Waking up jumping in the pool and stepping out onto the pristine white sand was like a dream. The beach is simply breathtaking—crystal-clear water, soft sand, and a peaceful setting that feels worlds away from the everyday. It’s the perfect place to unwind and enjoy nature’s beauty in total luxury. What made this stay even more special was the exceptional service. Every member of the staff was warm, welcoming, and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. To my delight, they surprised me with a beautifully presented birthday cake, which added such a personal and memorable touch to an already incredible experience. From start to finish, everything was flawless. If you're looking for a luxurious, tranquil getaway with top-notch service and unforgettable views, look no further than The Ritz-Carlton Al Hamra. I can’t wait to return!

Extremely poor service and not what we'd expect from tbis brand. When we entered their reception they tried to make it sound like we hadn't booked our kids and they would charge us more. When we checked our booking it was clear that we had actually booked for the 4 of us and it had been confirmed on email by the hotel at the time of booking. They had to then go and get their managers approval. I've added the photo of the confirmation to this review. We booked an Al Shamal villa with king bed and sofa bed for our anniversary. The sofa bed was just a sofa. Its not a sofa bed. They gave us one pillow and one very thin blanket for our two kids to sleep on the chair. I've added a photo to this review of the sofa, blanket and pillow for 2 kids aged 9 and 10. We went for the happy hour that's from 4 till 10. The timing was confirmed by the receptionist and hotel manager. But the FnB manager refused saying happy hour is only till 6pm. He said he called reception and they said we had been told that it ended at 6pm however later on the hotel manager confirmed that it was indeed till 10pm and didn't know why the FnB manager was saying something else. The FnB manager was also trying to get us to buy all inclusive drinks package. The toilet had yellow water in it when we arrived. It looks like the have an issue with their plumbing as the water was dirty all the time in the toilets. The hot water didn't always work. Sometimes you would have to run it for 2 minutes before it would warm up. Way beyond the 10 seconds the marriott group put in their specifications. Food is good however the portion sizes are very small. For example my kid order ravioli and it came with only 4 pieces. Upon leaving the manager the tried to add more charges to our bill saying that our food discount that he himself confirmed was valid was actually only for one drink. After an argument about this he agreed to remove these additional costs. So from the arrival till we left they continually tried to extract more money than they were due to take. Completely unacceptable behaviour. This place is not a 5 star. From the very poor service and right down to the cheapest and thinest toilet paper you can imagine.

So I really enjoyed my short week stay at this hotel in RAK . It’s roughly an hour drive from Dxb . Very serene, very peaceful. You re greeted at the small check in reception in a small house . Perfect for hassle free check in , the process is very convenient and fast . Then you re driven to one of 34 villas along a sandy coast with fine mangrove like vegetation surrounding your villas . The villas are wonderful, perfect size for 2-3 occupants. Small but lovely private pool , bathtub , outdoor shower , sunbeds and private access to the sea . Which is a few minutes walk from your villa . Great mini bar , wonderful menu breakfast and restaurant. Very very peaceful resort . Small but comfortable gym . Everything was wonderful . Some minor improvements could be made but I ll take it privately with admins . Lovely stay !) will come back

I had a truly wonderful stay at the hotel! Everything was spotless, well-organized, and incredibly comfortable. From check-in to check-out, the service was smooth and welcoming. A special shoutout to Sufian – his kindness, professionalism, and genuine hospitality truly made a difference. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, and I really appreciated his warm attitude. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a relaxing and pleasant experience. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Our stay at the hotel was truly wonderful. The place is classy and peaceful, and the private pool added a special touch of privacy and relaxation. A special thanks to Mr. Shufian — he was extremely polite, respectful, and kind. His service really made a difference in our experience. Definitely looking forward to coming back again!

Its my second visit and the worst visit. First of all the room was too dusty which must be cleaned before we check in ! Secondly the curtains were stuck and 1 of them was broken The tv was not working will The towels has dots un cleaned and not changed bath robe was more luxurious before but they changed it Over all doesn't worth the high price

We had an amazing time at The Ritz-Carlton Al Hamra. The hotel is beautiful and very peaceful. All the staff were so respectful and friendly, and the service was excellent. I had an amazing experience in the restaurant the food was delicious 👌 but the prices little bit high . I come for my anniversary celebration andIt was truly an unforgettable experience, and we look forward to coming back again soon! Thank you to all kindness staff 🌹🌹

Best hotel experience in my life. All the staff is super friendly and that is the biggest highligt. I know it is partially because of that is what is expected in a place like this, but I felt that most were actually very genuine in their kindness and are good people also when it is not an expectation. Food and atmosphere is also amazing but the service was for sure the best part.
