Amazing and super friendly staff, attends to the request promptly. Breakfast was great. We enjoyed the room, every part of it. We love the private pool. We enjoyed the Falcon show, met lovely birds of prey and how amazing they are. Me and the kids super enjoyed the wildlife feeding, amazing experience. We looked forward to do the Stargazing activity, unfortunately it was cancelled due to the weather. Overall, was an amazing experience, very different from all other hotels we stayed in Dubai, AUH and Ras Al Khaimah, Ritz-Carlton al Wadi is much more closer to nature which we always value. Thanks for the experience.

everything about the property is exceptional but the staff was perfect I loved the treatment the way they smile and laugh and joke and they’re so light hearted. It is not going to be my last visit and I seriously fell in love with everything about this place thank you to each and everyone of the staff members who assisted me during my stay.
