Be careful if you’re used to 5* service
On check in got “upgraded” to a very dated villa. Found a used napkin next to the bed after I had already spent two nights there (totally unacceptable), obviously housekeeping not at their best! House keeping staff did not spray a fragrance in the room after “cleaning” and left their own odour lingering in the room. Got moved to a different room after finding the used tissue. Was offered free breakfast, which was not relayed to breakfast team causing further inconvenience. Breakfast staff member was coughing over the food whilst he was cleaning the serving spoons. Absolutely not acceptable, please maintain a basic hygiene level!! Guest eat the food you just coughed over! Front security team failed to organise buggy service on asking twice, so walked instead. Friendliest of staff was Tarsem in the front of house team welcoming and departing guests. Did exactly what he said he would. Overall 2* only because the final nights room was nicer then the villa. Otherwise this is a very substandard run property. Most staff members need training of what 5* service should be.

We had a wonderful experience at the Ritz-Carlton Abu Dhabi. I would like to express my gratitude, particularly to the housekeeping team, for their thoughtful and aesthetically pleasing design, which included fresh petals on the bed and a cake for the birthday celebration. Additionally, I would like to acknowledge the exceptional assistance provided by Salman from the concierge team. The hotel was impeccably clean, and the service was prompt and courteous throughout.

We stayed in a Radnam Pool Villa. There was a number of issues with loose fittings, a tv that kept turning itself on and A/C that was not great in the master bedroom. I also found that there wasn’t a mirror near a plug in the Master so I couldn’t dry my hair in that room. Bedding was lovely and pool area was great too.

The stay here was incredible. All the staff were extremely accomadating, the facilities were top notch and the breakfast buffet 10/10 (I'd recommend paying extra for it if booking here). A big thank you to the Manager Sara and other employees such as Ousamane and Solafa who made the experience that extra bit special.
