I visited primarily for the RainForest, and it was a truly delightful experience. Darika, the Spa Director, ensured that my visit was exceptional. She's not only amiable but also profoundly knowledgeable about spa and wellness. I learned that she recently joined the property, and I'm convinced that she's a valuable addition to the Ritz-Carlton team. I genuinely enjoyed our conversation. The property itself is stunning, nestled amidst the desert.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at the Ritz Ras Al Khaimah (RAK) and we must say, it was an amazing experience! The villa we stayed in seemed out of this world, with a small garden, an outdoor pool and even an outdoor bath! The luxurious amenities provided in the villa made us feel like royalty. The villa also had direct access to the beautiful scenery and pristine beaches, making it the perfect location for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation. The restaurant at the Ritz Ras Al Khaimah (RAK) had very nice food, with a wide range of dishes to choose from. The service provided by the staff was excellent and they were always willing to help with any requests we had. In addition to the luxurious amenities and excellent food, the resort also provided various activities to keep us entertained during our stay. We particularly enjoyed biking around the resort and working out at the gym in the fitness zone. Overall, our experience at the Ritz Ras Al Khaimah (RAK) was exceptional, and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a luxurious and relaxing vacation. The beautiful villa, stunning scenery, delicious food, excellent service, and various activities provided by the resort made our stay unforgettable.
