Third Time back and the Ritz Carlton does not disappoint, the staff at the RC are simply fantastic giving the best level of service across the board. The hotel is located and presented as you would expect, the facilities are outstanding. I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel as it is quite frankly the best hotel I have ever stayed in.

Stunning hotel! Couldn’t fault the staff, rooms, service. My only grumble is there isn’t anywhere to have a nigh time drink outside, you have to eat at one of the restaurants or are stuck using the inside slightly uninspiring bar. A sunset type bar, and there is plenty of space for one would round this hotel off! Couple call outs, I was an early checkin and Mary did a fantastic job accommodating and getting my room early. Also the incredibly smiley and friendly Ibrahim pool attendant, and forgive me I didn’t catch his name, but your front of house gent with glasses and a beard was so attentive and friendly. All of the staff were amazing, I’m just mentioning those I interacted with more than once and that stood out. Bravo!

Excellent stay. We almost never stay in the same hotel twice but this was our second short trip. Service is just perfect. Friendly and efficient but equally not overly familiar. Stunning, peaceful lobby. Super bedroom. Despite us arriving six hours before check-in, the team tried extremely hard to get our room ready, which they had done hours ahead of official check-in.

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.
