WOW just wow! Wow is the only word I feel best describes the Ritz Carlton Al Wadi Desert.

From start to finish we were treated like royalty and the service here was to an extremely high standard we was very impressed. It seems that any room you book here is fancy (and each have their own private swimming pool) but the suites are particularly nice if it is for a special occasion.

The suite rooms come equipped with a mini bar area, bedroom, lounge, hallway, dressing area, bathroom (with standalone bathtub, walk-in shower, his & hers sinks and a toilet), outdoor terrace area, full-sized private pool and private desert area. They are absolutely gorgeous and I would highly recommend (they are a little on the pricey side but worth it!)

There are a few restaurants on site and breakfast was included in our package (it isn't with all). The breakfast was delicious and one of the best hotel breakfasts I've tried. There is also a steak restaurant (The Farmhouse) and a sunset cocktail bar (which was closed when we visited due to COVID). We visited The Farmhouse and the food was out of this world extremely tasty and had a great atmosphere (very relaxed and chilled).

Some of the most magical experiences can happen when you're in your private pool. One of ours was at sunset when a flock of camels (around 5/6) walked past and started nibbling on the trees literally 2 metres from our pool. We also witnesses special visits from Oryx's and flocks of birds it was beautiful.

Overall I would highly recommend this hotel and we cannot wait for our next visit!
