Waldorf Astoria Ras Al Khaimah

We stayed for a week and thouroughly enjoyed our stay. Arrival at the hotel is easy with the valet guys dealing with the complimentary car parking speedily and the bell boys efficiently dealing with luggage. The room was large with a separate dressing area and good sized balcony. Tea/coffee making facilities, plenty of complementary water and a decent sized safe were all positives. The bed was huge and one of the most comfortable either of us can remember staying in. The large bathroom was well equipped and had a separate bath and shower cubicle as well as twin sinks. There are several reataurants to choose from but they are pretty expensive and service in the Camelia was often very slow bordering on non-existent. The buffet breakfast was extensive and went on until 11am so no rush to get up (they also had HP sauce so no need to bring your own)! There's a shopping mall about 15-20 minutes walk away with a wide range of food options as well as Alhamra Golf restaurant about 5 minutes walk away. Outside, the pool is huge and there were usually plenty of sunbeds available although they seem like they've seen better days and could probably do with replacing. The guys at the pool bar were friendly and it was nice having the 4-5pm happy hour! One of the reasons we chose to stay here was for the proximity to Alhamra Golf club and it's well setup in this regard. There is a storage area on the ground floor of the hotel for golf clubs and the bell boys will drive you over to the club house on their own golf buggies on request. Coming back to the hotel you can just ask at the clubhouse reception for them to call the Waldorf and request the bell boys to come and collect you - all very efficient and we never had to wait more than 5 minutes to be collected. The course itself is a proper golfing test!! Overall we were very happy with our stay but the couple of areas mentioned just let it down slightly but don't let that put you off.

Amazing stay at the Waldorf. David the barista was very professional, Trang the manager was extremely helpful and, Maribel our waiter was very attentive.overall a brilliant stay, I highly recommend. All of the food was incredible as well as service from all the staff was amazing.
