As Dubai residents, we take advantage of a UAE staycation a few times a year and get to stay in some amazing hotels but the Waldorf Astoria in RAK is definitely the new favourite. We did stay here when it first opened a few years ago- but things are much more established now and it???s been an absolute pleasure. The rooms are amazing, the pool and beach are lovely, great restaurants (the Lexington Grill is so good I gave it a separate review of its own) and superb housekeeping (thanks Christian)- the service is just exceptional. Every staff member I encountered seems to have a high level of training and understanding of what impeccable service means- very responsive, no request was ignored or unanswered. We are already planning our next visit and I think we will find it difficult to go anywhere else within the UAE now. Highly recommended.

My friend and I visited the hotel this Saturday and checked out on Sunday.
Our experience was just so amazing I don???t have words to describe how awesome it was.
Never before have we experienced great service from EACH & EVERY staff in a hotel as we did here...
Starting with the reception where Mr. Taimour Khan checked us in. He was just so so accommodating and gave us an amazing room with a beautiful view. He went out of his way to give us the best with clear information of what we needed and more. He answered and provided us with everything we needed.
Then the lady who escorted us to our room explained each and everything in our room in full details that you will have nothing to ask before she leaves you!
Room was amazingly spacious with a dressing room ?????? which we totally fell in love with!
We then decided to go to the pool where they had one for the adults and one for families.
While walking to the pool each staff that passed us showed such genuine concern whether we were doing fine and had what we needed.
We then reached the adult pool 😍 the seating cabanas were just perfect 👌
Shaded and spacious enough to relax and unwind!
Then our next awesome experience at the pool started with Mr. Ahmad Hassan who was from Egypt!
He welcomed us with fresh fruit popsicles that was just so refreshing in the heat!
He was at his toes the entire time in the heat walking back and forth and attending each client that came to the pool so passionately. You cannot ignore his presence as he was so attentive to detail with what clients needed and went out of his to get clients everything they needed and more!
We truly have not seen any outdoor staff so dedicated as him and truly he was a star and deserves ultimate credit for his outstanding work.
As evening came near we got ready and decided to have dinner at Umi the Japanese restaurant
Honestly the ambience, menu, service, attention from the chef......... what more can we say except that only experiencing the restaurant will be an ideal way to understand what we would like to try and explain!.
Breakfast was delicious with just the right options & choices with delicately decorated seating areas.
It was quite unfortunate that we didn???t have time to stay longer or surely we would love to!
Truly the stars for us were
??? Mr Taimour Khan at the check in
??? Mr Ahmed Hassan by the pool
Highly recommended with no doubt that EVERYTHING about this hotel was 👌??????
