Great place to visit!
Very friendly and helpful staff. We are coming here with my husband very often just to enjoy our time in beautiful peaceful place.
Mister Ranga (the guy on the pool and bar side) always smiling and ready to help. He came regularly to change the bucket of ice to keep our water fresh. You feel yourself special and always know that there is someone who cares about you and your comfort.
I highly recommend to visit and stay in Waldorf Astoria Ras Al Khaima. You will have a beautiful experience!
