We stayed at ‘The Ritz-Carlton’ Resort Abu Dhabi for a night in November 2021.
Set against the backdrop of the Grand Mosque, this resort is spread across 57 acres and is located around 20 Kms (around 20 Minutes) from Abu Dhabi International Airport.
The hotel’s position is on the right side of the canal and most of the rooms on the pool/canal side have a good view of the same.

Pros:
Large room with balcony
Excellent / Friendly Staff
A short walk from the main building is Venetian Village, which offers additional waterfront dining outlets.
Housekeeping and check-in staff were very supportive.
Staff at the pool was hard working and very attentive.
Being a very large property, it’s very interesting to explore around.
If you are looking for Taxis, Concierge team will arrange the same.
Check-in Process was very smooth (even during late night)
Good sound insulation in the rooms
Cons:
Bathroom fittings were slightly outdated
The Pool Noise levels were slightly on higher side
There are no much restaurants/shops nearby.
Summary:
The Ritz-Carlton is a large, well-designed hotel surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens and with an enormous pool sitting in the centre. Definitely Recommended.
