    “The attentiveness from the staff is immense. The extra touches offered - iced water, ice lollies and sunglasses cleaning at the pool and evening tuck with lip balm, eye gel, chocolate. The property is clean and well maintained. Can’t wait to go back”

    “The room was spacious with a beautiful view on the yard, pool and the canal. The bed was super comfortable and comfy. Breakfast was exceptional!! The staff was kind, and Anjali helped us during our check-in! She was very helpful. The pool was great: lots of space in the yard, with comfy sun beds. There is Kids club on the premise, and our little one really enjoyed her time there. It was a special day for us and Ritz-Carlton team make it even more memorable! Thank you!”

    “The Ritz is an amazing destination for holiday or for work. We were well taken care of by an individual in Guest Relations called Omar! He was warm, friendly, welcoming and remembered to send us a surprise birthday cake as my friend was celebrating her birthday. There was also a very lovely bell man by the name Osman who was very helpful. The property, its location, the amenities, the food, the staff were all A++ Best Ritz experience by far! I cannot compare the stay to any other Ritz in the world. It was all so wonderful!”
