Umm al Quwain Holidays from NZ$2,852

The staff. Everyone was a different level of hospitality, very impressed. Jericho in the restaurant had a smile on his face every minute of the day and couldn’t have been more helpful. Housekeeping staff for room 508 were superb, 11/10. Reception staff so helpful as well as concierge. Chefs in the restaurant were so friendly, patient and helpful. The standout of this hotel was how excellent the staff are.

One of the best stays, all staff members we encountered were so nice, accommodating and helpful! The property is clean and spotless, the views from the room are spectacular, the breakfast had a wide selection and everything we tried was amazing! The spa is something different all together and I would highly recommend this hotel and the spa to anyone interested in a bit of some pampering and disconnect!

I was impressed by the elegance and refinement of The Lana, Dorchester Collection Dubai — truly exceptional hospitality throughout my stay. My visit fell just days before my birthday, and during breakfast at Riviera I was unexpectedly surprised by the maître d’, Nanouka, with a specialty from the menu, a candle, and a Riviera keepsake. It was a thoughtful gesture, perfectly aligned with the hotel’s understated style. What made the experience even more meaningful was a conversation about music. After learning I enjoy classical music and play the piano, Nanouka mentioned the Georgian composer Giya Kancheli. When I shared that I enjoyed his work but couldn’t find piano scores, she independently followed up with links to several of them — a rare level of attentiveness. Special thanks as well to Renel at the Concierge desk for his professional and attentive assistance with my travel arrangements. Outstanding experience in every sense.

Riu was great. Compared to other Riu, it lacked mini bar in the room, not all restaurants were available aside from the main buffet. Also entertainment was very specific to kids and not adults. But overall had a good time there.

Excellent hotel, very clean and beautiful. The male housekeeper and the doorman were exceptionally professional.
