Nujuma, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve

絕美，一晚上絕對不夠。水上活動一定要提前定，我們定太晚了沒去成。泳池旁邊的西餐廳真好吃，這個價位和味道在北京吃不到，七八分西餐廳水平。

非常安逸的酒店 整體隱世的高規格 絕對比隔壁的謝巴拉更值得入住 遊玩項目很多 至少準備兩晚上的入住管家服務也很好

アクアブルーな海と真っ白な砂浜がとても綺麗でした。ホテルもアジアンテイストで斬新なデザイン。とても落ち着きます。スタッフの皆さんも大変親切で楽しく過ごすことができるホテルです。今度は息子も一緒にいきたいです。ありがとうございました！

I’ve been lucky enough to travel to a lot of great hotels, and don’t mind paying up for great experiences, but sadly I think Nujuma takes the cake for one of the most scandalous voluntary robberies I’ve ever subjected myself to (up there with the Santa Marina in Mykonos, interestingly both Marriotts). Besides the fact that $2,700/night is AT LEAST double, and maybe three times what’s a fair price for the quality, the most insulting part about it is that once you book, they reveal that the astronomical price doesn’t even include the cost for the boat ride to and from the property. On top of that, the food is both very poor and very expensive (and you obviously have no other option since you’re stuck on a small island), so there’s really no end to the grift. I was so disappointed by lunch that I didn’t bother having dinner. The property is very unremarkable, the tranquility of walking or biking around spoiled the constant buggies and supply carts that will pass you every 2 minutes, and the views are spoiled by overlooking the adjacent St Regis. The rooms, while spacious, are quite charmless in my opinion. On top of it all - the hotel failed to honour my Amex benefit of a guaranteed upgrade on availability, and didn’t apply my credit either until I insisted on it twice and showed them proof I booked through Amex. It’s the only time this has ever happened - these benefits are usually applied automatically. If you’re looking for a small private island retreat, go to Amanpulo in the Philippines instead - FAR more beautiful island, far better hotel, better food, for a far lower price. There’s just no comparison.

Saudi Arabia, Red Sea is a must see. The Ritz-Carlton Nujuma is Exceptional on all levels. Spectacular service, views of the Red Sea from our villa on the beach was breathtaking. It was winter and quiet which was harmonious for us. Our personal butler Riaj went out of his way to accommodate our every need big or small. Tony and his GM team are well versed in keeping the whole resort in top form which was evident daily. We will return again and again with pleasure.

We stayed 2 nights in a sunset water villa on the main ring at Nujuma. As soon as we stepped out of the boat we were welcomed by the most amazing hotel staff I have ever met. No checkin desk, they take you directly to your villa after a welcome drink and refreshing towels. A BIG THANK you to our personal host Heena for making our stay unique. She was always there when needed but also respected our privacy when we wanted to be on our own. The service is fully personalized to make your stay perfect. From breakfast to dinner, all the staff knows your name and learns your preferences. The buggy ride to our villa on the wooden deck on the turquoise water was already an amazing experience in itself. And it was a big WOW when we enter the villa. Very modern but at the same time with traditional materials and what a view!!! The space inside was much bigger than we thought and full of light with the big windows. We loved the pool area and could spend all day there. The outside space was very private and quiet, we felt connected with the blue water. We also loved the white sand beach area to West. We used a bike to get around or a buggy. Our favorite restaurant was the seafood restaurant Tabrah, we recommend the salt crusted lobster and the local fish. Food was reasonably priced. Breakfast was also a highlight every day with great quality food and exceptional service (they have the best French pastries). We felt like we were in paradise and wished we could have stayed longer. If you need to choose one resort for your stay the Red Sea, we highly recommend Nujuma. The only area for improvement would be the boat transfer to the island. The island is far away and if the sea is rough the shared ride is long (45min) and not comfortable. The boat transfer is not operated by Ritz Carlton but by the Red Sea Global (and therefore not included). I found the whole Turtle Bay experience unpleasant. We drove our own car and it was confusing to know where we needed to go. The waiting room was cold and dark and reminded me of a meeting room at work. Next time we will look at private transfer options or sea plane.
