Ryan, 39, showed fans the luxurious hotel he stayed at, along with bike rides with his fiance Lucy Mecklenburgh by the beach.
They stayed at Rixos The Palm Hotel & Suites costing £1000-a-night.
Ryan and Lucy relaxed in the garden area with their kids at sunset before heading off to enjoy fancy meals.
One snap saw a platter of cured meats while another captured octopus, potatoes and salad served on separate dishes.
He quickly faced backlash for showing off his no-expense-paid trip while others are struggling.
One user commented: “This is so lovely and how nice that you was gifted this trip but wouldn’t it be even nicer that a average family who could never even afford this holiday be gifted and every celeb then posted about it x.”
Whilst another added: “Reality for most people is they can’t afford their bills, or a family holiday let alone Dubai as a couple. So removed from reality.”
“Exactly. 😕 The amount of people with kids i see having to reach out on the internet asking about food banks etc at the moment is so sad. What a dream life. Xx,” replied a third.
A fourth user defended the star writing: “What is wrong with people! So what if its a ad!? Its his page he can post what he wants!
“If you don’t like it then don’t follow him simple! I hope you did get the trip free, I know I would be posting about it if i did ha 👌🏻.
“Some people just cant be happy for others. Shame really. But hey ho ignore them or block as i would 🤣 enjoy your alone time ❤.”
Ryan and ex-TOWIE star Lucy met in 2017 when they both starred on the Channel 4 series Celebrity Island With Bear Grylls.
Two years later, he proposed to her during a romantic trip to Italy.
They share two children together Roman, three, and Lilah, one.
Ryan has another daughter, Scarlett, born in 2008, with his ex-girlfriend and former Coronation Street co-star Tina O’Brien.
