United Arab Emirates Adventure Holidays

The hotel is in a good location, especially if you like Dubai Marina. However, it’s very outdated — the rooms no longer feel like they belong in a 5-star hotel. Staff are friendly and do their job well (which is common in Dubai), but don’t expect a true 5-star experience. The rooms, bathrooms, and furnishings are extremely old-fashioned and clearly need renovation. Most of the guests are low-budget family tourists, and the overall guest profile is quite low. For example, I was charged a 500 AED deposit at check-in, but the minibar in the room was completely empty. I asked why and requested it to be filled especially since I had paid a deposit but the hotel refused. Despite mentioning that I was an Expedia VIP guest, they didn’t offer any room upgrade. In fact, it felt like they gave me one of the worst rooms on purpose. I believe they assign worse rooms specifically to Expedia guests.

I stayed in a lodge for on night with my husband and daughter. The hotel and lodges were excellent with lovely views. Staff were friendly and helpful. Surroundings were spotless and very lush. Amazing evening buffet included in the half board as well as a great breakfast- couldn’t fault the food or choice. We had taken a taxi from Dubai town and were concerned we may struggle getting anywhere but the hotel provided a great taxi service (extra cost, but reasonable) so we could visit where we wanted. I particularly enjoyed the bee centre.

Hospitality is second to none. Good amenities, good choice of restaurants. Staff are very friendly, helpful and courteous. This is our second stay at the Emirates palace hotel and we are planning to come back again

It was a good put far away from the city

This hotel is beginning to show it's age, and whilst it is still very good I felt it has waned from the previous time I stayed (last year). It's still an excellent hotel - I like it because it's quiet, big, sporty and wide open. It's also on the beach so it's breezy which is great during the hot months. Sadly, the room upgrade was pointless. BUT! The team at the Italian restaurant on the rooftop are FABULOUS. Really, the service at that hotel is second-to-none. The price should be reduced to reflect the age of the hotel.

This property was above and far beyond anything I could have expected. The staff was amazing and so welcoming and accommodating. The resort has everything you could ever need. There really is no need to leave. The lagoon is open 24/7 which we loved. Room service is available 24/7. There is valet parking and the staff is always available to drive you to and from your room in the little golf cars. The food is amazing and the breakfast buffet is phenomenal with everything you could ever think of as an option. I really can’t say enough about this resort. My husband and I went for our honeymoon and we want to come back with our family. I can’t find one thing to complain about. Our time here was amazing!
