Spending our last night at The One & Only Royal Mirage Palace. In general our stay has been great. Compared to our previous stays the standards at the hotel have slipped a little. Breakfast is no longer served in Celebrities, it’s now in the Beach Bar & Grill, the quality is nowhere near what Celebrities was. The little touches like fruit & juice being brought round the pool have stopped. We highlighted this to management who advised that ownership of the hotel had changed which has resulted in these changes. The staff as in our previous visits are all so friendly & helpful, a true credit to the hotel. Hopefully things can return to how they were under the previous owners. We will definitely stay here again. Read less

The place is beautiful but it’s not enough! It is not possible that in a 5 stars resort there is not the right attention to the customer. Yesterday was our last day in Dubai, we asked the concierge to reserve us a table in a restaurant outside the propriety and to book a taxi to arrived there, but we missed our reservation because of the Tesla taxi driver that they proudly called for us. First he didn’t know where to go, than when finally arrived he informed us that he didn’t accept credit card so he locked us inside the car and took us back to the hotel demanding cash. So we missed our Pierchic table and it was also too late for having dinner in hotel restaurant. But as if that wasn't enough the hotel charged our room 700 AED extra for the food that they said they would have “offer” us in one of their empty closed restaurant. So sad and disappointing! It was not what we expected from our stay in Dubai. A waste of time and money! And an unhappy birthday dinner for me 🙁 Read less

We just had a lovely stay at the One and Only Royal Mirage .. The Palace. We have stayed at this resort several times at both The Palace and Arabian Court but this was the first time since the COVID lockdown. The resort is still beautiful although there is no longer a view of The Palm because a new island has been built to moor cruise ships and yachts. In addition Arabian Court has more facilities for children and the building of 3 new towers next door is ongoing and noisy. The food at all restaurants remains excellent but on occasion The Rotisserie felt like a crèche even when eating later in the evening. We stayed in in a Club room now called Manzil (home) which included afternoon tea and sundown drinks and canapés. I’d define recommend upgrading to include this. The Manzil team is led by Jobi Thomas, he and his team were amazing in looking after us, attentive and nothing was too much trouble. Hassan looked after our room and made sure we had everything we needed. Oggi, Manager of the Beach Bar and his team did an excellent job when a day of torrential rain made it necessary to move facilities to The Celebrities restaurant. Abi in The Celebrities who managed the afternoon tea and Sundown drinks did a great job. One other staff member who contributed to making our stay more enjoyable was Yagya who was from Nepal, he had excellent customer service skills and is an asset to the Manzil team. Read less
