Lovely hotel with excellent staff. We enjoyed the food and especially well looked after by Yogi and Martha in Porterhouse. The hotel managed the extreme weather really well, with many staff working two full days without much rest. Appreciated the effort made by all at the hotel to make our stay so enjoyable.

Another amazing stay at the Sofitel on The Palm. All of the hotel and rooms are kept spotlessly clean and all the staff are amazingly friendly and attentive all the time. A special mention goes to Jia and Agustin from the premier lounge - ever helpful and the epitome of what good hospitality service should be. It’s just the extra touches which make the difference - my children absolutely adored the towel statues which resembled their teddies from the housekeeping staff. Although I don’t have any individual names, I want to also thank all the staff in the kids club. Our children yet again said it’s the best kids club ever and a lot of that is due to the attentiveness of the staff. Read less

Such a beautiful resort among the Palm hotels, I really enjoyed my stay at the property. We were staying in the Prestige Suite with the Palm view which is one of the best suites I’ve stayed in. I’d really like to appreciate and mention Ritvik from the front desk who was so generous, and helped us to relocate to this suite. He really has the value of a good hospitality professional. Would love to come back and stay again next year! Read less
