The hotel

Anantara’s latest 5-star edition is located on the fantastic Palm Jumeirah and perfectly combines contemporary Asian flair with world-class facilities on this peaceful part of the palm. Rooms are grouped in private clusters along a series of shimmering lagoons, the only accommodations of this type in Dubai and backed by luscious landscape. Some have direct pool access. Some villas have infinity pools of their very own. On honeymoon? Upgrade to a One Bedroom Over Water Villa, perfect for any special occasion, not only are they sumptuously furnished but the gentle lapping of the ocean around you is a sound you’ll adore. Families too will love the Anantara, there’s so much for kids to do. Not only do children and teens have their very own clubs to hang out in, with activities galore, there’s a playground, babysitting on request and a private beach to play on. Whilst they’re busy, indulge yourself at the world-renowned Anantara Spa or laze by one of the swimming pools, topping up your tan. Come sundown, you’ve five restaurants to choose from, serving delicious dishes from around the world. First though, bag yourself a seat on the shisha deck and enjoy a cocktail!

We were looking forward to coming to the anantara after reading the reviews but within 5 minutes of arriving we knew we had made a mistake by coming here. After a night flight and arriving at the hotel at 10am, we checked in & asked if we could get some breakfast but was told no as our half board doesn't start til 3pm. But was offered a 25% discount if we paid for it. This was the start of all the upselling this hotel does 24/7. There was no welcome greet, no information given about the hotel or restaurants. The pool area is very tired looking and massively understaffed they offer a call button by the loungers we waited 35 minutes for someone to come over and other times no one came. This hotel does not offer a 5 star experience due to the lack of staff it has, what little staff they do have are rude not very attentive every time we ordered a drink or food at the pool it felt like we were putting them out. Empty drinks/bottles are left all day and not cleared. Breakfast buffet is average at best and has the same issues with lack of staff. There is a language barrier which makes things more difficult. Positives - the room was a good size and was kept clean daily. Mekong & Bushman excellent food and service. The view from the beach is amazing. As regular visitors to Dubai this is the worst hotel we've stayed in and won't be visiting again, it feels more like a 4 star hotel in Turkey. Read less

This is my first time having brunch in Crecendo Anantara Palm Jumeirah and I need to admit this is the best brunch I've had in UAE. We have decided as a family to come for a staycation in Anantara Palm Jumeirah to celebrate my mother's 60th birthday, and our first brunch as a family was in Crecendo and it truly exceeded our expectations: from the service we received from staff (Myat) and management (Amit) of the restaurant to the quality and variety of food we had, such rich and diverse food and different cuisines! We really enjoyed the music and the food besides the swimming pool with the beach view ! :) Read less
