Simply the best hotel we have ever stayed in! Opulent, impeccable service and incredibly friendly staff that make you feel like you are the only guests in the hotel. The food is also just excellent. For breakfast I visited the “ healthy station” every day as it was perfect for me, fresh fruit prepared in front of you by a smiling happy staff member. There are ample high quality breakfast selections available for you to enjoy whilst seated looking out to the beautiful gardens. Lunch: We used the pool service and the quality was excellent, served to your sun bed in a sealed container with proper cutlery and napkins Dinner: Choose from one of about 5 high end dining experiences from Indian, Japanese, Arabic to name a few. All the serving staff are excellent and friendly. The pool: We had a raised double bed on the edge of the pool every day and it was fantastic! No struggling for beds whatsoever. Complimentary iced water all day & sun block also. The pool manager Michael was superb and attended to us every day by topping up our water, laying out our towels and making sure all was 5*. He was brilliant and really enhanced our experience. The room: Outstanding! Samud our room attendant and his colleague Karen were also 5*. Samud was there every day to make sure the room was perfect in every way. He also left us a beautiful towel display on our anniversary which was a lovely touch. He was always happy and extremely polite & friendly. In summary, we loved it ! Will be back as often as we can. A beautiful hotel. Read less

Had an amazing stay at this beautiful hotel for 9 days. Out of all the hotels I have been to in Dubai, it is definitely one of the most stunning and homely. Couldn't fault the interior and ambience. Despite travelling through the disruptive weather conditions, the check in process was very easy and quick. They were also happy to upgrade our room which was a plus. We also had an amazing room service cleaner Bahaa who always generously topped up our amenities knowing we were a large group. The guys around at breakfast were so helpful, and also made sure we received anything we needed regardless of how busy it was. Although it was such a beautiful hotel, there were a few cons: Firstly, the rooms are extremely dark and the little lighting that is provided hardly worked, there were always a few lights that would not turn on. We also encountered minor issues with the bathroom however they were fixed as soon as I reported them. Secondly, the service received from the outdoor staff was pretty disappointing as they were inconsistent with the service they delivered. For example, some days doors would be opened for us when leaving a taxi, and others we wouldn't be greeted in any way at all. In terms of food, it was pretty satisfactory and freshly prepared however, it became quite repetitive especially the breakfast buffet. Overall, we still enjoyed our stay here. Read less
