W Dubai - The Palm

Dubai Beach, Dubai

Virgin rating

The hotel

Arguably the globe’s coolest name in hotels, the W has finally hit Dubai’s coveted Palm Jumeirah neighbourhood. Seriously stylish, it brings the W’s famous VIP vibe with it, with audacious design and décor, Michelin-starred master chefs at its signature dining venues, a spa that mixes chilled massages with playful party-prep treatments like coloured lashes, and chic hangout spaces like SoBe – a rooftop bar with 360 degree views over Dubai’s skyscrapers and the Arabian Sea. The fashionable feel continues down at W The Palm Dubai’s WET Deck, where you’ll find a pristine sandy shoreline, DJ booth, and space-age cabana pods sitting on pool-top platforms.

Our experience with the hotel was usually good, because we had no problems while we stayed at the W Palm in Dubai. And we stayed there many times. I would like to highlight the exceptionally great job and service the guest manager Kashif is offering the guests. Also the breakfast team is wonderful! However, if you happen to have a REAL problem and have to deal with the management on the highest level, you cannot accept a professional treatment of a serious problem as the management is really poor. We are not going to come back to the hotel. We had a serious incident because of the hotel negligence and regardless of that, the hotel did nothing to make this up to us until today. I got electrocuted in my room and the hotel did not even offer me one dinner or anything to make it up. Even though dinner in a case like this is just a joke.. I would not recommend staying in the hotel anymore because when you are on a vacation and you rely on the help of the management, you are not going to get the security and help you would expect like e.g. covering the medical costs - when you travel to a foreign country this is a big No Go! Dubai has a very competitive hospitality market and there are many other great hotels! Enjoy! Read less

You will feel very comfortable and relieved once You will feel very comfortable and relieved once you choose this hotel for your holidays.. We went there for our birthday celebrations and as soon as we arrived we had a great time. From the ambassadors at the entrance to the reception they were all formidable. Our biggest thanks goes to the legendary Elijah the manager in charge throughout our accommodation. We will never stop thanking him because he was the icing on the cake. He made our birthday celebrations even more memorable, he moved everyone for us.He sent us a very cute and sweet girl Rita to deliver us balloons and cakes and furthermore she put herself at our disposal to take unforgettable photos and videos in our room then Elijah also sent us a second surprise during breakfast with more cake and balloons and we were treated like queens. That's why we will thank him forever, he is a formidable and very friendly person. So thank you Elijah and your Team, you were very good and treated us very well. We also met the guys by the pool, one of them was Sunny, very kind and very approachable. It was an unforgettable stay that we will do again and will gladly recommend to friends and relatives. you choose this hotel for your holidays.. Read less

During check-in, I had a technical problem, the receptionist (whose name I've forgotten, sorry!) did his utmost to help us, and with a lot of patience, thank you to him! Then his colleague Mr. Akhtar upgraded our room and also took care of check-out. Nice view from the terrace and outside the hotel, you can enjoy a beautiful sunset. The staff at the beach are nice too, not easy for them given the heat. The only thing that could be improved is the breakfast, which seems to lack a few things. In short, I recommend this hotel. Thank you all, I'll be back Inchaa'allah. Read less
