An amazing holiday for myself and my 7 year old son. I have been fortunate to travel and stay in many hotels around the world… and this absolutely is the best I have been in. Nothing was too much trouble for the stay. Service delivered with kindness and common sense. The chefs produced an abundance of healthy, varied, fresh and good quality meals right through from breakfast to evening meals. We tried Lao restaurant and that was equally fine and tasty food. The restaurant staff were attentive enough to learn our names quickly and took note of the tables which my son liked to sit at. My son was especially taken with the attentiveness of Shivani, though all of the staff were engaging and polite. Room service was super and the staff even put the effort in to engage my son by giving him an appropriate sized bathrobe and entertained him with various towel art characters. The pool attendants both the waiters and the lifeguards did a great job of making sure we had water, towels and stopped to make conversation. Sasi was very good at ensuring all guests were looked after and keen to know if they could do more. We were sad to witness a nearing drowning of a young boy, the quick reaction of the lifeguard meant he was safe, however it was infuriating to watch his mother, aunty and grandmother continue to ignore the advice of the lifeguard and not wear appropriate floatation equipment which meant the focus of the lifeguards was on them and created an increased atmosphere of tension. I would look to support your staff in this instance in removing unpleasant and disobedient guests as it impacts on the rest of those using the pool never mind making your staffs jobs nigh on impossible. Thank you for a fabulous staff we do hope to return. Read less

Absolutely would stay here again. The staff was so helpful and so very kind. Thr rooms have stunning views and the amenities without question are superb. The soft robes and slippers. Beds are very comfortable with very nice turn down service. I would like to give praises to Yasiutha, our housekeeping staff. He made our stay here so comfortable. One day, we left our safe wide open in a rush to get to an excursion. All of our valuables were in there, including all of our cash and passports. Worried the entire day, we came back to the room with the safe closed everything still in place and the closet door closed. THANK YOU AGAIN YASIUTHA for keeping US SAFE. Also, I would like to thank the front desk staff for their utmost kindness. Highly recommend room service as well. We will be back Dubai and WE WILL COME BACK TO WALDORF ASTORIA DUBAI PALM JUMEIRAH ❤️ Read less

Fantastic Hotel, lovely staff with great facilities, my family will definitely be returning :) A big thank you to Nadeem, Asitha and the rest of the Mezzerie team including Chef Sandeep and the Pastry Chef. My son has many severe food allergies and the restaurant team were extremely professional and attentive in making sure my son knew each day what he could eat and what he should avoid. We had a terrible experience with our flights which were delayed and our luggage was lost, however the concierge team Leerio Aquino and Selim Merichko were able to chase the airline and airport to ensure that we receive the luggage as soon as possible, i am confident with their help we would not have located our luggage so quickly. The reception staff where also extremely helpful and professional, they saw that our flight was delayed and that we arrived past midnight at the hotel and organized a free room upgrade and allowed us to order dinner at the hotels expense, when we leaving our flights were early morning and reception again arranged beautiful boxed breakfasts taking into account my sons allergies. Although we had some setbacks on our holiday the Waldorf Astoria and its staff made our holiday a fantastic experience and we loved every minute of our time at the hotel. Thank You Waldorf Astoria for a wonderful experience. Mr Iki Singh + Family Read less
