Brand New Hotel
Everything was perfect. The hotel had just opened, and everything was brand new. The staff was excellent, especially the reception team and the woman who served the welcome drink. The facilities on the beach were entertaining, and the pool was great. They also have a dance instructor who leads workouts with guests while they are in the pool.

While the hotel is generally not bad, but i had 2 big issues: 1. They didn't acknowldge the VIP status from Expedia, hence none of the benefits were received. 2. The dining options are generally limited, and the quality of food can be better.

This hotel is in palm jumeirah, a bit far from the airport but close to downtown Dubai and it has a good breakfast selection as well as very good staff. I got the hotel for a good price during January and it exceeded my expectations, also the sea view was amazing.

Too disappointed!
There is a construction site in front of the hotel. We asked for a quite room, sea view, but they gave us a room facing the construction site, crane view. It was too noisy in the early morning and we couldn't sleep at all. Not much choice in dinner buffet. Flies flying on the table during breakfast. A five -star hotel shouldn't be like this.

Siavash, 7-night family trip
Verified Expedia guest review

6/10 Good

While the location was nice, by the water, it was 30-40 minutes away from the town, quite isolated. Checkin process was not great, we had 4 rooms, they had us on different rooms, delivered the luggage of all 4 to a single room, and had us hunting around for them late at night when we were exhausted. I also tripped on their 2 inch high area rugs, and was told that I should've been wearing flats (instead of wedges) meanwhile 3 others in our party tripped over the same rugs. For the amount we paid, it was disappointing. The room ergonomics were off, awkward, making it hard to get around...too many light settings/buttons to push with small font on the labeling, making it hard to figure out how to operate the switches without glasses. The food in the buffet was superb, just about the only great thing there. Wouldn't really recommend this hotel for all the above reasons.

2/10 Poor

Poor housekeeping. Property was okay. People in the reception are very poor at communicating for what something is charged. I was about to miss my flight because of the check out delay. Use their water bottles carefully, my husband and I cut our fingers trying to open them.
