Dubai Luxury Hotels

"Hotel Amenities and Environment: The 7-star hotel environment is impeccable, boasting a water park and an aquarium. I saw on Xiaohongshu that beach slippers were complimentary, but unfortunately, they weren't – only a beach bag was provided. The room itself was decent. Dining: The most satisfying part of this trip was the Club Lounge. It's actually a Michelin-starred restaurant! Breakfast starts at 7 AM, and the afternoon tea selection is also very rich. You can even order drinks during happy hour. Choosing a club room that grants access to the lounge is absolutely worth it. Service: The service was very enthusiastic. I arrived at the hotel quite early, and after my third inquiry, they finally arranged a room for me just before 12 PM."

"A truly perfect stay! It's cut from the same cloth as Atlantis but with a more artistic vibe. The fire and water fountain show is definitely worth seeing! Breakfast was abundant and varied. Due to a flight change, we had to check out a day early, and the hotel surprised us by delivering our ordered breakfast items right before we left. It was beautifully presented and far from a perfunctory gesture, which was a delightful surprise!"

"Raffles The Palm Dubai is truly one of my absolute favorite places in Dubai. From the very first moment, the atmosphere feels incredibly royal — refined, elegant, and deeply luxurious in the most tasteful way. The design of the hotel is simply stunning: timeless, sophisticated, and perfectly balanced between classic grandeur and modern comfort. The service deserves special praise — flawless, attentive, and very private. You genuinely feel cared for, but never disturbed. The view from the room over the sea is breathtaking and adds a sense of calm and exclusivity that is hard to find elsewhere in Dubai. The food is exceptional — truly delicious, with a clear signature of a talented chef and a thoughtful approach to every detail. This is a place I will definitely return to, and one I recommend wholeheartedly to anyone who appreciates beauty, impeccable service, and an unforgettable atmosphere."

"After staying last year, I recommended booking a 2nd-floor beachfront villa in the first row. The view was expansive, and it was convenient to get to the beach. This year, I went again, and by chance (due to a full house, the hotel upgraded us to a suite, but we could only check in at night, and for our subsequent plans, we couldn't enjoy late check-out from the suite), I unexpectedly discovered that villas in the back rows also offer good value for money; you don't always need the top-tier option. However, for the back-row rooms, I still recommend the 2nd floor for the expansive view. On the 1st floor, with buggies passing by, privacy is always a bit compromised. Also, you can check a map or notes to see which villa/room you're getting. Rooms facing the inner canal are quite good, while those facing the lawn have a slightly less appealing view. A 60-square-meter room is very spacious for two people. I believe all 2nd-floor rooms come with a balcony. The bathroom is quite large, almost half the size of the room. The price for the most basic room without breakfast is only one-third of the sea-view suite. Plus, Wild Wadi Waterpark tickets are included (if you go early, you can get free large towels, but they run out later. No need to rent a locker if you don't have valuables). Breakfast is 250 RMB per person, half price for children. You can book with breakfast or add it on-site if you decide to go. Dining at the hotel is quite expensive. A bowl of plain rice is 80 RMB, and spring rolls at 150 RMB are just ridiculous. The hotel claims to have 20 restaurants, but honestly, there isn't much to eat. A taxi ride to the nearby Mall of the Emirates costs 100 RMB round trip, and there's a food court downstairs with burgers, pizza, and Chinese food. But this doesn't compensate for the expensive/limited hotel dining options. The breakfast in the main building is good; the egg chef is very skilled, making sunny-side-up eggs tender but not undercooked. Fruits and bread are plentiful, though Chinese-style options are limited to some steamed dim sum. The cleanliness and housekeeping of the room are impeccable. During this stay, the butler service improved; there were no more unanswered calls, and they were generally very enthusiastic. The buggies and abra boats usually arrived quickly. The only frustrating part was the local staff's math during checkout. We had one night upgraded to a suite, then for the next three nights, all upgrades and breakfast were canceled, and we paid separately for breakfast for 4 days (2 people for 2 days, 3 people for 2 days). The entire checkout process, the butler (the only one I had to complain about this time, a Caucasian person who seemed unenthusiastic), upon seeing I had an issue with the bill, actually said she couldn't handle it and told me to go to the front desk to check out. The front desk recalculated several times and finally found that one day's meal charges were incorrect, and one transaction was misallocated... it took 4 recalculations in total. Of course, the front desk ladies were very patient, and the gentleman at the front desk during check-in was also very patient. We arrived quite late, and he still explained the upgrade costs. After the first night's upgrade, he even arranged a late check-out for the room change the next day. Although he mistakenly upgraded us to a 1st-floor sea-facing suite instead of the room type I wanted, his attitude was very good, which prevented me from getting angry."

"The room balcony is super large, the bedding is very comfortable, and the swimming pool has a great view. Later, I met a Chinese housekeeper March who provided very good service and gave me a leather perfume bottle and many small things, all of which were very textured. The hotel arranged birthday cakes and desserts, and each tasted very good. However, there were really many people in the hotel, almost all of them were locals, and I didn't see a single Chinese person, haha. Every restaurant in the hotel was full at night, and the atmosphere was very good. You might not get a seat without a reservation. I especially like the VIP swimming pool. The breakfast was extremely rich, with lobsters and oysters to eat as you like. Thanks again to the Chinese housekeeper March, who also called a business car for us when we left."

"There are many choices for breakfast, the service is very good, there is a beach and a swimming pool, and the hotel also has several restaurants. It's about 20 minutes away from the city. I will come again next time, it's great!"

"The room was very comfortable, the bed was a little too high, but the hotel's breakfast was a little bit inferior to the Four Seasons brand in terms of price. Even though it was the off-season, the hotel's dishes should not be like this. The food and drinks this time were disappointing. The good news is that there are resident singers in the bar, and smoking is allowed~"

"Check-in was a bit slow, but the bed and disposable items were really comfortable. I really felt that they were carefully prepared and not skimped on."

"The hotel boasts world-class facilities and aesthetics. However, the services around the rooftop bar and pool could be more flexible. Some staff members were slightly curt. It's advisable for guests to make reservations in advance for anything related to the rooftop, as it gets very busy with visitors."

"We were extremely satisfied with our stay! The food at the hotel's il caffe was fantastic. The waiter, Herry, was exceptionally warm and friendly, with a bright smile and attentive, meticulous service. He proactively refilled our coffee and explained the dishes, making us feel right at home. His service made breakfast a truly enjoyable experience. Highly recommended!"
