Anantara The Palm Dubai Resort

Nice hotel for families, it very far away from city center.

Disappointing..... stayed at other anantara hotels and this one does not compare. Stayed in much better for a lot less money in Dubai too. Busy, noisey and service not great. Restaurants all full for dinner unless you are willing to eat late at night.

The hotel was amazing. It was very romantic, loved room service food was very good and reasonably priced. There was happy hour spread out over 5 hrs at various bars. The Mai bar was our favorite. The waiters were amazing, Amar, Imesh, and William made our experience great. The bed was very comfy, housekeeping and turn down service were very accommodating. The 24/7 lagoon access was great, they also had a bar service that ran through in the afternoons. We thoroughly enjoyed out stay.

Anantara Resort is secluded and serene, with a beach and relaxing lagoon surrounding the entire area. The staff are really attentive and helpful, nothing is too much trouble.

This hotel is actually my favourite in the world. I have stayed 25 nights in 3 years I think. Having visited 28 countries on 70+ trips in the last year, I’ll always return to Dubai and always return to the Anantara on the Palm. My check in wasn’t flawless this time, because there was a damp problem with the first room - but the management and staff are awesome, they moved me within hours, they gave me a free hour massage and a bottle of wine, which as a younger guy who works a high paced job and wants no stress whilst on holiday, is hugely appreciated. Then my partner’s inflatable went missing from the pool, so they dropped off an even bigger one and another bottle of wine! I can’t speak highly enough of this resort and if you visit any hotel in your life, it should be this one, the food is exceptional, they have world class chefs across 6 restaurants and a hugely varied menu from Kangaroo to Sushi. The pools are exceptional and the staff are exceptional. Mohammad in the Crescendo restaurant is awesome and Victor in concierge tried so hard to find a cinema where I could eat and watch a film that I felt bad for asking. I’d recommend the lagoon access and will hopefully book a water villa next time, equally the general pools are great, as is the spa and the gym, they never run out of melon and cold towels! I may have to miss a year but love the August heat in Dubai so i’ll no doubt be back when I can find the time!
