Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Anantara The Palm Dubai Resort is widely appreciated for its spacious and clean rooms, some offering lagoon access directly from the patio, which many guests find super convenient. The breakfast buffet stands out with its expansive and delicious options, including a fresh juice station. Dining at Mekong is a highlight for its authentic Thai experience, while the Ocean Pool Villas offer stunning sunset views and unique features like a glass floor to view fish; however, the journey to get to Dubai Marina can sometimes take up to an hour during rush hour due to traffic on the Palm. For families, the kids club is a favourite, with many returning specifically for this amenity.

The breakfast was expansive and delicious (i especially liked the fresh juice station). our beautiful lagoon access room was steps away from the water. I could walk right into the lagoon from my patio.
The beach water was not very clean. It contained a lot of seaweed. the wait times for the golf carts were excessive, even when i was trying to get back to my room quickly.

The breakfast buffet had a HUGE variety. I sampled items from different cuisines, including Thai and Indian. Fresh juices were a GREAT touch. The complimentary Dilmah tea selection was nice. The room was spacious and well kept.
The AC in the room was quite loud. It made sleeping a little difficult! I wish the hotel would do something about this issue.
