Top Dubai Hotel Reviews

Sofitel Dubai The Palm Resort & Spa

Sofitel Dubai The Palm Resort & Spa

8/10 Good
"Room was spacious and cleaned daily to a high standard. Toiletries provided such as shampoo, conditioner, toothbrushes, etc which was a nice touch. We had access into the Premier lounge - restrictions apply which was a little annoying and the timings felt awkward on purpose particularly for the alcoholic drinks in the late afternoon. So we only used it for breakfast. It's recommended if you have access to the lounge to have breakfast here as it's less busy than the main buffet. Some of the restaurants were closed which again was disappointing as it limited your options. Central Dubai is around 30 mins taxi ride each way so it's a lot to travel every night. Whilst we felt the room was reasonably priced, all drinks, food etc were extremely expensive so do factor this in before you choose to stay. Wine starts from around £80 a bottle. Soft drinks around £6. Beer pint (500ml) around £16. Food on an evening for 4 people cost us around £200+ Staff were really helpful and we enjoyed our stay overall."
