We had the most incredible stay for my 30th birthday celebrations. The staff went above and beyond to ensure it was truly memorable, every member of staff we encountered throughout our stay deserves a special mention. Can honestly say this the best hotel, the service really is next level and the best we’ve ever experienced worldwide. What really makes this hotel truly special is how personal it feels, the hospitality is exceptional…service at its finest. We were checked in by Emma who was very welcoming, professional & a friendly face throughout our stay. Special mention to our host Andrew, he was so amazing & attentive…nothing was too much trouble, really made our stay. Bobin looked after us daily round the pool, again brilliant service & another asset to the hotel. We appreciated the shot of the day, cold towels, cucumber slices etc., it’s the little things that really make this hotel stand out. We ate at 101, Zest & STAY. Food was impeccable and delicious throughout. STAY is well worth a visit for an incredible fine dining experience. Special mention to Rosanna who greeted us at both 101 and Zest, she was lovely and charismatic, as were all the staff across the three restaurants. A nice touch is Rahul, the General Manager taking time to speak to guests at breakfast. The rooms are elegant and spacious, we were in Manor House 7, great location within the resort with a gorgeous view. The whole resort is timeless luxury from the reception, to the grounds and the pool areas. Can see why people return to this hotel again and again, the service really is unbeatable. We will certainly be returning (& we don’t normally do back to the same place) and have recommended to friends too. We did a dual hotel holiday but really didn’t want to leave this incredible place. Thank you again to everyone for making my birthday such a special occasion, everything about our stay was perfect. Read less

What an incredible hotel! probably the best I have ever stayed in. Our room (in the Mansion house) was huge! massive bathroom, high ceilings, wonderful view, luxury +++ Our concierge ANDREW was amazing and absolutely nothing was too much trouble for this charming man! The food was excellent, the spa was wonderful, the gym was brilliant (and the staff so helpful in making sure I got the most out of the machines plus showing me some tips and tricks to maximise my workouts). I LOVED this hotel and would not hesitate to rebook, recommend to friends and generally dream about returning to ASAP Read less

An Unforgettable Stay at One&Only The Palm A True Oasis of Luxury From the moment we arrived at One&Only The Palm, we were enveloped in a world of refined elegance and exceptional hospitality. Nestled on the private, tranquil west crescent of Palm Jumeirah, this resort is a serene sanctuary that offers breathtaking views of the Dubai skyline, yet feels worlds away from the city's hustle. The architecture and design seamlessly blend Moorish and Andalusian influences, creating a majestic yet intimate ambiance. The rooms and suites are impeccably appointed, with luxurious touches, spacious layouts, and private terraces that open onto lush gardens or the glistening sea. Service was nothing short of outstanding — warm, personalized, and genuinely attentive. Every staff member we encountered went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and delight. Dining was a highlight, particularly at STAY by Yannick Alléno, where every course was a culinary masterpiece. Breakfasts at ZEST were equally memorable, with an array of global and regional delights served in a beautiful setting. The pool area, private beach, and Guerlain Spa were all pristine and peaceful, providing the perfect escape for rest and rejuvenation. One&Only The Palm is not just a hotel it's an experience of timeless luxury, where every detail is thoughtfully curated. We left feeling refreshed, pampered, and already dreaming of our return. Highly recommended for couples, families, and anyone seeking discreet luxury in the heart of Dubai. Read less

We've been 5 times now and just can't bring ourselves to stay anywhere else in Dubai. If you value tranquility and service rather than the usual chaos of Dubai, this is the place.

We've been 5 times now and just can't bring ourselves to stay anywhere else in Dubai. If you value tranquility and service rather than the usual chaos of Dubai, this is the place. We normally do 7 days here without even leaving, but after about 5 days you'll start to get a little bored with the food despite a very extensive array of menus. This is difficult to compete with, and see it as a positive. The Suite with Pool is nice, especially if you have youngsters who need to nap in the day. In typical O&O fashion they don't market this very well, which is fine by me. What you probably don't know is they built an entirely new, huge pool (adult only) over the water, which has a combination of beds and seating along with a full bar. That makes it the 3rd pool at this resort(!), and you barely see anyone else as a result. Bliss. Read less
