Words cannot describe this hotel it is amazing. All of the staff are attentive ensuring you have an absolutely first class relaxing holiday. Our host was Andrew he met us everyday and ensured we had everything we needed. He was amazing the whole time we were there. Kooli served us at breakfast and remembered previous orders he was fantastic throughout our stay. Annie and Abu at the 101 restaurant were again fantastic ensuring everything was first class. We always received a warm welcome for a pre-dinner drinks from Faye and Krishna. Every single member of staff at this hotel provides first class service no matter what job they are doing. We visited the Spa and had a relaxing massage. The rooms are spacious and luxurious, the food is amazing with plenty of choice. The whole hotel is spotless. This was my first time in Dubai and I will definitely be back and will 100% be staying at the One and Only The Palm. Read less
