Tonight we had Shehan as our waiter and he was absolutely brilliant. Nothing was too much of an effort for him and he made us feel very welcome and relaxed as soon as we arrived. I highly recommend coming here as the food was great and the staff were amazing

All of the staff is amazing!!!! How elegant and how big our room, without the kindess of the staff our stay can not be xtraordinary. I was very impressed with this hotel—it’s absolutely stunning and grand. I was also very happy because there’s a kids club here, and three amazing staff members, Hermando, Russian, and Aiza, played with my child. The kids club is so much fun with lots of activities like making photo frames and writing in a daily journal. It's so different from regular kids clubs; kids will never get bored here. I also met a butler from Indonesia named Ms. Nisa. I remember meeting her before at Raffles Jakarta, and to my surprise, she still remembered me—it was such a joy! Additionally, there was a guest relations officer named Shakila who was very kind and friendly. My stay here was truly extraordinary. Our room was upgraded, and we received a free extra bed. My child also got a bag filled with two plush toys and a tumblr bottle. It was an exceptional experience—absolutely worth the money! Read less

Hidden gem tucked away on the west side of the Palm. The style of the hotel is classical luxury. The lobby and tearoom is just jaw dropping gorgeous! The staff is very friendly and welcoming. The pricing feels quite affordable compared to the value you are getting. Would recommend!

My husband along with our young son stayed at the Raffles on the palm for 8 nights over the Christmas period leaving just before new years. In terms of the pros, the hotel is definitely very grand, opulent and breathtaking! It really does take you by surprise just how big the hotel is. Front of house were amazing with members of staff always ready at hand to help you out of your vehicle and assisting with luggage. The rooms very probably the most spacious we have had on the palm and decor was again, extremely beautiful. The food was always very good and the brunch on Saturday was out of this world! I found the resort to be really accomodating towards kids with a lot of activities for children during the period All focused of Xmas and making the entire week very magical for my son! The pool and beach were fantastic!!! As for the cons, well I have a quite a few. Firstly, turn around/room service was the first I have ever experienced. I mean some 3* have had better service. Only the bed was made and towels changed everything else left a mess, one night staff literally failed to take the plates with food from our room from the night before. I found the cleaning staff for the rooms to be really disinterested and just getting things 'over and done with'. Morning breakfast staff, not very friendly really moody and just looked over worked. Poor communication between staff with sometimes long delay between being sat and ordering our drinks. I also found the resort not be completely transparent in terms additional costs such as sat brunch - you have to pay extra 400 AED even if on half board for drinks - I mean how many Diet Coke can a person have for lunch?! I did speak to the managers regarding my concerns and all managers across the broad addressed my concerns when raised but I think when you are paying £9k+ for a weeks stay - that is premium pricing and I just don't expect the service we got - it was NOT 5* service compared to the likes of one and only and royal Atlantis! Now the question, for the price would I return - absolutely not. Which is such a shame because the resort is beautiful but customer service is everything. Really pleased with Jacob, manager from the cafe and Ola from front of house was an absolute delight! Beach staff and life guards were amazing. Read less
