So many lovely things to say about this hotel. Welcome from concierge before we even arrived. Then a beautiful cake to celebrate my sisters birthday! It made it so special. The views from the room were incredible. All staff from reception to breakfast were excellent. Always so attentive. The ladies at breakfast knew exactly who I was and seated us quickly. Now one person I cannot forget is Borzo. This man was incredible and made our poolside experience the best. As well as organising a beautiful birthday cabana for my sister to continue the celebration. Nothing was ever too much for him and he consistently checked on us each day we were there. Please send him a massive thank you. What a service! And what a hotel. Highly recommended and cannot wait to return. Read less

This is our second visit to the Waldorf Astoria, our first was May 2023 and I’m pleased to say that the standards have been upped. The hotel is the best we’ve stayed at in Dubai and will now be our go to. The vibe & aesthetic of the hotel is simply perfect. The staff are fantastic and couldn’t do more for you. Especially Ojo who runs the adult pool. He is absolutely fantastic at what he does and is a huge credit to the hotel. There is a small amount of building works however you honestly do not notice them at all so doesn’t impact my review. The doormen whenever you arrive or leave are excellent, never fail to open the door of your car and are very easy to chat with. In summary this hotel is a true 5* luxury experience and you must not miss out. Read less

We spent a day here and it was an amazing time! Clean beach, tasty food and delicious drinks. Very calm and relaxing ambiance, which is rare to find in other beach bars. Akram and Santhu made sure that we are well taken care of! Definitely will be returning!
