Anantara The Palm Dubai Resort

Dear Anantara team, We have arrived back from our one week stay at the resort. I cannot say thank you enough for making our stay so pleasurable. The resort was immaculate and the food at all the restaurants we ate in was very good - especially Mekong. We have been to Dubai several times and I can say hand on heart that the hospitality we have received has been the best. Every staff member that we interacted with were very welcoming and friendly and nothing was ever too much. In particular I would like to say a thank you to Jeffrey, Dee, Samuel and Faizan. We will definitely be back and will most definitely be recommending Anantara to our friends and family. Best wishes Priyesh, Komal and Avi

Reading other reviews, there is a common theme here that the management have got this resort more or less right, and I can only endorse that. We (family of 3 adults) stayed for 7 nights in a Premier Lagoon Access Room at the end of February, the first week of March. We did need a bit of adjustment early on as we found little in the way of drawers for clothes in what was a large room. My wife decided to 'live out of her suitcase' but this did not pose too much of a problem, but perhaps a consideration could be made for extra storage and drawers. My son who is 6 foot 3 inches wasn't too comfortable on the put up bed in our room, but he got used to it. The clothes storage and son's bed were the only things we commented on while we stayed at this brilliant resort. We felt so relaxed and well looked after by the staff. A special mention to lifeguard Michael who chatted with us on many occasions. As well as named staff, a big plus for the resort is the bird wildlife. As we sunbathed next to the pool, at times you could hear no voices but the sounds of birds. You felt you were in a tropical forest with the trickle of water nearby, it was so relaxing. I won't go into them as most other reviews already have, but all the restaurants delivered, they were exceptional! We stayed half board and went to breakfast late which more or less kept us going until dinner. The price of drinks? Well we had read other comments and decided it was a holiday where we would not go too mad on the quantity of drinks. But we had a glass of wine and water with our meals. All still very enjoyable. Thank you management and staff of the Anantara Dubai for a wonderful stay. We would have no hesitation in choosing you again.

Spent a day in one of their beach cabanas and would highly recommend the experience, as they’re nicely tucked away from the generic rows of sun beds. Even if you’re not staying at the hotel (which I’ve done several times in the past), a full-day beach and pool access with a lunch/early dinner is still an amazing experience on its own. The beach is very clean + the water is very calm and perfect for paddle boarding (they’ve got the rental station right beside the volleyball court). Make sure to get there early, to be able to enjoy the beach facilities to the fullest. They’ve also got a happy hour at the pool bar with buy-1-get-1 cocktails + the sunset views from the Beach House restaurant are out of this world. Thank you so much to the service team on the beach – for a quick service and attentiveness. Truly enjoyed and will surely come back!
