This is one of the most endearing hotels we have ever stayed in. It is so not Dubai its ridiculous. Set in acres of green polo fields that you have complete access to as a guest, this is tropical paradise. It was very quiet during the week and got busier at the weekends as people travel in from Oman and... more

Desert Palm is an enchanting place, one of the most stylish and relaxing hotel / resorts I have ever stayed at. Situated in an isolated and totally undeveloped part of Dubai, you immediately feel distanced from the hustle-bustle, construction, traffic and pollution - which gives you a great first impression. Not far from the airport though a little bit of... more

When we were shown our suite, we were speechless. 75 Sq m ultra stylish with the best bedlinen, decor, bells & whistles! Great Spa, restaurant and stunning views over the polo fields. Absolute calm with no children at gorgeous pool. Free WiFi access all around hotel and two Mac's at free disposal in lobby. Only downside was the smell from... more

I've been lucky enough to have stayed in some of the world's best hotels. My previous favourite was the Sanderson or Brown;s in London. Now it's here. Superb place, right on the polo fields. And great value if you book on the internet - about a third of the rate that they quote if you book direct. Would be lovely... more

The Desert Palm Hotel is modern luxurious. It was opened in April 2008. All suites and villas are nicely decorated with design furniture and high-tech products.

Great property, beautiful surrounds but most importantly staff and food are fantastic and out off this world. Just our of Dubai but you have a great view back over Dubai. If you love polo and horses there are plenty to see. Staff are just so helpful. Would recommend any body to stay there. more

The Spa facilities are amazing. Great place... more

We stayed at this hotel last weekend (June 2008) for a night away. After reading the other review on this site (the only other review we could find anywhere for this hotel!) we were slightly worried but shouldn't have been as overall we had an excellent night! On arrival at reception we were greeted by very enthusiastic and helpful staff... more
