we stayed for three days at the hotel in one of the rooms facing towards the veranda, looking out towards the polo field. the hotel room was one of the most tastefully decorated one i've ever been in, and it is huge: high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, a big bathroom, you name it. the restaurant called rare is superb. the service...

We had a lovely few days at the Desert Palm resort. It is listed as one of the small boutique hotels of the world and is recommended in Mr & Mrs Smith. Staff are very subtle and attentive, the rooms spacious, sumptious and very well equipped - and the grounds and hotel beautifully maintained. Polo games are played daily and... More

We chose the desert palm due to the offer on at the time. Both of us had been to Dubai before and this time was as a stopover on the way to Sri lanka/Maldives. We wanted somewhere to relax and also to be able to visit the tower and Atlantis whilst there. From the information given on the hotel we... More

On arriving at the Hotel we were greeted with smiles, a glass of juice and another cold towel. We were... More

The Desert Palm offers a unique experience in Dubai. It is located on the outskirts of Dubai and well out of the main Central Business District (CBD) and Jumeirah Beach areas. So if you want the ‘buzz’ of being ‘where the action is’ then this might not be the choice for you. If you want a quiet(ish), beautifully designed and... More

Went 2nd week Oct for 10 days, have been before and last stayed at the One & Only Royal Mirage Residence and Spa on the beach.
