I get that this hotel may be a great short break location if you live in Dubai, but my wife and I stayed there for one night on the way to the airport after a week in Oman and were disappointed. Not by the room, which was excellent in design, but very noisy air con, and above the resturant and... More

I'm not a fan of large hotels so when we decided to visit Dubai for some winter sunshine I set out on my mission to find something small and boutique. Mr&Mrs Smith came to my rescue with the Desert Palm. Wonderful decor throughout. The room was large and had an amazing bath sited in an area with cotton voile curtains... More

This is my 4th trip to Desert Plam and once again they have impressed me with their service and quality. It is a true 'boutique' hotel offering all the facilities of Dubai's top hotels without the 'hustle and bustle.' The food continues to be excellent and the staff continue to excel.... More

We recently stayed 3 nights as a stop over and chose Desert Palm as we wanted to shy away from the huge hotels that Dubai has become famous for. A lot of the bigger hotels we reviewed seemed to have out dated decor and simply want to impress with size alone; DP offered lovely, modern surrounds without the crowds. Our... More

We live in Dubai so it is always nice to get away from all the hustle and And bustle. It was our second time here and we really liked it. The new polo suites are lovely and spacious, and the amenities are all top class. The robes were the only disappointment in the room, but that was no big deal,... More

Stayed here last week for five days, and thought it was a fabulous hotel. We have been to dubai twice before, and stayed at the westin the first time, and the one and only the second time, both on jumeirah beach. Whilst this hotel is a long way out, this does make it an incredibly relaxing sanctuary, and a cab... More

We stayed 3 nights at the Desert Palm as a stopover. The room was large, well equipped and beautifully furnished. The staff cannot do enough for you. We ate our meals in the Epicure restaurant which is reasonably priced. Even fussy vegetarians like us were impressed. It's a very quiet scluded hotel and you don't hear the planes from the... More

We stayed 3 nights at Desert Palm at the end of our trip to Dubai and were really impressed with the accommodation. We had a room overlooking the polo field, and the combination of the huge windows letting in lots of light, the high ceilings, and the sheer spaciousness of the place made us go 'wow' when we first walked...
