    Stayed at the Waldorf Astoria on the Palm for 2 nights as the second part of our honeymoon from Mauritius! The hotel was amazing, so big, spacious and clean!... We did have to wait a couple of hours after landing in Dubai from Mauritius at 4am, we received a complimentary breakfast starting at 6am and then we’re given our room around 9:30am... The manager at the Waldorf was fantastic and ensured we was well looked after as soon as our room became available... He even ensured the room had honeymoon decor once he found out we was in Dubai for our honeymoon... Our sea facing room was very lovely!...

    ...Staff then offered a paid upgrade to the pearl club suite without pearl club benefits for a price that's more than the booking the suite upfront with pearl club benefits. Paid for that anyone because the suite was really nice... Mary from the restaurant is especially friendly and showed me to the restroom... Pool and beach service is decent, food quality is good but there's a price to that... This is not a once off phenomenon but throughout my entire 3d2n stay Intensely nickel-and-diming... Called the concierge to check if the bottle of nuts were chargeable but not sure if we have heard wrongly, we thought that they were free... When we called for refilled for second day, we were told that they were chargeable... But one small bottle of nuts costs 55 AED... It shouldn't be hard to leave a menu for those chargeable items so guests will not be mistaken... While I do not expect luxury property stays to provide great value, but I also definitely do not expect to be left with a sour taste at any point...

    ...Booked a King Deluxe with Palm view... The restaurants are quite expensive, while the pool restaurant (available for dining too) is more affordable... This restaurant, Palm Avenue, is worth the money for the food... Salie served us and he is a great contribution to the team there...

    ...The Hotel is everything you would expect, but my biggest gripe is the price of everything not part of my stay. I was on a Half board but was only allowed to use the buffet rest restaurant, which was good, but expect to pay £150 per head on top for any of the others... Drinks, well forget it, small White Wine and a bottled beer in the bar £25, so two rounds £50... So basically, the Bar is empty every night, I heard one man say to the Bar staff, why is it I have to re-mortgage my house to buy a round... A beer round the pool lunch tine £12 a pint, and Burger and Chips about £35... So, to me these prices are just not justified, so I will NEVER go to Dubai again, the place is nice and clean, and safe, but these silly prices make it unenjoyable... In addition, at the weekend they have various Ex-Pat clubs that get cheap access to the pool, so very busy with non-residents...

    From the moment we arrived in the reception area we were made to feel pretty special. It was our first family holiday with a 2.5 year old and 8 month baby in tow and I have to say, the Waldorf and it’s staff made it such a memorable experience from beginning to end... The service is impeccable, the rooms are timeless and beautiful and the pool/beach area are so picturesque... We looked forward to the breakfast every morning as the selection was vast and very tasty... The staff were amazing with our children and really took the time to make them feel special... Room service was fast and the food, very yummy... I really liked that the assistant manager of the hotel seemed very hands on and approached us every time he saw us to make sure our stay was going well and to see if we needed anything... We also loved the fact that the children were not forgotten when it came to slippers for the room and children’s toiletries... On the final night a special surprise was left in our room for when we got back - a tipi in the corner of our room with a colouring set for our toddler to enjoy and a monkey made out of towels, hung by the tipi... It was a beautiful gesture and something that will stay with us... The hotel provided us with a sterilising unit to sterilise the baby’s bottles in our room which was extremely helpful and made up a bottle of hot milk for the toddler every night...

The Pearl Club staff were all lovely, the food and drinks could not have been better... I rarely feel the need to write a review as I would expect good service from this class of hotel, but the service provided was fantastic and deserves a few minutes to write a review... A big thank you to Sagar Joshi the Pearl Club Supervisor who made our stay feel extra special... Actually a massive 'thank you' to every single member of staff at the Waldorf Astoria, every single person greeted you with a smile and nothing was too much trouble...

    ...My friend who booked the weekend had called the hotel and double checked the day before arrival with the reception that we had a room confirmed for 3 people which would include 3 beds. When we got to reception for check in, we were met with a lady called Prinkana who insisted my friend had not been informed this by her staff (as no room has 3 adult size beds) and consistently suggested that the room was big enough for 3 people and that they would add a camper bed which was child size (and very uncomfortable) This was very unsatisfactory considering we were 3 adults who expected to have a bed each and this is supposed to be a luxury hotel... Our friend was also told she could use her pilots club card for the brunch and it would allow her a 50% discount on the bill...

    Me and my family stayed here for five days, this hotel is amazing, it’s got everything, sandy beach, nice restaurants, great rooms but you know what makes this hotel? What really makes this hotel special is the hard working staff, who make you feel at home... When we first arrived there was a little mix up with our booking but after I spoke to Manveer Singh the reception manager he made sure we had a unforgettable experience... Manveer is an asset to this hotel, with his contribution our stay was fantastic... Breakfast was a great to start the day, you get so much choice, we were there for a hour every morning... My wife and my son have a gluten intolerance this hotel made sure we felt safe... The chef will discuss your allergies and advise you... Hasson, Mohimmer and Isosh really took care of us... Moshin from house keeping who kept the kids amused with his messages and making towels into animals... The shuttle driver who’s name I have forgot... I feel the reception can improve on communication skills because we did receive the wrong times on a couple of occasions for the shuttle...

We especially liked that Pearl Club was allocated to the 5th floor of the hotel and could only be accessed by Pearl Club guests... The Pearl Club lounge staff remembered everything we liked, and always greeted us as friends... As we travelled without children, we especially appreciated the adult only pool and the Pearl Club lounge being restricted to guests over 12 years of age after 5pm...

Customer service seems to be high on the agenda, every member of staff you come across greets you and asks you how you are, how is your room, anything they can do etc... Big shout out to Sonu, Alex, Shrijana, Saru, Manisha and Hermae in the Mezzerie who all made me feel very welcome... Khakid at the beach who was very friendly and always took care of me... Special shout out to Sonu and Manisha who served me at breakfast and dinner... I loved chatting to you, thank you for looking after me... Sai out front greeting me from the start and showing me to my room, helping me with free shuttle buses, your service is first class, If I had to find something negative to say about this hotel it would be that most dishes and deserts at dinner would contain nuts, being a nut allergy sufferer I found the selection very small... Loved all the little free gestures around the beach, free water, ice lollies, cold face towels and the lovely smoothie shots...

    ...The Waldorf Astoria truly exceeded all our expectations! We stayed here for seven days for a family holiday and had a fantastic time!... The hotel building is classically beautiful, both in its interior and its exterior, and the pool area and beach is tranquille, cozy and has all the amenities you could ask for... A good advice is to try to get hold of one of the cabanes by the pool for sunbathing and relaxation, but the regular sun beads are of course fine as well... The beach has very nice fine sand and the kids loved the floating bridge that you could swim to and jump into the water from... Our room (big and spacious and with enough area to accommodate our family of four without any problem) was beautiful and very tastefully decorated, including a delightful bathroom... We had a great view directly towards Burj al Arab and Burj Khalifa from our windows and balconies... The staff was overall tremendously friendly and attentive and walks the extra mile for their guests...

We especially liked that Pearl Club was allocated to the 5th floor of the hotel and could only be accessed by Pearl Club guests... The Pearl Club lounge staff remembered everything we liked, and always greeted us as friends... As we travelled without children, we especially appreciated the adult only pool and the Pearl Club lounge being restricted to guests over 12 years of age after 5pm... The food was better than other hotels in Dubai, and we loved the lotions and products in the bathrooms... We would definitely recommend this hotel and will return next year...

    ...I was on a Half board but was only allowed to use the buffet rest restaurant, which was good, but expect to pay £150 per head on top for any of the others... A beer round the pool lunch tine £12 a pint, and Burger and Chips about £35... In addition, at the weekend they have various Ex-Pat clubs that get cheap access to the pool, so very busy with non-residents...

    ...This is my 2nd time at this hotel and had a wonderful time... Customer service seems to be high on the agenda, every member of staff you come across greets you and asks you how you are, how is your room, anything they can do etc... Big shout out to Sonu, Alex, Shrijana, Saru, Manisha and Hermae in the Mezzerie who all made me feel very welcome... Khakid at the beach who was very friendly and always took care of me... Special shout out to Sonu and Manisha who served me at breakfast and dinner... Loved all the little free gestures around the beach, free water, ice lollies, cold face towels and the lovely smoothie shots...

    ...The breakfast buffet is high quality. We enjoyed our time at the beach on comfortable lounge chairs... The staff would sometimes give you popsicles or other little treats while at the beach...

    ...The service was excellent - from reception to restaurants, pool staff, concierge and room attendants. They were always very helpful and asking us if we need anything or if they could help in any way... We were on half board basis with one alcoholic drink pp and had the option to dine at Social and Lao... The staff at Lao were really friendly and accommodating... Highly recommend a visit to Lao...

    We are still on a 11 night holiday at this luxurious hotel, the hospitality has been exceptional from arriving the reception staff and the restaurants staff could not do enough for us... We visited the family pool most days and although all the staff are polite and attentive we have to give Borzo a special mention he recognised us as soon as we arrived at the pool and brought us clean towels and fresh water throughout the day, nothing was to much trouble for him especially in the 40 degree heat, he is certainly an asset to the Waldorf Astoria... Hopefully we’ll return to this lovely hotel in the near future...

    ...We stayed in a Pearl Club room which was worth it as the views from the lounge where fantastic in the morning. The afternoon tea and breakfast was amazing... There are two pools, a kids pool and an adults pool, which was very handy when you just want to relax by the pool without having screaming kids right next to you... All the staff on the beach were very helpful and polite!...

I had a fantastic experience at Waldorf Astoria Thank to Ms, Nica. She was not only organized and efficient but also took the time to ensure we were comfortable and seated in a location that suited our preferences. Kudos to her. She managed a busy evening with grace and professionalism. She made sure everyone felt valued and worked tirelessly to accommodate guests. Her dedication to customer service truly stood out.

This hotel never disappoints which is why we keep returning - this was our fifth time. Familiar faces on arrival who recognised us from our previous visits - they really looked after us. This hotel is like a home from home for us. The hotel itself is classy and facilities are just what we need. We received 5 star treatment throughout our stay. Location - the hotel is on the Palm and after spending some time near JBR I’m so pleased we continue staying at this hotel. It’s away from the madness and allows you to retreat to a calm relaxing environment. We could quite easily not leave the hotel but nevertheless we did to meet friends. We ordered Uber taxis and they are so reasonable. Reception - warm welcome with a cold towel, welcome drink, thorough explanation of the facilities and a big smile. Pearl Club Room - the most amazingly comfortable bed and Bathrobes. The complimentary toiletries by Aesop were amazing. The room was spacious, clean and had a fabulous view. Housekeeping did a fabulous job cleaning the room - twice a day which was very much appreciated. Pearl Club Genuine VIP treatment from all staff which is why we always select this option in addition to our room. The food and drinks options are fantastic. The staff, including the chefs, go above and beyond in Pearl Club. The canapés are delicious and the breakfast offerings are fantastic - the pastries in particular are delicious. The whole lounge deserves recognition but a few people we’d love to mention who really are amazing and looked after us: Sagar, Mercy, Evelyn, Saba, Jennifer and Umesh. Thank you for everything, you’re all very special to us. Poolside Every day all staff looked after us. There were days the staff would, unprompted, set up the same loungers for us each day! This was unexpected and we were very grateful. Cold towels, sunglasses cleaned, a hose down with ice cold water fragranced with Jasmine and regular top ups of ice cold drinking water - made our pool visits special and comfortable. Palm avenue staff were always on hand if you required food - which is delicious. One observation is the staff run about so much I’m not sure how they do it in that heat - and they’re always smiling and ready to help. A few people who really looked after us we’d like to mention: Perara, Thomas, Sasi, Donesh and Sagar. Thank you so much for everything. LAO The food here is exceptional, as is the service. We ate here three times during our stay. Eshan provided fabulous service and really looked after us - thank you. Eshan asked for a picture with us one evening then on our last night, placed a card on our table with our picture on it along with a thank you from all the staff - so lovely. All the staff are fantastic, including the chefs. Mezzerie The restaurant has a different theme night every night - we tried each one as we stayed for 2 weeks, it never disappoints. The Head Chef remembered us from our previous visits and was always keen to ensure we liked the food. He’d always make a point of saying hello. If you wanted something they didn’t have they will do their best to ensure you’re accommodated. The dessert station is fabulous. Gym The gym is excellent and has all the equipment you need for a great workout. Fabulous view from the treadmills of the Burj Al Arab. Thank you to everyone for looking after us and for making our stay so memorable, you’re all amazing. ❤️

"Enjoyed a fantastic stay at this hotel. The staff were exceptionally welcoming and helpful, especially Dinesh and Salil in adult pool, and our room was both clean, spacious and comfortable. Great amenities like the sea and on-site dining added to the experience. Highly recommend for a pleasant and relaxing stay!"

We stayed at the Waldorf Astoria for one week and enjoyed our stay. Nevertheless, the hotel did not quite live up to our expectations. On the positive side, the property overall is nice and in good conditions. Also, our room was very spacious, well equipped and nicely furnished. We were a bit disappointed by the beach, which was quite narrow and did not offer the soft sand which we expected. Also, the choices at breakfast did not live up to the standards of a luxury hotel. Service was very good and employees were very friendly. I would like to especially mention Shon, the doorman, who always welcomed us warmly to the hotel and had great recommendations for activities and restaurants. Gayan and Waruna offered great service at breakfast, especially caring for our one-year old. And Borjo at the pool always ensured we had a nice and shady place and cool water. Overall, the stay was enjoyable, but did not exceed our expectations for a hotel of this category.

The Waldorf Astoria Dubai is an amazing hotel and resort for your stay in Dubai. From our first communication long before we arrived to our last minutes at the hotel, the hotel staff provided world-class service. First, the facilities are beautiful. Everything looks and feels brand new with a clean modern and elegant feel. The lobby is spacious and a great place to meet friends, family, or your upcoming tour guide. Our room was spacious with a superb sea view, cleaned daily and stocked with plenty of water and coffee. The balcony is an ideal spot to sit in the morning or late in the evening as you unwind from the day (smoking is permitted!). The hotel has a beautiful pool area and a beach area, both outfitted with comfortable chairs and attentive staff. The beach is exceptionally clean and suitable for walks in the evening. Onto the food at the hotel. While we didn't eat a formal dinner in any of the restaurants (simply because we were always out), we did eat breakfast in one of the restaurants every day as well as visiting the lounge for snacks throughout the day. The Pearl Lounge on the 5th floor always had wonderful treats to eat with both indoor and outdoor seating, and the bar on the ground level makes a fabulous Old Fashioned. The morning breakfast in the restaurant on the lower level had so many options for food and seating and we looked forward to starting our day there. The staff at the Waldorf Astoria Dubai is exceptional. They anticipated our needs and we could not want for anything. I'd like to give a special mention to Sheena in the Pearl Lounge who greeted us every day and helped us with our excursions. Another outstanding staff member is Ahmed at the travel desk who worked late at night to set up a trip for us for the next day. I wish I could remember everyone's names because everyone treated us very well. To balance all the wonderful things, we did have a few minor issues. The hair dryer in the room cannot be used in the bathroom or the bedroom- only in the closet area (for safety reasons). We did have some trouble with the air conditioning, in that we couldn't quite set it to have a low fan setting at night (my fault according to my wife). The toiletry bottles all look the same, making it confusing trying to select a shampoo versus hand soap. And the bathrobes were super thick for the weather. The greatest compliment I can say for the Waldorf Astoria Dubai is that we will stay here again without hesitation.

Our family’s extensive travels led us to discover one of the finest hotels, situated on the palm with outstanding facilities. Noteworthy features include a well-equipped gym, diverse restaurant options, and rooms with delightful balconies. Special gems like Sunset 55, offering a beachside relaxation and dining experience, Serafina Lounge with a unique speakeasy vibe, and the Pearl Club (executive lounge) further enriched our stay. However, what truly set this experience apart was the exceptional staff. Their courtesy, professionalism, and patience left a lasting impression. Personalized touches like addressing us by name daily, attentiveness to our needs, and a delightful surprise room decoration with a cake for our anniversary reflected their dedication. The concierge and trip desk further enhanced our stay with valuable recommendations for restaurants and tours. Undoubtedly, this has been one of our best stays ever, and we eagerly anticipate a return visit to recreate this exceptional experience.

We have just come back from 8 nights at Waldorf Astoria and we had the most incredible stay. Everything was a 10 out of 10 and I could not recommend it enough. From their customer service, to all the staff, to the food, to all the facilities everything was just perfect and our stay was made extra special with everything they had done for us. Our room was so beautiful and the view was just amazing. We want to say an extra special thank you to Borzo, Shenel and Dinesh by the pool and Aliya, Eshan at Lao for making our stay so amazing. We can't wait to come back next year. Thank you so much again for everything.
