RIXOS THE PALM DUBAI

Dubai ..do your research before you go ..time of year ....can be too hot ..is it Ramadan''' Hotel is all inclusive and the best way to go as drinks can be expensive. Two brandy's costs £50 with a glass of come £5....so going all inclusive saves you a fortune. Beware of visiting during Ramadan as hotel has no entertainment and can be quiet .....No drinks allowed out of the bars with little atmosphere. The hotel staff are excellent and bar staff during the day are brilliant as nothing is too much trouble . Finish one drink and there back with top ups. The swimming pool has a bar which is great for drinking and calling down whilst sat in the pool is great. Lots of palm trees to sit under but get up early to get sun beds. Bar food is good but beware of the birds with sharp beaks! Leave any food on the tables and it's like Hitchcock film the birds swooping down on you ! Hotel rooms excellent make sure you get a balcony as we arrived late and put us in a room without one ..we asked to be moved and after two days they did move us ... What was nice as we arrived late they organised food in our room . The self service buffet restaurant was extremely busy with plenty of choice especially in the evenings ...but found it like a cattle market ...really enjoyed the Italian restaurant...a lot quieter and great service. The beach was far too hot to enjoy even the sea was too hot with a sign saying Beware of Sea Creatures. We did venture out to the city and the shops are fantastic ....be warned don't drink water out in the street as the wife nearly got fined .....also beware of people masquerading as taxi drivers they charge you treble the price. Overall the Hotel was good but Dubia is not my cup of tea.

Rixos means quality, Rixos means good customer experience. I went there for lunch and beach&pool time. The people always smile, everbody is coming to help you without asking anything. I was very happy to live same Rixos experience even in Dubai. It is edge of Palm, Have Burj el Arab view. Sheikh Island is just hundred meters away. From Palm entrance to Rixos takes average 20 minutes (without traffic jam)

I absolutely love this hotel. In fact, I live in Dubai and I had gone there for a one-night staycation. The rooms are so nice and have a homely feel - especially the bathroom and the separate bathtub.The greenery around the hotel is what really makes it feel like a resort. The pool, beach, and all the amenities are just so nice. My only bad review would be about the Italian restaurant I had tried- it was overpriced and not that great. The service was also very slow. Having said that, the manager of the restaurant tried hard to accommodate and was very nice. Otherwise, the hotel and its amenities are just perfect!

The Rixos is our go-to destination in Dubai - we have now stayed there 3 times. A very nice full service resort, with big comfortable rooms (some of the nicest bathrooms I've seen anywhere), a great poolside area with in-pool bar, and excellent dining. Breakfast buffet is excellent. Highly recommended.

Fantastic facilities, exceptional service from the staff, the food quality and choice was amazing - Italian Restaurant was 5 stars fine dining, really recommend if you want to try an extraordinary meals; buffet restaurant for breakfast /lunch/dinner full of choice, great presentation, freshly made food, variety changes daily; outside pool bar and sea food restaurant also provided fantastic quality of food & drinks ! This has been the best hotel we have ever stayed! Friendly, helpful and very warm welcome! Clean and spacious,modern rooms! Great kids facilities and entertainment! We can rate our stay as a top 5 stars , very happy and would love to come back! Staff Can Do attitude played the most important role, all the people are so much service orientated! Thank you for making our stay so pleasant and unique!!!
