Our entire stay was nothing short of amazing, and we truly enjoyed every moment from the time we checked in until our departure. The room was well-prepared, comfortable, and maintained to a very high standard by the housekeeping team, who ensured everything was spotless and welcoming throughout our stay. What really stood out, however, was the exceptional service and hospitality we received from the staff. Ajay at the front office was an absolute star – always approachable, polite, and extremely helpful. He went above and beyond to make sure our needs were met and guided us with genuine care whenever we required assistance. His professionalism and warm attitude made a lasting impression on us. Equally, we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Simran and Priya in the kitchen, who made our dining experience truly delightful. They not only ensured that the food was excellent but also added a personal touch with their kindness and attentiveness. Every interaction with them made us feel valued as guests, and their efforts made our mealtimes so enjoyable. Overall, the combination of excellent facilities and outstanding staff made this stay one of the most memorable experiences we’ve had. We sincerely appreciate the dedication and hard work of the entire team, and we will definitely be recommending this property to friends and family. Without a doubt, we look forward to returning in the future.

A little bit disappointing. Ha ve visited the hotel sever times for a quiet night away. Unfortunately at the moment there are 3 different areas in the hotel grounds which are undergoing some construction work, which is not great when you are hearing construction traffic while sitting on your balcony and at 8am when they are pouring concrete. Finally the music being played at the lower pool might not be to everybody's taste. Staff are friend and helpful, everything is nice and clean but not a place for a quiet couple of nights.

Deira Dubai|9.45km from city centre
This front desk staff member named Shafali is, without a doubt, the worst I have ever encountered in all my travels. When we first handed her our passports, she was flirting with a male security guard and chatting with her male colleague, showing a dismissive attitude throughout the entire interaction. There was no greeting, no polite language—she only spoke in single words like ”passport” and ”second passport,” which came across as highly unprofessional. When we requested a second key card, she outright refused without any explanation. What made it even more frustrating was that I had clearly stated ”two separate beds, please” in the special requests on Trip, but upon entering the room, we found it was a double bed. She hadn’t even bothered to confirm my request! In the end, we had to ask the housekeeping staff to convert the double bed into two single beds on the spot. After a long and tiring journey, we had to wait another 20 to 30 minutes for the housekeeping staff to make the bed, which was a complete waste of time. Since she refused to provide a second key card, we had to go back downstairs to ask a male front desk staff member for an additional one, further wasting our time. In contrast, the housekeeping staff on the sixth floor and the security guards downstairs were very friendly and provided excellent service. However, the hotel facilities are quite outdated, and there was a strong unpleasant smell near the elevator exit. The breakfast options were limited and not particularly tasty. On the positive side, the hotel is conveniently located near the light rail station and the airport, making it a suitable choice for travelers catching flights.

Had to spend half day at the check in desk. Had several issues. The hotel is old, with outdated furniture. From a positive side, the rooms are large and with breathtaking views, if you have high category rooms. The dinner was horrible, Supper rich selection, however everything tasteless.

Third time in this hotel and probably this will be the last... a disaster. First for all ALL members please consider if u book with Third part here they will not only not give u reward points as normal, but they will neither consider your status... or maybe like in my case even worse... and price is so different on accor system that probably they consider your status a burden and charge an higher price to handle you. Than to the stay problems... My room was not ready till after 4, I had a meeting schedule for 3 and hoped to be able to drop the luggage before... but impossible and I had to change myself in the spa. Please note I sent a mail 1 week before requesting a 1h early check in and even my all accor status (platinum) In the room there was and issue with the tv. I call and they fix it. Second day if my stay when I back at 4 my room was not set up, I had to call 3 times to get it done, but again not something should be done The room is spacious even if old and tired. Hotwater at 7.30am require some minute to arrive. Consider if you are placed on a low floor you will feel the huge noisy bars and club behind you, that will keep you awake till about 1am Breakfast is ok, with an extensive range if food and good quality. Staff is super kind and helpful, but they cannot do nothing, basically to every complain i did they simply answer with an apoligy and nothing change... so clearly a problem in the management procedure. My conclusion is: even if u get a great deal on trip.com, and definitely is still better book here than the hotel booking system as around 30% cheaper, there are so many better option in the same price and standard range.

Anatara The Palm is perfect as a family resort. It's location isn't the most accessible (as it is towards the end of the Palm) but isn't it the purpose? The hotel has excellent staff training offering very attentive and friendly service, plus facilities for everyone in the family. The F&B is great offering Asian, Steakhouse, and International proper dining cuisines, plus pool side and beach side bar/cafe and restaurant too. The sports centre is also great offering a wide variety of activities for adults and kids. The hotel also has free shuttle bus service to/from the Emirates shopping mall (closest mall to the Palm) which ride will take about 20-25min. Thumbs up!

My stay at the Address Sky View was nothing short of unforgettable. Located in the heart of Dubai, this luxury 5-star hotel boasts a breathtaking view of the iconic Burj Khalifa, which stands majestically before the infinity pool, creating a dreamlike setting. The rooms are the epitome of luxury: spacious, tastefully decorated, and featuring large windows that offer spectacular views of Dubai's skyline and the Burj Khalifa. Every detail is meticulously crafted, from the elegant and modern design to the top-tier amenities. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the bathroom, with its panoramic bathtub, was the perfect place to relax and take in the city's beauty. The infinity pool at Address Sky View is the hotel's true highlight: directly facing the Burj Khalifa, it's the ideal spot to unwind, swim, or simply enjoy a drink while watching the sun set over the city. The poolside service is impeccable, with attentive and courteous staff who ensure that every need is met. The breakfast and restaurants at Address Sky View are of exceptional quality, offering an incredible variety of dishes from around the world, prepared with the freshest and finest ingredients. Every meal was a sensory journey, accompanied by flawless service. In summary, Address Sky View represents the pinnacle of luxury and exclusivity. It’s perfect for anyone seeking an unforgettable experience in Dubai, with unparalleled views of the Burj Khalifa, a dreamlike pool, and exceptional service. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a truly magical stay!
