Low rise on 3 levels so not like the other very high rise hotels nearby. Gives hotel a more homely scale and size. Staff are all fabulous and helpful. Palm view back towards Dubai is a great feature especially at night. Laguna beach bar sun set during happy hour sat in comfortable sofas is a must. Sand on the beach is just perfect specification chosen not to stick lol. Restaurants are expensive but good quality. Free bus into town is 40 mins and picks up at other hotels and only drops off at the big shopping Mall. Taxis quicker for approx Aed 50 or £12 uk you can easily get to Dubai marina and multiple bars and restaurants. This hotel is very relaxed and favoured by families with young children but has adult only areas as well. Birds are a bit of a problem feeding off tables at times. So if you have a Hitchcock phobia, be aware at any hotel this happens on the Palm. On the whole I preferred this 3 floor hotel rather than being in a massive high rise hotel waiting for a lift on floor 25… way more chill and easy.

I almost never leave a review for anything unless it was that incredible or that bad that I feel compelled to do so. Unfortunately, our stay at Sofitel fell into the latter category. Upon check-in, promptly escorted to what I would imagine is the dingiest, least impressive Family Apartment room that the hotel has. Located on the first floor facing the street, it looked like a room that had not been updated or had minor repairs made to it in a decade. We proceeded to upgrade the room (a our cost) to a Junior suite which was only marginally better in decor and upkeep, however, the view was an improvement relative to the room we were coming from. We were not notified of our VIP Platinum benefits at check in, and once we realized what those benefits were, the hotel was unwilling to apply them to the restaurant bill we’d already paid for. The front desk staff lacked professionalism at every interaction. However, I do want to note that the support staff (bellhops, maids, etc.) were all lovely. We stayed at three 5 star hotels during our trip to Dubai, and we travel extensively throughout the year. I can confidently say that this is not in fact a 5 star resort. A fair review would put this closer to a 3.5-4 star report. If you are looking for a cheap stay in Dubai and do not care about the quality of the room, resort or how you are treated, this is the place for you. However, if you are looking for the service and luxury aesthetic typically expected at a 5 star hotel, look elsewhere

Good, but worst that expected for the price

I give 3 instead of 5 because: - I booked for 5 person, but we dont have beds for everyone, then I need to pay for one extra bed (700+), and the mattress is very bad. - there are 2 bathrooms and the hot water is not enough, just 10min of hot water - I payed for half board, but I not informed that I have just 3 adult menu, and the others 2 needs to be kids menu.
