I had a wonderful stay at The Retreat Palm Dubai. The accommodations were comfortable and the staff was friendly, but I felt the dining experience could be improved. The children's amenities were fantastic, making it a great family destination. However, there were a few service inconsistencies that took away from the overall experience.

The hotel is on the Palm, offering a great beachside retreat. While it was a taxi ride away from major attractions, the serene environment was perfect for families, especially with young kids.

The food was generally good and healthy, but I found the options somewhat limited and basic compared to other Dubai hotels. I wish there were more variety, especially with drinks available at meals.

Children's facilities, including a kids' pool and a club, were impressive. However, poolside service could use some improvement, particularly when it comes to getting drinks without issue.

I had a fantastic stay at The Retreat Palm Dubai MGallery by Sofitel, with really good staff and a beautiful location on the Palm. The beach and pool facilities were well-maintained, offering a perfect escape from the city. However, I faced some challenges with room service payments and occasional confusion around the all-inclusive options, which detracted slightly from the overall experience.
Rooms

My room had an really good view and was cleaned impeccably every day. The bed was incredibly comfortable, making for restful nights. However, some rooms overlooked a construction site, which could be distracting.
Service

The staff were very friendly and attentive throughout my stay, ensuring that all my needs were met. That said, I found it inconvenient to pay for room service on the spot rather than charging it to my room.

The hotel is situated on the beautiful Palm Jumeirah, providing a serene atmosphere. However, it was a bit far from major attractions, requiring a good taxi ride to explore Dubai.

The hotel features excellent facilities, including a lovely spa and pools. However, I did find that many wellness services required additional payment, which is something to keep in mind.

My stay at The Retreat Palm Dubai was a mixed bag. The room was spacious and well-equipped, especially after my upgrade to a sea view. However, the dining experiences fell short, with limited food variety and some cleanliness issues. The staff was friendly but at times seemed inattentive, which detracted from the overall experience.
Rooms
7.0
The room I stayed in was large with enough space for my needs and had a beautiful sea view. However, I experienced cleanliness issues, including a bad smell and dirty items upon check-in (not what I expected, especially for a hotel of this caliber).
Service
6.0
Most staff were friendly and accommodating, always greeting me with a smile. But there were moments of inconsistency, particularly in room service and responsiveness to concerns, which left me wanting more attention.
Location
6.0
The location on the Palm Jumeirah was peaceful, ideal for a relaxing getaway. However, it was quite far from major attractions, and I often relied on taxis to explore the city, which was inconvenient at times.
Dining
5.0
Dining options were rather basic, especially dinner, which lacked variety and had a canteen-like vibe. Breakfast had more choices, but overall, the food didn't meet my expectations for a high-end resort.
Facilities
7.0
The pool and beach facilities were nicely maintained, and I enjoyed the beach towels offered. However, the lack of adequate sun loungers at the pool was a downside, as they filled up quickly each day.

My stay at The Retreat Palm Dubai was a beautiful experience overall, with a stunning beach and attentive staff. However, my arrival was marked by a room mix-up that needed addressing, and the location is a bit remote from local attractions. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and excellent amenities.

I initially received a twin room designed for disabled guests, which was not suitable for me. After requesting a change, I was moved to a lovely room with a gorgeous view, albeit with an issue with the bathroom door handle that required maintenance.

While the hotel is a bit far from the main attractions, it has wonderful views and a tranquil setting. However, you should be prepared for a 25-minute taxi ride to places like The Burj Khalifa.

The hotel staff was incredibly accommodating and welcoming, and the cleanliness of the hotel stood out.
