Atlantis The Royal, Dubai
Expert reviews
“Any retreat that bills itself as “the most ultra-luxury experiential resort in the world” is not going for subtlety – but here, that’s very much the point. Sitting alongside its famous sister, Atlantis the Palm, on Dubai’s iconic Palm Jumeirah, Atlantis the Royal’s eye-catching curves contain 795 rooms, suites, and penthouses, 17 restaurants and bars, a 1.2-mile beach, and more than 90 pools.”
Featured in CN Traveler’s Hotlist 2023.
“The resort goes over the top on everything. Inside the smooth white marble interiors, choose among 17 restaurants from top-tier chefs like Heston Blumenthal and José Andrés along with five nightlife venues. More than 90 swimming pools dot the grounds.”

Amazing hotel! Room for improvement in service around the resort.
Amazing rooms and hotel facilities. Gastronomy was great for breakfast and dinner
Service could be improved. Breakfast seating system is flawed and waiter service detoriates when it gets busy. Our table had been given away at breastfeeding to someone else while we were getting our food. Coffee and tea order took an hour to come to the table...and even then it was the wrong tea order.

An incredible long Eid weekend at an iconic location.
It is the most beautiful hotel- it smells amazing and the facilities and comfort are incredible. The staff were also exceptional and clearly fabulously trained.
Breakfast was a little haphazard- pick where you sit wisely!

Best staycation ever!
Absolutely everything! They’ve even allowed us to go to the waterpark two days, even though we stayed 1 night only. Loved dinner at Gastronomy, variety of the food is exceptional had to extend our stomach to try bits of everything. Views are spectacular, beds are very comfortable. Definitely recommend!
Nothing, as everything is well managed!

Hotel is truly amazing.
The receptionist was amazing and truly professional. She made our stay comfortable from the first minutes. Unfortunately we don’t know her name, but I bet she’s from India or maybe Pakistan. So we really appreciate her service. Our stay was wonderful.
Unfortunately we didn’t received at room some greeting fruits and Atlantis the Royal shaped cake. We really were excited to try it, but for some reasons we didn’t got any.

The most comfortable, wholesome and elevated hotel experience.
It was the entire experience - from management and concierge to housekeeping and the pool guest experience team that made our stay so extremely positive and memorable. The staff truly exceed our expectations for our stay, constantly going above and beyond to ensure our comfort, peace and enjoyment. We cannot express how much we appreciate the efforts and service we received from each and every person at Atlantis The Royal. The buffet breakfast was also the best of any we have had.
Nothing - we loved it all.

Fabulous
high level of service, flexible approach to problem solving
1. Upon check-in, we received very little information about the restaurants included in the stay, the hotel's benefits, and the opportunities we could take advantage of, especially the Royal Club benefits. 2. It's not comfortable to have breakfast on the terrace because of the birds. We were at another hotel, where they invited falconer with falcon and there was no such problem.

Structured Appetite
Amenities and staff service Shops and Ambiance
Food stations are too wide apart to get food, you have to run around to get a full plate to eat. It would be nice to section the stations on the type of food...e.g Meat,Vegetables and starch to make it easy.

Amazing journey!
The breakfast was very varied and of excellent quality. The location is slightly outside the city center. But it's nice to find peace and quiet after a hectic day or evening at the mall or nightclubs.
It would be nice if the hotel could organize a free shuttle to the Dubai Mall or the city center.

Amazing stay and would absolutely love to come back
The hotel is one of the best I have ever stayed at in my life. It is incredibly luxurious, exceptionally clean, and the staff is wonderful. You can truly see that every small detail was thoughtfully considered. The team responded to every request with care and professionalism. The service was outstanding — everything was simply perfect. The pool is beautiful and very pleasant, the beach is absolutely stunning, and the breakfast is excellent
Our room was facing the road, and there was some noise from motorcycles and honking at night, even though the windows were closed. In addition, the food and beverage prices are quite high — similar to most luxury hotels in Dubai.

Amazing experience
It is super luxurious, wth hi standards furnitures and probably the best fitness and sport facilities I have ever seen. Beautiful building with many restaurants for various budgets. We had a very good price.
It is far from the city, can take you 1 hour to go to DIFC. The breakfast is very good but you expect better. YOu make yourself your eggs benedict.
