Reviews and Ratings

Reviews from guests about their experience.

Jayden

United Kingdom, March 2025

7.0/10

My stay at the Royal Central Hotel and Resort The Palm was overall enjoyable, marked by spacious accommodations and friendly staff. However, I did encounter issues with the breakfast quality and pool service that could use improvement. The hotel's location is prime, right on The Palm, offering stunning views and relaxing beach access. Besides a few hiccups, I appreciated the attentive service from staff like Emanuel and Shankar, which elevated my experience.

Rooms

8.0

I was impressed with the spacious room and the fantastic partial view of the Burj Al Arab I had. The amenities were abundant, and I appreciated the little balcony for my morning coffee. However, I noticed some cleaning issues that needed addressing, though the staff was quick to upgrade me after I raised my concerns.

Service

8.0

The service was generally attentive and friendly, especially from the concierge Emanuel, who welcomed me warmly upon arrival. But there were some delays in poolside service that left me waiting longer than expected.

Location

8.0

Situated on The Palm, the location is fantastic, allowing me to enjoy the sea breeze all day. However, I found it a bit distant from restaurants and major attractions, requiring a taxi for most outings.

Dining

6.0

Breakfast was a letdown; the options were plentiful but the quality of the coffee and juices was disappointing. I expected better given the reputation of the hotel. The main dining experience was good overall, with accommodating staff, but the breakfast certainly needs improvement.

Facilities

7.0

The beach and pool facilities were nice, with a clean beachfront. However, the service around the pool could use more staff for quicker service. It feels like they could do even better considering the hotel's stature.

United Kingdom, January 2025

6.6/10

My stay at the Royal Central Hotel and Resort was mostly enjoyable, with very clean rooms and great staff. However, the hotel is quite far from downtown Dubai, and the location can make travel expensive. I loved the pool and beach access, but some amenities could use improvement.

Rooms

7.0

The rooms were very clean and well-maintained, thanks to the efficient housekeeping team. I particularly appreciated the hot chocolate provided, which was a nice touch. However, the space was somewhat small for more than two people, making it difficult to store extra luggage.

Service

9.0

The staff were genuinely friendly and always eager to assist. Special thanks to the housekeeping and lifeguard teams who made our experience nice. Their attention to detail and willingness to help was commendable.

Location

6.0

Situated at the end of Palm Jumeirah, the hotel offers beautiful views, but it made commuting a challenge. A taxi ride to downtown Dubai took about 30 minutes and could add up in cost. It's a decent spot for nearby attractions like Atlantis but less convenient for exploring the city.

Dining

6.0

Breakfast was decent, featuring a range of options like eggs, pancakes, and waffles. Though it was convenient, the quality of produce could use some improvement to match the hotel's five-star rating. The prices for drinks by the pool felt steep to me.

Facilities

7.0

The pool area was fantastic, with a stunning view and a nice bar serving decent food. However, the sunbeds were often reserved, making it difficult to find seating during busy times. The hotel's shuttle service was a big plus, though it could be expanded in its destinations.

Olivia

United Kingdom, December 2024

6.6/10

My stay at Royal Central Hotel and Resort The Palm had its highs and lows. On the plus side, the location offered stunning sea views, and the staff was generally friendly and helpful. However, I faced several issues, from the cleanliness of the pool area to the limited dining options, which made it feel overpriced for what was offered.

Rooms

6.0

My room had a lovely sea view, but it was smaller than expected and somewhat dusty. Despite paying extra for a suite, I still felt it fell short of true luxury.

Service

5.0

While some staff members were friendly and helpful, others struggled with English, and this impacted the overall service quality. I often found myself frustrated when trying to get simple assistance.

Location

6.0

The hotel's location on The Palm is beautiful, but it's quite isolated. Traveling to central Dubai requires a taxi, which adds to the overall cost of the stay.

Dining

5.0

Dining options were limited and didn't live up to my expectations for a 5-star hotel. The breakfast was decent, but there just weren't many restaurants available on-site.

Facilities

5.0

The pool area felt small and lacked charm, needing a fresh upgrade. The outdoor amenities overall did not match what I expect from a hotel of this caliber.

United Kingdom, December 2024

7.4/10

I recently stayed at Royal Central Hotel and Resort The Palm for a short vacation and found the experience quite enjoyable yet mixed. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, which made my stay more pleasant, but the hotel itself felt a bit outdated and in need of maintenance. While the breakfast and dinner buffets offered a decent variety, the drink prices were noticeably high. Overall, if you're able to book a stay during the discounted summer rates, it's a good deal, but I'm not sure I would pay full price for the experience.

Rooms

6.0

The room was nice and clean, but the balcony could use some cleaning and maintenance. Overall, it was comfortable and met my needs.

Service

Location

6.0

The hotel is located at the end of the Palm, which made it a bit tricky to get to central areas of Dubai. It's great for relaxing on the beach but requires planning for outings.

Dining

6.0

The breakfast was good with lots of options, though I wasn't a fan of the dinner buffet. Drinks were quite pricey, which was disappointing.

Facilities

6.0

The hotel had various amenities including multiple pools and a gym, but I found the entertainment options lacking in the evenings.

Fraser

United Kingdom, November 2024

6.8/10

My stay at Royal Central Hotel And Resort The Palm was quite mixed. While I appreciated the friendly and supportive service from most staff, the all-inclusive dining experience left much to be desired. The beach access was fantastic, but the room amenities and overall cleanliness could use improvement.

Rooms

5.0

I stayed in a room on the 5th floor with wonderful sea views, but it had a strange odour from the AC and the bathroom was cramped. There was no minibar or sufficient space for my belongings, which was disappointing.

Service

5.0

The staff were generally friendly and attentive, especially during check-in. However, when I raised issues, the reception's responses were less than accommodating, which could definitely be improved.

Location

5.0

The hotel is located in a quieter area with great beach access, but it felt somewhat far from the city, leading to higher taxi fares. The views are beautiful though!

Dining

5.0

The all-inclusive dining was quite limited, lacking variety, and the food quality was average at best. I often felt I had paid a premium for options that didn't meet my expectations.

Facilities

5.0

The pool was nice and the beach setup is pleasant, but the limited amenities in the room, like the absence of a minibar, really fell short. Plus, the crowded dining spaces were not ideal.
