Waldorf-Astoria Palm Jumeirah Hotel, Dubai

Crescent Rd - Dubai, United Arab Emirates (show on map)

Expert reviews

New York Times review:

“Opened in 2014 on Palm Jumeirah island, the 319-room Waldorf-Astoria Dubai Palm Jumeirah is a palatial spread.”

Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Dubai.

Forbes review:

“Combine sophisticated luxury, classic European charm, wonderful service, an acclaimed spa and a gorgeous private beach and you’ve got Waldorf Astoria Dubai Palm Jumeirah — a sensational stay on the city’s most famous archipelago.”

Telegraph review:

“Helicopter tours from the hotel’s helipad and water bed recliners in the spa hint at the opulence at this palatial pile. Views from Palm Jumeirah stretch as far as Burj Khalifa in Downtown Dubai on a clear day. Soak them up from the seven-mile-long, 20-feet-wide promenade encompassing this tree-shaped island.”

Brilliant, very quiet and peaceful stay with the girls

The hotel was very clean and beautiful. The staff were fantastic to deal with. This is my 3rd stay at the hotel. We had a palm-view room, looking out onto the Atlantis and Atlantis Royal, it was perfect for having a morning coffee on the balcony.

The Waldorf Astoria Dubai Palm Jumeriah is a wonderful property. The rooms are well appointed and spacious. The bed is very comfortable and sitting area is relaxing. The bathroom is what dreams are made of. Bathroom amenities are out of this world (Aesop) & the bathrobe is soooooo soft and comfortable, you wanna stay in it forever. Hotel restaurants, bars, pool, and beach are all well maintained. As an extra bonus, there is an adult's only pool with the spectacular views of Atlantis the Royal that is a refuge. The beach staff also is very attentive and friendly. They spoil you big time - from placing towels on sunbeds, cleaning sunglasses, providing water and cool towels through beach day,…. All the staff is warm, attentive, and incredibly professional. They ensure one is looked after continuously.

Hotel is well maintained, but is starting to need a renovation. Carpets in common areas are a bit old and dusty, wallpapers are old, lighting in corridors are dated and not nice.

Would definitely return , great high standards

Great service , especially pool and beach , room service was 1st class and unseen. Facilities are very good

Maybe some additional restaurants . Lao was great but lots of hotels have several in house restaurants to chose from not just a buffet option. We ate out for the extra variety.

Great resort , a little on the expensive side

Amazing rooms with incredible views Fantastic pool and private beach Good breakfast Best gym I’ve seen at a resort/hotel Excellent staff, especially the team at the front entrance and door , Omar at reception , housekeeping team

A little on the expensive side compared to other resorts in the area, and rooms are a bit over categorised making any subtle room difference unnecessarily expensive Men’s SPA was really small and not attractive to use

Very friendly staff

Very, very friendly staff and a fantastic service. From the entrance to the beach. Special thanks to the breakfast crew shoaib, wasim, kiran, ravindra, bhanu, santhul & jasan. They where so helpful, everytime, espacially in regard of our 1 year old child. The breakfast buffet has everything you can imagine, and a big variation from salty to sweet. The sunset bar in the evening is the perfect place to smoke sisha and having a drink while enjoying the sunset.

there's construction work in the neighbour hood, but you dont realise the noice and it's not disturbing. the jet ski crew offered us to take photos from the boat while we were driving those jet skis. They didnt mentioned a price. Afterwards they wanted 600$ for these pictures. Way too much, a rip-off. The rest was simply perfect, very beautiful hotel.

A great hotel with a small 'but'

The hotel is in a great location. It is definitely a plus that it has its own beach. It is big, yet not overwhelmingly so. Similarly, it is a fancy place that, at the same time, feels quite homey and welcoming.

The staff is kind and helpful; however, they were overbearing at times. It sometimes felt like they were more interested in getting a positive review on Google than about our comfort and privacy.

Everything, it’s a beautiful hotel / resort. You are instantly made to feel very welcome. Warm reception, ALL staff were outstanding. Couldn’t do any more for you. Every single member of staff we had dealings with were exceptional. I came for my 50th birthday and was made to feel like a queen. Well done to all of Waldorf Astoria, we will be back.

Amazing

We had our wedding at Waldorf and many of our friends and family members stayed at the hotel. The staff were super kind and professional and the quality of their service exceeded my expectations. The food is delicious (breakfast, hotels restaurants, etc). The rooms are spacious, and clean, with great views. The amenities are world-class. I would happily go back to Waldorf if I travel to Dubai again.

We had a fantastic stay and would definitely stay there again

The room was very spacious, clean and the decor did not disappoint. We got fresh fruit almost daily in the room. The location is fantastic. Breakfast was great....quite a large spread. The service overall was great. The in-dining team were fantastic (Christopher, Roselyn and the rest of their team). They went out of their way to make my husband's birthday special. Petronella at the breakfast area was great too and the rest of the staff in the hotel was friendly and helpful.

Not much, but as with anything, there is always room for improvement!

Stopover from travelling from New Zealand

The location is good if you want to just recover after a long flight from New Zealand. It has its own beach and chilling by the pool is lovely. The staff are very attentive and provide you with buckets of ice with water to keep you hydrated. The food in the Social restaurant is excellent. The rooms are very comfortable and we had a great view of the waterfront from our balcony. All staff are very helpful and friendly. The breakfast range is superb.

I can't fault this hotel.

Great Food amazing Staff

Staff are amazing. very polite and content. We were upgraded to a wonderful and large 1 bedroom suite. Sagar By the pool was a great man and made our days exiting. restaurant quality was exceptional, Loa had our heart. thank you guys, hope to see u soon.

0-17 are considered children on Booking.com but hotel considers 12+ as adult. so it was quite complicated to have our teens on a kiddy meal.

Luxurious

It’s an excellent hotel and the facilities are great here. The rooms are stunning and bathroom is beautiful. The pool area and the beach are lovely and it’s all kept really well and was super clean. Everyone was extremely friendly. A special mention to Gwen who worked in the Serafina bar. She was one of the best servers we had and her customer service was outstanding. Thanks for making our time so special

The staff in the buffet area and the pool side dinner area were very friendly however they sometimes didn’t seem to understand things we were asking for with ordering drinks. Particularly the breakfast buffet staff. We stayed for 8 nights and every morning they managed to get something wrong with the order. Whether it was bringing over a drink we didn’t order or charging us for the breakfast even though we were half board. Not sure if it was a language barrier but they all spoke English, there just seemed to be constant mistakes and with the price you pay to stay here I expected slightly quicker / better service. This feedback is ONLY for the buffet staff

As usual, things were excellent! This was my third stay at the place. I might surely come back. Now, some special thanks to some special people: 1. Mr. Rahul - The Chief Cook - a wonderful man who was exceptionally nice to us and made all possible to please us 2. Mr. Nadeem (a.k.a. Mr. Shah Rukh Khan) - Friendly, polite, and super nice to us as always! 3. Mr. Santos always had a great beach bed for us. Super accommodative! All the best!

Almost ideal

Very good service and facilities, pleasant overall impression. Everything is up-to the great level of service and comfort.

here I was told that the hotel cannot take deposit from a debit card (which I still cannot explain), therefore I had to separately pay for any services within the hotel, which was a bit of discomfort.
