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.”

Most Incredible hotel - everything was perfect
Hotel is impeccable, restaurants incredible. All staff excellent service. The brunch included with my room was one of the most amazing brunches EVER. They had 15 stations and everything was excellent. Vegan, gluten free, allergy free, fruit, fresh pastries & bread, meats, lox, huge room just with salads and fresh made avocado toast. The edgeless po on 22 Amazing (you do pay for a lounge chair) worth it. Long, Ling was amazing food. View from room and able to see fire & water show. It’s like Vegas on Mega Sterois and less crowded & excellent staff
Nothing, it was hot ( went in July but our choice. Not too hot to enjoy pools.

Fabulous location, service, facilities and buffet breakfast
The breakfast was amazing; so many options and quality ingredients. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the facilities were top notch. Our kids love the waterpark! It is great for cooling off on a very hot day, and easy to access from the hotel. There are adult only pools at the hotel for a quieter option.

🌟 Unforgettable Stay at Atlantis The Royal 🌟
🌟 Unforgettable Stay at Atlantis The Royal 🌟 From the moment I landed in Dubai to the moment I left, everything was executed perfectly. The airport transfer service was seamless and luxurious, setting the tone for an extraordinary stay. The staff at Atlantis The Royal are truly exceptional — warm, attentive, and genuinely committed to delivering the highest level of service. Special thanks to the incredible butlers, who anticipated every need with precision. And a heartfelt mention to the VIP Manager, a kind and professional Turkish lady whose name I sadly forgot — her hospitality made a deep impact on me. This wasn’t just a stay — it was an experience. Atlantis The Royal redefines luxury, and I can’t wait to return. Thank you for the unforgettable memories. 🌴✨

Our stay at Atlantis The Royal was nothing short of extraordinary. From the stunning architecture and luxurious amenitie
“I absolutely loved everything about Atlantis The Royal. The design and architecture are breathtaking — it feels like you’re in a different world. The service was top-tier, staff were very attentive and professional. The infinity pool with the skyline view was definitely a highlight, and the food options were world-class. It’s luxury on another level — truly unforgettable!”
Honestly, there wasn’t much to dislike because the experience was amazing overall. But if I had to mention something, maybe just the price — it’s definitely on the higher end. Also, since it’s a popular destination, some areas can get a bit crowded at peak times. But other than that, everything else was exceptional.”

A memorable stay for my Hubands birthday and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
I had breakfast in the Royal Club Lounge and also in their restaurant it was one of the most lavish breakfast buffets I have ever seen. The hotel is spectacular and loved every minute of our stay would certainly go back to stay there soon.
There was nothing not to like about the hotel and service.

A very beautiful luxurious hotel.
Breakfast was lovely, the decor was amazing.
There were limited options for dinner, no buffet at the hotel. The swimming pool was small and designed for chikdren.

10/10 would recommend.
Service was top notch. Everything you could ever want or need in a beach hotel. Restaurants were fantastic. Real “let us take care of it” attitude about everything. I was really glad I got the The Royal Club benefits with breakfast buffet, happy hour and refreshments. A worker saw me leaving at 11 PM and took my bags down (all the way across the hotel) without me asking. True luxury.
Not really a bad thing but I felt that two visits from staff to the room for cleaning was plenty. I think one day we had 4-5 visits and it was a nice gesture but on a day when we were lounging around a lot I didn’t want to get up and answer the door so many times.

We would like to give a special thank you to Stephen I think this is his name if I am not mistaken , who went above and
Our stay at Atlantis The Royal was truly exceptional! From the moment we arrived, the service was outstanding and exceeded all expectations. The hotel itself is absolutely stunning – every corner is beautifully designed, luxurious, and immaculate. The staff were incredibly friendly, professional, and always ready to help with a smile. Their warmth and attentiveness made our experience even more memorable. Whether it was housekeeping, reception, or restaurant staff, everyone went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable. We truly felt pampered during our stay, and every detail was taken care of with the highest standard of hospitality. Without a doubt, this was one of the best hotel experiences we’ve ever had. Highly recommended – we can’t wait to come back!
definitely nothing!!!!!
