Crescent Road Palm Jumeirah, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. (show on map)

Expert reviews

CN Traveler review:

“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.

Forbes review:

“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.”

Wonderful

Everything was top-notch, we loved the breakfasts. My wife went to the spa and I went to the gym. There were no unwanted odors, and it was always neat and clean. Every day after cleaning the room there were some mini gifts in the form of perfume or melatonin sprays for sleep, my wife really liked it.

Unfortunately, the music only turns off at 12 midnight, and the fountain also ends at 12:05, but in any case, it's better than in other hotels, especially the good soundproofed windows.

Lux but busy

Beautiful. Restaurants are good. Love that they have stores like Dolce & Gabbana on the floor. Honestly, you have to experience Atlantis the Royal

Discovered that I’m more of a boutique hotel person. If you don’t like noise, traffic, not for you. But one thing for sure , if you’ll visit Dubai, The Royal is a must. Breakfast staff is a bit rude? Maybe a bit too overstimulated. Theres so many people there. Can’t fault it but if you’d rather have privacy and a bit of quiet , definitely not.

Amazing hotel

eally amazing hotel. Not my first stay, but it’s always an experience. It’s the kind of hotel you choose only if you’re planning to spend your entire time on the property. Plenty of things to do, an astonishing level of luxury, and everything is maintained to the highest standards.

We had a minor issue where they misplaced our luggage when we checked in, it got solved, but felt like they are all over the place and multiple people contacted us to solve this issue...

Best to experience this through restaurants and a visit to the hotel rather than staying here.

A beautiful hotel with room for improvement in service organisation.

Amazing hotel with great facilities. We had a wonderful holiday.

A few things could be improved. The check-in process was very slow — it took around 45 minutes to reach our room. There were many repeated questions, some of our booking details were lost, and the staff often forgot our requests. Everyone was very polite, but not always responsive: they would promise to follow up, but nothing happened.

Very good

The hotel was so chic and clean and beautifully decorated. The fitness centre was exceptional and the breakfast buffet was excellent. The outdoor areas were breathtaking and the staff were friendly. Our room with the sea view exceeded our expectations so as a whole, we had a lovely time during our stay. The vibe and energy of the hotel is WOW. Such luxury and great energy in general and staff walking around the hotel were always happy to help. My husband and I were celebrating our wedding anniversary there so the staff at the hotel and restaurants were kind enough to offer us little gestures as a congratulations - that was really nice of them.

A few things come to mind: 1. For a 5 star hotel, I was disappointed to see the staff dressed poorly. Their uniforms don’t match the price point of the hotel. The look and feel of their uniforms should be a lot more luxurious and each person’s outfit should fit them very well. This applies to the hotel staff and to the restaurant staff too. There should be guidelines on how the hair and makeup should be done and which shoes should be worn and how clean the shoes must remain. It was disappointing looking at the staff with worn out uniforms and dirty shoes. 2. Being a hotel guest and paying so much per night should come with its advantages. Meaning there should be an easier way to get sun beds or restaurant reservations without stress or being put on a waiting list. Also, I understand that the restaurants are mostly independent and not part of the hotel, but it would be great as a hotel guest to get a 20-25% discount on all dining experiences, especially that we’re paying a lot to stay there. 3. The service at the Nobu pool was not really impressive. Service was slow and the staff weren’t as “on it” as they should be. Again, if this was a regular hotel, I wouldn’t have much to say. But being a massive, ultra luxurious hotel, I would expect a little more. In general the service was FINE and some of the staff members were great but it could be better.

A Beautiful Hotel with Great Potential

I have stayed here several times, and it remains one of the most striking and beautiful hotels in Dubai. The property definitely has a wow-effect, with plenty of F&B options that I recommend everyone to try and form their own opinion. The rooms are excellent, the atmosphere is impressive, and overall it’s a solid, high-quality hotel. I will keep returning — the hotel has huge potential and can certainly become even better. It is definitely a place I can confidently recommend to guests

These are not complaints, more like areas for improvement. The check-in and check-out process has become noticeably disorganized compared to my previous stays. Sometimes there are only 1–2 staff members at the desk, and then suddenly 5–6 appear — with no clear coordination. With many guests arriving, it’s unclear which queue you should join or which counter you should approach. The same happened during check-out: I waited around 10 minutes with only one staff member available, and during that time more guests lined up behind me. The overall flow feels unmanaged, with too many counters and no clear queue structure, which creates confusion during busy periods. The service has also become slightly weaker compared to my previous stays — this is subjective, but it feels as if the team is a bit tired and operating on autopilot. Everyone is polite, yet there is no real sense of welcome or proactive hospitality. The hotel seems to be running at full occupancy, and there isn’t a feeling of strong managerial presence coordinating guest flow. This shows up in small moments: for example, at breakfast the host may offer water, but then no one follows up for quite some time, and you need to actively approach staff yourself. Overall, everything is fine, but the level of attention and organization feels noticeably lower than before. During peak occupancy the hotel feels extremely crowded, and it creates the impression that in all bars and restaurants there is no priority for in-house guests. In many other hotels, guests staying on property receive at least some reservation preference or shorter waiting times. Here, even as a hotel guest, both bars had over an hour of waiting time just to get a table, with no visible system to accommodate in-house guests first. The WhatsApp concierge service is also inconsistent: sometimes replies are quick, but in other cases—like when I asked to check if a table in the bar had become available—there was no follow-up at all.

Hotel is great!!! We have family suite with access to royal lounge- the room, food, facilities, territory are gorgeous. The pool area is also fantastic. But the most memorable was the people we met there. First of all we would like to pass our biggest appreciation to Cristy Olarte and Ahmed Monus from Royal Lounge for taking care about us all the stay. You, guys, made our stay unforgettable!!!!❤️❤️❤️Also the biggest hug and appreciation we would like to pass to Mr. Yossuf (team leader of Gastronomy Restaurant) for your kindness, the highest level of hospitality and respect🙏🙏🙏. Every single time when we come to the restaurant we ask to sit the table under the responsibility of this wonderful and very professional person! For sure we will come back to this wonderful place next time!
