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.”

Hotel is fabolous... Management staff is perfect, there are some problems with waitresses and receptionist but as general it is one of the best hotels in the world and anyone at least one time should stay in it...
Attitude of some lower level employees...

An unforgettable luxury escape with breathtaking views, outstanding service, and world-class amenities.
The architecture is stunning, and the luxury experience is unparalleled. The rooms were beautifully designed with breathtaking views, and the service was exceptional. The amenities, including the infinity pools and world-class dining options, were top-notch.
While the experience was amazing, the prices for food and drinks were quite high. Additionally, some areas were quite busy, which made it difficult to fully relax at times.

Top 10 best hotels in the world more than deserved - delivers on all fronts. Mind blowing.
Everything. It’s the best hotel I’ve ever sat foot in. The design is absolutely gorgeous, the details impeccable, the staff friendly and attentive. Cloud 22 has beautiful views and a great atmosphere. Lots of food options. The buffet has 17 live stations.
That there isn’t a single shop that isn’t a designer shop, not even for basics like flip flops. £300 minimum price for basic sandals despite more than a dozen shops in the hotel.

Architecture, luxury, breakfast, water park access.
Beds weren’t very comfortable, lighting controls in the room were confusing and the display was too bright at night.

As a tourist company owner I have inspected all Hotels in UAE, and I was super excited about Atlantis the Royal experience. The service at outside lounge was below zero and check out process as well. Need improvements to call it Royal

Luxurious lifestyle for a perfect holiday
I've been to and stayed at many 5 star hotels, and I can confirm that this is definitely above all those levels in its designs, exceptional customer service, amenities, and luxurious feelings. It is a top-rated hotel that deserves to get a 6 star+ rating. Atlantis The Royal is a high-class living for a perfect holiday. It's a lifestyle.
The limited access to Cloud 22 and Ling-Ling. My son is 17 years old, mature enough not to create a nuisance etc, and my kids had to miss visiting these places only because of his age. I think it would be great to have even for 16 years+ to enter, provided they go with their parents/adult guardians.

Special thanks to Mr Asanka Buddhalankara (Housekeeping manager) and his team (special note to BoBo for being an amazing and a kind supervisor, Thanuja and Tishan also from housekeeping for giving an amazing service) Mr Asanka went out of his way to make the stay amazing. Job well done. And Mr Suren from the Concierge for the warm welcome. Overall amazing
Confirmation number - 4653945124, 4653173645 I had two bookings under my name and the booking 4653945124 (the interconnecting rooms) had an anniversary and I mentioned it when I made the booking but no special arrangements were made for that.

I loved everything about it! The place was super clean, and the luxury and amenities were fantastic. The location was great, and the waterpark was a blast for the kids. They also really enjoyed the kids' club. I especially liked the outdoor hookah seating; it was a nice spot to chill. The food was delicious, and there were plenty of restaurant options.
