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.”

Amazing experience
I had a great time in this beautiful hotel, staffs were very friendly and helpful specially the receptionist who helped me to check in. Definitely will go back next time when I visit Dubai.
Spa therapist need to have a proper training to understand hygiene and privacy.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Seven-Star Experience at Atlantis The Royal – Dubai
Our stay at Atlantis The Royal has been nothing short of extraordinary. From the very first moment, every detail felt curated to perfection, turning our visit into a truly unforgettable experience. The Concierge team deserves special recognition. Their professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail went far beyond expectations. Every request, every activity, every schedule was handled seamlessly, with genuine care and impeccable follow-up. They didn’t just organize experiences; they elevated them. The in-room dining service was consistently flawless. Punctual, elegant, and delicious, it felt as though fine dining followed us into the privacy of our suite, always exceeding expectations in both quality and presentation. The housekeeping team was equally remarkable. Our room was maintained in pristine condition at all times, with a level of cleanliness, discretion, and attention to detail that reflects true luxury hospitality. It felt less like a hotel service and more like a perfectly choreographed ritual of comfort. Atlantis The Royal is not just a hotel; it is an experience where excellence is a standard, not an exception. A place where every team member contributes to creating moments that stay with you long after you leave. Without hesitation, a seven-star experience in every sense. Thank you for making our time in Dubai truly magical.

Quite simply, it was the best stay we’ve ever experienced.
We couldn’t fault a thing—the room was immaculately maintained, with incredibly prompt turndown service and cleaning whenever we stepped out. The thoughtful and generous honeymoon touches each evening made our stay feel truly special and memorable. Breakfast was an experience in the best possible way with every selection imaginable.
nothing, loved our stay was immaculate and very memorable

Very pricy when the location is so far from the city Therefore it’s not so convenient if a guest needed some medication - the hotel has many many visitors do the lobby area is very crowded and loud.

Bucket list venue for sure.
The ultimate luxury and most sensational setting in Dubai.
One of the main breakfast restaurants had an out of service escalator during breakfast time. Climbing ropes would have been required for elderly guests and there appeared to be a lack of urgency to resolve it. Some of the prime high end restaurants on sight require guests to book well in advance of their stay. This does detract from the experience.

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...

Perfect Interior and exterior, exceptional feeling and great restaurants. Very nice lady at check in. We felt very welcome.
Staff on the pool is poorly available. Not even water is served without asking for it. Poorly clean up. Here’s a lot of space for improvement.
