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 hotel, one of the best in Dubai.....
Room size, the views, restaurant options, great food, generous breakfast and the beautiful water fountains...
Pools closing early, Dubai is hot and sometimes the kids want to be in the pools till late.

Very good
The hotel is large and beautiful, fully matching its description. The atmosphere is impressive, and the breakfasts were very delicious
The staff responsible for handling guests’ belongings needs better training. When I was checking out, the flowers I took with me after my birthday celebration were treated carelessly and placed as if they were garbage, which caused them to break. This was very upsetting, especially since it was a special day for me. Also, the waiting time for check-in was too long, which created unnecessary discomfort.

Exceptional hotel for short stays
The property and surrounding area were exceptional. The Atlantis royal didn't provide many facilities for kids besides the pools, however we had free access to Atlantis Palm lost chambers / water parks. The breakfast was exceptional with 17 live cooking stations. The free amnesties in the room were also the best I've seen in any hotels.
The infinity pool was only available for adults only (no kids allowed), which didn't work for us. Also it required a reservation and additional costs. However, there were other outdoor pools available for us to use.

Courteous staff, luxurious property and beautiful location..
I asked them that we will be celebrating my wife’s birthday and they confirmed that they will send a cake but nothing ever came..

Overall it’s an amazing hotel
Aesthetically, it is a beautiful hotel. Very luxurious, the room was absolutely stunning and the complementary cake they placed in the room for my son’s exam results was very much appreciated and delicious. As it was low season certain restaurants were closed but we were fully aware of that prior. As much as they do allow children in the hotel, it’s definitely better suited towards adults as we initially thought we could use the restaurants on the half board package over at Atlantis the palm too, but this was not the case so dining was very restricted in the Royal with children. I would definitely return but probably just as a couple next time.
Certain restaurants do not allow under 21 in after 6:30 pm which was a little disappointing especially as my son is 18 so technically an adult. On most mornings, we were shown to an uncleared/dirty table and asked to begin getting breakfast while staff reset them. I would have preferred to wait for a clean table, as this practice felt very unappetising, even if intended to keep the queue moving.

Cleanliness and the availability of high end stores
The security deposit isn’t a problem but receiving it back by how the customer wants Shd be taken into consideration next time .

An amazing hotel
The breakfast was amazing. The staff were very friendly & happy to assist. The rooms were spacious and were well thought out regarding the aesthetics etc. we were blown away when we first walked into our room! An amazing hotel with plenty to offer.
The bath towels in the room were thin. Would have been nice to have a bag/basket in the room that could be taken to the pool or water park. I felt the prices regarding food and beverages were crazy!

Overall we loved our stay & can’t wait to come back next year again
The attention to detail on service and caring for the comfort of the guests
When I requested for a delayed checkout bcoz of my toddlers nap time clashing with checkout the lady on the guest service phone line asked me to physically go to the receptionist and request the same. I don’t expect this from a hotel that’s supposed to spark luxury and comfort in every aspect.

The seaview room is very comfortable for a small family. Balcony is spacious, beds and pillows are so comfortable. Room slippers are soft and fluffy. Everything provided has luxurious touch pn it. Breakfast at Gastronomy is amazing as well. 18 live stations provide large varieties of choices. It is ppen from 7am to 12:00.
Long waiting time at check-in. And the room cards were not activated to operate the lift. We had to walk back and waited again. Thats a bit disappointed.

Had to pay a holding deposit of about 6k and was not specified on booking.com when I was making the booking. I think it’s only fair that for the hotel or booking.com to add the deposit to the booking details.

Our stay at Atlantis The Royal was unforgettable – breathtaking hotel, world-class facilities, and a truly exceptional s
Our stay at Atlantis The Royal was simply out of this world – by far the best hotel experience we’ve ever had. The architecture, the luxury, the views… everything feels absolutely breathtaking. The rooms are stunning, spacious, and perfectly designed for comfort and elegance. But what truly made our stay exceptional was the service. Every staff member goes above and beyond, and we want to highlight Eva, who was absolutely outstanding. From the very first moment, she made us feel special, cared for, and always welcomed with a genuine smile. Her professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail transformed our holiday into something unforgettable. Eva is truly a gem and a perfect example of world-class hospitality. The restaurants are top-notch, each meal was a culinary journey, and the rooftop infinity pool is simply the most spectacular we’ve ever seen. Whether for families or couples, this resort delivers perfection on every level. We can’t wait to come back – and when we do, we sincerely hope to see Eva again! She made all the difference.

Not much to say really other then pricing can be a little steep and the room looked in a little need of tlc for the valuation it has. Other then that nothing else.

Amazing experience
Everything, the amenities, the staff, the food , the service. Atlantis the Royal it’s an different kind of experience, it’s not just a stay, everything there it’s exceptional. The way the staff treats you as soon as you arrive makes you feel like you are the most important person in the world, they are all so amazing the hospitality there it’s next level. Our room included lounge access which was an amazing perk as you can get unlimited drinks and some light bites during the day, they have different types of service such as afternoon tea and so on. They have many restaurants in the hotel but i highly recommend Milos which is a greek restaurant and the food and the service there are top notch. There are many pools to visit and it’s quite pleasant even with the temperatures in Dubai at the moment.Our room had sea view which was beautiful, the room is spacious and comfortable and smells amazing and has some nice amenities as well. The highlight of the stay was the breakfast which is served in Gastronomy restaurant, it had so many stations with different types of food so much to choose from and everything so delicious with a great experience from the staff as well.Overall great experience although we stayed for a short time, i would say it’s definitely worth for the money.

The room was spacious, amazing view, comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed. What truly stood out was the staff— (rachid, oussama, karim, and everyone we encountered) they went above and beyond to ensure we had an unforgettable experience. They genuinely care about their guests and take pride in creating a welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend this hotel if you're looking for exceptional service and a relaxing, top-quality stay. We’ll definitely be back!
