One&Only Royal Mirage Hotel, Dubai
Expert reviews
“The most romantic resort in Dubai, this hotel has four different hotels to choose from; while they differ in appearance and amenities, they are all tranquil, private, and spacious.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Dubai.
“Guests at The Royal Mirage have included Michael Jackson and David Beckham, who’ve slept within the Arabian architecture, immaculately cultivated palm tree gardens and probably lounged on the crisp white beachside cabanas.”
“One&Only Royal Mirage resembles an Arabian palace. Nestled among 65 acres of palm-tree-filled gardens and sparkling pools, the Jumeirah Beach resort enchants with touches like ornamental arches and Moroccan lanterns.”
“The One&Only Royal Mirage is a romantic beachfront resort made up of three properties – the regal Arabian Court, the Moorish-style Palace and the intimate Residence & Spa. Guests can expect sea-facing rooms, abundant gardens, a lavish spa and some of the city’s best restaurants.”

Luxurious, relaxing, and truly memorable stay
The property was just as beautiful as the photos—absolutely stunning. From the meticulously maintained gardens to the sparkling clean pools and elegant design, every detail created a luxurious and peaceful atmosphere. Our stay started on a high note with a warm welcome and the charming tradition of ringing the bell. What stood out most was the exceptional service. Every staff member we encountered was consistently friendly, cheerful, and genuinely eager to help, reflecting the hotel’s strong commitment to guest satisfaction. Overall, our stay at One&Only Royal Mirage was truly memorable. With its breathtaking setting, outstanding staff, and refined ambience, it offered an unforgettable experience. With a few small improvements, it could easily be a perfect 10. We would gladly return and highly recommend it to others.
While most aspects of our stay were exceptional, we found the all-you-can-eat restaurant did not quite meet the standard expected, especially considering the cost of nearly $120 per person. The food variety and quality could be improved. Additionally, some of the bathroom tile corners could use a deeper clean to remove traces of mould. One small suggestion would be for reception to offer guests a quick orientation of the hotel facilities (e.g. gym, spa, pool areas) upon check-in, to help guests make the most of their stay.

A royal staycation
Everything was so great, the hotel is absolutely beautiful and very well-maintained. You don’t feel like you’re in Dubai anymore. There’s a high number of restaurants, excellent quality, all of them, especially Tagine. The staff is very nice, smiling and welcoming. From the valet to the house keeping, and security team. We felt at home during our stay. Being spoiled & enchanted.
The TV isn’t smart… you can hardly connect your phone.

A fantastic option, close to Marina and Internet City
Everything: check-in was quick and efficient (it was during Eid, the hotel was probably full, and we got an upgrade!), the room was impressive, the details in the room (though it wouldn't harm if they renovated the bathrooms), the condition of the property is striking (a bit aged, a professional can realise, but the effort in maintenance is remarkable), the gardens, the pools, the gyms, the breakfast, etc. But, rest assured, above everything, their people, so attentive, the service really impressed us. You'll read other reviews saying construction sites surround the hotel; this is true—it's Dubai—but you won't be disturbed: at night, you'll hear no noise at all! This was our first One and Only experience. We'll probably repeat Mirage as soon as we have a chance, and we'll also try other One and Only hotels elsewhere.
Dinner buffets are always tricky; we tried one (mostly because we were so comfortable at the hotel, we didn't want to go out), and they didn't live up to our expectations. They aren't bad, don't get me wrong, but... The other restaurants we tried, the Argentinian barbecue and the Moroccan, were way much better, as could be expected. The ticket is high, of course, it's Dubai, everything is expensive! The beach. Don't get surprised, these artificial beaches around Palm aren't good, the water doesn't flush much, the sand is coarse, and the surf is muddy. If you want to have seawater baths, don't go to Dubai, none of its beaches is worth it.

Would stay again but would expect some changes
The staff were very welcoming, facilities were of a good standard and everywhere was immaculate.
The beach bar and grill was of a very poor quality and food was served cold several times but the staff there were not interested. Overall standard of food were not consistent. It was advertised a free boat to the one and only but it was not running so had to pay for a taxi. Complimentary drinks are served daily but you are not told about it. We found out on our last day

Luxury staying
The hotel provides top luxury service in all segments of the hotel industry. Probably one of the best resorts in the world, and rightfully the best resort in the UAE. The stuff is amazingly high professional, from the front desk, room servise, managing stuff, i will come back again definitely.
Everything is just perfect in this hotel, the real high end luxury service. This is my favorite luxury hotel in the world.

Splendid place for holiday
I had the most amazing honeymoon at the One&Only Royal Mirage Hotel. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive throughout our stay. We spent five unforgettable days in the Arabian Court, enjoying the hotel’s long private beach and spacious pool. I can’t wait to visit again.

The O&O provides exceptional service and a welcoming atmosphere, making it my favorite hotel.
It's hard to summarize my stay at the O&O in a few words. So, to be brief, it was wonderful and perfect as always. I have been a regular guest at the O&O Royal Mirage for over 12 years, and the service, the facility, simply everything has always been at a very high level. Nowhere else in my travels have I encountered such friendly, professional, and customer-oriented staff. Here, you just feel comfortable as a guest, like coming home. You are not just a number, but a person, and I appreciate that very much. Starting with the atmosphere in the hotel, it exudes immense tranquility, cleanliness, a pleasant scent, and an Arabian flair. The hotel's own restaurants, where you can simply eat wonderfully. The beach and pool area, with superb service for the guests. Drinks, ice cream, fruit, etc., were served. Conclusion: I can only recommend the O&O, for me it is the best hotel in Dubai. The staff is simply wonderful, hence a big compliment to the management and every single person who contributes to making the stay at the O&O so beautiful. I am already looking forward to my next stay at the One and Only in Dubai. And great respect for maintaining the same excellent service over the years, unlike other hotels in Dubai where quality steadily declines. At O&O, everything is done right.
A very minor downside, if I had to mention one, would be the somewhat limited facilities during the summer months. For example, the Shisha Bar in the Arabian Court was unfortunately closed, which was a highlight for me; I usually spent every evening in this beautiful courtyard. Similarly, the poolside bars could stay open a bit longer in the evenings.

The hotel staff were exceptional, premises was super clean, the spa was amazing and it was a great place for the family to just unwind. Everything you'd want in a getaway is delivered here.
We had a couple of prams for the kids so hauling them up and down the stairs was a little impractical but wasn't a deal breaker as all the good points overshadowed this and we were on the resort for most the day. The second point wasn't to do with the hotel staff itself but the staff at Zest were disappointing, there was no warmth or welcome from entry to exit bar 2 waiters who were great

The staff were super friendly and the complex is huge with several restaurant and lounge options. We really enjoyed the swimming pool. The complimentary ticket to Aquaventure on Palm Jumeirah was very nice. We also enjoyed the breakfast.

We loved staying there so much. Everything is nice especially the cleanliness of the rooms and the facilities. All the staff are very nice and very helpful. They were very friendly with kids as well. We granted an early check-in & a late check-out which is extremely appreciated. Definitely we will comeback again and we highly recommend it.
The beach is not the best for swimming coz of the seaweed, so honestly I didn’t enjoy it very much, and it’s a bit far from downtown

This is our second stay at the One and Only. I love it because it is calm and peaceful amongst the bustle of the city. A
The property is a little oasis of calm in the middle of the city. Low rise and sprawling, a rare find in Dubai and all the features of an Arabian Palace
It’s being encroached on both sides by developments which can be a little noisy (the pool on the Palace side is quieter) but if you don’t like construction, don’t come to Dubai!

Superbly appointed hotel, relaxing atomosphere, almost serene, very high levels of service.
excellent breakfast excellent clean spacious beautifully appointment arabian court room staff from cleaners to concierge were incredibly polite and willing to help no matter what very high levels of service it what makes this hotel stand out location excellent as on jumeirah beach not keen to be on Palm itself as we wanted to do trips into the city and noting other reviews it takes time to travel up and down the Palm Also at the time I visited they gave a free daily pass to the Atlantis Aquaventure. We only used once given the extreme heat but it was still a nice added bonus.

We had a wonderful stay at the One&Only Royal Mirage with our toddler, it was truly a memorable experience. The staff were exceptionally professional and welcoming, and the rooms were spotless and beautifully maintained. A special thank you to Abdulrahman at reception for his warm hospitality and attentiveness. We felt truly cared for. We’ll definitely be coming back again!
One small issue was the lack of a shattaf in the bathroom upon arrival, but the team responded promptly and installed it as soon as we requested. We truly appreciated their responsiveness and care.

The resort has a magical atmosphere. The pools and the gardens are beautiful and the food in every restaurants are amazing. The breakfast was a highlight. In the end was truly sets this resort apart is the staff, helpful, friendly and always smiling and genuinely welcoming. Without a doubt, I will return and highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for an amazing hospitality. A true example of excellence in service! TY
The palace pool water should be cold during the summer.

Highly recommended.
