From the moment we arrived we were greeted warmly and the standard of service continued throughout our stay at every level. The standard of the room was excellent. We enjoyed the facilities around the pool, being brought buckets of water was a nice touch. We only had chance to dine in Le Jardin but found the offering plentiful and well cooked. A slight down note was that part was through our break you started charging for water. Overall we had a great experience with you, so much so that we have already booked again for January 2025 for a stay of 14 nights. Special mention to Isuru our floor butler, Amina who kept our room spotless and Ahmed in the restaurant. We also used your spa facilities and these are some of the best we have seen around the world. Can't wait now until our next visit. Read less

Hey, so I just went to this resort in Dubai called Raffles, and let me tell you, the staff there needs some serious training. They have no idea how to treat guests. I asked to speak to the duty manager, Ms. Alia, and guess what? She was too busy for five whole hours! Can you believe that? She couldn't spare five minutes to listen to my concerns. I… Read more
Hey, so I just went to this resort in Dubai called Raffles, and let me tell you, the staff there needs some serious training. They have no idea how to treat guests. I asked to speak to the duty manager, Ms. Alia, and guess what? She was too busy for five whole hours! Can you believe that? She couldn't spare five minutes to listen to my concerns. I hope the General Manager, Mr. Aaron Kaupp, gets wind of this and gives them all a good talking-to. This was my first and last time staying there. Dubai has plenty of other resorts that know how to take care of their guests and make sure they have a great holiday. Read less

We are coming to the end of a 2 week stay at Raffles and will definitely be back. I cannot say enough about the service and staff and as we booked the Club Room and had half board, everything was wonderful. Firstly, the club room. Breakfast, lunch and evening nibbles are awesome as well as afternoon tea but the highlight for us was the cocktails each evening between 5pm and 7pm. What an absolute credit to their team, Shehan, who was always attentive and so professional and polite. We were told by other guests that he was amazing and he didn’t disappoint with the service, nothing was too much trouble. He made it clear when last orders due, as we didn’t want to incur charges after the 2 hour slot. He was always smiling and asked about our day, absolute credit to the team at Raffles Club Lounge. The pool was beautiful and temperature controlled and was a relief when the temperature rose. Free water was provided poolside and sunbeds were plentiful. Food in Le Jardin on half board was a little repetitive but you can find something different each evening, we just popped to the club lounge for the food, chef was awesome and always checking if anything else was needed and for breakfast, the staff are amazing. The room was big , clean and comfortable and possibly the best we have stayed in Dubai, having visited over 10 times at different hotels! Isuvu (our butler) was attentive and a credit to their team, making sure we had everything we needed and actually listening to what we wanted. I would highly recommend booking for Raffles The Palm and, definitely the club room with access to the lounge. Shehan actually made this experience really special when I needed a recharge and would come back for his service alone. This place will not disappoint Read less
