The Retreat Palm Dubai - MGallery

We loved the location of this hotel. The Palm boardwalk adjacent is wonderful for early morning and evening strolls. The food in the hotel is excellent! Most outstanding are the staff. Special mention here for Angela, Durbec, Ian and Fairly in the buffet restaurant who consistently attended to our every whim. Thanks guys! Personally, I loved the well equipped gym and my wife loved the hotel spa and their massage treatments. The hotel has a wonderful relaxing atmosphere in that it’s not overly posh, which I firmly believe that’s what we all need on our holidays. We highly recommend this hotel. Try it for yourself. You will be pleasantly thrilled as surely as we have.

Dreadful coffee ☕️ is the only thing we found fault with. Everything else - exemplary!

Nice staff, good food & pool, the Arabic is restaurant a hidden gem (called Bait Al Nakhla ). Breakfast buffet (main restaurant Vibe) was very good, but it was nice to have the Arabic restaurant on the other side for an authentic, non-buffet option. Food was delicious! We liked it so much we ate there twice and had room service another time. Very kind restaurant staff in both restaurants especially Ahmed, Nadia, and the chefs at Bait Al Nakhla who were kind to our child. Hotel is fine but note that there is nothing within walking distance except the boardwalk. Staff was very helpful in booking Burj Khalifa visit.

The beach and pool area is well kept within the hotel, but is too bad we couldn’t walk down the beach very far (private beaches and construction) and the board walk across the street out front isn’t shaded.

Nice location on the palm. Very friendly staff - we were travelling with our young baby and they were all very accommodating. Nice pool and beach area. Free morning yoga was a plus.

No alcohol served - was ok in the end but that wasn’t made clear on marketing etc if the hotel. If staying for a few nights, the restaurant options would be quite limited.
