The Room was a suite on the second floor 276 and looked out from the huge balcony straight at the Burj al arab and Burj Khalifa just wow!

although we only had a partial sea view it was lovely to sit on the balcony with a view of the Burj Kalifa.

We stayed for 6 nights in a King Deluxe Skyline View room with a great view of the city including the Burj Al Arab and Burj Khalifa.

The room was massive with a balcony overlooking the sea & views of Burj Al Arab in the distance.

We did the little boat trip from the beach round The Burj Al Arab - 500 Dirhams for 30 mins - boat takes 5 people.

Beautiful location, you can choose the burj el arab & burj halifa view or the pool & beach view.

I’d definitely recommend a pool facing room as opposed to a room facing the Burj Al Arab and Downtown.

Great views of burj Al Arab & the world as well, good instruction and direction from staff.

We had a chance to have photos taken by Figo which we did by the Burj Al Arab and also by The Atlantis so we have some nice memories to take home.

Overall the hotel suited our needs, as it was well situated on the Palm with both views of the Dubai skyline, one side and the Burj Al Arab and Burj Khalifa to the other as our Suite was situated on the corner of the building room 201.

Our room over looked the Burj Al Arab, so had the best of both worlds as the beach side we had the Atlantis!

We would like to thank Udaya for taking the time to take us to the burj khalifa and explaining sights on the way.

Our room faced the Burj Al Arab and was spotless and a great size.

The room was lovely and had a great view of the Burj al Arab and when it was clear you could also see downtown.

It was spacious, very clean, massive super king bed with expansive ocean views towards the Burj.

The rooms - very spacious, we were lucky enough to have a room overlooking the Burj and downtown Dubai in the distance and was very clean and felt very safe from a covid perspective.

The guys were so helpful & willing taking pictures of us in front of iconic sights, allowed us to jump off the boat and have a swim in the sea in front of the Burj Al Arab, they redirected the boat so we could watch a sea plane and abseilers land which was brilliant to see.

The room was clean and bright with a beautiful view to the Burj Al Arab.

Rooms are of the highest standard with views either of Burj al Arab or the Palm.

Many thanks to Sheela and her team at the Pearl Club Lounge.

We always stay in the Pearl club rooms/suites with our 2 kids and this provides access to the Pearl Club lounge - we love sitting on the balcony for breakfast, afternoon tea and the pre-dinner cocktails.

Staff in the pear club lounge were lovely too

Mercy and her team in the Pearl Club Lounge offered a very warm welcome each day and conducted themselves in a professional manner, providing a very personal service and always having time to stop for a chat and engaging with the guests.

If you can afford a Peal Club room, its well worth the upgrade which gives entry to the Club lounge, where you can take breakfast, afternoon tea and complimentary drinks/snacks every evening from 5-8 pm.

This room gave access to the Pearl Club Lounge, which we loved!!

The club lounge made the trip extra special with the best team led by Mark, Sagar and Mercy.

Food choices were good especially in the club lounge.

Until now, we are so thankful for meeting them all – especially Ms. Sushana, a real gem from the Club lounge.

Furthermore, I would like to mention the team of the Club Lounge.

Definitely recommend the Pearl Club lounge as well 👍🏼 Felt super exclusive!

The whole team in the Pearl club lounge was so friendly and the service was just perfect.

The included club lounge was offering delicious patisserie/snacks/breakfast and evening Canapés.

but especially we have to mention Mr. Sagar Joshi club lounge agent and the rest of the club staff that gave wonderful service and solved each problem or gave answers to each question or service we needed.

We were able too check into our suite around noon so we waited in the Pearl Club Lounge until then enjoying a late breakfast and snacks.

We took out the Pearl Club Lounge offer each time and would wholeheartedly recommend it.

Food and drinks in Pearl Club lounge is really good quality.

We were also on the club lounge Pearl rooms which allows you to have breakfast in the club lounge and afternoon tea and cakes 1500-1700 and then pre dinner drinks from 1800-2000 which is a lovely touch.

A special thank you to the entire staff of the Pearl Club lounge - which can really be recommended.

We will definitely be going back for another family holiday in the near future and we cannot wait!

Lastly, this hotel is situated in a quiet and relaxing location and is especially good if you are looking for a relaxing holiday

We are still on a 11 night holiday at this luxurious hotel, the hospitality has been exceptional from arriving the reception staff and the restaurants staff could not do enough for us.

and preyanka made our stay 10x better, such a wonderful vacation will definitely come back again!

It was one of our memorable holidays staying at Waldorf Astoria .

My husband and I had a fantastic holiday at this beautiful hotel.

A truly amazing holiday & a  HUGE thank you to All the staff at the Waldorf for giving us a holiday to always remember.

We felt absolut great from beginn until end of the vacation.

We were there for a family vacation in Sept 2022.

The friendly, calm  and attentive service of all the staff made for a relaxing holiday.

The staff do everything to make you feel this is the best holiday in your life.

We had our family holiday here last month which included celebrating our daughters 18th birthday whilst we were there.

I would like to say a special mention to Sangam, the housekeeper who has made our stay such a lovely holiday.

We recently spent our family holiday here and thoroughly enjoyed it.

We returned to the Waldorf after a 3 year covid break.

This hotel surpassed all expectations and really delivered on the perfect family holiday.

Our holiday was to mark a big birthday and the day was made extra special by the thoughtful staff.

Overall the staff that i have mentioned made my holiday.

We have stayed at most of Dubia’s top hotels and the Waldorf is up there with them a fantastic holiday will have found our new heaven.

Ideal for all types of travellers and holidays
Totally recommend this hotel and I will return

Would definitely recommend the Barj Khalifa what a sight at night time !

If you decide to go to Burg Khalifa, I would recommend going to the top - doing the lounge experience with access to level 154 with the option of breakfast (am tour), afternoon tea or champagne and canapes (sunset and evening tour).

The Waldorf has amazing service, spectacular views of the Burj Al Arab and Burj Khalifa.

Room was lovely facing the sea and could see Burj Khalifa, Burj Al Arab and the glamorous city of Dubai.

Our room which was a King Deluxe Skyline Sea View was beautiful with a large Balcony and amazing views of the Dubai Skyline, Burj Al Arab, Burj Khalifa etc.

It is located on the extreme east side of the Palm at 30/40 minutes taxi to downtown Dubai Mall/Burj Khalifa.

The room we had was very spacious and spotlessly clean and had a great view of the Burj al Arab and Burj Khalifa city scape.

Friday is big brunch day all over Dubai so give that a try

40 mins to airport
30 mins to Dubai mall / Burj Khalifa
20 mins to JBR walk or Burj Al Arab
5 mins to water park

Can’t wait to return very soon.

Took us 30 mins to find entrance to Burj Khalifa.

The hotel is around 25 minutes by taxi to the main Dubai Malls and Burj Khalifa, 35 mins from the airport - so pretty much near everything.

It only took us 35 mins by cab to get to Burj Khalifa at noon during heavy traffic, for example.

We also crammed in visits to the Burj Khalifa for the night time lights show, Dubai Mall (which is just enormous), downtown marina for evening drinks: all memorable in their own way and jet-skiing around the Burj Al Arab which was an amazing experience.

We had a double deluxe room with views overlooking the Burj Khalifa and downtown Dubai!

We stayed as a family of four in 2 separate Premium King rooms on the 5th floor and woke up to a wonderful sunrise every morning with a fantastic view of the Burj Al Arab and Burj Khalifa (this seaview is better than the Palm view in our opinion).

The lobby was magnificent and the rooms were VERY comfortable, with a beautiful view of the Burj Khalifa and Burj Al Arab.

We booked a Skyline-View Suite which will give you a view of Burj Arab & Burj Khalifa.

In summary, the dining experience here is poor considering its a resort hotel, not near anything.

The food quality in the restaurants (I tried them all) was poor and should be upgraded.

-Once you are in the hotel, and attempt to reduce your stay due to the poor treatment you have received.

Response from management was poor even after email.

but I seriously would have refused to pay for a downgrade together all of the upset/anger/frustration their incompetence and poor management caused us.

And our stay was poor and the handling of  covid and the safety regulations was terrible.

There is not a 5 star feel and more a all-inclusive feel with a lot of families and poor amenities.

Service was really poor for the Waldorf brand.

But a hotel brand can be ruined by a poor check in experience, and this is what happened to my family.

Considering the quality of food they produce for adults this is poor.

but not location /next to elevator

Second time great, amazing room but would be good to have power on balcony

Housekeeping 
Good but inconsistent 
Great quality sheets/toiletries 
Poor quality towels

Activities 
Tennis court, poor maintained, old racquets and balls, disorganized.

One week ago, A poor choice of words left me uneasy during the check in.

Post covid should ensure the leadership team given their restriction would up  their A game .Instead, poor service quality  and lack-lustre options prevail.

The cases were  taken to the room and as I dared to bring my own case in the room the poor lad almost accosted me to stop me from moving it.

Poor location, uninspiring dining options, the most depressing late night bar I’ve come across at a hotel (no one went there) and poor room layouts.

This hotel lacks the luxury in lounges, restaurants, quality of service and generally a very poor hotel in this regards.

The restaurant manager eventually came to speak with us and apologised for the poor service re. coffees.

Overall we wish we hadn’t paid the extra for such a poor experience (taxi would have been 75 Dirhams each way).

Me and my family stayed here for five days, this hotel is amazing, it’s got everything, sandy beach, nice restaurants, great rooms

They had a blast and we could enjoy the amazing food.

Great service, got us our drinks and food quickly and helped adjust our beach umbrella multiple times as the weather changed.

but the cocktails definitely made up for it.

The rooms are amazing, the pool/beachside and all the hotels restaurants are amazing.

but what really made our stay was the staff especially chef Rahul who went out of his way to make sure we were happy with our dinner every night.

All the food was fab from breakfast, Social, Palm Avenue and Mezzarie as was room service.

but really enjoyed the food at Lao who have a set menu for those on half board.

A beer round the pool lunch tine £12 a pint, and Burger and Chips about £35.

I would definitely recommend staying at this hotel, rooms are spacious and nice, great view from a palm sea view room.good food and great hospitality from all the staff, I really felt looked after, lovely beach and not very  busy (at the time  I went)

Also very good and friendly service from Alex in the mezzerie, of which I very much appreciated and also from Quasem.

Lunch inthe restaurant next to he pool ws lovely.

Food was really nice and arrived nice and hot.

Clive Pereira who runs the restaurant and his team were fantastic as always.

There is also an Asian inspired restraunt called Lao and an Itailan called social

We would like to thank the entire team of staff that made sure our stay was unforgettable from the breakfast team, the housekeeping team and the poolside team through to the restaurant team.

The staff was friendly, restaurants were amazing, everything was clean, pool and beach were perfect, housekeeping was exceptional.

Santhosh and Torintan harshad sagar all amazing service, really good food and such kind staff.

We also loved the fact that the children were not forgotten when it came to slippers for the room and children’s toiletries.

Shankar who was the gentleman who looked after our room was truly amazing!

The rooms are huge with great views, the pools and beach area are beautiful and the restaurants were great albeit expensive.

Our room was lovely with great view and facilities.

The service was excellent - from reception to restaurants, pool staff, concierge and room attendants.

Our room steward was called Abhishek and did a brilliant job looking after our room -as did his colleagues too.

Although water is generally available in your room, pool, breakfast etc.

They surprised us and decorated our room for a celebration and left notes everyday checking that we are still enjoying ourselves and wishing us a great day

Impeccable housekeeping standards in my room by charles  And nothing too much trouble.

As first timers to Dubai we didn’t know what to expect; what we got was a fabulous hotel, impeccable service, a sumptuous Pearl King Club Room and the best quality food we have ever had.

We stayed in a Pearl Club room which was worth it as the views from the lounge where fantastic in the morning.

We loved the location and the rooms view .

Sangaam, our room attendant was brilliant throughout and even brought up a little Waldorf teddy for us to keep.

The room would be cleaned regularly and breakfast provided a a good variety. Thank u Waldorf Dubai:)

check in was smooth & efficent, booked 10nights in a deluxe king palm view room with balcony, the views are stunning, ate mostly in the Mezzeria restaurant where the quality & choice of dishes was fantastic, along with the Lovely & Friendly  staff, who could never do enough for you!!

So friendly and made our stay so comfortable cleaning our room every day to a very high standard.

Just completed our 12th night stay here at the Waldorf and can honestly say it's been the best experience ( over 26 visits to the UAE) Everything from front of house check-in , room and soft furnishings, food ( absolutely outstanding) pool and quality of service delivery has been 1st-Class.

but it’s not a home until you feel love and the staff make sure you feel loved.

Santhosh has been so helpful and welcoming always with a smile, towels, and cold water to greet me and my family when we visit.

Thank you Ojo, Thomas and Harshard for the excellent job that you guys are doing!

I really liked that the assistant manager of the hotel seemed very hands on and approached us every time he saw us to make sure our stay was going well and to see if we needed anything.

but was every staff member we dealt with.

Special mention to Abkishek and Okha for ensuring our room had everything we needed.

They were always very helpful and asking us if we need anything or if they could help in any way.

They were all very accommodating, offering drink replenishments.

The hospitality was definatek5 stars, all the staff are polite and courteous, no request was too much.

In fact all the staff are great in this hotel and ready to help.

The staff were super and very attentive inparliclar  OJO THOMAS AND ASHAD .

These guys were amazing and did everything they could to help you have the best day.

Thomas, Ojo and Aswin were all attentive and friendly.

They were attentive and provided amazing service.

The staff were on point and very helpful to the point they almost knew what you going to ask or need.

She and her staff waited on our every need in the highest professional manner.

The hotel is immaculate credit to all cleaning staff.

but after I spoke to Manveer Singh the reception manager he made sure we had a unforgettable experience.

For me the adults-only pool is one of the best pool experiences in Dubai if you want a relaxed day.

It was our first family holiday with a 2.5 year old and 8 month baby in tow and I have to say, the Waldorf and it’s staff made it such a memorable experience from beginning to end.

They all went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience possible.

From the time you walkin(beginning of your stay) to the time you walkout(end of your stay) a wonderful experience.

We were welcomed like old friends and again as usual it’s the staff that make the experience so special.

I recommend this hotel and the experience to anyone wanting to visit Dubai Palm Jumeirah, you will not be disappointed - 10/10.

LAO - our experience in LAO was one of the high-lights

The service recieved was some of the best in the world I have experienced.

The food and drinks are delicious and we had a great experience.

This is was our first time staying at the Waldorf and I must say it was a fantastic experience.

These guys work so hard, making your experience at the beach so pleasant.

Looking forward to coming back and experience the Hospitality again.

Kids club very clean, colourful, multiple activities for various ages, amazing staff: Joshua,Shenley,Nipa,they are very accommodating and happy faces 
My kids had a wonderful experience 
Water is provided and kids toilets inside the facility

Special mention to Hassan at the Mezzerie who took care of us and made our experience all the more memorable and wonderful with his charm, warm personality, and charisma!

holiday trip

The views are amazing from the beach you look over the palm towards Altlantis and from the reception towards the Burj Al Arab, stunning….

Just a short taxi ride away from the city; the Dubai Mall, Burj Khalifa and Aquarium providing great days out (when booking a taxi, as for Zaheer - very friendly and made sure we got back to the hotel even when late).

We booked the burj Kalifa tour via TUI which was 450aed (£90 for 2).

Be prepared to pay for taxis or rent a car if you want to visit the Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall, the marina etc - Anantara is situated near the end of the palm, a 20-minute drive from mainland Dubai.

The view (see view with the Burj al Arab and skyline) was fantastic.

Beautiful balcony with views of the burj also.

Taxi to Burj Khalifa around £23, less for the Eye - worth every penny.

The rooms are absolutely massive and very very clean with an amazing view of the Burj Al Arab from the balcony, and little things like this made our time that extra special.

We had a sea facing room with a big balcony overlooking downtown Dubai (Burj Khalifa) and the beautiful Burj Al Arab.

He made this very quickly and the tour was great from Marina to Burj al Arab .

A lovely balcony with views of the sea and the Burj al Arab.

A complete package of relaxing and enjoyable activities for kids and adults alike.. helpful and friendly staff.. perfect location with view of Burj Al Arab and water activities..feel of Thai and Maldives vacation..

Our room had separate kitchen, mini bar, washing machine, bigger fridge, and huge balcony overlooking to Burj Al Arab view.

but with a Burj Al Arab view of the balcony.

I had a wonderful view of the water as well as "Burj Al arab" from my room.

Completed recent stay in dubai and went to several hotels, including burj al arab, al naseem, armani, ritz carlton, and al maha.

1BHK view from balcony and bedroom was breathtaking with open sea and city view (Burj Al Arab).

You can see the view of hotel burj al Arab also nice .

The view from revo are amazing including Burj al Arab in view.

Check in was quick and we were assigned a spacious room overlooking the sea and the Burj Al Arab.

You really need to catch the happy hour or drinks are VERY expensive!

My only mild annoyance was the price of the drinks which were very expensive compared to other places we have stayed.

On several occasions at the pool and beach we were approach by the F&B team and asked how we would like to pay for drinks.

Just be aware that the drinks are expensive here (but this is typical for Dubai).

Our only other criticism is that drinks are very expensive -

If I had to absolutely had to pick on something to say was bad, I would say the soft drinks are expensive as they are not included in the meal plan.

Drinks are very expensive as indicated in other reviews.

but be careful my daughter got stung by jelly fish, also bring your own lilos from Amazon and get them pumped up a gift shop for free be warned though a packet of hobb nobbs was near on a fiver and drinks are expensive but all in all if you can get an amazing deal on beach villa do it you get your own butler and breakfast in your villa thank you anantara

Room for improvement:
No dedicated GHA Discovery check-in area
As others have said, towels, bedding and sun-loungers - especially the loungers on the beach - are in need of replacing/refreshing
The hotel increases the price of drinks that it offers for its 2 for 1 Happy Hours!

Drinks expensive and I don't think there was any alcohol inside them.

We then tried to pay a set fee for a drinks package of some sort, which they do not off in any way.

Yes the drinks are expensive as reviews have mentioned

Overall one of the best holidays I have had.
