The breakfast buffet is excellent, freshly made, hot food.

❌ Furthermore, the breakfast room was extremely crowded on both days of our stay, making the experience rather unpleasant and making it difficult to find a table and move about freely.

I am really surprised with the high level of service and amenities considering a very affordable price for Palm Jumeirah hotels!

Complaints the hotel left unresolved4 of 2201 in 55 reviews
I spoke with the reception and later with the manager, but neither made any effort to investigate the situation fairly.
Tripadvisor, July 2026, rated 1/5 by this guest
I cannot understand how the failure to deliver what was ordered could happen repeatedly, despite the issue being pointed out each time.
