Rough Guide
"On the edge of Dubai, around twenty minutes’ drive from the city centre, the Desert Palm is a pleasantly laid-back suburban bolthole."
Time Out

Condé Nast Traveler

Time Out
"You simply won’t find a more feature-laden hotel in the city. Pool and gym, check. Bars and nightclub, check. Revolving restaurant, check. Private golf course, check." Full review
Star Service
"Set aside in its corner of Deira just seconds from the gold souk, this majestic edifice stands watch over the creek and the ambitious Palm Deira project still being created out of the sea." Full review

Expect little in the way of special attention to individual requests as this hotel is geared toward groups.
