Travel + Leisure "Opt for the royal seal of approval at HRH Princess Haya Bint Al Hussein’s sprawling property that opened in Spring 2009 with 24 modern rooms on a former polo estate." Full review
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 "Designed by resort specialists Per AQUUM, the remote Desert Palm (45 minutes from the city centre) offers chic luxury in the midst of perfectly manicured polo fields." Full review
Fodor's "A boutique hotel surrounded by verdant polo fields brings exclusivity to the Dubai desert at a price point that doesn't require cashing in your Fortune 500 stocks."
Lonely Planet "Feel the stresses nibbling at your psyche evaporate the moment you step inside this luxe boutique retreat a short drive south of town and set on a private polo estate."
Condé Nast Traveler "One of the city’s rare small hotels, this enclave of 26 suites and villas sits on a 150-acre polo estate whose verdant lawns feel far, far away from the cranes of Dubai." Full review

Our flight is a full one and we’re squeezed in next to the quintessential package holiday family – exactly the sort of travellers our friends had told us would be heading there, and whom I was hoping to avoid.
Michelin Guide "It's an oasis, a sedate resort-style experience with clean-lined modern villas surrounded by gardens, hedges, trees — greener than your average desert experience" Full review

Frommer's "This Sheraton overlooks Dubai Creek and is a convenient choice for travelers wanting to be based near Dubai's older neighborhoods." Full review
Fodor's "As the oldest hotel on the creek, the Sheraton opened to great fanfare in the early 1970s, but it's showing its age."
DK Eyewitness "About as close to the Creek as you can get, it’s as if you’re right on top of the shimmering water when you’re in the elegant rooms at this striking hotel."
Rough Guide "This old-fashioned five-star enjoys a good central location, a scenic creekside setting, opulent public areas... and an unusual wedge-shaped atrium dotted with palm trees."
Star Service "Using a combination of beige sandstone, teal blue glass and multileveled towers, the building mirrors the constantly evolving skylines of this Middle Eastern urban oasis." Full review
The Wall Street Journal "The Sheraton Dubai Creek has views of Dubai’s foundational waterway and the ancient-looking dhows that still ply its waters."
