"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."

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."

"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."

"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"

"If you are looking for a clean budget room backed by an international hotel chain, this property is a great choice."
Insight Guides
"This simple but comfortable four-star is perhaps the best-value hotel in the city, although rooms can get booked up quickly if there is a big event on at the Dubai International Exhibition Centre next door."
DK Eyewitness
"One of Dubai’s best bargains, the Ibis offers small, clean and stylish rooms."
Time Out
"The ever-popular Ibis is a fuss-free affair; there’s no pool and facilities are minimal, but the hotel has invested its time and energy into the fundamentals."
