Fodor's "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." Full review

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

"Celebrating everything horse-related, this is a hotel, riding school and polo venue rolled into one." 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
