“Beautiful Oasis of calm”

1/1 found this review helpful

We went for 5 days at the beginning of September. It was our first trip to Dubai and the city itself was exactly as we had expected it - hot and dusty. However, the Residence & Spa exceeded our expectations. It was an oasis in the middle of the two larger sister hotels and was mainly frequented by couples in their forties to sixties and a smattering of younger honeymooners. We saw only one child, but that's to be expected as the neighbouring hotels target the family market. The ambience was rather like a colonial house. Some reviewers have said that it seemed stuffy, but they were people who were staying at the other hotels and visiting for dinner. It certainly has a different and quieter ambience, but I wouldn't have said it was in any way stuffy. Staff was friendly and eager to please. We stayed in the premium room (entry level) and it was large and comfortable and more than adequate for our needs.

The pool was very big and temperature controlled which I think is standard in Dubai. It made for a very refreshing cool down and we swam more there than anywhere else we've stayed. The pool service was exceptional - every time we put down our tumbler it was refilled with cold water. We also had fruit and sorbet, which was a nice little treat.

We particularly liked the fact that we could use the restaurants of the Arabian Court and Palace. During our stay we at at the Beach Bar (Palace) and Nina and Eau Zone (Arabian Court) as well as two evenings in the Dining Room. The dining room was more expensive, but it was a fine dining experience of a wonderful standard. It was very quiet in there, though, and we felt we should keep our voices down! Maybe not for anyone other than couples? One reviewer said the food was bad, but that was certainly not our experience. All four restaurants rated very highly.

All in all, an excellent hotel and we are now very spoiled and will find it hard to stay elsewhere in Dubai.

Just returned from a week at the Royal Mirage, wow what a brilliant holiday!
The hotel was stunning, set over a large area with its own private beach. The hotel staff were fantastic, we couldn't fault anything at all.
The rooms were spacious and very clean. maid service twice a day, nothing was too much effort for any of the staff.
The food in all of the hotels 8 restaurants were superb, in fact so good we didn't leave the hotel at all in the evenings. Breckfast was also very good with a huge choice.
Dress code is smart casual in the evenings, and although you could get away with smart jeans, most people dressed up a little bit. I found linen trouser, smart flip flops and a shirt was the most comfortable, especially if going outside.
The private beach was stunning, crystal clear water and white sand, however the sea water was actually hot so no chance of cooling down! The pool was gorgeous and nice and cool, great for cooling down as the water is chilled!
All in all, best holiday I've ever had and cant wait to go back later in the year!

“Fantastic!!!!!”

Went for a surprise present for my 40th!!!
The Residence and Spa couldn't do enough for us. Many Thanks for the flowers and the presents from the Spa.
The staff where great. Fantastic service.

The great thing about the Residence and Spa is that yes there are two other hotels next to it - The Arabian Court and the Palace as residents you are able to use the facilities at the other hotels but the Residence and Spa is only for residents of said hotel.

What a fantastic 40th, one I wont forget.

Will definitely go back

“Welcome Retreat”

One&Only Royal Mirage

3/3 found this review helpful

Wow, from the moment entering this hotel I thought I landed in heaven, ok so the 10 hour flight may have had something to do with it. The attention to detail in the hotel was amazing and never saw any lack of maintenance anywhere.

A big thank you to the staff who made my birthday stay a memorable one.

All the public areas that I saw were quite simply stunning, there us certainly a lot to explore at the Arabian Court itself. The Roof Top Terrace is a definite must, very comfortable & the staff were very attentive without being obtrusive.

The room was very spacious with just enough 'antique' style furniture to make it comfortable, the bathroom, well you could live in it and a fantastic shower with very good pressure. There is plenty of closet space and the huge bed was very comfortable. When in need of emergency pressing, their was someone at the door in less than 5 minutes.

The 'buffet' style breakfast was second to none, catering for every
possible taste. Nina's restaurant with a slight hint of Indian Moulin Rouge meets Arabia, was undeniably good with exceptional service. The Tomato Butter Chicken is highly recommended.

The temprature controlled pool was a blessing as the sea was like getting into a bath after someone had already been in it!!!

Overall I could not fault the service, which was exceptional, the room I could have moved into and it was very welcoming.

There is always one thing, how come this appears to be the only One & Only which charges for internet usage and per minute !!!

All in all go, you just have to stay there !!!
