The story
Perched at the top of Palm Jumeirah, Raffles The Palm Dubai is, as Walk With Me Tim puts it, a place that “feels like a palace.” The property delivers on that promise with magnificent rooms, a sprawling pool, and a private beach, all backed by excellent service. It’s grand, luxurious, and unabashedly opulent—exactly what you’d expect from a hotel that wears its Raffles name with pride.
The dining here matches the setting. Tim highlights three dishes, all given a thumbs up: a Rigatoni con Pulled Beef that’s hearty and satisfying, a classic Tiramisù done right, and perfectly executed Uova Benedict. Each plate reflects the hotel’s commitment to quality without inventing new flourishes. For a stay that’s both scenic and romantic, Raffles The Palm makes a strong case.

What creators say about the stay
Rooms
- The presidential suite is incredibly grand with lots of gold, marble, multiple chandeliers, a wraparound balcony, a jacuzzi, and a stunning bathroom. The bed is a bit firm but it's a beautiful room.
Facilities
- The hotel has a huge pool, a private beach with netting against jellyfish, a club lounge with free drinks and great views, and a luxury cinema room.
Location
- The hotel is at the top of Palm Jumeirah with great views over the palm and Atlantis.
Service
- Service is generally excellent: turn down service, complimentary water brought to the sunbed, and a jacuzzi prepared on request. However, there was a bit of a hassle paying for a Coke at the bar because it couldn't be put on the room bill.
Breakfast
- Breakfast is served in the room at no extra charge with a great view from the balcony. I ordered eggs Benedict, cereal, cappuccino, orange juice, toast and pastries.
Value for money
- The original room I booked was expensive, but the presidential suite upgrade via Amex was fantastic. Food prices were not astronomical; a cappuccino was about 8 pounds. The hotel is considered expensive but worth it for the luxury.
