Guest Reviews
Located at the end of Dubai Palm, Sofitel Dubai The Palm Resort & Spa boasts a beautiful and calm beachfront location with direct access to a beautiful beach. However, the hotel is quite far from the city center and nightlife spots and public transportation or shuttle services are not available. Taxis are a reasonable option to go around, but they can be scarce, especially at the top end of the Palm. While the hotel's facilities and views are stunning, some guests find the rooms facing the road noisy and the location of the hotel on the Palm Jumeirah can be challenging to leave due to terrible traffic. Nonetheless with its convenient location and beautiful views, Sofitel Dubai The Palm Resort & Spa is a great choice for a peaceful getaway.
