Rough Guide
"Best features are the extensive grounds and beach, complete with three larger-than- average pools, perhaps the most attractive of any of the marina hotels."
Time Out
"Apparently the hotel choice of many Premiership footballers, including John Terry and Peter Crouch, with WAGs in tow, the Royal Méridien is one of the older beach resorts you’ll find in town."

"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."

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."
