My stay at The Retreat Palm Dubai Mgallery By Sofitel was overall lovely and relaxing. The Club Lounge offered fantastic views and really good service, especially from Yoanna. The dining options catered skillfully to various diets, but I found the all-inclusive offerings a bit confusing at times. While I appreciated the clean facilities and attentive staff, I did notice some inconsistency in service that could use improvement.
Rooms

The rooms were spacious enough for a family of four, with comfortable beds and nice amenities. However, the layout could have been a bit better, especially when accommodating extra bedding.
Service

While some staff were incredibly attentive, I did encounter variability in service quality. Overall, though, most employees were friendly and helpful, especially in the main buffet restaurant.

The location is peaceful, great for a relaxing break, but slightly out of the way for exploring Dubai. Good taxi access to nearby attractions.
Dining

Dining options were impressive, with a huge variety of healthy and vegetarian choices. The breakfast buffet particularly stood out. That said, I think clearer communication around the all-inclusive options would enhance the experience.

The spa was a highlight, providing an excellent massage that truly helped me unwind. The pool and beach facilities were well-maintained and luxurious, but a little more shade would improve comfort for guests and staff alike.

My stay at The Retreat Palm Dubai was a wonderful experience overall, though there were a few bumps along the way. The hotel's setting on Palm Jumeirah provided a beautiful backdrop, and the rooms were modern and clean. However, I did encounter some noise from a nearby construction site, which was an unexpected downside. The beach and swimming pool areas were good, but the food options could definitely improve.
Rooms

The rooms were very modern, clean, and comfortable, featuring a lovely bathroom and superb views. However, I was disappointed to discover that the sea view came with a glimpse of a construction site nearby, which would have been helpful to know beforehand.

The hotel's location is stunning, right by the beach with serene surroundings. However, it's not very close to malls or other facilities, which means taxi rides into the city can add up quickly.

My stay at The Retreat Palm Dubai was a mix of beautiful moments and frustrating issues. The beach was simply stunning, with warm waters and a relaxing atmosphere. However, I faced challenges with the room service and dining options, which didn't always meet my expectations. Overall, while the location provided amazing views, the service could improve to match the hotel's potential.

The hotel's location on the Palm offered amazing views and a private atmosphere, but getting to central attractions took longer than I hoped, requiring a rental or taxi.
Dining

The dining experience was a bit hit or miss for my taste. I found the variety at breakfast decent, but lunch options when dining by the pool could get repetitive.

My stay at The Retreat Palm Dubai was a bit of a mixed bag. I really enjoyed the beautiful room I eventually got with a nice view, and the staff were mostly friendly and helpful. However, the overall vibe felt somewhat lifeless and the food was definitely underwhelming, especially for a place that promotes itself as a wellness resort. I had higher expectations for both the service and the dining experience.
Rooms

I ended up in a lovely room with a nice view after initially being placed next to a construction site. It was spacious and well-designed, but the noise from the adjacent area disturbed me at first.
Service

Most of the staff were very eager to help, but service could be slow at times. I did appreciate the housekeeping team for their attentiveness.
Location

The hotel is located far down the Palm, which offers peace but makes it a bit isolated. The beach access is great, but the surrounding construction can be noisy.
Dining

The dining options left a lot to be desired. The buffet was quite basic, and I often found the food lacking in quality and variety. It felt like I could cook better at home.
Facilities

The facilities were decent, but nothing extraordinary. The pool area was nice, but I struggled to find enough sun loungers to relax. The spa was good; I had a fantastic massage that was really relaxing.
