“A top notch Hotel with a few minor weaknesses”

Residence & Spa at One&Only Royal Mirage

4 of 5 stars
Richmond upon Thames
Apr 3, 2008
2/5 found this review helpful

there are numerous comments about this hotel on the web.
We - family of four - stayed there recently and a very short summary is as follows:

1.) Very high quality standard Hotel, nice rooms with a bit of arabic feeling, nice location as such.
2.) Very good selection of restuarants - i recommend the Indian Restaurant and the Rooftop place, just for the view and ambiente
3.) Lots of employees - we were looking for a chess partner for my son - ther was an Indian chap right there who played very well.

Her are a few shortcomings

- Noise on th beach stemming from the Palm; i could hear it also in the room, but if you keep doors shut, its gone. THIS WILL BE THERE FOR ANOTHER YEAR OR SO.

- Overpricing - if you know that the average employee earns in a month as much as you spent on a room only a day, you can see why Dubai is a place to get rich (but for a limited few) - I suggest you have to disucss this with yourself, and this argument apllies pretty much to all places in the emerging markets...

- Size of the property - This leads to all kind of funnny stuff, like the chap at the reception trying to sell you a heli flifght with a company where he gets a bacschisch back, etc, etc - this is annoying.

- lack of environment - to leave the property, you need a taxi, noone walks around there; this is different at Madinat Jumeirah.

“an oasis of calm”

Residence & Spa at One&Only Royal Mirage

3/6 found this review helpful

beautiful hotel where everything is calm luxe and service
the personel is perfect never doing to much or too less always good tempo
here you feel at home
the deco is elegant and cosy in arabic style
the location in front of palm island is no problem with the construction going on you heard a little the noise more on the beach but it is not disturbing
the suite (n 26) we have was spacious give on the garden with a nice terrasse short walk from the restaurant and the pool and the reception
part B and C are the closest from the reception we where in the B the C has more sun
tthe hotel has is own pool restaurant and a part on the beach reserved for the hotel guests only
the hotel is and oasis of peace and caim perfect place to rest in the middle of crazy dubai i will not advise it for family young people
the hamman is great most of the team is marocain and tunisien
also very efficient and nice
the hotel is very special for dubai where all hotels are biggers with more action more attraction almost like a little city
we loved every day of your stay have no negative comment and already plan to go back
a lot of good resto in dubai also in the other hotel of the royal mirage
tagine is very good
outside try pierchic and indigo
renting a car with driver is the best solution when you go out for shopping visit or diner and they wait for you

“Luxurious and comfortable”

Residence & Spa at One&Only Royal Mirage

5 of 5 stars
Berkshire
Feb 16, 2008
5/5 found this review helpful

We struggled to get hotels for Feb half term and Emirates Tours recommended this place. It exceeded our expectations. The Residences are quiet, spacious and exclusive. Comfortable beds and nice bathrooms in the suites. You can wander over to the larger hotels on either side of the complex which have impressive foyers etc, but you can then return to your own oasis, away from the crowds. The service was faultless and we were treated to all sorts of lovely surprises. The spa is wonderful. The dining is superb and everything is immaculate. I am very fussy but even I couldn't find anything to criticise. A great place to relax and be pampered. I would like to return in future.
Even the building work (on the Palm) close by did not mar our stay. There is low level background noise but I didn't notice it around the pool and gardens - it is however rather more obvious on the beach. If you have young children, you will probably end up using the pool at the adjoining Arabian Court complex ( a short walk away) as the pool at the Residences has a more of an adult only atmosphere. Even though it was half term, I think we were the only guests with children at the Residences, but we were made to feel welcome all the same.

  • This TripAdvisor Member:
    • Liked — everything - dining and the spa in particular
    • Disliked — I am struggling to think of anything. The nearby construction might annoy some people.

“What a special fiind”

Residence & Spa at One&Only Royal Mirage

Dec 1, 2007
2/3 found this review helpful

This was our first holiday with our 5 month old baby and what a special place. There are only 45 or so rooms, with half on the ground floors and the rooms lead out onto the gardens so are great for those with prams. The staff are first class; everything we wanted (and everything we didnt think about) was catered for by really nice people and this was one hotel where, having not tipped throughout the whole week, I left envelopes for all the staff who looked after us as a thankyou.

“Try the Al Qsar”

Residence & Spa at One&Only Royal Mirage

4 of 5 stars
England
Oct 28, 2007
2/5 found this review helpful

Stayed at the one and only for four nights after staying at the al qsar for six nights. Although this was a good 5* hotel it is not a patch on the al qsar. If you loved it here then you would love the al qsar even more. The al qsar's level of service and communication from the all the staff totally exceeds that of the mirage. Also the cleanliness of the hotel. The rooms are also more luxurious and more spacious with better bathrooms. At the al qsar you also have better food options with a wider range of quality restaurants, although the restaurants may be a little more expensive than the mirage the food quality makes up for it. My wife and i were on our honymoon and although we don't have children yet i noticed that both hotels had lots for children to do and on a saftey factor the pool at the al qsar had five lifeguards so they could see round all blind spots and the ones at the mirage only had one, and he was more intent on messing around with the children. Don't get me wrong the mirage is lovely hotel, but if putting two sets of tickets infront of me for both hotels i snap up the tickets to the al qsar in a flash. The mirage is obviously an older hotel and the scenery at the al qsar outclasses it.
