When we arrived our seafront room was not available so they offered us a free buffetstyle dinner as an apology and we stayed in one of the non seaside rooms. Can happen. The next night we moved into the seaside construction zone. Right across from the resort they are buildig the Jeleb Ali Palm island and it goes on all night long......all night long. You go to bed and wake up to the sounds of construction trucks sirens. Holiday bliss.....? The hotel's response was some people are not bothered by it and we mention it on our website. So if you don't mind construction noise all night long or the feeling that you are an idiot for not knowing that Dubai is under construction for the next 5 years then the Palm Tree Court is the place to be. Funny the next palce we stayed in Dubai was an oasis of luxury and lack of construction noise

This is a wonderful hotel. Compared to the main Jebel Ali Hotel the facilties and the rooms were well above par. The staff were first class and attentive and when I arrived and throughout my stay, I felt I was a superstar and if travelling from England I will always stay in this hotel.

As a teenager who went with her parents I have to say it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life (the whole 17 years of it).

When we arrived we were met by pleasent staff who welcomed us all in a friendly manner and made us feel truly comfortable, we were offered a complementary fruit drink which was gorgeous!

Originally we were booked in as bed and breakfast and to just share one room between us however as the hotel was not full at that time we were upgraded to half board and I was given a seperate room which was great for all of us.

We were took to are rooms by a buggy and arrived to spotless rooms which had the biggest beds I have ever seen, lots of storage space and lovely bathrooms... essential for any girls beauty routine.

We again recieved a complementary fruit bowl which was very pleasent.

The first evening we went to the white orchid where the fruit was nice, however once we had been to the buffet the next night we continued to dine their as the quality was just as good and there was a different selection every night.

There was a range of activites to take part in if staying on the resort especially watersports. All the staff were extremly engouraging even when I attempted water skiing and failed miserably they kept up with the humour and ended up giving me a free ride on the speed boat instead :)

The staff were also helpful about all types of day trips avaliable to do and gave you plenty of information about them. We went to the wild wadi water park which was lots of fun, and a dinner cruise which was very posh! The shopping malls were close by and never have I seen a fair ground ride in a shopping centre before.

I treated myself to a spa session on the last day and never having had a massage before and feeling quite embrassed it was lovely. The steam, sauna and jacuzzi room was very private, all the staff made you feel comfortable and relaxed and again was provided with a free drink and fruit salad type kebab.

I would not recommend this resort for groups of young people looking to party simply because it wouldn't cater for you.
People who don't like heat because it is boiling hot- which I loved.

I would definitly recommend it to families, honeymoons, couple holidays, sophisticated young girl groups, and elderly.

I hope this has helped if you are thinking of taking your teenagers with you.

What makes this hotel special is the attention to detail. From our arrival, we were invited to relax in the spacious reception lounge, greeted with a cool drink and checked in by a charming receptionist who then took us by buggy to our sutie.

Suites are in small two storey units dotted around the fabulous gardens. This gives a feeling of space and privacy. We were fortunate enough to be on the upper floor with a view over the hotel’s perfectly manicured lawns to the beach.


Palm Tree Court has every facility and amenity you could wish for and nothing is too much trouble from the always obliging staff. From booking restaurants, sightseeing trips, taxis, shopping and comprehensive business services.

You want sports – it’s all here. Stables, marina, tennis, golf and even seaplanes. We were there only two days but it was obvious that the kids’ club is highly effective.

Palm Tree court and its facilities forms part of a larger complex and successfully integrates with the Jebel Ali Hotel next door. The food and service at the varied themed bars and restaurants that traverse the 2 residences are all first class and offer exceptional quality and variety. From formal French to traditional Italian with steak bars and Asian cuisine, there is food to suit all tastes.

You feel that you are in a little bit of peaceful heaven yet a 20 minute drive in the free shuttle bus and you are in the bustle of Dubai’s famous shopping malls.

At the suggestion of the concierge we visited the Jumana Desert Spectacular Show and Bateau Dubai, a dinner cruise on Dubai Creek. Both these evening dinner excursions are not to be missed and represented fantastic value.

The pool area and grassy lawns provided choice and space for sunbathers with attentive staff serving drinks and snacks all on hand. The beach was spotlessly clean and very well looked after.

Finally, we must give praise to the Spa. Having stayed at many 5 star resorts around the world the wellbeing facility at the Palm Tree Court was by far the best we had experienced.

Palm Tree Court goes the extra mile to provide a perfect resort for all tastes.
