One and Only Royal Mirage Arabian Court

Went to Dubai on 1 july for 10 nights, this will be my 6 trip in 2 years to the UAE. booked it with my respectiful company Value Added Travel, spoke a bloke name of Bobby babs, he recommened this hotel, told me that they had free nights with free half board, the hotel was a 5 star luxury hotel, trust me he was not wrong, flew with Emirates took my wife and my son 10 year old, did not know what to expect cause of my son, but when we got there fell in love with the hotel straight away. As we got there there welcoming was excellent, did... more

Could not fault this holiday in anyway apart from the building works at palm island opposite the hotel beach. This spoils the view from the beach but is only temporary and will probably look as grand as everywhere else when it is finished! I consider my standards to be very high and this exceeded my expectations. If there was something I could add I would like tea making facilities in the room [Typically Britsh!] Whilst mentioning typically british, I am finding some of the reviews mentioning brits & Benidorm very offensive. The reviews... more

Just arrived from after a week and half at the One & Only Royal Mirage Arabian Court Hotel. Great Hotel with great Restaurants. Stayed at the Palace last year (the sister hotel)and the are both equally good. Definately recommend the half board option. Also look out for 3 nights + 1 night free deals as it makes the trip far better value for money. Staff are fantastic from Gihan our room valet to Sam the beach assistant to all the guys at Nina Rest't. Absolutely A++. The only downside I can think of is that it can get a... more

Our stay was 2 nights on the way back from the Maldives to UK, we wanted to stay elsewhere but left it late and took the agents advice that the Arabian Court was a gem, I asked why it was so cheap if its a gem ........ Picked up from the airport and taken to the door perfectly, ushered in and they gonged our arrival (lovely) then we checked in with perfect staff in an impressive building - THEN it hit me, a young lady (looked UK and about 18) walked through reception with a blown up inflatible crocodile, I was amazed, then all sorts of... more

Arrived just after midnight to a very warm and professional welcome. Refreshing drink and cold towels. Signing in and details given very quickly which is just what you need after a long flight and straight to the room. Deluxe room - very nicely appointed and furnished - spotlessly clean. Only downside is view is distorted by large trees and the new metro station to the right. We were on a half board plan and had some concerns as to how much we would get in credit but this was no problem. Choice of restuarants and menus fantastic and... more

Hotel can be sumed up in one word. Beautiful. It is terribly relaxing and welcoming. It is one of the trendiest properties on jumeira beach as well. The staff made an effort to know you by name and enjoyed having a chat to the guests - which i believe is a nice thing for them and us! - I was on half board and found the food to be of a very high quality, the room service was also very good. I recommend Nina resteraunt and from my experience the eateries in the Arabian Court were better than the sister hotel The Palace. The quality... more

I loved Dubai, thought that the One&Only Arabian Court was brilliant and if I ever went back anywhere twice, it would be here. Or Hawaii... But, anyway. Here's what I loved: A) The tranquility - sure, they were building the new metro station, but I could only see, not hear it. B) The reception - cold drinks and cold flannels = most welcome. C) The buffet breakfast in The Rotisserie - so delicious and so much choice. D) The exclusivity of the hotel, but the fact that it is completely unstuffy. E) That there are... more

my son and i stayed at the one and only in dubai for only 3 short days, but it was beautiful...the room was a deluxe..nice, a view of the grounds and pool...the staff was very friendly, helpful...it was a lovely stay..much too short...they suggeseted some great tours..one i would recommend is the desert safari tour..a really fun outing.

Nothing wrong with the physical structure at all. The hotel, the grounds and the beach were fine. The sea wasn't particularly clean, but then there's so much building going on that expecting more would have been unreasonable. The rooms were very comfortable and regularly attended. We felt let down by a lack of local knowledge amongst the staff. When you're paying proper 5-star prices, you expect good local knowledge and you don't expect to struggle to get it. Nobody helped us make the most of our stay. Examples: the staff had a... more

I would not pick this hotel, Service Attitude is not up to standard, and not on one encounter but multiple satff encounters.
