Swim-up Rooms & Private Pools in United Arab Emirates

I was staying in a 3 bedroom apartment with Private Pool. Everything was perfect. 10/10 I moved to Family Apartment 3 Bedroom, I would rate that 8.5/10. Rest, everything was perfect. I would recommend anyone this property. The housekeeping 'Mohammed Junaid' was Excellent.

We have a enjoyable experience stay in 3Bedroom with private pool sea side view and we plan to book again for the next company teambuilding. Special mention to Sir Angelo, Artur he is very accomodating and very professional customer service, he make sure that we enjoy and satisfied during our stay at the hotel.

Wonderful hotel - the location and the staff make it amazing! We upgraded to the 3-bedroom apartment with a private pool and the money was well worth it. The only issue we had during our stay was the amount of pigeons that poo on the balcony and in the pool. However - a call to housekeeping got that sorted quickly. The breakfast at the hotel was wonderful. The staff make it a fabulous experience. They are very accommodating and helpful. There are a lot of food options just outside the elevator, and also shopping. Out the front of the main reception is the Marina Tram which is really helpful to get to Marina Mall or if you want to link to the main train system, however taxis are plentiful and cheap. Our housekeeping team of M:R Madhv, Dan Bahadher and Reshma did an amazing job of looking after us - always clean with plenty of towels, some days they were made into animals :-) Thank you. I would stay here again.

Great location. Spotlessly clean apartment - thank you Ujjal and Yubaraj for all your hard work. Staff all friendly, helpful and polite. Pools - clean, water warm, lovely towels and great pool life guards.Close to the beach. Hope to return next year.

Fab location just a quick external lift and you are at the walk for restaurants and bars. Both pools were nice and very welcome in the heat, the back pool having a view of the wheel(see pic)Half board was ok , breakfast plentiful, always seemed to be short of cereal bowls. Evening meals were ok, curries, pastas etc, deserts were good, especially the brownies. Our room was kept spotless by the cleaner. A special mention to Lawrence ,in the dining room. He was so polite and friendly, nothing was too much bother for him, management , you have a real gem there!

Very luxurious, beautiful hotel inside and out. It’s very French Versailles decor and is definitely a gorgeous place to stay. I had an ocean view room and the room was fantastic! You get free beach hats, free flip flops and a butler service on speed dial, this really is a great place to have a vacation. Beautiful large clean pool, the service is amazing, you get free smoothie shots, an attendant comes round and offers to clean your sunglasses. The beach is lovely, the grounds are gorgeous and the indoor pool is fabulous. Kids pool, so no screaming kids unless accompanied by an adult in the main pool and the life guards are super vigilant. I really enjoyed my stay, the staff were very attentive and the place is super clean and pleasing to the eye.

Stunning luxurious setting Beautiful pool and pool area Spacious rooms beautifully appointed

Here’s a refined 5-star review you could use for Raffles The Palm, Dubai: --- Our stay at Raffles The Palm was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the hotel impressed us with its stunning design, grand interiors, and attention to detail. The staff went above and beyond throughout our stay. They were warm, professional, and always ready to help with a smile. The dining options were outstanding, with a variety of cuisines that were all consistently delicious and beautifully presented. Breakfast in particular was a real highlight, with so much choice and top-quality ingredients. We also loved the range of activities and facilities available. Whether it was relaxing by the pool, enjoying the private beach, or spending time in the spa and fitness centre, everything was thoughtfully designed for comfort and enjoyment. From start to finish, everything was on point from the atmosphere, to the service, food, and activities. Raffles The Palm truly offers a luxurious and memorable experience, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone visiting Dubai.

The Hotel was total luxury with many of the decor and lounges finished in Gold trim. We had an Ocean View room which was incredibly spacious around 70 square feet with a balcony outside and views of the Ocean. Every member of staff went out of their way to ensure that you are totally happy and any request for room service or food was met with the best of attention. The Pool area was extremely welcoming and all sun-beds are under the shade as the temperatures were reaching 42 degrees during our trip.

You feel like royalty staying in this Emerald Palace. From the moment you pull up till you depart, it’s the best hotel experience in Dubai. The service was superb with every service provided. The club rooms were immaculate with crystal chandeliers over your bed. They provided sandals, beach hat and a cute bag for the beach and pool area too. Each balcony had sun umbrella if it’s too sunny. It’s like the Versailles of Dubai

The new property is very nice. Recommend to allocate families not on the side for the adults only pool. It was a long walk for us to the family pool. Splash pad was amazing. Unfortunately to crowded and people are wearing all sort of corion dress which shouldn’t be allowed. The F&B at the pool were very limited. It was not possible to order a burger and drink at the pool. On check out day, the receptionist tried overcharging us for the late check out. That was not nice! I don’t mind paying a reasonable amount for a late check out but we were quoted a higher rate vs our room night rate. Apart from this, we had an amazing stay and would come back if we can have a burger and drink at the pool near the splash’s pad. The crows are annoying in all outdoor F&B terraces. The teams at the pools were not able to inflate a kids water toy with air. We had to go to the shops in the lobby which was little annoying. Best regards to GM Rene Egle and good luck in your new mission

Not first time in JA ( Lake, Beach, Palmtree..) The best customer service and all people who is working! The best food in Dubai! ( restaurant 81) of talking about Lake Hotel. The people who makes desert- you are angel of cakes 🙂 such a choice! Tasty! Design! All fruits ! Kids club - my son running there . ( if you stay HB and ALL- kids club free in BB - 50 aed per 2 hours) Great pool and have pool for adults only.

Amazing location. You can use the facilities of the adjacent hotel/resorts as well. So many pools, activities and restaurants to choose from. Rooms are big and clean. Our room was facing the pool. The breakfast at restaurant 81 was amazing. The spread is quite large. Wide variety of options. It was refreshing to see glass bottles in our room rather than plastic bottles.

Extremely friendly staff providing a exceptional client experience (porters, reception, housekeeping, restaurants, pool bar - everyone), very nice rooms and pools, soulbeach is a great beachclub

Having been to some of the top resorts in Dubai, I will rate JA, Jebel Ali as one of the best in Dubai. The Beach: this is probably my favorite beach in a resort. The decked view, water quality, coconut & palm trees are like nowhere else. The view is just too good from the pool (near beach volleyball area). Greenery: Another major plus. The place is so naturally green! We walked around the massive property at night and the amount of trees we passed across is just massive. Golf course view: 50+ acres.. amazing view & if you play golf, nothing like it. ( make sure you book atleast room with this view or better & nothing less. you'll end up seeing deserted side!) Great restaurant options: Good spread, quality & very caring staffs (mostly from Srilanka, liked how they were so attentive.. particularly Ratnish Kudnekar from Kinara & Rizwan, Sujith & Biken from 81) live music during buffet was a new experience!). Buggy driver Raja was also super kind & helpful. Other major positives include Swimming pool, food spread & quality, room size (huge!!) fun facilities for kids, outdoor play zone (Mini golf, TT, etc), made our trip one of the memorable staycation experiences. Obviously, Highly highly recommended.!

the location makes it a very nice place to scape from the city. the private pool in the rooms is a very cool thing to have. the rooms are big, Ahmed and Mina are very nice and respectful.

the location , private pool and the privacy at the beach I just also need to write words of thanks to staff and mainly to Miss Nansy for a lot of help and pleasure of well come and support

Family friendly, amazing villa with private pool, staff were very friendly and hopeful. Definitely recommend this amazing place which has privacy and your own beach to enjoy

Tha atmosphere in the island and the villa with private pool.

This place is for people who want to reconnect with nature. It's a place to unwind and relax. Villas are facing the beach that is vast and pretty. Greenery is full of life with Arabian deers and birds flying above. There is also a private pool with each villa.

Stayed here on a 2 night stopover this was our 2nd visit to this hotel staying at the Royal club we were on the 5th floor which was ideal for us as the Royal Club private pool was on this floor the afternoon tea was lovely as were the canopies the food and alcoholic beverages were free flowing your glass was never left empty before a member of staff would replenish you drink there was a good choice at breakfast and thank you Lynn for remembering my tomato juice which I mentioned the previous evening only had one small problem which was quickly resolved by the food and beverage manager Mr Nickolas therefore a big thank you we will definitely return next year

I stayed at this property for 7 nights. It is close to the airport and as I missed the hotel shuttle walked to the hotel (a little bit complicated by road works). Booked a M-Club room and was pleased to be upgraded to a Royal Club room thanks to Arslan at the check-in. The Royal Club is a 8 story building just outside the main hotel. The room and bathroom are big and stylish modern with an extra large king size bed and jacuzzi bath. Separate dressing which is nice. The Club lounge is almost the whole lobby with enough and comfortable seating. Food selection for breakfast and happy hour is sufficient but not exceptional. The wine choices were good but not great. Afternoon tea is, I think, somewhat better than other properties. Although there are multiple pools around the main property, we used the roof pool on the 5th floor of the Royal club as my wife swims 2km daily and the other pool (for swimmers) was crowded. Friendly staff as usual in Dubai. I cannot rate the main hotel but what I saw (rooms and M-club lounge) seemed somewhat dated. Anyway, we had a great stay!

Lovely hotel, has a lot of things to do within the complex and has many pool areas. My personal favourite is the latter one as it’s tucked away out back with less people and a pool bar so you don’t have to come out of the pool. Had a nice jacuzzi in room but it didn’t work too well as it kept draining water when it was filled up. The dinning area by reception is very open and spacious, service is very prompt and attentive even during happy hour times. Looked after well by numerous of particular Nang, Lynn, Dau, Sanjeeta. Only thing if I had to mention is that, lounge food selection, isn’t really much on offer of choice, you are stuck in the hotel as there isn’t much around the surrounding areas without a car, but otherwise a great starting location after a long flight for a day or two. Thank you for the hospitality.

A special mention about the best, -Iziu, Sanjeeta, ensures your best comfort at lounge & takes care as a family member. -Sanjeeva, a very good all-rounder, you'll see him everywhere supporting each other. -Adarsh, Sankyutha, once they get you, they makes sure you'll never get boring with your breakfast despite being on a long stay. -Pradeep, ensures the room is made up asper your needs. -Prajwal, gets what you need in a flash. -Sanjeeta, always smiling and saves you from a bad day. Apart from these Amazing people you have around 18 restaurants serving delicious Lebanese, Indian, Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Mexican, Spanish, Italian, English, American & Seafood around to keep your taste buds craving with live music and dance shows, you can always find a place to keep yourself busy with a poolside bar, gym, spa, sauna and multiple pools. For shopping you have gift & watch stores and to reboot you can find a small cafe and a bar around the lounge area. Overall, I enjoyed a nice family experience during my long stay, thank you Le Meridien Dubai Hotel & Conference Center - Al Garhoud, lived and loved your hospitality😍 - Kiran M

Good services and people is very attention. My room is clean.Himanshu is very professional.pool vew is very good .my free time i am seeting in loby area . Room out window side Swing pool is good vision

Just returned from a fantastic stay at One&Only The Palm, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. The staff were exceptional, incredibly friendly, warm, and always ready to help with a smile. From check-in to poolside service, they made us feel truly welcomed and looked after. The food was a standout – Zest served some of the best meals we had during our trip, and 101 was equally impressive with both the setting and the cuisine. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to try Stay as it’s closed on Mondays – something to keep in mind when planning dinner reservations. A special shoutout to the lifeguard from Sri Lanka, who was not only attentive and professional but genuinely lovely to chat with. He really added a personal touch to our poolside experience. One small downside – the pool was slightly dirty in corners at times, which was surprising given the overall high standards of the resort. And while we loved relaxing by the pool, we’d suggest the resort consider bringing in a hawk or similar bird deterrent – a crow stole my earbuds while we were swimming! Rooms were exceptional and beautifully designed. Overall, though, this is a truly beautiful and peaceful retreat. We’re already looking forward to coming back.

We have Just returned from a wonderful memorable stay the One and Only the Palm the hotel is outstanding if your looking for a relaxing beautiful hotel this is the one it’s so intimate and friendly set in wonderful grounds and gardens , The staff can’t do enough for you everyone is friendly professional and happy The rooms are amazing there are plenty of restaurants serving first class food with lots of choice it was hard to pick which one to eat at. The swimming pools are huge beautiful sun beds with very attentive pool staff you want for nothing The general manager Mr Rahul Sharma holds a cocktail evening to introduce and himself and get to know his guests a lovely little touch which enables guests and staff alike to get to know one another. Our host Sujith looked after all our needs booking reservations etc , also a lovely lady on reception named Casey was so helpful and attentive to all our needs , all of the staff poolside in the restaurant’s and around the resort go above and beyond to make your stay an unforgettable experience. It’s a modern luxurious beautifully appointed resort which is set in peaceful tranquil surroundings you won’t be disappointed , a wonderful hidden gem We are looking forward to returning next year for another truly memorable stay

We've been 5 times now and just can't bring ourselves to stay anywhere else in Dubai. If you value tranquility and service rather than the usual chaos of Dubai, this is the place. We normally do 7 days here without even leaving, but after about 5 days you'll start to get a little bored with the food despite a very extensive array of menus. This is difficult to compete with, and see it as a positive. The Suite with Pool is nice, especially if you have youngsters who need to nap in the day. In typical O&O fashion they don't market this very well, which is fine by me. What you probably don't know is they built an entirely new, huge pool (adult only) over the water, which has a combination of beds and seating along with a full bar. That makes it the 3rd pool at this resort(!), and you barely see anyone else as a result. Bliss.

My husband and I consider OOTP to be our second home. For 13 years in a row, we have been returning to our favorite spot. OOTP is an excellent property, it is a resort with 95 rooms in total including beach villas with stunning views of the Palm. What also makes the stay so special is the tailor-made service and the staff. They do their best to look after the guests and ensure the service is top class unlike the huge resorts where you need to walk to your room and wait for service to get what you need. In this resort your requirements are fulfilled with out hassle. We spend our days pool side at the main pool. In the company of the Recreation Manager, Tharindu who runs the department superbly. Ved, Mahesh and their team are incredible and are a credit to the One&Only brand. The quality manager Mr. Cue walks around the area which is not something you see in other hotels. He ensures the quality of the brand. Since I do not know all of the names, The majority of staff have foreign names and remembering just one is quite difficult. However, all the staff are friendly from the lobby doorman up to the restaurant and even the housekeeper who was cleaning our room The newly appointed manger at Zest, Hassan who we knew previously from101 is the ultimate professional restaurant manager who brings ambience, style and flair. Huge thanks to Andrew and Ian our hosts and everyone who has contributed towards making our stay so fantastic.

I had have the pleasure of returning once again to this stunning property. Repeat clients tend to spend their days around one of the three pools in the very capable hands of Tharindu, Ved and Mahesh, who cater to our every need, with grace, friendliness and a huge welcoming smile. I have been assisted as usual by my wonderful Host, Noushad, who with his organisational skills and expertise makes my vacation an amazing experience. In Zest, Hassan has brought warmth and professionalism, he has created a similar atmosphere as he did in 101, which he previously managed and established as one of the best restaurants in Dubai. All of the staff in Zest are a credit to O&O especially Kule and Izza. The Lounge Bar is expertly run by Faye, a rising O&O star, who has grown into the role and will continue to do so. I have had the pleasure of using Room Service which is overseen and Managed by Pritesh, who has done a marvellous job catering to my every need. It is impossible not to mention Kingsley, Abdul and Janna as incredible members of staff, plus the unsung heroes of O&O The Palm, which is the Housekeeping Department, my gratitude must go to Maria & Kapil who looked after my room and also to Shariff who for many years has kept the pool area absolutely spotless, he is a happy, jovial and hardworking character. Thank you O&O team!

Impressive, opulent, elegant, understated luxury. We were taken straight to our suite, greeted with roses, champagne, strawberries, chocolates, fruit and balloons. When shown around our suite, we had been upgraded and had our own pool, amazing. The main pool area was very impressive, water fountains, jacuzzi area in the pool with sun beds, swim up bar. Smoothie, ice cream bar around the pool. Good breakfast selection. Villamore restaurant was very good, fresh food, they also did the food around the pool. Staff and service were outstanding, certain members of the front of house, reception and Villamore team helped make our stay particularly special. Would stay again. Highly recommend a visit.

I had such a wonderful time at Villamore Beach Pool Club in Kempinski The Palm. The atmosphere is effortlessly chic yet relaxed, with stunning views of the Palm and a stylish Mediterranean-inspired setting. The pool and beach area are beautifully maintained, offering the perfect balance between comfort and luxury. The food was fresh and flavorful, with a great variety of Mediterranean dishes and refreshing drinks to enjoy by the pool. The service was also excellent—attentive without being intrusive, making the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. Whether you’re looking to unwind by the water, savor delicious bites, or just enjoy a vibrant yet laid-back vibe, Villamore is definitely a place worth visiting.

Excellent and friendly staff. Good facilities around the pool & beach areas (pool bar, snacks,bbq and towels provided for sun loungers). A car or taxi is needed as it takes around 10 minutes to get off the palm into dubai.

The pool staff was one of the best pool stuff I’ve ever worked with. There were really amazing helpful and generous. Specially Abdul and the other guy I can’t remember his name they were amazing

Outstanding hotel and overall experience….probably the best hotel we’ve experienced and we have stayed in all the main chains in Dubai. We normally stay at the Atlantis royal or Jumeirah beach hotel but the overall experience here at Kempinski was actually better. We had a 2 bed suite which was amazing. Spacious and all the amenities anyone could need. The hotel is in a brilliant location . We did Watersports etc easily. The swimming pool is ace. Aside from all this though, what makes this hotel stand out is the staff. They can’t do enough for you. They are just superb, every one of them. The personal touches and service received is just so special. The little things like speaking to the the kids and making conversation with them is so nice. A special mention to Ahmed Adel the night manager who is just excellent and Sophie (I think) who checked us in. A really personal check in experience. When my kids say this is one of the best hotels they’ve stayed at and want to come back , that tells you everything! Can’t wait to come back

Good value for money. Pablo was a great help, very accommodating, and all smiles. The private pool, view, the breakfast, and specially the service was spectacular.

This was the first time experiencing full service private pool villa. Please got and try it for yourself. This defines what a getaway should be!

i like this resort .. the privacy is the best thing there if you are going as family and looking for private pool

Wish we would have stayed longer! We got to ride camels to a perfect sunset with two bottles of champagne! Followed by dinner in the desert! Absolutely the best dinner we had in Dubi! Wow! Moon light views! Chef was amazing enough food for 10 we were a party of 4! Staff was over the top helpful friendly, rooms were huge! Private pool with wildlife walking by! The birds were so sounds you heard all over the 500 Acres! Absolutely wonderful! Will Be back for much longer stay! May weather was perfect

It was an amazing experience in the middle of the deserts. There are animals (Arabian Oryx, gazelle, for instance) who are walking around. So authentic and unforgettable experience. Check in was done by Akshay. Very friendly and helpful. The room is just perfect. We had a room with a private pool which is heated naturally. Amazing experience. We also had a SPA treatment - Relaxing massage with Puja - fantastic! It relaxes all your muscles. Breakfast was very tasty. Wandy took a good care of us. Thank you to all team. Will be back again

While I did enjoy my stay I was very disappointed that the al hadera diner buffet and show was closed. Unfortunately due to school for our kids we are only able to travel in summer and we were surprised to find out on arrival that it was closed. Additionally the new pool policies are not family friendly the pool to the left was changed to adults only and closes later than the pool on the right which closed at 7 I would suggest as a guest who has been there 4 years in a row is to perhaps have the pool remain open later for all guest especially in the desert where day swimming may be limited in summer and there are also limited activities. Keeping the pool open til 10pm. This is my humble opinion as your guest and someone who has reffered hundreds of people to your hotel.

This property is a must when you visit Dubai. This was our second time here and we absolutely loved it. My only complaint would be that the first time we visited the pool was open until midnight which was unbelievable. However, the hotel is now under new ownership and the pool closes at 8:00pm during the week and I believe 10pm during the weekend. I highly recommended that the hotel revisit keeping the pool open late at least during the summer months in Dubai

We splashed out for my wife 50th birthday and got a 2 bedroom pool villa in the desert and we were not disappointed! The check in experience was a little confusing but once completed we were taken to our villa by golf buggy and were instantly impressed by the Vila itself and the desert surroundings. The villa was one of the most unique places we have stayed, we felt like we were in our own private desert and made the most of the pool, sun loungers, terrace and fire pit area in the evening. We had dinner in the roof top restaurant which was excellent and the atmosphere and staff made it a relaxing and special evening. Breakfast the following day was again excellent but a little busy at times and in hindsight we should have gone for the in room option to continue our relaxing experience in the villa. Only one small issue was waiting for golf carts to and from our Villa which sometime took 15 to 20 mins. To be fair we can’t comment on all the general hotel facilities as we spent the majority of our time there in our Villa but we would fully recommend splashing out if you can on a villa for a special and unique experience in an amazing setting and villa.

Fantastic service and very well designed resort. The pools were great and the service around this area was first class with towels, water and snacks delivered the minute you sat down on a pool lounge, plus great bar service whenever needed. The rooms were very comfortable and the overall design of the resort was great - we took many photos!!!

A lovely, peaceful hotel if you’re looking to get away from the city. The Adult Pool was a key feature and Jimmy at the pool bar was excellent as were the breakfast staff. The Garden Terrace room was not as luxurious as I had expected sadly although the time of year did affect this also (early sunsets, mosquitos). Overall a nice, boutique hotel.
