The property is classified as 5 stars. From my experience it is at best 4stars. Therefore my low rating in comparison to any 5 stars property in Dubai. Plus some points I consider as rip off like an very average breakfast around 40usd PER PERSON or charging for a bucket of ice or charging for a checkout at 2 pm

I recently stayed at the Royal Central Hotel and Resort – The Palm, and it was amazing! The views are stunning, and the staff is super friendly. The rooms are spacious and beautifully decorated, and the amenities, like the infinity pool and beach access, are perfect for relaxation. I highly recommend it for a luxurious getaway!

Had stayed before for its peace and quiet but sadly the Saturday seems to have changed and had the Poolside DJ blasting music through single glazed windows If you are planning a relaxing Saturday afternoon don’t go as the poolside live DJ will definitely spoil your quiet planned afternoon Otherwise the hotel is excellent Staff are very helpful and prompt in serving Duty manager was understanding regarding the music but sadly not much could be done I suppose the hotels are trying to keep pace with nearby hotels with live DJs The hotel is very family oriented so good atmosphere
