“Truly exceptional”

Residence & Spa at One&Only Royal Mirage

Jun 30, 2008
6/6 found this review helpful

After much deliberation (too much choice in Dubai), I decided to book a room here for a romantic long weekend with my fiance- what a good decision! We booked through Leading Hotels of the World, just US$295 a night.

We arrived in Dubai at 6.30am, and were quickly whisked away in our prebooked hotel transfer car, a 7 series BMW, with mineral water and an informative driver who pointed out the sights. The whole city is a building site, then we turned into the sanctuary of the Residence, where you are surrounded by lush greenery and birdsong. Seated in reception by 7.30 am, with a cool towel and a glass of sparkling grape juice, we were told our room was ready (check-in isn't until 2pm officially) and we were upgraded to a suite!

It was fabulous, very spacious, sitting and dining area with french doors out onto our terrace and a view towards the pool, and a huge bedroom and bathroom. 2 flat screen TV's, fresh flowers and fruit, and Moulton Brown toiletries. Wow! Every time we left the room, housekeeping replaced our towels and toiletries, and we got fresh sheets daily too.

The complimentary breakfast was delicious, fresh fruits and juices, bread and pastries, cereals, meats and cheeses and a variety of cooked items, including pork. We also received complimentary afternoon tea, sandwiches, cakes and sweets, all beautifully presented. With all that food, we weren't really hungry in the evening, but we did make it Tagine one night, which was lovely. Otherwise, we tended to head over to the Rooftop bar, for cocktails and mezze. Drinks weren't expensive at all, same as here in the UK, and between 5 and 7 they have happy hour which is half price.

The pool area and beach are beautiful, and having a suite meant we were allowed to use the 'reserved' loungers under the pavillions by the pool and beach, a little more private and shaded, as it was 44 degrees while we were there. We were provided with copious amounts of cool water, fresh fruit and cold towels, but the beach was definately the better choice, as the breeze kept you a little cooler, and I found it easier to walk into the warmish sea than the 'refreshing' pool. The whole area is quite private as the Residence hotel and pool are for Residence guests only, there is no access for Palace or Arabian Court guests.

Turndown at night saw roses and treats left by the bed, sweets and small cakes, as well as a proverb which could double as a bookmark.

The staff are absolutely lovely, friendly and nothing to too much trouble. On our final day, we asked for 5.30 wake-up call, and it's the first time my wake-up call has ever been accompanied by a tray of tea and basket of pastries.

We can't fault the Residence, it was wonderful and we can't recommend it highly enough.

This was the second time staying at the One and Onely. The first time we went we stayed at the Palace in a Gold Club Suite which was Very good being in the gold club you get all the ammenities such as concierge on the same floor as you a sort of little restaurant that always has arabic food. And beverages. The room was very good very big. Walk into the lounge are and dining area and there a big double door through into the bedroom with a 4 poster bed. another t.v and dvd player. 2 bathrooms one with a toilet and sink and the other with a hugh bath big marble bathroom, also a walk in shower . walk in wardrobe. all our clothes were unpacked for us. big balcony. Room service second to none. The arabian court the following year was even better which we thought would be hard to beat. We stayed in a Falcon suite, which is alot bigger and better, again huge lounge, desk area huge seperate bedroom and massive master bathroom. Balonie with a sofa very big 1 of 2.
staying in this you get your own cabbana by the pool. Restaurants all are great in all three hotels in the resort. Nina which is the Indian and Ozone which is tekin yaki and modern is also very good all al acarte and service is great. Pools are very big with palm trees in the middle and the beach is like in the Maldives. 10/10

“Better than we remembered”

Residence & Spa at One&Only Royal Mirage

Jun 22, 2008

This is the second time we have stayed at the One & Only and this time was just as good as the last. On arrival we got upgraged to a suite which was a fabulous surprise.

I would recomend spending your days at the beach rather than round the pool. The beach is much quieter and the beds are spaced out so you do not feel you are on top of the people next you. This hotel still has the nice little touches of staff coming round the beach to fill up your water glassed, offer fresh fruit and 'clean your sunglasses'.

The food was great completely faultless. I would recommend this hotel for a splash of luxury.

“Best Holiday Ever”

Residence & Spa at One&Only Royal Mirage

Jun 4, 2008

We booked a family holiday to Dubai, not knowing what to expect on arrival The One and Only Royal Mirage was stunning....
The rooms were ready for us on arrival ie 8.30am with 3 tired children this was a blessing...
The Staff were so helpful and polite yet not in your face...
The pool staff were second to non excellent with the children..
The food was excellent and resonably price... Cold water was available through out the day, fresh fruit and cold face flannels available all day at no charge

IF YOU HAVE EVER CONSIDERED TAKING THE FAMILY TO DUBAI THEN BOOK THIS HOTEL YOU WON'T REGRET IT !!!!!!!

“Overrated”

Residence & Spa at One&Only Royal Mirage

May 30, 2008
0/2 found this review helpful

This is an ok hotel. It feels like a big hotel as all three hotels are run together. The restaurants are ok but pretty boring as they all have 'interantional' food...which is pretty much all frozen and tastes of very little even if it looks good when it arrives at the table. The sea is also very disappointing with all that building in the sea bringing a lot of soil and dust in the shallow waters.
