Review of Marriott Resort Palm Jumeirah – Highlights
- The Marriott hotel is located on Palm West Beach or as some people refer to it West Palm Beach Dubai. It is a beach strip on the right side of Palm Jumeirah facing Dubai Marina and Bluewater Island. The strip contains a few other hotels such as Fairmont Palm, Radisson Palm, Hilton The Palm as well as some of the best beach clubs and restaurants in Dubai. Located a short 5-10 minute walk across the street to the middle of the Palm trunk is the Nakheel Mall, a huge 4 story mall which also houses the St. Regis Palm hotel.
- The hotel is just 10-15 minute drive to anywhere else on the Palm as well as Dubai Marina or Mall of the Emirates. Likewise you are a 25 minute drive away to DIFC and Downtown Dubai. With a trip to and from the airport you are looking at 35 minutes end to end.
- The lobby of the hotel is grand and welcoming with large seating areas scattered throughout and a large glass opening towards the sea. The reception is located on the left side upon entering the hotel with a cafe along the back serving tea, coffee and cakes.
- The rooms in the hotel are spacious and well appointed with high quality fixtures throughout. Perfect for a beach hotel there is a sense of light and airiness around the property. The TVs have connectivity for YouTube and Netflix as well. See pictures below for a full visual walkthrough.
- Reusable sustainable glass bottles of water are abundant in the room which have replaced the plastic water bottles. You can request as many of these as you like and housekeeping will leave at your door or bring inside.
- The resort has a full size pool built lengthwise along the property with a built in bar in the middle as well as a shaded children’s pool and play area on the left side. The right side of the pool area has a lounge and seated bar.
- To access the beach guests need to walk down to the Palm West Beach promenade to get to the Marriott beach check in point (next to the Senor Pico Mexican restaurant) where an attendant will help you set up your sun bed with a towel and water. A cool feature is that all the attendant desks have lemon water, a selection of magazines, extra towels as well as and most importantly dispensers for sun lotion and alovera after sun creme.
Review of Marriott Resort Palm – Things to Note
- Self parking is currently only available to guests checked into the hotel with valet parking available for everyone.
- As a Marriott Resort, there is no lounge access for Marriott Bonvoy members included. However the hotel does have a gorgeous lounge on the 14th floor called M Lounge which serves breakfast, afternoon tea and snacks, as well as light bites and an open bar in the evening. There is also a grab and go section at the entrance which has chips, nuts, fruits as well as other rotating snacks to take away with you. The lounge has stunning views overlooking the marina and yachts passing by. The M Lounge is only available to paying guests that are booked in the M Lounge category rooms, suites or have chosen to pay for the access.
Review of Marriott Resort Palm – Tips
- There are plenty of benefits for Marriott Bonvoy members from upgrades, early check in, late check out, free high speed internet and more. As a Marriott elite member you can choose either 1,000 welcome points, a welcome amenity or daily breakfast. If you are staying more than one night, the best value would be the free daily breakfast for two.
- Ask for a direct sea facing room, the ones in the center of the hotel, as the rooms on either the left or right wing, from inside the room you will just face the opposite side. The best views of the sea and stunning marina are from the center rooms. Of course the corner suites at either end of each floor of the wings have even more spectacular views as they are closer to the action!
