We stayed a week at the Taj and have been blown away by the hospitality of all the staff at the hotel. A slight hiccup when checking in, had meant we were booked into the 4th floor smoking room; the smell of the corridor and inside the rooms were not the most pleasant. However, a quick word with staff and we were changed to a different floor and room as soon as possible; alongside a complimentary upgrade to apologise for the confusion! As we were celebrating a birthday and anniversary, in our room was a wonderful surprise of edible welcoming gifts that had been catered to our dietary requirements in advance The food at the Taj is on another level. Chef Anoop has been absolutely amazing in working with our strict dietary requirements and making sure we were happy throughout our stay. He went to so much trouble during his busy schedule, and we very much appreciated him and his wonderful talented team of chefs. They are all incredible at what they do!! They are the reason we will be coming back next year Another mention has to go to Sudhir at Palm Kitchen. What a wonderful person … his welcoming demeanour, pure kindness and great hospitality meant we loved coming back again and again. He deserves a promotion that is for sure! Staff at the pool were great. They immediately saw us from afar looking for a cabana and approached us straight away and helped us find one. Before we could put our belongings down, staff had already come with fresh towels and water bottles. Amazing! I wish I had space to mention everyone, and apologies if I have missed some staff out. Overall, great food and service at ALL restaurants , great poolside service, wonderful housekeeping and great rooms. See you next year Taj!…

Hotel's Favourite
We have just spent a fabulous week at this lovely hotel. From our first entrance into the stunning and wonderfully scented reception area to checking out the service across this hotel was superb - nothing was too much trouble as many guests have previously stated. There are so many small details that make this hotel stand out, from the ice water bags, cold face towels and iced lollies provided by the pool to the customised room staging for any celebrations you may be having during your stay. Our daughter was turning eight and the bed was decorated with fresh rose petals and a beautiful chocolate cake provided too. I had only mentioned this in passing conversation, so was not expecting anything! The room was very comfortable, clean and spacious with a generous bathroom. The terrace was a great place to relax and watch the sunset / sunrise each day. The breakfast catered for any taste and the addition of gentle live music was an inspired touch. I would highly recommend going to the Nakheel Mall (15mins in a taxi) as it tends to be less busy that the Dubai / Emirates mall, plus the 'View from the Palm' attraction within the mall is stunning. It gives you a great insight into how the Palm was created and the view from the top is spectacular, especially at night. It seems almost unfair to name staff individually as they were all exceptional, however Fiona who worked around the pool area was delightful each day. We would like to thank everyone at the hotel for making our stay so memorable and as you can guess it comes highly recommended. …

This year has been our second time we stayed at Taj for our holiday and it has been undoubtedly wonderful. Staff are reliable and always willing to help. Special shout-out to Saleem who has provided wonderful service for the second time and Phobie at Roaring Rabbit who remembered us from our last visit and gave us a warm welcome. Thank you to all the staff at Taj. We have really enjoyed our time and will definitely recommend to friends and family. The Taj is a great place for couples and families as we have observed fantastic facilities for all ages. The Taj has perfect access to the beach with beach seats both sheltered and open sun beds always available. Some hotels charge guests to hire beach chairs or huts but the Taj have ample which are included in the service they provide at no extra cost. Additionally, the staff at Taj are always welcome wanting to do more to make the stay that much more special. …

The hotel is exceptionally amazing from all aspects. Excellent facilities, delicious food, polite staff and wonderful service. Check-in was so smooth, so was check-out too, you don’t even need to go to reception desk, they would come to you instead. Beds are so comfy and view is magnificent over the sea and Palm Jumeirah. Furthermore, I forgot my Chanel perfume in the room, and when they couldn’t find it for me, they sent someone all over the way to the mall to buy me a new one, this meant a lot to me. This kind of care truly reflects the wise management behind the scenes. Not to mention that the pool manager (a so gentle guy) also offered me a free drink after an irresponsible “Personal” behaviour by one of his staff members, all other staff were extremely professional and polite. Keep up the great work guys.…

I have to say from the moment we walked into reception to check in it was luxury the whole way. The staff are amazing and nothing was too much, the room was lovely maybe a bit more storage but ok. And the food was always excellent especially the street food on the Friday, definitely not to be missed. Only thing that let it down was that no drinks were included in the HB package only water which was a bit disappointing especially when we also had the club access. But that’s a minor thing. In short we will definitely be back.

Arrived at Taj on the 10.09.23 to celebrate my 65th birthday, quilety alone, from the minute of my arrival, the staff was amazine. There was one staff member who did not just went the extra mile to help me, Mr. A. Jana, in my eyes was the front desk gem, so helpful and supportive right through my five days stay. Beautyful hotel, friendly and helpful staff, and fablous food. I really enjoyed my stay. Please pass on my thanks and appreciation to this beautiful soul, Mr A Jana, a wonderful human being. Thany you Taj, for your fantastic service. From Room 308 from the 10.09.23 - 14.09.23.

Arrived late evening from UK. Check-in was efficient, welcome drink and necklace provided, after a brief explanation of the hotel we were taken to our room with in 15mins of arrival with our luggage following shortly after. Room - Sea view with club lounge access, highly recommend combining with the half board option. See hotel website for 360 views of rooms. Club Lounge - Open 10am - 10pm - Hot and cold drinks and snacks available all day, cocktails/ spirits/ wines available 5pm - 7pm. We dined in all restaurants. Palm Kitchen - Lots of variety and choice, buffet style, for breakfast and dinner. Roaring Rabbit - Pub grub theme to the menu, good food in comfortable surroundings. Raia - Rooftop bar and lounge on the sixth floor - Serving Lebanese fusion dishes. Varq - Fine dining Indian restaurant - Not included in the half board package but 150 Dirham credit towards the meal per person is given, highly recommended, we chose the exotic sampler menu and would highly recommend this, with special mention to our two servers Vyandra and Nancy who were very attentive and explained all about the dishes. Spa - We indulged in the couples Indian aromatherapy massage (60 mins). Which gives access to the sauna and steam room before the massage. Tip - Look on the hotel website for any offers that may be available and pre book before you arrive to avoid disappointment. Gym - Well equipped gym with Technogym machines and weights. Poolside - Plenty of sun loungers available, poolside or on the beach, loungers are large and comfortable. The pool side crew provided excellent service with regards to laying out towels and providing plenty of drinking water in ice filled cool bags and the occasional cold flannel. A special mention to Suranga who went above and beyond to take care of us. Taxis - Easily obtained having the choice of the hotels taxis or regular local taxis, prices comparable with UK prices. We regularly used the hotel taxis, Babu was our regular driver who was very courteous and attentive. We was also fortunate to be given the complimentary use of the hotel limousine provided by the head concierge (apologies for forgetting his name) for our visit to Nobu at the Atlantis hotel. All staff are a credit to the hotel and never failed speak when passing. We would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone thinking of visiting…

My family and I have stayed at the Taj for 7 nights during September 2023. We returned after spending 7 nights in September 2022 and being blown away with the politeness of the staff for whom nothing is too much trouble. The restaurants all provide the most delicious food which can't be beaten on The Palm. The cleaning staff are so polite and always ask if we are happy with the service. During my stay this year I slipped and fell, within seconds I was being helped by the kind Spa representative, a manager and others. It seemed within minutes a nurse had been organized to look at my knee and a drink I had spilt replaced..I don't know your names but if you read this..Thank you for your help and an amazing stay! We will be back!! To the Taj recruitment department..well done on recruiting the best! …
