Mina A Review of Fairmont The Palm, Dubai

Excellent facilities: the gym is full of a variety of equipments - they have multiple treadmills, ellipticals, weight machines for different muscles, a lot of weights, etc. They also offer personal training for a price (not sure how much, I didn't ask). They have a sauna. The pool is great (there are actually two pools, one is more family oriented, one is for adults only). They have a kids water fountain play area as well. The hotel has access to a private beach with a life guard present during the day. They also have a foosball and ping pong table at the beach. The breakfast buffet has a lot of variety: from sweet pastry to pancakes and baked beans, to different kinds of cheese and Indian food, and cold cuts such as smoked salmon to fresh fruits and veggies. They offer fresh juice such as pineapple, watermelon, orange, and my favorite: apple+spinach+celery. The room service is excellent! The only problem is that they are a little bit slow in bringing us things when we call them (for example, when we request more coffee pods for the room, milk, water, or shampoo). Sometimes it takes more than half an hour after our call for them to bring the desired things. There is also a lot of construction going on here during our stay right now, so there's sometimes construction noise and the view is somewhat obstructed, but it is not blocking the access to the beach, which is excellent. The wifi connection is sometimes slow and as I was doing some work with my computer needing internet in my room during my vacation, it became a little bit frustrating sometimes. Showering is also a bit of a challenge: the water changes temperature very quickly in an unpredictable way, one minute you're burning and the next second you'd be freezing cold. The staff are very friendly. They also have a tourism desk. Overall, I am happy to be staying here! Would definitely recommend.
