CONCLUSION

Staying at the Waldorf Astoria Dubai Palm Jumeirah is all about luxury. The chic and elegant design of the lobby and the rooms is very noteworthy. The friendliness of the staff and the willingness to be of help is obvious. As a Hilton diamond member, I got an upgrade to the a room with skyline view which was perfect. As a fan of branded toiletries, I was very happy to try their bath amenities from Salvatore Ferragamo 😍 The room was almost perfect although I would have loved to see more universal sockets especially beside the bed. As for the breakfast buffet, Mike and I were really impressed with the great food selection. And lastly, the private beach is lovely, with no high waves, unlike the one in the Hilton Dubai Jumeirah where we would stay the following day. To all the staff of Waldorf Astoria Dubai Palm Jumeirah, Shukran 🙏
