Dubai wasn’t originally part of our itinerary, but we were told if we stayed a couple of days it made a large difference to our air fares - a quick look on the trusty Melia app and Desert Palm was booked What an absolutely stunning hotel - if you’re a horse person this is definitely the place for you! The breakfasts were phenomenal and I don’t normally name staff in my reviews, but Nyi Min was incredibly attentive and an absolute asset to the hotel and deserves recognition We arrived after midnight due to flights, and the hotel was very accommodating having made contact in the app to alert them we would not be arriving until very late. We spent a full day by the pool relaxing which we did not anticipate, but the it was a very nice area to relax in and the chilled pool was very welcome! The niggly bits - truthfully my only criticism is the distance from anything - uber was about £17 each way (84AED) to the Burj Khalifa area, the airport was £40 (200AED) on arrival and £20 (100AED) on departure - we knew about the distance upon booking, but just for others If we find ourselves with a long layover in Dubai again, we will definitely be returning :)
