A review of the 15 finest hotels in Palm Jumeirah, featuring ratings for 5-star and 4-star establishments, and criteria for selecting apartments.

One of the favorite destinations for travelers is the man-made island of Palm Jumeirah in the UAE. When searching for accommodation here, you will encounter a vast selection ranging from local budget options to luxurious five-star resorts with extensive amenities. In this article, we have compiled a list of the best hotels to suit any budget.

Criteria for сhoosing a hotel for your vacation  

Cost. First, determine your budget: how much are you willing to spend on accommodation? If you only need a place to sleep, there’s no need to overpay for renowned resorts with a wide array of leisure activities and services. Conversely, if you prefer a primarily beach-oriented holiday and don’t plan to leave the hotel often, it’s wise to allocate more funds for lodging and choose a hotel with superior service and extensive amenities.

Location. Travel time is a crucial factor for many travelers. If this applies to you, opt for hotels on the «trunk» of the Palm for convenient access to Dubai’s main attractions. Alternatively, if you seek a more secluded retreat away from the bustle of the metropolis, consider options on the crescent.

Infrastructure. Pay attention to the facilities offered when selecting a hotel. Families with children might prioritize having a children’s menu in the restaurant and a safe swimming pool. If you are on a business trip and plan to hold meetings, check if the hotel has conference rooms. Beach enthusiasts should look for easy beach access. For those wishing to unwind completely, verify if the hotel has a spa center and explore its offerings.
