The Palace Royal Mirage-Interior
by ciuchi
A beautiful place to be, excellent for honeymooners...it brings me so many great memories..hope I will go there again soon! We haven't stayed here, just came to see the hotel ( I am a travel agent) and we ended up by having an unexpected dinner at the Beach Bar&Grill. The service and the food were excellent , but what I loved the most was that it was a very very romantic place. So we made reservation for another dinner in our last night there! It also has a lot of restaurants and bars where you find yourself losing the track of time....
As I have seen the resort, it has a big and very beautiful swimming pool, with discreet and private "tents" for people who want more privacy. The view is also great magnificent, especially in the sunset time.
I did not stay here but went for a drink/coffee a couple of times. Royal Mirage (in the Jumeirah/Dubai Marina area) is gorgeous and perfect for anyone looking for a tranquil stay in the sun. It's part of "The One and Only" chain, which is ultra-luxurious, but extremely expensive. The hotel comes complete with its own beach, pool and restaurants.

I stopped at the Royal Mirage as part of my honeymoon in 2004, and without a doubt , the hotel provides the best service of any hotel I have ever stopped at.
We arrived at 05.00 on a Sunday morning and arranged for a hotel pick up. We were met in arrivals at DXB and escorted to our car ( a gold mercedes G Wagen). The driver provided an excellent commentray on the journey to the hotel.
The service at the Palace is excellent, nothing is too much trouble for the young but very polite staff. The rooms are cleaned twice a day. In the evenings, the sheets, slippers and a short verse are prepared for your return.
In the daytime, the pool bar staff provide a flow of cold drinking water, and other refreshments for consumption.
The One and Only complex has a number of resturants and bars. The ones to note are the Morrocan restuarant in the Palace and the rooftop bar in the Arabian Court. Food and drinks were fantastic.
The One and Only Royal Mirage is in the best location for those looking for a perfect balance of a beach resort and city shopping. The beach is quite beautiful, for Dubai, but in May the water was already almost hot, not refreshing. The pool is the place to hang. You will have 3 pools to choose from and 3 places for the inclusive breakfast. The ambience has arabian charm unlike some of the other cosmopolitan hotels which make you feel like you are in New York. The service is inconsistent from great to awful, resulting in mediocre. The employee training is way behind the Four Seasons or Ritz Carlton.
The Sheesha Bar at the Arabian Courtyard is really nice.
