Let me disagree on the food account : ). Having studied the preliminary picky reviews about the hotel, we deliberately bypassed establishments with oriental cuisine. But with pleasure we ate two mornings in a row just a continental breakfast through room service. It even corresponds to its "status" of cooking in a similar category of hotel : ). In addition, we dabbled in the delights of Italian cuisine in the hotel restaurant. And also no complaints (for which the restaurant manager approached the table more than once) did not follow. So personally, my weekend spent within the walls of this Palace was not overshadowed by anything, including even the weather : ).
Now, excuse me, I’ll switch to a more accessible style for ladies, because I just can’t help but share my impressions of some small amenities of the service I received : ) (this is important for us).
And it turned out to be important that we were greeted with a delicate bouquet of five roses (on departure, by the way, you will be presented again with fragrant flowers from the Kempinski flower bed : )), refreshing napkins, dates stuffed with almonds, orange juice and other protocol stuff like a welcome letter from GM and sugary-sweet (auditory and, of course, visually) accompaniment of the guide to the room in the form of a girl who tried to convey to us all the information about the benefits and pleasures available in the hotel. Remember everything on the fly? - Well done! Do not remember - and do not! All the same, you will learn everything only by clicking, starting with a common and unified control panel for the chandelier and plasma, and ending with endless corridors on the way from the room and back. To be honest, on the first day, we spent two whole hours returning to our room after an unsuccessful search for a haven to satisfy our hunger in the afternoon (all restaurants of our usual (non-oriental) cuisine are closed until 6 or 7 pm! ). 2 hours circling around the hotel from one security guard or manager to another (and there really were an indecent lot of them on our way), until we got to our room. We spent all 2 hours in continuous laughter, growing with each next nook and cranny, similar to the previous one like two drops of water. When they approached the room, they literally fell to the floor and remembered the hero Semyon Farada from the famous "Magicians" (how he was looking for a way out to people lol). Do not despair : )! The very next day you will be free to navigate in this pile of gold and crystal (if only you have everything OK with navigation : ) ).

Well, what about the facts? Of the daily "compliments" - fruits, a couple of chocolates for the night, the entire non-alcoholic bar...
Tourists, in fact, are brought to the hotel for an excursion : ). The rest (from among the residents) noticeably differ in their status appearance and behavior. To sit in the lobby and watch them come here from all over the world, I would call a good psychotherapy for any woman : ). Not annoying, you know, at all, but quite the opposite : ).
A very interesting exhibition and sale of antique gizmos dated....AD. and exhibited in the lobby, makes one involuntarily think about comparing the value in our time of some (even archi-antique) clay whistle (may the true connoisseurs of antiquity forgive me) and human life...
We saw a gold machine "spitting out" gold bars and coins. Still working lol.
Fact - swimwear was not stolen : ) (following one of the reviews). The sun loungers are definitely plastic, but we skinny lol didn’t care as much as the fact that in the morning like this at 7-8 on the whole snow-white beach you could be literally the ONLY! And if you are also lucky with the breeze... : ) PARADISE, PARADISE and only PARADISE! (well, I'm talking about the summer months).
Oh, did not have time to try out their spa. And this is the only thing he regrets : (.
YES! I forgot to say. The dishes there are French everywhere, yes : ( : ). Also very amused was the presence of real gold on chocolates in the coffee shop next to the lobby. Very, I must admit, an unexpected discovery : )! Ordered tea and fruit cake. When they brought it, all the attention was focused on the potifures, dates and that very bitter chocolate with gold "pepper" on the top as a compliment : ).
And that's probably all : )! Everything about the Emirates Palace from an optimist and hedonist : )! I guess there were some downsides too : ) But this is more likely not for me, but for my husband's wallet lol!
