8.2/10 Very Good! (566 reviews)
Everything about this hotel was just fabulous! From the staff treating us like royalty to the phenomenal spread of food, we couldn’t have asked for anything more! All members of staff were always at hand to help, nothing was ever too much for them! Both breakfast and dinner was superb! The variety of foods and the freshness of it was truly outstanding. It didn’t matter what time we went to dine, there was always fresh food available. Despite the alcoholic beverages being on the pricier side, there was still ample of options. The room was always cleaned to its best and they went above and beyond when we hung the wrong sign on the door, asking them to collect dirty laundry, when we wanted our room cleaned. Oops! When I had left my phone on a shuttle bus, the concierge resolved the issue immediately and it was retrieved within 20 minutes! Enough said! Overall, I would highly recommend C Central Resort to anyone, singles, couples, friends and families - it’s definitely an all rounder! You will not be disappointed!

8.6/10 Excellent! (221 reviews)
Our stay at the Wyndham Residence was comfortable. The hotel itself does not have its own pool, though they provide access to another property nearby. The staff were polite and provided standard service, though not quite at the level you might expect from a property located on the Dubai Palm. Overall, I think this property is best suited for families with children or guests planning a longer stay on the Palm, rather than groups of adults looking for a more upscale or resort-style experience.
