The location is part of the attraction as it is out of the main city and about 1 hour from Dubai International Airport and very close to the Abu Dhabi boarder. However, this location gives a real resort feel away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre whilst at the same time being only a short drive from the malls such as Ibn Battuta Mall, the new Dubai Marina Mall and the Mall of Emirates. The Royal Jasmine villa?s exclusively enjoy direct sea view. Royal Junior Suite situated just steps from the beach with great direct sea views of the sea and The Palm Jebel Ali, this spacious 54sqm junior suite features a private terrace. Within in the hotel there is the all day dining restaurant, two main a la carte restaurants for dinner, swim up pool bar with service around the pool. Another bonus for guests is the options available at the sister hotel, Jebel Ali Hotel as well as the restaurants at the Golf Club and Shooting Club. The Palm Tree Court is made up of a main building with the reception and restaurants. The rooms are located in 6 low rise buildings in the gardens. The lobby had a large welcome area with the main reception on the left hand side as you enter. Plenty of chairs to relax and read the paper.

As part of the new concept guests can enjoy alfresco dining facilities on the outdoor terrace or around the pool and sunbeds 7 days a week throughout the daytime and are also being offered a range of amenities with our compliments such as cold towels, fruit skewers, reading materials etc. The work on new villas which will comprise of 74 new rooms and suites, built outside the current resort perimeter has already begun and we expect to have all structural work complete by May 2012. All external finishes are due for completion by August 2012 whilst the full landscaping works and project completion is expected by the end of September, in preparation for an October opening. Work is taking place between 10am and 6pm in a fenced off work site. No other facilities will be affected and visual disturbance will be extremely limited when at the resort. The construction site is accessed through a separate entrance and therefore there will be no direct disturbance to guests in the grounds of the resort.
