We had brunch at Penthouse last Friday night and it was truly worth it. The starters were already massive, and the mains were delicious—especially the salmon. But the highlight for us was definitely the dessert, particularly the ice cream on a stick, one of the best we’ve tried. What made the experience even better was when the floor manager kindly transferred us from indoor to outdoor dining, allowing us to enjoy the vibrant atmosphere with the DJ on set. Great music, great ambiance, and overall excellent value for the price. Definitely worth coming back for. ✨

I had an incredible night at Penthouse, enjoying delicious dishes with a spectacular rooftop view and truly personalized service that couldn’t have been better. It’s honestly a pleasure to visit this place, the ambiance, the attention to detail, and the overall experience make it stand out. I would choose it again and again without hesitation. Highly recommended for a special night out.

Had such a lovely dinner here! The atmosphere was cozy and elegant, the presentation of every dish was beautiful, and everything tasted fresh and full of flavor. The sushi was excellent, the crispy cauliflower was a pleasant surprise, and the fried rice was perfectly seasoned. Service was attentive without being intrusive, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Definitely a place I’d come back to and recommend to friends.

Had such a great experience at The Penthouse! The food was absolutely delicious,full of flavor, fresh, and beautifully presented. Every dish we tried was satisfying and well-prepared. ✨🥂 The best part is the stunning rooftop view overlooking the Marina Harbour. ⛴️🚢🛳️🛥️🚤 The scenery is breathtaking, especially at night, perfect ambiance with amazing vibes and music.

Had such a lovely time at The Penthouse Dubai. The vibe was super chill, with stunning views over JBR and Ain Dubai, which made the whole experience even better. The service felt genuinely warm and natural, very welcoming with no forced energy. Food was beautifully presented with generous portion sizes as well. A perfect spot to unwind and enjoy the Dubai views. ✨

The Penthouse is one of the most stunning venues in Dubai. The location is simply spectacular, with breathtaking views over Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina, and the city skyline. The atmosphere is vibrant yet sophisticated, making it perfect for both dinner and drinks. The food is excellent, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. A truly iconic Dubai experience that never disappoints.

We had the pleasure to enjoy Eve Lounge during our 4 day stay at Hyatt Regency Dubai Creek Heights. This is a must!! The lounge on itself is a charm but the view… Best view onto the skyline in whole city. It is on level 34 (which is 164m height). Perfect view on obelisk, the Frame and… Everything. You can go around outside almost 360⁰!!! You see everything, from Dubai Creek over downtown skyline, Raffles pyramid, whatever!!! Fantastic cocktails and very kind service by the way! Big thanks to Leander and all of his team!!! Those girls and guys do a fantastic job. You all created memories forever to my wife and I. Looking forward to our next stay! Monique and Rolf

I recently visited Eve Penthouse on the 34th floor and had an amazing experience. From the food and appetizers to the beverages and shisha, everything was excellent. The service was quick and attentive, and the staff were genuinely friendly. Their sushi selection and savory appetizers are definite must-tries. And a special mention of the stunning view of Dubai. Highly recommend for a great evening out!

Amazing atmosphere from the view to the food. Everything was perfect! The sushi was especially delicious, the music created such a great vibe, and the staff were super friendly and welcoming. Definitely coming back

One of the best rooftop experiences in Dubai. Atmosphere was nice, everything served quickly and on high quality level. Sushi was delicious 🤤 I’m not a big fan for hookah, but we decided to try the melon one and it was perfect even for someone who don’t smoke normally! The view is amazing especially the moment with fireworks 🎇

Had an amazing evening at Eve Penthouse! The views are breathtaking, and the atmosphere is just perfect for a night out. The sushi was fresh and delicious, and the shisha quality is good.

I had such a wonderful experience here! The sushi was absolutely outstanding fresh, perfectly balanced, and beautifully presented. The atmosphere is intimate yet welcoming, making it a lovely spot whether you’re with friends, family, or on a date. The staff truly elevated the experience. They were not only warm and attentive but also very knowledgeable about the menu, happily guiding us through food and drink pairings. I also appreciated how inclusive the menu is, with options to suit different tastes and dietary needs – it really shows their commitment to every guest’s experience. The shisha was excellent as well – smooth, flavorful, and clearly prepared with care. If I had to suggest anything, it would simply be to see even more signature creations on the menu, especially in desserts, to match the creativity of the mains. Overall, this place exceeded expectations. With its combination of quality food, great service, and inviting atmosphere, I’d highly recommend it and will definitely be returning.

One of the nicest rooftops in Dubai. The view is just incredible, and the winter evenings here feel magical. Dinner, shisha, drinks — everything is perfect, but what really makes it special is the staff. They treat you like family and make you feel at home. Definitely a place worth visiting.🤩

We went for the Stargaze night «brunch» at OL and it was very nice. Their unique cocktails are not part of the brunch but are definitely recommended – very tasty! The service was initially a bit slow but it picked up and we were very happy with the quality of food – servers were very kind and friendly. Good ambience and I hope to go back sometime 🙂

Observatory Dubai is an absolute must-visit! The experience was amazing from start to finish. They offer a fantastic 3-course menu paired with free-flow drinks, which makes it such great value for the overall experience. The food was delicious and beautifully presented, and the drinks kept flowing all night. The live DJ added the perfect energy to the evening, and of course—the views are simply breathtaking. Watching the city skyline while enjoying dinner and music made the night extra special. What truly stood out was the staff—everyone was incredibly friendly, helpful, and accommodating. A special mention to Ankon, who went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing time. His service really elevated the whole experience. If you’re looking for great food, stunning views, and an unforgettable night out, Observatory Dubai is the place to be!

Loved the Friday Brunch at Observatory Lounge! Great atmosphere, amazing views over Dubai Marina, delicious 3-course set menu and friendly service. The vibe was lively but classy, and everything was very well organized. Definitely worth visiting – I’d gladly come back!

I had a very nice dinner at Observatory Lounge with a friend and absolutely loved the experience. The venue is stunning, perfectly located, and sitting on the 52nd floor with breathtaking views that make the night feel truly special. We went for the Stargaze Friday Night Brunch and everything was fantastic. The food was very delicious and beautifully presented. We enjoyed shrimp, croquettes, edamame, burgers, chicken, and finished with churros, a great variety and every dish was full of flavor. The drinks were excellent, my favorites were the martini, piña colada, and white wine. Great music was playing throughout the night, Live DJ was awesome, and the live entertainment made it even more memorable: an amazing saxophonist and wonderful dancers created such a vibrant and elegant atmosphere. The staff were super kind, attentive, and welcoming, which really completed the experience. Amazing views, great food, beautiful drinks, and incredible entertainment. Highly recommend them for a special night out!

Stargaze Brunch at Observatory Lounge is an amazing Friday night experience. The views over Dubai Marina is absolutely stunning, especially after sunset. The food is tasty and well presented, with a nice fusion menu, and the drinks keep flowing. Great music, lively atmosphere, and perfect to kick off the weekend with friends. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a chill, fun, elevated brunch vibe in Dubai. I would like to thank Ancon, he was taking care of us, he is always smiling we had a great moment thanks to him.

Really enjoyed my time here. The lounge has a nice relaxed vibe, not too loud and very comfortable to just sit, talk, and enjoy the evening. The atmosphere feels cozy and stylish at the same time. Service was friendly and easygoing, and we didn’t have to wait long for anything. Drinks were good, nicely prepared, and overall everything just felt smooth and chill. It’s one of those places where you actually want to stay longer than planned. Would definitely come back again.

Absolutely fantastic evening at The Observatory! We came for the 3-course dinner and free-flowing drinks, and the entire experience exceeded expectations. The food was incredibly delicious, perfectly portioned, and the service was so attentive—our glasses were never empty. What really made the night, though, was the vibe. They had a phenomenal DJ playing lively, upbeat music that set the perfect tone for a fun night out. Great food, endless drinks, excellent music, and beautiful views. Highly recommend!

Had a lovely dinner at Cavo in Business Bay. The atmosphere was easily one of the highlights — dim lighting, stylish interiors, and a really relaxed upscale vibe that made the whole evening feel special without being overly formal. We went for a 3-course dinner and started with a selection of appetizers, including sushi and dynamite shrimps that were beautifully presented and fresh. Everything came out looking elegant and tasted just as good. For the main course, I had the Angus sirloin, which was cooked perfectly — tender, flavorful, and nicely seasoned. The quality of the meat definitely stood out, and the portions were satisfying without feeling too heavy. Dessert ended the night on a high note. The tiramisu was rich and creamy with the right balance of coffee flavor, while the saffron milk cake was soft, fragrant, and honestly one of the standout dishes of the evening. Service was attentive throughout, and the overall dining experience felt polished from start to finish. Definitely a great spot in Business Bay for a date night, dinner with friends, or just a classy evening out.

The light show and music were absolutely fantastic, creating an unforgettable experience. The entertainment was amazing, and the atmosphere was vibrant and exciting. The food was delicious, and the cocktails and alcoholic drinks were excellent. I visited with my friends, and we all had a wonderful time.

We had such a beautiful Valentine’s Day here! The atmosphere was absolutely amazing — everything was decorated so elegantly and felt very festive and romantic. There was even a special photo booth setup, which made the evening extra fun and memorable. The music created the perfect vibe, and the food was truly delicious. You could really feel how much effort was put into every detail. Definitely a place we’d love to come back to! ❤️

An amazing place with a charming atmosphere. A very stylish interior, good music, and most importantly, friendly staff. They made our day; the cocktails and food were simply amazing. Mary is our waitress. She is wonderful and sweet.

I had a wonderful night at Cavo! Their cocktails are very delicious — I especially loved the passion fruit cocktail and ended up drinking quite a lot of them during the evening. There were many beautiful girls around in unusual dresses, which made the atmosphere even more interesting. The food was tasty, and I really loved the meat. The interior and the view are also beautiful. I definitely recommend it! 🍸✨

I had a great experience at CAVO Dubai. The restaurant has a stylish and vibrant atmosphere, perfect for a night out in the city.

This morning’s breakfast was truly amazing. A big thank you to Zeeshan and Chef Ishtiag for the delicious food and excellent service.

Thanks bro, keep up the great work. 👏🔥

Overall, the Senecio offers a truly unparalleled experience for shisha enthusiasts and casual visitors alike. With its inviting ambiance, impeccable service, and diverse selection of flavors.

It was an amazing experience! I think the overall experience was made better by «Shafik» amazing customer service, he’s an amazing staff and provided an awesome customer service!

an amazing stay at this hotel! The staff were super friendly, the rooms were spotless, and the overall vibe was so relaxing. The breakfast buffet had a great variety, and the location made it easy to get around. Definitely coming back next time I’m in town!💯 …

Had an amazing experience at Bliss Lounge in Dubai! The ambiance was relaxing, and the staff were super friendly and attentive. Highly recommend for a chill evening out or a catch-up with friends 💫👌

Aaron from the bar was very disrespectful, he told us we were disrespectful without further details. He could have worded things he said better. I heard he was the supervisor but he couldn’t even handle customers nicely. Not recommended. May you never experience the things I experienced.

Had a Great Time at Bliss Lounge, Special Thanks To Staff Farzana for looking after us she was super tentative & full of energy. Only the disappointment was Dj Lady she was super rude to us when we acknowledge her for playing nice music she did rude signal like what which was very shocking the management should in to this otherwise my rating would be 5 star

Service was super slow but overall food was good. We had quesadilla, edamame, shrimp salad, mango salad, calamari, sweet potato fries. It was all delicious. I had colada drink but it didnt taste like any liquor was in it.😬 Server Ahmed and host were nice. They also have sicha/hookahs available. It was right on the beach with excellent views of the water.

Absolutely amazing place! Amazing Tequila Cocktails! Angel Wings highly recommended! Great Staff! Outdoor Fans plus Good Music good vibes good shisha too 👌 comfortable surroundings

❤️ i had such an amazing time at DECK TOO! I absolutely love the ambiance — chic, vibrant, and with that stunning Dubai skyline vibe that just makes the whole night feel extra special. Perfect spot to unwind, chill and just feel the greatness. The coffee , tea were beautifully presented and tasted just as good as they looked. Everything felt premium and well curated. What truly made our experience exceptional was the service — especially Raymond. He was attentive, warm, professional, and genuinely welcoming. He made sure we were comfortable the entire time and gave great recommendations. Service like that really elevates the whole experience! Special mention as well to Hamshari, our amazing shisha guy — smooth setup and perfectly prepared 👌🏼🔥 and Salim for great hospitality too. Shoutout to Reymond 😅♥️ — such a great night with great people! Definitely coming back. Highly recommended for good vibes, great service, and a beautiful ambiance. ✨

Visited with my family and we absolutely loved the experience. The staff were incredibly accommodating and kind, and the venue itself is beautiful, offering a stunning view of the Burj Khalifa. To top it all off, the food and drinks were delicious and very affordable. Special thanks to Reymond and Salim! They were so attentive and took great care of us from start to finish. They truly made our visit even more memorable.

Had such a lovely lunch by the pool today. The atmosphere was beautiful, the food was delicious, and the service was absolutely amazing. The waiters were so attentive, kind, and professional throughout the entire experience. Thank you to Htet and Mingh for making our afternoon so special.

Just go there! The pool deck with the sky view is stunning. It’s a wonderful spot for a solo day, soaking up the sun, enjoying the music, and sipping on delicious food and beverages. Perfect for a relaxing, peaceful escape by the pool!

I arrived late at night and It was amazing waking up to the views of Burj Khalifa straight to my face.. Later i Decided to go the Deck Too a fabulous chillspot. Thanks to Htet she displayed her professionalism . Great service Htet! You really made me feel at home. For sure i will come back.

I had an amazing dining experience at Deck Too, The Address Skyview Dubai. The ambiance was stunning, with breathtaking views, and the food was exceptional. A special shoutout to Ronak, for his attentiveness and warm hospitality. Highly recommend!

Amazing service today. Especially HTET, MIN & RAYMON was super attentive and checked on us multiple times and they stayed patient and smiling. Will definitely be back.

After a long time, my heart truly felt happy today. In Dubai, if you find hospitality that feels like home, what more could you ask for? We started with some beer, then ordered a few cocktails and they were absolutely amazing…. After that, we enjoyed some time by the pool, and the starters were outstanding…. But the best part was the service…. Paradeep provided such warm and attentive service that it felt like we were sitting at a relative’s home. And Manager Mr. Savio what a great person…. He has completely won us over from now on, whenever we visit, we’ll go only to him.Thank you, Team the royal AOK, for such an incredible experience………..

Amazing experience… A Mumbai vibe in Dubai with a Dubai-style drink. The cocktail was fantastic, and the starters were outstanding. The staff was very courteous overall, had a great time!»

Amazing spot for a friends’ get-together — delicious food, classic cocktails, and a great vibe. Had an awesome time with Savio and the team!

This place is awesome i enjoyed with my friends they have great deals i will love to come again Awesome service keep itup Mr Savio 👏

Stopped by the lounge while waiting for our movie, and it was a great experience. The food and drinks were good, and the atmosphere was cozy and relaxing. The staff really stood out, very accommodating, friendly, and attentive, making us feel welcome from start to finish. A nice place to unwind before the movie starts.

It is a very well hidden lounge but worth the search, absolutely amazing. First we tasted some of their dishes in City Cinema and then decided to give it a go on a Sunday afternoon. Seafood ceviche was amazing, sushi rolls were delicious-especially the ones with crispy bits were my favorites, great texture. Everything is prepared a la minute, so the service takes some time but in return, you will be awarded with freshly prepared and beautifully presented dishes. Special kudos to the bartender as well, drinks were spot on!

This is where excellence is taken shape. We started ordering when we went to the movies at Cinemacity, and food quality from Azul served in the movie theaters was way over our expectations, so decided to check Azul lounge. Brilliant sushi and drinks. Friendly personnel, lovely service. Drop by there if you are around Dubai Mall – direct footbridge near cinema parking Love you guys. I hope you survive and we come frequently.

Azul Bar (beside Cinema City) is the perfect spot to chill while waiting for your movie. Great vibes, good music, and refreshing drinks. The staff—especially the Filipino team—are so friendly and accommodating. Special shoutout to Asiaya and the bartender for their VIP treatment. Definitely coming back again! ❤️

Azul Lounge at Cinemacity Fountain Views is a must try experience.The Azul Lounge boasts a full kitchen & bar.The lounge serves eclectic Japanese cuisines.Interiors are elegant & classy.Food & Service are top notch.Had a fabulous time here.

Delicious cocktails and a fantastic menu to compliment any taste you are in the mood for. Definitely going back! The sushi was mouth watering among other Asian fusion creations!

I do not recommend this place to you, since I spent an hour looking for an entrance to it. I came to Adress Fountain Views specifically to visit this place. I asked one security guard and he sent me to Dubai Mall, another security guard directed me to another hotel. When I called their number, the sleepy man again gave me an incomprehensible direction, after the second call, a woman with a crying child told me that they would close in half an hour. When I finally found this place, they told me that they were already closed. It looks like a failed family business, don’t fall for it, my worst experience

«Dine with a view» is the perfect tagline for this restaurant. The city skyline view is absolutely stunning. The cool, refreshing atmosphere on the 68th floor made the experience even more enjoyable. Special thanks to Jason for the excellent hospitality and for helping us choose the perfect dishes. We started with mojitos and berry juices, followed by a Caesar salad, Moroccan tea, and edamame. For the main course, we enjoyed fettuccine pasta and calibu chicken. Overall, a wonderful dining experience with great food, service, and an unforgettable view.

A lovely «Emily in Paris» afternoon tea thème 🫖🧁 The presenting trays and tea set were beautiful. The selections of savory and sweet bites were all very tasty. The huge croissant was soft and yummy with its dips aside. Its a great afternoon set for sharing. Its quite quiet during the afternoon also for a most private afternoon time. The view of the city from top is amazing. 👍 A mention also from the whole staff working over there; each of them did an excellent service, friendly, available keeping checking if we needed anything. Its been great and I definitely recommended this tea time to try. 👍

We had a truly wonderful experience here. The views are absolutely stunning, and we enjoyed every moment of our stay. Highly recommended. Jishu is the best.

We had such a lovely experience at Malibu Sky Lounge located at Paramount Hotel Dubai. The ambiance is absolutely stunning — chic, elegant, and perfect for a relaxing afternoon. We tried the Emily in Paris themed afternoon tea, and it was beautifully presented with delicious pastries and savory treats that truly captured a Parisian vibe. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged, making the experience feel extra special and Instagram-worthy. A very special thank you to Tun, the lovely lady who assisted us during our visit. She was incredibly warm, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. Her friendly service made our afternoon even more enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a stylish spot with great views, delightful treats, and outstanding service. We will definitely be back! 💕✨

Malibu sky lounge i visit first time, only The service was a little difficult, because at the beginning they didn’t find our booking and didn’t even want to accept our order, but I show them that I already booked yesterday, only it was a problem and otherwise the atmosphere and lunch was excellent! Recommended!

I feel that Malibu Sky Lounge does not deserve all of these low star reviews, as I had a very pleasant experience today. I brought my dad here for afternoon tea and communicated ahead of time to request a gluten free set. They were happy to accommodate this and all of the staff were super polite and attentive. We were seated outside, watched the sunset and enjoyed the nice view. My dad loved everything that came with the afternoon tea set. It was a very special evening for us. Special thanks to Shiv for his outstanding hospitality.

I recently visited Malibu Sky Lounge at Paramount Hotel Dubai, and it was a good experience! The atmosphere is absolutely stunning — perched high with panoramic views of the Dubai skyline, it’s the perfect spot for a sunset drink or a night out with friends. The cocktails were expertly crafted, and the menu had a great selection of bites that paired beautifully with the drinks. The staff was relatively attentive and friendly, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. I especially appreciated the DJ, who set a perfect vibe without overwhelming conversation. Whether you’re a tourist or a Dubai local, Malibu Sky Lounge is a must-visit for chic ambiance, great music, and great views of Dubai skyline. Go there for the sunset.
