An experience of a lifetime - From the moment we walked into the hotel it was WOW, from the interior design to the server’s uniforms I loved the ambiance. But the high tea was amazing, it was one of those experiences I will never forget. The food was divine but the whole theatrics just made it above and beyond. I wish I remembered the staff names as they bent over backwards for us. From the tea recommendations- not your old English black stuff but most delicious, refreshing fruit teas - to the performance of the serving. We booked via email and paid via a link. We were on a cruise and the ship was charging approx 250$ for it - we got a cab there we paid about 52€ pp for the high tea and all was included, including bottled water. It was around Christmas so the hotel was beautifully decorated. A must for everyone. Loved it!

Lovely Experience - This is a lovely experience and one I recommend. My driver was respectful and timely, and the staff at the Cafe were very pleasant. The only reason I gave this four stars is because it is a bit overpriced.

EMIRATES AFTERNOON TEA...SKIP IT! - Yesterday, 4 of us had afternoon tea at Emirates Palace. We had previously visited there 3 years ago, and loved every minute of it. This time, it was sadly lacking, in all areas! We waited almost 1 hour for food of any kind, had luke warm tea beforehand, which they never topped up, unless you made a point of getting up to go ask them, and then they brought out these horrible mushroom & cheese, and lobster and smoked salmon mini sandwiches...too spicy and horrible to eat. The blueberry infused tea they gave us was lovely though, but that was the only highlight. We kept asking for the usual afternoon tea fare of scones and finger sandwiches, clodded cream, etc, but it was 2 hours later before it finally appeared on our table! There were no tiers of food, like a proper English tea, and each plate could not fit on our table, so our plates were on the floor! Honestly, the whole experience was so miserable, we will never go back for afternoon tea there again!! A truly sad and disappointing afternoon!!

It's too expensive! I was... - It's too expensive! I was charged double the regular price. Since it wasn't crowded, I recommend making a reservation directly with the hotel.
