Middle East Holidays from NZ$1,232

The history of the QE2 was everywhere, wandering around the vessel was a joy. The reception staff and particularly the concierge were very helpful. The room was very clean and well appointed. The lack of an outdoor swimming pool was a disappointment. I hope that the owners prioritise the restoration of an outdoor pool. An indoor pool was available but was in the bowls of the ship, very small and uninviting. The pool attendant was particularly aggressive and unhelpful. The food in the Lido restaurant was acceptable but the dress code was not adhered to or enforced! For me the vessel's history was my reason for staying and for that I was not disappointed.

Very clean and pleasant hotel, good beach

Outstanding Staff Made Our Stay Exceptional This wasn’t my first stay at Lapita Hotel Dubai, and it definitely won’t be my last. What truly stood out this time was the incredible staff, especially Marry at the reception. Despite the room issue being entirely my mistake—and even more complicated because the booking was through a third party—she went above and beyond to accommodate our request. She literally jumped through hoops to make things right, and did so with grace and patience. Everyone we encountered at the hotel was warm, welcoming, and genuinely cheerful. Some staff even had a great sense of humor, making the whole experience feel more personal and relatable. The positive energy and spirit of the team made our stay feel special. Loved the stay. Loved the team. Can’t wait to come back again.

Pool was under construction.

The property was well kept and spotlessly clean. Our maid on the 9th floor, Mylee was excellent. The breakfast chef Ali was also very obliging. All concierge staff were also very helpful.
