Rixos The Palm, Dubai, a boutique hideaway for families on the Palm Jumeirah, has been voted among the top three resorts in the Middle East according to the Condé Nast Traveller Middle East Readers Choice Awards 2015.

The resort, which offers a number of exciting facilities, amenities and activities for families, was shortlisted next to Atlantis The Palm and Jumeirah Beach Hotel at the prestigious awards ceremony in November. The leading luxury travel magazine awards, which are awarded based solely on the votes of readers, selected the resort as one of the top three.    

Alexander Schneider, general manager of Rixos The Palm, Dubai, said: “We are absolutely delighted to have been recognised as one of the best family resorts in the entire Middle East. Up against a very large number of renowned and quality hotel brands, it is clear that we offer something really special to our guests – who return with their families time and time again. Our fascinating kids programmes are driven by passion and the constant will to further innovate. I am extremely proud to be part of a team that is pushing the boundaries of this important part of our resort philosophy on a daily basis.”

In addition to the Rixy Club - the kids entertainment centre which offers an action-packed daily programme for younger guests - there is a fully equipped indoor and outdoor play area, a children’s swimming pool, motorised and non-motorised watersports for families and an inflatable waterpark in the sea. Each restaurant offers a special menu designed for kids, whilst a team of highly trained baby sitters are on hand to take care of the little ones when the parents want to enjoy an evening by themselves or in the spa.

Further adding to its family-friendly offering, the resort recently launched ‘Family Affair’, a stay package which offers families a host of benefits including a special kid’s amenity pack on arrival, free flowing ice-cream for the little ones, babysitting, a banana boat ride and a cabana on the beach. – TradeArabia News Service
