Default Desert Palm "Resort"

Anyone stayed here?

From the website http://www.desertpalm.ae it looks very nice - but after some digging the location is right by Dragon Mart ( = International City?)

I does look nice (with prices to match) but is it all that?

Anyone know more?

Cheers,

Auto...

no idea Auto, it ain't miles out of town, take a run up there and have a look. Many moons ago you could rent villas there but I am under the impression that they have turned the whole complex into a resort. I would like to go and see it myself to be honest with you but it is one of those places that you sort of keep forgetting about!

Very nice place. A bit away from everything in Dubai though.
It is near Dragon Mart, but it is very secluded from its surroundings.

but wasn't it just a normal compound before then...instead of a resort?

you are right MH.....I am sure it is the Desert Palm, residential with a polo club and stables. I have friends living there too, lots of lovely big villas and smaller town houses surrounding the polo fields and lovely walkways.
