Al Sabkha Vacations from $1,197

I recently stayed at this hotel and, unfortunately, it did not live up to its 5-star rating. Breakfast Buffet: The breakfast buffet mainly features South Asian dishes, which is absolutely fine—but this should be clearly mentioned on their website so guests know what to expect. The buffet staff themselves were very kind and welcoming, but the lack of transparency beforehand was disappointing. Front Desk Service: The front desk service was the most frustrating part of the stay. Almost every request was met with “come tomorrow” or “we’re working on it,” and then the next staff member would claim there was no note or record of the issue. When I called about our broken kettle, they said they would send a replacement, but no one ever showed up. The following day I was told they already knew it wasn’t workingu and simply had no replacement available. It felt like no one was actually attending to guests’ needs. The only person who truly helped was Padma. Near the end of our stay, we mentioned the kettle situation to her directly and she immediately took care of it. Her service was the one bright spot in an otherwise disappointing experience. Housekeeping: Housekeeping staff were polite and did a good job throughout our stay, which I appreciated. Noise Levels: Before booking,I saw a review mentioning loud music, and I wasn’t sure how accurate that was. After staying on one of the higher floors and still hearing music clearly at night, I can’t imagine how loud it must be on lower floor

Staff were very helpful could not do enough for you, rooms very clean &. comfortable My one issue was in regards to Risen the coffee shop at times there appeared to be no staff in one instance I had to help myself to a menu then approach a staff member to order my meal.

Quant place. The place is older snd a little tired

The room was in not good condition but it was big enough. At check in instead of family suit they gave us Executive suit and added one bed. Generally hotel is very old. Needs to be rinnovated. But the location of the hotel is nice. The staff is very helpful.

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.
