My stay at Raffles The Palm was luxurious and sophisticated, with stunning decor that takes your breath away. However, I found the service to be hit or miss, with some inconsistencies that detracted from the overall experience. The pool was beautiful, yet overcrowded at times, making it hard to find a sunbed. Additionally, some dining options felt less accommodating with extra charges for beverages not anticipated. Overall, it’s still a beautiful hotel, but there were a few lost touches that made me reconsider returning soon.
