The beautiful island setting, combined with the hotel's luxurious amenities and the warm hospitality of the staff, makes for an unforgettable and rejuvenating stay. Overall, voco Monaco Dubai provides a unique and enchanting haven that leverages its extraordinary location to offer a perfect blend of relaxation and natural splendor.
Breakfast
However, some guests expressed disappointment with the limited variety of options, especially for a 5-star hotel. Several reviews pointed out the need for more variety and mentioned that the selection was occasionally meager and not up to the hotel's level. Complaints about slow service, insufficient staff during peak hours and issues with room service also detracted from the overall breakfast experience. Specific critiques included stale pastries, a lack of fruits and vegetables and an often underwhelming buffet spread. Despite these criticisms, many guests still found the breakfast to be a pleasant and enjoyable part of their stay.
Dinner
Guests have praised the delicious and high-quality food, particularly singling out the European cuisine and freshly prepared dishes at La Rive and La Brasserie restaurants. Many described their dinners as fantastic, delicious and truly enjoyable with some expressing that the culinary delights were exceptional, making their dining experience memorable.

Most reviews positively mentioned the well-prepared meals that left guests satisfied with their dining experience. Particular praise was given to the ambiance of the restaurant, live grilling stations and romantic dinner setups, which added to the overall dining pleasure.
However, the reviews also noted areas where the dining experience could be enhanced. Guests frequently commented on the limited options available, both in buffet and à la carte menus, citing a lack of variety, especially for those who expected more diverse selections such as Asian cuisine. The high cost of meals was another common concern with many feeling that the prices did not match the quality or variety of food offered. Additionally, some guests mentioned that the food was overpriced and sometimes not worth the cost with reports of overcooked meats, dry carbohydrates and generally bland options.
Service inconsistency was another recurring issue. While some staff were described as friendly and accommodating, others seemed unprepared, especially during dinner service at La Brasserie. Delays in meal preparation, slow room service and occasional lapses in service quality were pointed out, which detracted from the overall dining experience.
In summary, the dining experience at voco Monaco Dubai presents a spectrum of experiences - from remarkable culinary highlights to areas needing significant improvements in variety, pricing and service efficiency. Guests can expect delicious meals but should be prepared for potential limitations in menu diversity and higher prices.

Many travelers also appreciate the large balconies that overlook the sea, providing an exceptional setting to watch sunsets.

Overall, while the hotel offers potentially strong WiFi connectivity, especially in rooms and outdoor areas, there may be occasional issues with stability and reliability.
Pool
Despite some issues with pool maintenance and occasional problems like a damaged pool and loose flashing, the majority of guests still found the pool area to be a highlight of their stay. The pool bar, particularly praised for the professionalism and kindness of staff members, like Asma, also adds to the experience.

Overall, the pool at Voco Monaco Dubai stands out due to its size, design and the vibrant atmosphere it creates, making it a preferred spot for many visitors looking to unwind and have fun.
5 Star
However, several reviews pointed out that the breakfast service did not meet five-star standards, being described as humble and not comparable to other five-star properties. Some guests also felt there was exploitation in the food and beverage pricing. The use of a mobile phone as an operator was noted as unprofessional for a high-end hotel.
Despite these criticisms, many guests recommended the hotel for its memorable experiences, excellent service and stylish decor reminiscent of Monaco. The place was described as amazing and some reviewers found everything about their stay far beyond their expectations. Overall, it seems that while the hotel offers a luxurious experience, there are areas, notably service and dining, where it falls short of the five-star promise.
Adult Only
From its adults-only beach to the ambient pool area, every corner of the venue is crafted with mature visitors in mind. The island itself serves as a perfect hideaway, isolated from the bustling city, making it an excellent spot for those who enjoy a more serene and intimate atmosphere. The hotel's adult-only DJ feature and vibrant ambiance cater particularly well to the younger generation who appreciate a lively yet private environment.
Despite its many charms, certain guests noted a lack of privacy could be a drawback for couples and suggested that the hotel could benefit from more dining options and activity choices. Moreover, some found the staff to be less accommodating than expected with room for improvement in service promptness.
Overall, Voco Monaco Dubai caters exquisitely to adults seeking a beautiful, peaceful escape.
Outdoor Pool
One of the standout features is the pool's accessibility, being open 24 hours a day, allowing guests to enjoy a dip at any time, including nighttime.

The scene at the pool is lively and dynamic, often described as a big party place with continuous loud music and foam parties. This vibrant environment is further enhanced by various pool activities and a party vibe that some guests particularly enjoy. The poolside area also boasts beautiful views with some rooms offering spectacular pool and ocean sceneries.
However, reviews do mention some drawbacks such as the loud music, which can be disruptive for some guests. Additionally, there is a noted shortage of pool loungers and the ambiance around the pool can sometimes feel lower class and more design-focused than practical.
