And an Emirati court of law deciding an issue involving a resort owned by the Royal Family ....
Which goes back to the property is likely willing to make a customer service gesture as they care more about long term than our blockchain friends at the St. Regis but they are unlikely to write a check. So if OP can find alternative dates, they might be willing to give a credit, or if the owners/managers have another property in Dubai they own, they might be willing to do something there. My googling suggests the Dubai Marriott Harbour Hotel & Suites is also owned by Emirates.
Asking for full board at the R-C seems very unlikely -- unless they own it.
