Wondering if I should cancel 2 nights in May.
We enjoyed our stay in 2016, but it wasn't as nice as the night we had at PH Abu Dhabi.
If noise is a problem, wondering if I should bother. Currently booked into exec suite using cash + points upgrade.

Lagoon Suites have been available for some time (I believe perhaps around the same time as the other Lagoon rooms coming online).
The Lagoon rooms and suites have always been inexplicably more than 2x the cost of the standard rooms and Terrace Suites (which I'm sure it used to be prior to the lagoon beach) respectively. I'm sure some people are very much drawn to this location and willing to pay the extra, although I personally want to be very much away from all of this.
I still think the hotel is fundamentally solid, as long as you're not paying too much. If you ask for a room in buildings 3 or 4, you shouldn't have issues with noise.

they freshened up the lagoon rooms and those have new loungers as well.

Currently here for a 2 night stay. Last visit was in 2016. Fresh fruit platter, welcome back letter with dates and baklava. Improved restaurant selection IIRC. Breakfast buffet much improved. Seems busier... maybe because of season, maybe because of Covid rebound travel.
Booked into park exec suite via points upgrade option, no further upgrade (only one available was Presidential, so no expectation).
Already want to come back. 2 days is too short in Dubai to begin with. (We had 2 days last time as well, and are doing this atop 5 nights we just finished at Al Maha).

I just spent 2 differnt nights here on the Hyatt Prive rate. Included was a bottle of white wine, breakfast and $100 credit. I also stayed at the Andaz on Hyatt Privee and felt the PH was a actually better value.
The room was upgraded to a Lagoon View both ties (from basic one) and I was treated like a returning princess. I really loved my stay here - the pools were awesome. The only thing that I was disappointed with is the toiletries have been downgraded from Le Labo to Pharmacopia - I was gutted!

Has anyone heard about their renovation? Is it moving forward / in progress? With the world opening up again, I haven't been to Dubai the last couple months -- would be great to know if there's an update on this topic.

I have my first stay there coming up in a month or so, and even though I was worried about the rooms feeling dated, I'm buoyed by the consistently positive reviews! Thx in advance!

Bumping this to see if anyone has seen evidence of the first phase of the renovations? If so, are the rooms significantly different?

Frankly I have no idea what's going on but seems ownership had a change of mind?
Hopefully the renovation of the rooms will go ahead at some point... given how much was written about it, this is embarrassing.

Does anyone know if this hotel honors globalist late checkout? I've heard resort properties sometimes do not. I'm in Dubai for 3 days next month but my flight home departs after midnight. If not, I wonder if they would offer a day room.
