The Good Stuff
Infinity pool
The infinity pool is the main draw, creating the floating-above-the-city effect many visitors come for.
Photo setting
The pool edge, skyline and polished interiors provide plenty of photo opportunities.
Attentive service
Several reviews describe staff as warm and attentive, including careful handling of food allergies.
Sunset atmosphere
The evening can bring strong music, cocktails and a lively sunset atmosphere.
Cabana comfort
Cabanas can make an all-day visit more comfortable, with showers available for changing before dinner.
Food highlights
One diner found the sliders, lamb chops and grilled sea bass cooked perfectly and full of flavour.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check seating. Confirm whether your booking is front-facing; some loungers near the bar have very limited views.
Time it well. Go in the morning for more sun, or after 14:00 to catch afternoon light, sunset and night views.
Pack layers. Bring an overshirt in January, when wind and the cold pool exit can make the rooftop feel chilly.
Ask about shade. Check the shade situation before booking; many beds lack cover and building shadows change during the day.
Choose your bed. If the view matters, ask about a cabana or front-row option rather than accepting a standard lounger.
Expect no extras. For birthdays or celebrations, confirm inclusions in advance; some guests received no special acknowledgment.

The Bottom Line
Cloud 22 is a rooftop pool club in Palm Jumeirah built around its elevated views, infinity pool and polished atmosphere. You can book a sunbed, cabana or floating bed, swim while looking over the Palm, and stay for cocktails, lunch or sunset. The setting is the clearest reason to consider it, especially for photos or a special occasion.
The experience is not only about the main infinity pool. Reviews mention three pool areas, comfortable sunbeds, showers for changing before dinner, and packages that can run from the afternoon into sunset and evening. Food feedback is mixed: some guests enjoyed wagyu sliders, lamb chops, sea bass and truffle batata bravas, while others found the pizza, lamb and overall menu disappointing for the price.
Book carefully. Some loungers near the bar have limited views, while front-facing beds and cabanas cost more; shade can also be hard to find. The pool is not heated, and the exposed rooftop can be windy.
Service ranges from exceptionally attentive to slow or poorly organised, including one reported 42-minute cocktail wait and a complaint about flies around food. Check the seating, shade and package details before paying, and treat the visit as a premium view-and-ambience outing rather than a value-focused meal.
