How much do lunch and drinks cost at St. Regis Dubai hotel restaurants?

The lobby café charges for drinks and pastries. Only one free dessert (pastry or ice cream) per day is included, and only on the Ultra all-inclusive package.

On weekdays, meals included in your board package are served in the restaurant from a menu — not at a buffet. St. Regis focuses on à la carte restaurant dining rather than a buffet-style spread.

On full board, breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included, but drinks from the bars and beach are usually charged separately and are not part of the package.

You can swap dinner for lunch at the hotel without issues. Buying lunches for the whole stay upfront may get you a discount — worth asking at reception. September is low season, so the hotel is likely flexible.

Two drinks at the hotel restaurant cost around 100 AED or more depending on what you order — alcohol is significantly pricier. Water at the pool and beach is free and unlimited, and you can take up to 3 bottles to your room.

Lunch at St. Regis Dubai restaurants is priced similarly to a mid-range restaurant, but portions are generous and food quality is good. The hotel breakfast is late and filling, so many guests skip lunch entirely. The lobby has a café with desserts, and the beach offers complimentary fruit ice during the day.
