Having booked with Silverjet we were just happy to arrive here after a 3 hour delay but was not happy suite not ready at 2.00pm as agreed. Called at 3.30pm to room which you could tell had been cleaned in a hurry, a pot of pills left in our childs room and bits and pieces throughout on the floor.

Great views from 18th floor and away from noise experienced by previous review, executive pool good but obviously busy in half term.

Happy hour in the premium leisure was as expected, a previous review had said it was a nightmare, loads of kids screaming and they were spot on. Gold lounge at The Palace much more civilised!

Sea not particularly clean (nappies etc). JBH is always busy but great access to Wild Wadi keeps children happy and the fact you can use the buggies to go up and down to other hotels on the Jumereih strip is great, restaurants and Madinat by abra very romantic, Segreto great Italian, a must try.

Dubai remains our favourite destination, try it all!!!

hello,

just came back from our family holiday in the Beach hotel. we had a perfect vacation. except 1 thing.- reserved baby beds with the reservation, even called 1 day before arrivel that we need baby bets in the rooms. after arrivel on midnight, we had to wait 45m for baby bed. not good, but after that we didn't have any problems in the hotel.

some tips for staying in this hotel.-its a 5* hotel, act like 5* guests (you pay 5* prices!) something wrong ask direct to a manager.

if ordering a suite, please mention you want the suite looking out to the water park / burj hotel. if they will put you on the other side you will not have any view from the balcony.

-buy your liquor at the airport of departure, you can only get drinks in the hotel or bars. if you open the liquor in the room, you will get drunk only looking at the price of the 0.35ltr bottle. +/- 70euro. also as a toerist you can not by alcohol in Dubai. you need licence. -

beachcomber suite is perfect for small childeren. there is a big living room and seperate child room. your on the ground floor and can walk easy to beach or pool -tip the cleaning person a good tip in the beginning. he will be so happy that he will indulge you with many small gifts & unlimited bath suplies. (nice to take home 30 pcs of BVLGARI sample bottles) -

went on friday to the lounge bar at the end of the pier. was a great partý, you will see things that you never have seen before. biggest bottles of Vodka i have ever seen in my life on the tables. smallest bottle of Vodka to buy there was smirnof black @ 133euro. what will costs the 3ltr bottles & Dom champagne on severel tables???? , if there is a que,, walk to the front and tell the big baboon that you have reservation in the below fish restaurant. he will greet you like a real guest instad of quepeople. (don't forget the dress code ? don't do this with shorts on :)

--biggest tip: we did the premium lesuire extra. this mean you can get from 3 till 6 free sandwiches & thee, than from 6 to 8 free drinks & snacks. (as[--] much alcohol as you can drink in 2 hours) someone from the hotel will escorte from the arrival at the airport. to the hotel. also you can go to the swimming pool only reserved for premium guest. this was great, other pools were realy to busy. again give the waiters a big tip in the beginning of the holiday. they will make sure that your place at the pool will be reserved for you. he will put the towels on the beds. (is better that getting up early to get your good spot again)
premium will costs something but i believe is worth it! next year childeren will be older, that we will go back to Al Qasr again. (was better than the beach, but not good for smaller childeren. best regards Ed

Have stayed at this hotel a number of times over the last eight years, but have to say that we thought the standards in a number of areas have started to slip. We were given a suite on the 4th floor, but requested a move after one night as the noise from the night club on the marina was relentless untill the early hours, the suite was also starting to look somewhat ' tired'. The so called executive area of the beach is a bit of a joke, as with temperatures reaching 35+c the lack of shaded areas was very poor. The ' happy hour ' in the execuitive lounge did not serve champagne only very cheap sparkling wine ( both the Al Qasr and Mina a Salam serve champagne ), we had an opened bottle of champagne removed from our room ( mistakenly I'm sure ), but the offered replacement after a lot of disussion was the cheap sparkling wine ( £3 abottle at duty free ), they then relented and begrudgingly sent half a bottle of Moet to our room! We are returning to Dubai later this year but will be staying at the Mina, where the service and facilities are still A1.

Just returned from Jumeirah Beach hotel and what a wonderful time we have had. ROOMS :The rooms are really lovely and if you are asked what floor and where you would like to be ask for a room where you can see the Burj al arab from your bed. We were on floor 9 which was high enough to have a fab view. UPGRADE: Having read other reviews we upgraded to premium leisure club which worked out well 3-5pm afternoon tea with sandwiches and cream teas then 6-8pm any alcoholic drink and enough canapes to have for your evening meal, the kids have games rooms and there is internet access.FOOD: We ate in latitude which was lovely food but pricey about £100 for 2 adults and one child (11). For a reasonable priced meal try Toscana which is an italian in the Madinet, take the free golf buggy to mina a salam and get on the free abra boat to the restaurant, dont forget your camara as the view is lovely,Beachcombers is lovely for breakfast out on the deck. Dubai has a tipping culture so make sure you have plenty of low value notes when you arrive. The free entry to wild wadi is well worth it and you can get in before the general public for an hour at 10am. The sea water is lovely and warm in May but the weather is very hot and probably a little too hot for fair skin it was 42 degrees when we left. You do not need to pack towels,beach bag,slippers shampoo, conditioner,shower gel, mouth wash as all provided including flip flops (although not that sylish being green and cream ! ) toiletries are elemis listerine etc so good brands. Our daughter is 11 and had a great time there is so much to do. We did pay for a speed boat trip aprox £75 for an hour, we were taken out around the palms to see hotel atlantis and then on to the marina it was wonderful we were all allowed to drive which was very thrilling, well worth the money. At certain times of day you can visit Burj al arab,dress code smart, men must wear filled in shoes, worth a quick look as very garish but worth it to go to the top in the outside lift. Mall of Emirates has an amazing amount of shops and the hotel transportation take you there and back, I would suggest that ladies wear a proper t/shirt or blouse or just put a wrap over your shoulders as I felt inappropriately dressed in a strappy sundress and had to buy a wrap !! For families this hotel is fantastic but singles or couples only go in school time as it is really full of kids in the holidays, but whatever you do GO and experience this for yourself.
