We wanted a short break somewhere hot & sunny and decided on Dubai as other family members had been to Dubai and said it was a great place for a break. We flew with Qatar ailrlines which were excellent. On arrival we were met and transfered to the hotel free of charge in a BMW as we had booked an 'Executive suite' - this made the start to our break just great!

On arrival at the hotel we were given drinks and checked in promptly - another swift and organised service. The following morning we decided to try the Executive Lounge for breakfast as we had booked an 'Executive suite'. It was lovely and quiet and the staff were very friendly and attentive to our needs.

The hotel has its own private beach & pool that were excellent and very staffed. I was very impressed how quickly the staff dealt with another holidaymaker who was sufferring with the intense heat. I saw a staff & a hotel medic arrive very quickly to attend to the holidaymaker.

We ate in the hotel on the first day which was excellent with a very good selection of vegetarian food. The only thing I would say is that it was very pricey.

We decided to try other places like Emirates Mall & Ruby Tuesday - again very good service and nice non-alcoholic cocktails!.

Room service was excellent and they paid attention to detail (little sea shells left on the bed) - nice touch.

Would we go again - Yes!. we weren't bothered about shopping etc and just wanted to relax, so it was ideal for us.

I look forward to going again and staying in this great hotel.

This is an above average hotel, especially if you upgrade to Executive level. Transfer is included and makes such a great start to the holiday. As usual to get to Dubai we had to travel overnight and arrived somewhat exhausted at 8:00 the next day. We did hope to be able to check in early (normal check in is 14:00) but this wasn't possible. Tip: Carry a change of clothing suitable for the sun lounger and also a small bottle of sun tan cream in hand luggage or get a bottle on arrival - Had we done that things would have started a lot better!

Got a room a 13:00 but with no balcony (very few rooms at this hotel have no balcony) this was changed straight away, but we had another hour wait for the room.

When we arrived in the room though we had flowers, fruit a bottle of wine and a lovely presentation box of dates by way of an apology - a lovely large room with balcony.

Food and drinks seem quite expensive here so the happy two and a half hours was very welcome (in the executive lounge all included in the price) The lounge wasn't so much a lounge as a bistro or Cafe area where you could have snacks and drinks (only one settee and two comfortable chairs in the lounge) which was a bit of a pity. However its was very clean and a welcome break from the 42 degree temperature outside. Its worth a visit to a very new shopping mall over the road as they sell drinks a lot lot cheaper.

The beach is OK but the sea is lovely. Like stepping into your bath - No seaweed and very few stones underfoot.

Would we come back - definately!

Returned to this hotel virtually a year to the day for another weeks stay to see if they could match the excellent service we received last time we visited. We were not disappointed and if anything the level of service was bettered by the fact we were upgraded onto the executive floor.
As far as the facilities and restaurants etc. they have all been mentioned below in previous posts and I have found them all to be of a high standard. There are hotels that are newer and offer more bling for your bucks but this hotel is in a great location, with a great beach and virtually all the major work around the hotel is now complete and your stay will not be affected by any noise etc.
The attitude of the staff at this hotel is second to none, whether at management level or housekeeping/ waiter level they are constantly smiling and cheerful and nothing is genuinely too much trouble to ensure your stay is a memorable one.
I initially doubted my decision to return to this hotel again as there is such a choice of hotels in Dubai but after this experience I will no doubt return again next year.

Having read the many positive reviews on here for the Hilton Dubai Jumeirah, we were not to be disappointed.

On arrival we were greeted with a cold drink before a very efficient check in. The room was spacious and extremely clean, absolutely no complaints on the standard of the room (perhaps only being allocated to room number 666 !!!)

The general standard of the hotel was high with public areas being very well maintained. The only criticism I have is the needless ‘reservation’ of sun beds at the pool area by fellow guests. All beds had towels on them from early in the morning when most appeared to be not in use. This is surely something the Hilton could address in some way. This problem did not exist on the beach area however where there were beds aplenty to choose from. The beach was idyllic and was kept superbly clean by the Hilton staff. The drinks service offered around the beach area was also excellent.

We ate in Bice & Studio One. Bice certainly had the ambience and décor however I felt is was perhaps a little overpriced for the end product. Studio One was also pricey however the food was plentiful and perfectly edible.

As for Dubai itself, it did not live up to all the hype and expectation that preceded our trip. It has a very much unfinished feel to it and I will only return in a number of years to see what it has to offer then. For example, opposite the hotel, they are building an area called ‘The Walk.’ This looks as though it will be a selection of shops and restaurants, which to me is what the vicinity of the Hilton desperately needs. All that was open was ‘Chilis’ which opened during our stay (and very nice indeed.) There was also a Chinese called ‘Chowking’ that looked to be almost ready to open. As mentioned in a previous review, Marco Pierre White and Frankie Dettori’s restaurant is also just across the road. The day we ventured over it had a ‘Closed for Lunch’ sign on the door – yes that’s true !!!

A word of caution about Dubai Airport. We flew with Royal Brunei airlines and when checking in to come home we were shepherded to a different check-in location than the Emirates flights. It was shambolic, like a cattle market and a complete free for all as people jostled trolleys trying to push their way to the front. If Dubai is serious with the level of growth in tourism they are predicting, this is a problem they need to get rectified and fast !

In summary, if you choose the Hilton Dubai Jumeirah as your hotel you will not be disappointed, top marks from me, if not for Dubai itself as a holiday destination.
