Habtoor Grand Resort, Autograph Collection

Stayed at the Habtoor for 6 nights in September with a friend and we enjoyed our stay. Our hotel room was lovely and spacious with a balcony and partial sea view so it was nice to wake up in the morning and see the Atlantis in the distance. We had half board and the buffet restaurant was excellent. Food was delicious and service was very good. We spent most of our holiday at the infinity pool as it was quieter than the main pools and kids are not allowed which suited us. We also did a spa treatment which was nice but it is not set out like a spa so didn’t really have that special touch compared to some other spas we have had in Dubai. On the whole I would recommend this hotel. Read less

Ok, so this is my second time in Dubai, the first time I stayed near the financial center and this time near the Marina/Jumeriah Beach. From the airport, I got a local taxi (yellow) and it cost me 110 AED. I would always recommend a local taxi; the black cabs will charge you a fixed amount but it will almost always be expensive. Local taxi men are honest and drive fast! They don't try and skim people. Ok so arrived at the hotel; a couple of drinks at the reception; the hotel is a dreammmm. The usher collected our bags and took us to our hotel; showed us everything we needed in the room. Breakfast is divinnneee; they have almost everything including a full English breakfast and they even have a pork section for those who prefer pork and they have beef sausages and beef bacon which I actually liked!! I see people having breakfast in the swimwear with a cover-up. In the financial city, I could never do this but here at this hotel it is honestly okay to be covered up in beachwear or wear shorts or tank tops as long as you cover up any obscenity then you are fine!! no one seems to mind and it is a mixed hotel full of English, Americans, Australians and Africans. Room service is top-notch the food is AMAZING (and this is coming from a fussy eater!!) *side note the room service is not cheap it is about £15 for a burger and chips :( which is like 90AED, but the burger is sooo big that you can share it with two people. :) We had bed and breakfast only which was fine as we ate out mostly. There are many restaurants available nearby and many bars locally. The pool is great, they have a fun slide by the pool; they have a swim-up pool bar for adults and beach party clubs behind the hotel; also they have a sports bar for football crazy fans and an infinity pool for a more intimate pool for couples. They will always be sun-loungers for everyone. Perhaps because there is so much space and also a beach available to for people to go. It is so hot that I guarantee everyone will be in the pool. ZERO GRAVITY which is a famous beach club is behind this hotel! (honestly about a 2-minute walk and you can get a golf buggy to drive you to the beach for free and walk over to zero gravity) - you will hear zero gravity from your hotel room so you might want to go out and party if you are about that lifestyle!! *sidenote you have to pay to get in but they do deals for ladies! We took a LOCAL taxi everywhere we needed to go as the taxi are so cheap in Dubai. We had to go into the city for a few clubs which costs us £10-15 for the journey which is fair but had I stayed in the city I would have been paying £3-9 of taxis. So consider this hotel carefully if your party scene is all the way on the other side of Dubai (i.e. Diera City + Downtown Dubai). We did not mind this though because it was just a 25min drive which isn't the worse thing in the world! Lastly, I would like to thank Jane at the reception; the most beautiful soul, always so cheery and made us feel SO SO SO welcome. She heard it was our anniversary and she arranged for rose petals display and chocolate for our room. She would see us stumble into the hotel at 4 am and would guide us to the lift and treat us soooo lovely. I will truly miss you!! Thank you! P.S all the staff works so hard!! and they only get 30min break and work 6 consecutive days in a row!! So always be nice to them!! :) Read less
