Boy was it hot.. off course we knew that upfront so we looked for cool places to stay during the day. The help from the e-concierge was outstanding and the level off all services was of the highest standard. From buggy service to the jumeirah hotels and restaurants across the hotel, the free entrance to wild wadi waterpark etc. As you would expect when going to this hotel but they truly lived up to their reputation. Really a great experience and nice to cool off at Sal beach club with great attentive staf again. If you want to get pampered there will be no better place. And don’t let the bling hold you back, it’s not just the place for the extremely rich and famous or the wannabe influencers who don’t want to work for it. It’s also very much for families who want to create lifelong memories. That’s what we did, thank you for that team Burj al Arab. Another great addition to our luxury hotel experiences. Read less

The Talise Spa at Burj Al Arab is truly an extraordinary experience. From the moment you walk in, the architectural aesthetics of the hotel are breathtaking. It's best to arrive early to fully enjoy everything the spa has to offer. We had lunch before our treatments, and the food was exceptional. The staff was incredibly accommodating; we requested cucumber lemonade, which wasn't on the menu, but they made it for us anyway. They also prepared a birthday cake for my sister's 40th birthday. The massages were among the best I've ever had, starting with a milk foot wash and scrub, followed by their signature massage. The staff was extremely professional and friendly, providing top-notch customer service. I highly recommend making this a part of your Dubai trip. Read less

The breakfast is rich and selective. Yes, the caramel French toast is delicious. The staff are friendly and helpful. It’s worth visiting again. Read less
