Ours was Kieran , who was thoughtful and caring to make our stay the best it could have been . The rooms are spacious and to a high standard. With all the facilities you would expect from a top Jumeriah property , beach is a mile long connecting the other hotels , with a abundance of restaurants, shimmers and the French beach are the pick of the bunch , avoid the one on the pier . Overall the hotel , staff and management do a excellent job to meet expectations and beyond Read less

Having travelled on holiday for many years to various hotels in Dubai, this was by far the best. Superb restaurants all on one resort, coupled with stunning views of the gulf. Individual service provided by our butler Shashi was outstanding and polite and efficient service by cleaner Fasial made the whole experience memorable.

Full disappointment: We have booked a sea view villa and received a room with view to the back of a restaurant. Villa number 1. No options to change the room. We hear noises from the restaurant - bringing in and out food. No sea view as booked. The rooms are not luxurious also.
