Stayed here for the second time and I cannot fault the hotel or staff at all! They are always on hand for anything you need and nothing is too much for them! Omar at reception was amazing!! Spa is the best in dubai and well worth getting a few treatments in during your stay.

This hotel is lovely, setting and decor in lobby is breathtaking - you can understand why Mission Impossible was filmed there! Throughout our stay we felt that something was missing from it being truly 5 star. The signature restaurants are good but menu is limited when you are on Half Board (and needing to dine there more than once) but with the "Dine Around" program you can get to sample other Jumeirah restaurants which is a great benefit. We had an awful experience with Al-Nooforah who refused to accommodate making a basic meal - essentially the restaurant saying they did not have rice to make rice and chickpeas! - very pathetic!. Overall the service levels are a 3/5 at best but their management is clearly a 5/5 so there is a gap in messaging down to all levels. The Spa facilities is amazing and housekeeping team very thorough and efficient. Would I go there again...with so much competition it is a place you must visit but am still looking for that pure 5 star experience! Read less

We wanted to jet-ski so we went to Hydro Water Sports & Hasan from the sales team gave us a good price and booked us in. Ahmed picked us up and took us out on the water and we had the best experience doing the couples jet-ski. We saw some great sites and they took some amazing photos which we bought too! Go check them out!!

We have had an amazing stay at Zabeel and highly recommend booking water sports with Hydro Water Sports. Ahmed was great, looked after us really well on the jet skis and took some epic photos. Hassan & Kamal were also great.
