We stayed at the JUMEIRAH ZABEEL SARAY in September 2023 for 10 nights. The service from the Hotel was Excellent from the minute we arrived and the welcome we got from the Staff and The management was wonderful as we have stayed at the hotel a few times .We were welcomed by the Reception Manager Karine and William. We have stayed at the Hotel before in 2017 2018 and 2019 . The staff are great and very friendly and very helpful if you needed anything they would do there very best to help you with your needs . We booked the Club room package which was Excellent value. We were greeted by Jamaica Sana and Selina Dudhraj Joseph and Patricia in the Reception Area every morning. And in the Club room by the Club room Manager and his staff. Alexandra who was training was very professional in booking us in to our Rooms and showing us around. Every morning in the club room we were greeted by Rozyta Bobeta Sarah and Alexandra when we went to breakfast. The Rooms Are Lovely and very Spacious well set out ,great views from the balconies, Beds were very comfortable, with all in room amenities . We received Complimentary fruit every day in our rooms. The Swimming pool area and the Beach were great everything was well set out . The Restaurants in the hotel were great and well staffed and set out ,the food was excellent we had a different restaurant every night for our meals. This Hotel is one of the best that we have stayed at in Dubai. We will be returning again in September.. We would highly recommend this hotel.... Read less

An excellent short break with my family in the beautiful Zabeel Saray. The staff are incredible and nothing is too much trouble. We went half board with the club lounge option, and the attention to detail in the club lounge from the staff was phenomenal. The food choices are great and it is nice to have a few different options. The rooms are beautiful, spacious and spotlessly clean. We used the beach which again was amazing and small details like cold towels and ice lollies were given during the day. The sports bar is again manned by incredible staff, who really make you welcome. Thank you Zabeel Saray for an incredible stay and I will definitely be returning. Read less

Let me start by saying I'll probably get a copy and paste response - "we will feedback to the relevant departments". I hate writing bad reviews but anyone booking I want you to be aware. 1. They sell day passes to outside guests which means they use the facilities for free but have a minimum food and drink spend. They kept selling these passes even when the hotel was full, resulting in no sunbeds and poor service for hotel guests. Felt like I was in Benidorm waking up at 7am to secure a sunbed. When I spoke to three managers about it, I was told they are not selling day passes because the hotel was full (the guests around the hotel told me differently), I went on the Jumeriah website and guess what I booked day passes. The Fairmont stopped day passes due to being full and the only place you could book them was here, so they ended up with double the number of day visitors. 2. Service by the pool is bad. Order your food 45mins before you want it. The call button is either not working or the staff just ignore. My wife is vegan and was given a meat spaghetti. 3. In the room you would need to call two or three times for the same request before it got done. 4. There is a blame the guest culture here. "You should've asked before you arrived" is what I got told when I arrived to one bed to sleep three children. 5. There is a lying culture here - "we did not promise to move your room, we told you we would try our best" - I have a WhatsApp message that proves what was said. The lying continued "no we are not selling day passes" - proof i have an email with a day pass booking. 6. Check in - long queues. No nice welcome after being on a 7 hour flight with 4 kids. It was just painful. 7. Overall they have very poorly trained staff. The service is just poor. The woman at the fruit counter at breakfast - particularly poor attitude. Chopping that watermelon after ignoring you five times doesn't leave you overall happy. Now I must add after constantly complaining they gave us credit on the room, but that's not what i want! £250 hotel credit when I've spent £12k on a holiday is not ok. I would like what i paid for, not a freebie. Priya at breakfast was fantastic! The restaurants including Amala was fantastic. Rooms are clean and well stocked. Kids club was fab! Overall not a 5 star. the hotel lets down the Jumeirah group big time!!! The leadership and management are to blame. Chloe Greenwood – no where to be seen & the management block you from speaking to her Read less

So, this is without a doubt a lovely hotel, stunning rooms, great public area, good beach, great restaurants, BUT it has become mind bogglingly expensive. Despite being half board and only one of us having mid day meals we averaged £200 a day on a couple of drinks with dinner and perhaps one during the day. For example a bottle of water with your meal equates to £13.50, and it manages three glasses - that’s £4.50 a glass and that has to be a world record. Also, as the week went on and the hotel became full there were no sunbeds to be had - just frustrated people on the beach wanting to sit down. So when full elements of the hotel creak. We’ve been to this hotel several times but I think it’s been found poorly wanting this time round. Read less
