“It's all about the finishing touches”

Le Royal Meridien Beach Resort & Spa

May 16, 2008
6/6 found this review helpful

Myself (32) and my boyfriend (39) chose to stay at Le Royal Meridien in Dubai for two reasons:

1. We had stayed at their sister hotel, Le Meridien Mina Sehayi, 2 years ago

2. Our friends had stayed at Le Royal Meridien last year

We arrived early, around 9am and there was no problem with checking in despite their usual check in time of 12pm...or is it 2pm? Can't remember, either way we were early and I was dreading having to wait around for a room when all I wanted to do was unpack and get my bikini on!

When we checked in we were asked if we were celebrating a special occasion and when we told them it was a belated birthday treat we found a birthday cake and some chilled sparkling wine in our room that evening.

We had booked a Club room which was clean and comfortable although I felt the decor was a little dated - the Tower rooms are alot more contemporary. However we didn't experience any problems with the room - there were clean towels morning and evening, housekeeping were prompt with supplying us with ironing facilities and collecting/returning our laundry, a daily newspaper was always hanging on our door early in the morning and our bed had always been turned down upon our return in the evening.

Note:

i) Men can wear shorts to Le Meridien Mina Sehayi Club Terrace but have to wear trousers at Le Royal Meridien Club Terrace

ii) Internet service is available within the Club building at Le Meridien Mina Sehayi but not at Le Royal Meridien Club building

By day we found the pool/beach service excellent - cold towels, frozen ice drinks and cold water sprays were regularly distributed and a waiter service for food/drink is available so you don't even have to leave the comfort of your sunlounger.

Loved the camels on the beach!

In the evening we usually went out of the hotel, however on our first night we ate in Prime Rib - great service, fantastic steak and lots of it so don't eat too much during the day!

We also visited another of their sister hotels, Grovesnor House - I would say it was more of a business hotel, but then I'm a beach hotel junkie! Highly recommend The Buddha Bar (smoky but funky!), Bar 44 (fantastic views of Dubai) and Mezzanine (Gary Rhodes restaurant - fabulous food)

Other places we went (in case you're interested!):

The One & Only Royal Mirage - we had drinks in the rooftop terrace bar (lounge away!) and then ate in Nina (Indian with a twist - lamb dish was to die for)

If you need to stretch your legs try the Madinat - an area in Dubai that you can actually walk around! We went to:

Jumeriah Beach Hotel's 360 Bar - this is a rooftop bar and sundown is a must but be warned if you go in the hotter months the temperature is still hot at this time (6.30pm ish) so wear cool clothes, preferably in dark colours!

Meat & Co - we took a golf buggy and then a little boat from 360 Bar into the Madinat area and decided to soak up the alcohol with a burger from Meat & Co - best burger I've ever had!

Al Qasar Hotel Pierchic Restaurant - a fabulous seafood restaurant located on the end of a pier - you have to book this a few weeks in advance!

Montogomeri's 19 Restaurant - probably not the first place you would think to choose as it is located on a golf course but as we have friends who live out in Dubai they are regulars at this restaurant and after having a meal there we understand why - outstanding, mouthwatering food

All in all a fantastic holiday (albeit it damned hot!) and already planning on revisiting in October/November...I can't wait!

“Simply Superb!!”

Le Royal Meridien Beach Resort & Spa

5 of 5 stars
Wolverhampton
May 5, 2008
5/5 found this review helpful

This hotel is fantastic, it has all the facilities you could ask for and the beach is brilliant. We went for our wedding anniversary, and they made us feel so special and welcome. All the staff are polite,very friendly and helpful. We had to wait for our room because we didn't book an early check in...our flight landed at 07:00. However, we were upgraded to a Towers Room... and boy was it worth the wait. When I stay again I will book this room.

1. Towers Room - you have fabulous views of the arabian gulf, the rooms are very clean and modern, you have your own personal butler, you could not wish for more. Rooms are well decorated with TV/DVD/HIFI and complimentary internet access in the room if you have a laptop. You get a complimentary bottle of red/white wine each day, plus fresh fruit and choclates on your bedside in the evening. I am really fussy with my rooms but I was over the moon with my room.

2. The beach is fab. Very clean, lots of sun loungers and parasolls, the staff bring round complimentary cold towels, and water sprays while you are basking in the sun. You can order drinks on the beach and the service is good. You don't need to worry about beach towels as they give you free towels. You can also go for a camel ride too!!

3. There are 3 clean and relaxing pools.

4. Service is paramount

5. There is a free shuttle that takes you to the mall of the emirates and the gold souks, and wafi centre mall. Don't make the mistake I made by booking a seperate three night stay in the city because I though this was far out...I would have happily stayed on here because you have complimentary shuttle bus service.

6. The hotel has a sister hotel at Grosvenor House, 2 mins away. Shuttle service provided. You can eat at Grosvenor House and put it on your bill for the Le Royal Meridien. I would strongly recomment Bar 44 which is very chic and you can see the palm jumeriah, and definately the Buddah Bar at Grosvenor House. Great ambience with a big gold buddah.....the food is magnificent!!!

7. The resturants at not cheap..they are fairly expensive..average £50-£60 per meal for 2....but there are more expensive places. But the food is worth it. The Le Royal Meridien has several excellent resturants with live entertainment.

8. The Spa is fab, clean and relaxing, the hamam pools are excellent.

9. I WOULD NOT LOOK ANYWHERE ELSE FOR A PERFECT BEACH HOTEL...I WILL BE STAYING HERE AGAIN..THIS IS FROM SOMEONE WHO HAS STAYED AT THE MADINAT JUMERIAH - AL QSAR. THIS PLACE IS FANTASTIC, NO COMPLAINTS!!!

At the time I can't find my SD card with the room pictures but the other pictures on the hotel reviews are correct.

“Consistently outstanding”

Le Royal Meridien Beach Resort & Spa

May 2, 2008
1/2 found this review helpful

We are avid Dubai fans and have stayed in a number of hotels across the City - all very good. But we keep coming back to the Royal Meridien because it has a fantastic blend of facilities, food and outstanding service. We have been fortunate to be upgraded to the Tower on a couple of occasions (fabulous views), have stayed in Club (nice benefits but views a bit hit and miss) and we're about to go back to stay in the normal rooms twice in August.

The grounds are lovely - we particularly like the number of sunbeds so whatever time you get down to the pool there is always somewhere to sit.

Paul in the pool-side bar is brilliant at lunch time and all the staff are very responsive and friendly.

Given the Jumeirah Beach, the Mina Salam, the Meridien Mina Seyahi, the Dar Al Masyaf and the One and Only, we would base ourselves at the Royal Meridien every time.

I just wish they would reward loyalty a bit better - but that's my only (minor) complaint.

“The BEST hotel in Dubai”

Le Royal Meridien Beach Resort & Spa

May 1, 2008
2/3 found this review helpful

We stayed as a family at this hotel for a week in April. It was SUPERB. We could not fault the cleanliness, food and service levels of the staff. Don't look anywhere else for a hotel - it's not cheap, but it's not the most expensive either. All the staff at the hotel were excellent - one of the best hotels we've stayed in. We shall return next year.
