This was our first time in Dubai and we stayed by the JBH upon the recommendation of the travel agent based on the fact that there was a lot of construction work going on at the other end of the beach. We were not disappointed.
Bathroom was wonderful and complete with all the goodies that you need - body lotion, bath gel, shampoo, conditioner, sun tan lotion, lip salve, tissues etc etc. Shower was a 2-3 person size (not that I shared it).
Bedroom was spacious and overlooked the sea. Plenty of wardrobe space and a safe. Hairdryer in dressing table and flat screen TV from which you could access your personal account. Bottled water plentiful for which you are not charged.
Various restaurants throughout the hotel. We ate at most of them and had no cause for complaint. Had a steak at La Parilla (the dearest steak we've ever had at approx £32 each), but worth every penny. Absolutely fabulous, complete with 2 chips and a little dish of sauce of some description. Mmmm yummy!!
The only downside that we encountered was that we asked for a quiet room and mid height. The odd numbered rooms are to one side of the hotel and the evens to the other. We were allocated room 333 which was low and almost overlooking the Wild Wadi. When we suggested mid height I would have assumed that we would have been given 12th floor. I suppose that the management would have moved us if we'd have requested it but after 13 hours travelling we were shattered. Then once you've unpacked it's hassle to re-pack and not my favourite job anyway. Thursday nights are late Wild Wadi nights and the noise went on past midnight which was unacceptable. This was not the only night that we heard noise from the park. It was annoying when we were trying to get an early night, but overall the hotel was brilliant. Staff were so helpful and attentive. Poolside staff wandered round with lollies and cold sprays. Food was lovely and the position of the hotel was excellent.
Free shuttle bus to the Mall of the Emirates and the Gold and Diamond Park.
We'll definitely be going back to Dubai. Absolutely loved it.
