We expected the hotel to be surrounded by building work, but most of the building immediately round the hotel is complete. However, the whole of Dubai seems to be one big building site, which was a little off putting when driving in from the airport.
The hotel itself was really good - a good selection of restaurants and the pool, gardens and beach area were superb. The only negatives were that hotel guests reserved sun loungers early in the morning which was annoying and the service in the beach bar/restaurant varied from day to day.
The rooms were really clean and modern and the gym had excellent facilities.

We booked the Executive Plus room which included airport pick up and return.
After an overnight flight and clearing the immegration queue it was a welcome sight to be greeted by the hotel driver and taken to the car, BMW 7 series with a welcome cool interior and cold bottled water.
We quickly arived at the hotel which like so much in Jumeriah Beach is suurounded by ongoing building. Even though we arrived at 9.30 am and out room wasnt ready yet ,we were quickly checked in and shown to the Executive Lounge where we were invited to enjoy breakfast. Believe me it was a welcome invitation as the breakfast on the Virgin flight left a lot to be desired, even in upper Class.
Within an hour our room was ready . Spacios clean and smelling fresh. The houskeeping staff introduced themselves and reminded us that anything we needed was only a phone call away. Everyevening we had a turndown service including fresh towels and replacement of any of the toiletries used. The room was always cleaned to a high standard throughout our stay.
The staff within the Hotel were always friendly and welcoming and nothing appeared to be any trouble. Such a welcoming change from some other hotels.
The executive Lounge provides , in addition to breakfast, afternoon tea,.great scones,..and evening canapees. Well worth the extra you pay. agaimn the small team in the lounge got to know you quickly and always welcomed you.
Everything within the hotel was good, guest comfort and feel good factor being important to all the staff. The beach was clean and sunbeds were always comfortable, its so nice to be escorted to a sunbed and the towels laid out for you. Security staff on the beach quickly moved on any "univited onlookers" and you felt safe at all times. no hawkers trying to sell you their wares.
Will certainly use this hotel again when returning to Dubai, yes its on Jumeriah beach with building work going on around you but even so there is no noise to disturb your relaxation. the hotel offers a complimentary shuttle bus into the Malls and Gold Souk where yoiu can wander around comfortably and safely.
On leaving the return via hotel transportation was on time and so comfortable, The only time we touched our cases was on arrival in the airport and on departure from the hotel vehicle again at the airport.
All in all a wonderful hotel to stay at and I woudl recommend it to everyone

We stayed at the Hilton at the end of January 2008 and enjoyed the stay. I think it is important to remember that this hotel is one of the cheaper beach front options on the Jumeriah Beach. If you base your expectations with that in mind...then you will not be dissapointed.

It is a modern clean hotel...with a good beach. Dining options are good, rooms are a good size, clean and modern. Either side of the hotel is a bit of building site...but its Dubai...so expected. The good news is the buildings behind are all complete...but on either side its pretty messy...so try to get a room which looks out onto the pool.

Overall it is a good quality hotel and would reccomend the hotel if you can get a good deal....or if your budget cannot stretch to the LRM.

We enjoyed the stay but would probably try another hotel on the jumeriah beach next time.

Although I am sure there are other hotels in the city that are just as nice, this hotel proivded an EXCELLENT beach view, awesome staff, and plenty of relaxing time! They have a great fitness room and the Skyview bar was excellent! We have no regrets staying here for the two nights that we did! Would go again!
