Just returned from a stay at this hotel that is located on the beach around 40 mins from the airport. I can support the positive feedback from other members. The hotel is clean throughout, the staff are first class, nothing is too much bother. There is a good choice of restaurants use on the site. The hotel provide towels for use on the beach & around the pool, the private beach area is clean and tidy and is serviced by a number of staff so you do not have to get up to get a drink!. The price of alcohol is expensive 31 Dirham for a pint of Fosters ( 7 =£1)

Outside the hotel all the building work has been completed only the final touches being added along the 'Walk' A number of food outlets are currently being finished or are already trading, these include Chilli's, Ruby Tuesdays, a Mexican, Starbucks, Pizza place. There is also a bank opened opposite with an ATM in the foyer.

All in all a fine place to stay with the developments outside adding to the experience. I would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel to other members.

Stay at this hotel as part of a two centre holiday in Hong Kong and Dubai. Enjoyed our stay at this hotel very much. I had already stayed at the Oasis Beach (which is next door) previously so knew what the area was like. There are very high buildings behind the hotel and there is still a lot of building work going on but this really not a problem so don't let this put you off. The bedrooms are large and immaculately maintained. We had breakfast and dinner included in our rate and enjoyed the food in the buffet restaurant. The main positive feature of this hotel is the staff. They are excellent, always pleasant and deliver a first rate service. The beach area is lovely and loungers and sun umbrellas are plentiful. As mentioned in a previous review red flags are placed on all the beach/pool tables and you just put the flag up for someone to come and take your order for drinks or food. You can also sign for everything so there is no need to take cash down to the pool or beach. I would definitely recommend stayingin the Jumeirah Beach area if staying in Dubai as it worth paying extra to stay at the beach. There are also plenty of watersports available.

Although I tend to go for modern design hotels I must say I quite liked the Hilton Jumeirah. You can tell it's a child of the 70s with some recent renovations, but they have kept it up with much devotion making it a very pleasant beach resort away from the city. Having said that, there is quite a bit of highrise bulding going on, throwing their shade on the beach at certain times.
Service was excellent. If you have the choice, go for limousine pick up from the airport. You get a brand new BMW 7 series for peanuts!

I have just returned from a week in Dubai, staying at Hilton Dubai Jumeriah with my family.

Hotel is fantastic. Real 5 star. Its in a great location, right on the beach. With a great pool and gardens.

There is a lot of building work going on in the area, but we were not bothered by it at all. They thought it added to the overall excitement of Dubai.

Staff are brilliant, very friendly. they cant do enough for you.

On arrival our credit card was swiped so that they could charge everything to our room which was great and meant we didn’t need to worry about carrying money around with us.

The hotel room was large and very comfortable. With massive beds, mini bar, satellite TV, Iron, hair dryer and tea and coffee making facilities. Good size bathroom with bath, shower and toilet. We also had connecting rooms which was good.

The hotel, rooms, grounds and beach were all immaculate, and facilities were all spotlessly clean.

We stayed on a bed and breakfast basis, but ate in the hotel 3 out of the 7 nights. We ate in the “Oceania Restaurant“ which was a buffet, their was plenty to choose from and the food was gorgeous.

We also ate in the “BICE” restaurant, this restaurant serves Italian food and has been voted one of the best restaurants in Dubai. The food was fabulous, though is expencive, but you do get what you pay for.

Breakfast is buffet style. They have everything to choose from including bacon which I didn’t expect to see in a Muslim country.

Snacks are available all day at the pool bar and beach bar.

Drinks were great, you could get everything including Guinness and Fosters. Also they do brilliant cocktails. All alcohol is imported so it is a bit expensive.

If you are thirsty on the beach all you have to do is put a red flag up and the man on the beach buggy will be over to take your order.

The hotel runs a free shuttle bus to malls and gold souk.

The gold was an experience and the gold was expensive, but worth having a look!!!!!

By far the best bargains are to be had at the fake market at the “Al Karama Centre“. You just need to tell the man in the shops that your looking for fake designer bags, shoes, sunglasses and you will be taken to a secret room, probably in a different building, and you will enter designer fake heaven… We loved it.

We visited “Mall of the Emirates” on several occasions, it is fantastic, and has shops there for everyone on every budget. Also so in this mall, is “Ski Dubai”.. it a definite must whilst in Dubai, you don’t have to Ski, you can just go into the Snow Park, which was brilliant. My sister tried skiing (discovery lesson) she said was fun but her muscles ached for a few days after!!!!.

We went on a Dow cruise, on the creek. We cooked it through the tour rep, it was great, the food on board was good and to see Dubai creek all lit up was brilliant.

We also had afternoon tea at the “Burj Al Arab”. It cost about £55 each, but worth every single penny. The afternoon tea is actually 7 course, Champagne, Tea / coffee / chocolate (selection available), Sandwiches, Beef Wellington, Sorbet, Scones, Berry Basket, Cakes and Sweets. The hotel is breath taking and the afternoon was defiantly a time I will remember for the rest of my life.

We booked and flew to Dubai with Virgin Holidays. We flew economy class, which was fine. The entertainment on board was great, and the seats were comfortable.

The weather was great, always in the high 30’s. low 40’s. We come back with a brilliant tan, but I really did think it was to hot some days to sit on the beach, but the malls are always cool ha ha

All in all we had a brilliant time and would go back tomorrow.
