Just like to say we have stayed in jumierah Beach Hotel on many occasions in dubai and this hotel beats it hands down for luxery. This is our 8th visit here and it never fails to live up to expectations. Just like to say a special thank you to Fleur (personnel concierge) who went the extra mile to help on an issue we had, absolute credit to the hotel and is another reason we will be returning with all our family in September, please pass on our thanks to Fleur.

I had really HIGH hopes of this hotel. This was a weekend staycation for my parents as well. Only if I had read the reviews before visiting this 5-star hotel...
I had already opted for an early check-in and was excited to settle in our King Tower Suite. However, everything from check-in to check-out signaled I am not going to be pleased.
- Took an hour to get our room ready.
- Not great for people who need walking assistance
- Bedroom's phone wasn't working
- Really unclean conditions of suite that is atleast expected to be superior than others (why charge more than)
- Three people checked-in yet amenities just for two were placed in the room (no attention to detail)
- Long queue for check-out with just one person handling it. (Why have a long counter with multiple slots with just one person handling it?)
Hence, in a nutshell I am truly disappointed.

The hotel is beautiful and we had a gorgeous deluxe king room with a sea view. Reception staff were lovely and efficient. Very apologetic when our room was nice ready. As we were booked in for afternoon tea they kindly gave us one complimentary.
The afternoon tea was nice but not amazing. From this class of hotel I guess I expected something a little special.
A lovely lady, Fleur, showed us to our room. Very friendly and recommended where we should eat that evening.
Breakfast was good and what you would expect. Dinner in the Lexington the food was beautiful.
But there were things that did not live up to expectation from this hotel.
Afternoon tea the service was slow and our water forgotten. The uniforms not clean and one was ripped slightly.
Our room had a Malteser and other bits on the floor missed by the cleaner.
The Lexington, again took quite a while before anyone approached us and at least took our drink orders while we were waiting. It did not seem especially busy.
Poolside we ordered some water but after 20 mins it hadn???t arrived and we need to check out. I said I am sorry we have to go now as we are checking out could you please reverse the order. I was told it was too late and she couldn???t do that. Instead I was given the water bottle to take with me.
None of these are major but just not the high quality service I would expect.
