Looking to book a hotel for about 8 or 9 days, I was thinking of going for The Jumeirah beach hotel, was just wondering if anybody had experiences of hotels around there and which ones were best for the money. Ideally looking for some family activities as well as a lovely beach.

I've been there briefly, it seems OK for Dubai. It is likely VERY hot - when we were there it was too hot to go on the beach.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

Beautiful hotel with an amazing wine bar on the 24th floor. Sitting watching the view at night is just heaven.
Are you taking the kids? Bit expensive just for a family break isn't it? There are loads of commercial ones a bit further up the coast the other side of the Palm which will do much better and maybe cater for Brits better. That one is a fab hotel but I certainly wouldn't say it's value for money when you are looking at a family hol.....
I've stayed that the Grand Hyatt but it's no where near the beach.
If you are trying to cater for the kids try the Palms as they have all the water parks. I believe there is a water park next to the Burj Al Arab so close to Jumeirah saying that.
Why Dubai by the way? The heat can ruin a holiday if you get it wrong....
Oh, and you have to watch yourself over there. It's not a place that westerners can just do what they want by any stretch of the imagination....Last edited by northernladuk; 1 May 2014, 16:05.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

Also the westerner issue is not really much for us as we have been to plenty of countries in that part of the world and family/friends have been based there for years...Comment

Originally posted by NorthWestPerm2Contr View PostI am going to Dubai for family reasons - have relatives and friends there + it's a meeting point for other relatives who are coming from elsewhere in the world. So will be going there regardless. Am aware of the heat and just want to make best use of the situation, swimming may only be possible early in the morning and late in the evening.

Apart from that I can't really help. There are so many good hotels there I think you will be spoilt for choice.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment
