Stay 23/8/08 for 4 nights. Easy check-in although english not great of the check in man at 8am after a long flight over from Gatwick. Rooms clean and tidy. Average view, had to put neck out of window to see pool and sea view. Pool area not recommeded for young kids/babies, 1 x very small childrens pool and parents fighting to get beds near pool to be close to kids. Lots of beds for adults, beach etc etc. Staff friendly and helpful. Food good. We were only B&B and it kept us going until later afternoon. All staff really friendly and couldnt do enough for you. We had no issues with hotel at all and would stay again but will probably save up for Jumeriah Beach. Only negative is childrens pool - and they will need one as its so hot!

We normally stay at the Hilton Dubai Creek but we thought we'd try this one for a change (it's also cheaper). We arrived very late at night after our flight was delayed and were shown to a room. We were very disappointed as we had booked a suite but we were tired and just flopped into bed. In the morning we queried our booking and were eventually moved to our suite with the sincere apologies of the staff.
This room was fantastic and the hotel itself is beautiful. The beach area looked very nice but unfortunately it rained almost all the time we were there and didn't get the use of the beach or the pool.
We ate in a few nights and the food was very good and reasonably priced.
If we went back to Dubai we would probably go back here as opposed to Dubai Creek.

We wanted a short break somewhere hot & sunny and decided on Dubai as other family members had been to Dubai and said it was a great place for a break. We flew with Qatar ailrlines which were excellent. On arrival we were met and transfered to the hotel free of charge in a BMW as we had booked an 'Executive suite' - this made the start to our break just great!

On arrival at the hotel we were given drinks and checked in promptly - another swift and organised service. The following morning we decided to try the Executive Lounge for breakfast as we had booked an 'Executive suite'. It was lovely and quiet and the staff were very friendly and attentive to our needs.

The hotel has its own private beach & pool that were excellent and very staffed. I was very impressed how quickly the staff dealt with another holidaymaker who was sufferring with the intense heat. I saw a staff & a hotel medic arrive very quickly to attend to the holidaymaker.

We ate in the hotel on the first day which was excellent with a very good selection of vegetarian food. The only thing I would say is that it was very pricey.

We decided to try other places like Emirates Mall & Ruby Tuesday - again very good service and nice non-alcoholic cocktails!.

Room service was excellent and they paid attention to detail (little sea shells left on the bed) - nice touch.

Would we go again - Yes!. we weren't bothered about shopping etc and just wanted to relax, so it was ideal for us.

I look forward to going again and staying in this great hotel.

This is an above average hotel, especially if you upgrade to Executive level. Transfer is included and makes such a great start to the holiday. As usual to get to Dubai we had to travel overnight and arrived somewhat exhausted at 8:00 the next day. We did hope to be able to check in early (normal check in is 14:00) but this wasn't possible. Tip: Carry a change of clothing suitable for the sun lounger and also a small bottle of sun tan cream in hand luggage or get a bottle on arrival - Had we done that things would have started a lot better!

Got a room a 13:00 but with no balcony (very few rooms at this hotel have no balcony) this was changed straight away, but we had another hour wait for the room.

When we arrived in the room though we had flowers, fruit a bottle of wine and a lovely presentation box of dates by way of an apology - a lovely large room with balcony.

Food and drinks seem quite expensive here so the happy two and a half hours was very welcome (in the executive lounge all included in the price) The lounge wasn't so much a lounge as a bistro or Cafe area where you could have snacks and drinks (only one settee and two comfortable chairs in the lounge) which was a bit of a pity. However its was very clean and a welcome break from the 42 degree temperature outside. Its worth a visit to a very new shopping mall over the road as they sell drinks a lot lot cheaper.

The beach is OK but the sea is lovely. Like stepping into your bath - No seaweed and very few stones underfoot.

Would we come back - definately!
