Reviews
One thing that make me suprise is the dental kit. Dental kit is mandatory amenities, so you need to call house keeping whenever you need it everyday.
First, the hotel's location is excellent. It's a 3-minute walk to the beach. Right outside, there's a large shopping mall, Starbucks, all sorts of restaurants, hotels, cafes, food, drinks, entertainment, and shopping, all within a 5-minute walk. There's also a large Carrefour and a Beauty Street where you can get salon services, SPA treatments, massages, and manicures. It's an incredibly convenient location.
Second, the hotel itself offers excellent service. From the window, you can see the Ain Dubai Ferris wheel and the sea. Enjoying a drink on the balcony is quite relaxing.
Third, the hotel includes two meals a day, either breakfast and dinner or breakfast and lunch. And the food for both meals is fantastic. Dinner offers a seafood buffet with a wide variety of seafood and fish. Lunch is also great, with two restaurant options: an Italian restaurant and a Greek restaurant, both included in the room rate. I tried the Greek restaurant, and the squid ink risotto and seafood soup were delicious. I didn't expect the hotel-included meals to be this good, which was a pleasant surprise.
I also need to mention a drawback: when looking at the hotel's room rates, you absolutely must consider the taxes and fees. Generally, the tax in the UAE is 20 dirhams per night, but the taxes at this hotel, or rather at all hotels in JBR, are actually quite high. After you see the room rate, pay special attention to the total amount payable, as it might be significantly higher than the room rate alone; the taxes could add up to nearly 1000 AED. I didn't notice the taxes initially and just booked directly. Then, when I paid, I wondered why it was over 1000 AED more than the room rate. I called Trip.com and found out there were substantial taxes, so this is something to be aware of. Everyone should pay more attention to this.
Aside from the issue with taxes, there are no other problems with this hotel. Starbucks is right next door. For women, there's a street nearby with many small perfume shops. I initially thought the perfumes would be mediocre, but I bought some and found their scents to be quite pleasant.
