Sheraton Jumeirah Beach Resort & Towers - Dubai, UAE
April 12, 2008 12:16 pm Asia, Business Trip, Family Vacation, Hotels (Hotels and Resorts)Absolutely fantastic hotel with a huge garden of palm trees, a big swimming pool, a very well maintained beach, extremely helpful staff, clean and spacious rooms, perfect food quality.
We stayed in this hotel with my family (my wife and 2 sons - 2 and 7 years). It was a perfect refreshing trip. We stayed during early April 2008. As a general comment for the whole UAE, major construction works are ongoing. There’s a construction site just next to the hotel which may generate some noise during your relaxation. However, the ambience of the hotel is so relaxing that you don’t even mind it.
The quality of the food is perfect. The hotel is somewhat overpriced, as expected from Sheraton brand.
Rooms were comfortable. Housekeeping maintains the room around the clock. They even don’t mind to change towels three times a day. Everything is designed and thought for the comfort.
The resort has the activities through the week - belly dancer, children’s activities, open-buffet dinner, theme dinners, etc.
The hotel offers massages of different types in the middle of the palm tree garden.
The swimming pool may need some water toys; such as slides, etc.
The resort also has a football pitch.
The only problem we had was to find the location because of the construction works. However, here are the directions: Just follow Jumeirah Beach Road, connect it to Sufouh Road. Follow Sufouh Road, no right- or left-turns. When you think that the road has ended, you will see a kind of “hidden” sign that shows “Sheraton Hotel Only”, on a dark brown signboard. To make it clearer, you have to follow the road till Starbucks; and when you see Starbucks, you should continue another 100 meters to see the sign. Other than this problem, you expect no problems. The location of the hotel, if you’d like to look at it on Google Earth: 25° 4′23.73″N 55° 7′44.11″E. The web site is at: http://www.starwoodhotels.com/sheraton/property/overview/index.html?propertyID=1326
I just don’t know why they don’t have a picture of their beach on their web site; it is worth putting a picture of it!
This is a strongly suggested hotel for those who has the budget to spend.
