Beach Hotel
Jumeirah is characterized by sandy beaches along a sublime coastline and stands as one of the wealthiest regions of Dubai. The reason to be here is sun, sea and sand and Jumeirah Beach Hotel is located at the heat of the action for all three. It promises to have "given itself completely to the pleasures of life." Whilst that might seem like a rash promise to make, one step inside instantly proves otherwise. Shaped like a wave to complement the nearby Burj al Arab's dhow-sail front, it is an imposing shape against the skyline and even more so inside. International hedonists and hard-working businessmen alike head here for rest and recreation and legend has it that the hotel has conceived a record number of children. Whether your stay is innocently uneventful or thrillingly chaotic, there's an activity here for every predilection. <br />
The Room
As guests receive complimentary access to the Wild Wadi Waterpark next door and the exceptionally spacious private beach, it may be that the rooms themselves are somewhat underused. Over 600 ocean-facing rooms feature balconies looking out over the sea and modern amenities include flatscreen TVs with an array of English and Arabic channels, DVD players and free Internet access via the hotel’s wireless system. Like many 5-stars in the area, aerobics, yoga classes, basketball and snorkeling are among the onsite activities, whilst the concierge can recommend a suitable safari further afield. A sports club, spa and range of beauty treatments soothe skin stressed by a long-haul flight. Finally, knowledgeable and receptive staff add to a thriving atmosphere, making it one of the warmest welcomes a guest could hope to receive.
