Beach Hotels in Dubai

Due to my own reasons, I arrived at the hotel in the early morning, prepared to check in in the afternoon or pay extra for early check-in. However, the front desk was excellent; they helped me with my luggage, gave me 3 complimentary breakfasts, and very kindly let us eat first, then quickly prepared my room! The room was ready and I could check in by around 9 AM. All the hotel rooms are sea-facing, directly overlooking the Burj Al Arab, offering unparalleled views! There are several Jumeirah Group hotels nearby, and each has beautiful pools and beaches. Hotel guests can share these facilities, which is very convenient. Our room package included two meals. I initially thought it would just be the hotel buffet, but the front desk provided a list of restaurants from which we could choose our preferred one. We picked Rockfish, and the food was Michelin-level, which we were very satisfied with.

We had a fantastic stay at The Ritz-Carlton Dubai, and it turned out to be one of our most memorable hotel experiences ever. At first glance, the property may look a bit “old school” in design — and yes, some modernization might be needed soon — but once you spend time here, you realize it has something far more valuable: true warmth, character, and heart. In a world of glossy “design hotels” that often feel empty in spirit, I would choose this one any day. A huge compliment goes to the housekeeping team, especially Sachith Karan, who did an outstanding job every day. The room was spotless, beautifully arranged, and filled with thoughtful touches. Sachith’s professionalism and genuine care made a real difference and truly reflected the Ritz-Carlton spirit. The grounds are breathtaking — lush gardens, peaceful walkways, and multiple pools that even have well-placed shade, which is perfect in the Dubai heat. There are activities and games to enjoy throughout the property, making it ideal for both relaxation and fun. The food here is excellent across the board, but a special mention must go to the Arabic outdoor restaurant on-site — it’s pure magic. The atmosphere, the flavors, the setting under the stars — it captures the essence of Dubai in the most beautiful way. Most of all, the team makes this hotel what it is. Every staff member is kind, attentive, and genuinely caring. You never feel like just another guest — you feel truly welcomed and valued. In short: while it may not have the ultra-modern look of some newer hotels, The Ritz-Carlton Dubai shines where it truly matters — heart, hospitality, and unforgettable atmosphere. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommended.

Atlantis The Palm: a true luxury getaway! Stayed here recently and loved every minute. The service was top‑notch — the staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and always ready to help with anything we needed. The rooms are spacious and stylish, with amazing sea views. Aquaventure Waterpark and The Lost Chambers Aquarium are must‑sees. Great restaurants, lovely beach and pools. A perfect mix of luxury and fun — highly recommend! 🌟

We had a wonderful stay at Waldorf Astoria The Palm. The hotel is beautifully maintained, and the service throughout our visit was exceptional. A special mention goes to the housekeeping team, who kept our room spotless every day with great attention to detail. The room service was prompt, professional, and consistently delivered high-quality meals and service. What truly stood out was the staff. Every team member we interacted with was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely eager to help, making us feel valued throughout our stay. The only minor drawback was that the pool is not very large, so it can feel a bit crowded during busy periods. However, this did not take away from the overall experience. Overall, we had a fantastic stay and would happily recommend Waldorf Astoria The Palm to anyone looking for excellent service, immaculate rooms, and warm hospitality.

Convenient location, close to the beach, Dubai Marina, tram stop, and a 24-hour convenience store. Plenty of sunbeds by the pool. The staff by the pool and in the restaurant are responsive. The food selection is varied. Water in the room is replenished daily. Room cleaning is standard.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff were extremely welcoming and attentive, especially Hamad and the manager, Haitham, who kindly upgraded our room and made our stay even more special. From the first impression to the very last moment, everything was perfect. I visited with my children, and they enjoyed every minute of it. The hotel offers fantastic family-friendly activities, including mini golf, horse riding, and a great selection of water activities. The beach was absolutely beautiful and well maintained. The breakfast was also excellent, with a wide variety of delicious options to suit everyone. Overall, it was a memorable experience, and we would definitely love to come back again. Highly recommended for families looking for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway.

Staying for 16 days with the family. First week was great bar the meals at dinner. Beach at Hilton was great, the rooms great, location good. We went half board so we had to eat in a pub type restaurant called speakeasy where people were smoking drinking and playing pool. We attended twice and then stopped. Muslim family and not happy to dine where people watching the football smoking an drinking whilst trying to eat. First time eating the food was bland and we ordered a chicken burger, it was raw so they made another burger but obviously not enjoyable. Second time the staff put our whole order on someone elses table then after a few minutes took it off their table an put it on ours. (God knows if it was touched or coughed on) We decided we were not going there again. Spoke to reception who said we can order room service to our room rather than eat at speakeasy. This was great for a few days but the menu never changed and got boring and eating where we slept was becoming un enjoyable. We then told housekeeping there was an odd smell in the bathroom so he cleaned the bathroom. Smell was still there all whilst having to eat our food in the room. We then complained and they came to fix the smell as it was getting worse. He came and sprayed something in the floor vent. At 2am a few days later we heard a bang and water grushing, it came from a boiler room so we called reception and they sent someone out, he turned the water off but hadnt said so, so in the morning both rooms had no water so we could not take showers and we missed breakfast as they came to fix the issue whilst we waited (no offer of room change either). Tried to go to the hilton beach as had for past 9 days and they said its now chargable, nobody informed us of this change and they said they only just found out but then this should have been stated on arrival that its not normality and can change any day instead just go and take a towel and go to the public beach on the sand as theres no beds! Pool bar not open so you have to order from the lifeguard who calls room service and waiting to get a drink of water in the heat, which is not sign posted so you would not know. You just think the pool bar is closed as its shutter down. So thankful for Shaban an his team who truly looked after us with food and we attended his restaurant on the 2 days it was allowed to open, apart from that the food was not good. Highly recommend Shaban so professional caring sympathetic and respectful to our needs. He needs a promotion and pay rise as he goes above and beyond for the care of visitors! On day of leaving we went to get a quick lunch at jones grocery and the lady said i have to check if you missed any meals to see if your eligible to eat! We said we have missed a few so its fine, had us waiting a while which became ridiculous and embarrassing so we just left. Met with guest relations and didnt get any sympathy or an apology for the inconveniences caused which led me to make this complaint. I totally understand the situation in Dubai with closures and staffing as i am a frequent visitor but i do not feel we were completely not respected not taken care of correctly and my children did not have a good time at the hotel. Unfortunately i feel as though i would not stay here again.

Overall it was a pleasant stay but please take note of a few observations: 1- Although I booked halfboard, I was informed upon checking in there is a consumption cap of 115 dhs per meal and I will be charged separately for water & beverages! 2- Room service is slow and I had to call twice for the same request at times. 3- The air conditioning of the lobby and the premier lounge is insufficient during daytime. 4- The beach closes at 18:00 while the sunset is past 19:00 On a positive note, I would like to thank Nancy at Priority check-in for being super hospitable & accommodating.

The view from the window is limited because of looks if the building. Foods are expensive in the hotel. It's hard to find a free sunbed with umbrella near the pool though there are plenty of them by the beach. Everything else was perfect

We booked for one night while passing through. The room was a huge two-room suite. One room had a living area with a mini-kitchen equipped with a fridge, stove, and microwave. There was also a sofa, two armchairs, and a TV area. Everything felt very spacious. There was one toilet with a commode and a sink, and a second bathroom with a bathtub and a commode. The bedroom was also spacious, and the bed was incredibly comfortable with such soft linens that I didn't want to get out of bed. The bathroom had shower gel, shampoo, soap, cotton swabs, and cotton pads, but no disposable toothbrushes or toothpaste. There were also no slippers or bathrobes. In the kitchen, there were two bottles of water, about eight coffee sachets, and just one tea bag… a very odd quantity. There was also disposable sugar. The room had a tobacco smell, as if someone had smoked in it, even though we were asked upon check-in if we preferred a smoking or non-smoking room, and we chose non-smoking. The location is great, just a 5-minute walk from the metro, which was very convenient for getting to the airport as we did. Nearby, there's also the Marina Mall, where you can easily exchange money and grab a bite on the top floor. Plus, there's a supermarket on the first floor. Overall, the Dubai Marina promenade is a nice place for a walk. The room offered a wonderful view. In short, we liked the hotel, but it's not a 5-star experience. It has its drawbacks. For 7500 rubles a night, we expected better conditions. Also, be aware that they charge a 20-dirham tourist tax upon check-in.
