Mercure Dubai Barsha Heights Hotel Suites And Apartments
4.2/5475 Reviews
Tecom
What did we like: We like the spacious rooms The location is next to the train station The luggage and house keeping staff are friendly and helpful Beautiful view from from the apartment The bar was fun to hang out and have a beer What did we not like: We did not get what we booked and paid for at this accommodation. They combined our rooms and called it an upgrade. Rooms were not ready at check in time and we were told to pay more if they gave us the room at 1:30 to leave our bags. The lady at the front had a breakdown and was rude when we asked for the rooms we booked and not their upgrade. Lastly check in and check out takes a min of 20 minutes so be prepared to wait. Experience dated : 06 Feb 2024 All in all, this accommodation is satisfactory.
Le Meridien Mina Seyahi Beach Resort & Waterpark
4.2/567 Reviews
Dubai Marina
We had a fantastic visit to Le Meridian Mina Seyahi. March is the perfect time to visit. Could not fault the location, staff or facilities. Upon early arrival, our room was not ready as expected, but thought we would use the time to explore the facilities available, to my surprise we could use the waterpark and kids club straight away which was an added bonus. As a Bonvoy member I was contacted via the app to say my room was ready earlier than expected. The room was large with a fantastic views, if I had to recommend anything it would be a separate shower, the bath over the shower felt a little dated. We had club lounge access and availed of the afternoon tea and light bites in the evening and happy hour. It was a great place to wind down in the evening with two kids and staff were very accommodating offering to get them french fries when we had our light bites. Swimming pools, beach, waterpark were all excellent, beach even had toys for the kids. Damachino at the pool, was a gem, always reminding my kids of items they left behind and even went out of his way hours later to return a pair of googles! He provided complimentary water while arranging the beds and towels for us. A nice touch for the kids was the short buggy ride (but very much walkable) to the Westin, we could also use the pool and beach area there as well as the additional dining options. Just outside the hotel entrance there is a bridge over to the tram which allows you to travel around to the Marina/JBR. Also beside the tram station there are a few shops, a supermarket and pharmacy which we found useful. Overall I would have no hesitation to return here either as a couple or with the family. All staff fused over the kids and nothing was ever an issue, thanks for making our vacations a great one!

Jumeirah Beach
Just returned from another trip to DAM and once again it did not disappoint. I booked directly with the Jumeirah website this time, so thankfully no drama at checkout time this year. My previous reviews capture all that is good about this property. personally I don't go to DAM for the waterpark, however feedback from the kids was that it is looking very tired, that aside nothing much else to quibble. The front line staff at DAM are fantastic and that was the same again this year. from the staff taking care of the rooms, at the beach/poolside and all the restaurant staff. Special note to Mylene, Ashu and Neha at the Arboretum; we saw them every morning for breakfast for 2 weeks and some evenings when we went to the Arboretum for dinner. Neha; whether morning or evening, constantly smiling and never seemed to stop. Fantastic energy and enthusiasm for an extremely challenging job. Ashu who noticing that my wife was suffering from a cold offered and made her a hot drink with Ginger and Lemon at breakfast - it was unsolicited, he did not have to make the effort - however he did and these are the memories that make a stay special. I just hope DAM management recognise that it is the Neha', Mylene' and Ashu's that make their hotel special and they are rewarded for their amazing work.

More about Dubai

Introduction to Dubai: A Confluence of Traditions and Futurism

Located on the Eastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula, in the south west corner of the Arabian Gulf, Dubai is one of the seven emirates that make up the United Arab Emirates. Known for its opulent architecture, luxury shopping and vibrant nightlife, Dubai offers an irresistible blend of traditional Arabic culture and futuristic innovation. This city is home to the tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa, and it boasts an artificial island in the shape of a palm tree, the Palm Jumeirah!

Tips for Travelling to Dubai

Dubai International Airport, one of the busiest airports in the world, serves as the primary gateway to the city. The Dubai Metro, taxis, and ride-hailing services like Uber are commonly used to navigate the city.

Visa policies vary depending on nationality, so travellers are advised to check the UAE embassy website in their respective countries. Credit cards are widely accepted and the official language is Arabic, but English is commonly used, especially in business and by the large expatriate population.

As for traditions, remember that the UAE is a Muslim country and visitors should dress modestly in public. Also, the consumption of alcohol is regulated and is typically only allowed within licensed venues.

Unforgettable Attractions in Dubai

Dubai's iconic skyline is dominated by architectural marvels like the Burj Khalifa, Burj Al Arab and the Palm Jumeirah.

As for clothing, light, breathable fabrics are recommended due to the heat. However, it's also wise to carry a light jacket or shawl, as indoor areas can be heavily air-conditioned.

Selecting the Right Hotel in Dubai
