Hotels near JBR Beach, Dubai

This hotel is clearly a favorite among Russian families, owing to its good location, all-inclusive meals, and low price for three guests in a room. All signs and announcements in the hotel are duplicated in Russian. During our stay, a large group of about 20 Russian teenagers was also there. These were classic teenagers who seem to think that being noisy, smoking covertly in the bushes, and swearing makes them mature. At breakfast, most guests are families with small children, which generally gives the impression of being in a summer camp rather than a Dubai hotel. If you enjoy this kind of atmosphere, or if you have children, then it's worth staying here, as your child won't be bored alone. The hotel has parking. The entrance to the hotel is from the underground parking, which makes the lobby feel a bit uninviting. Check-in was quick. We checked in at 6 PM and missed lunch. We were offered to stay for lunch after check-out the next day and complimentary luggage storage at the reception. The food is buffet style. On one hand, it seems like there's everything: beef, fish, side dishes, fruits, vegetables, soup, desserts. On the other hand, nothing is cooked well: the beef is fatty and tough, and the fish is overly soft. For example, in the photo, the salad has a lot of green and black olives and just a few cucumbers and leaves. The taste is unbalanced, just bitter. If you add vegetables, they are there but chopped into large pieces. In the fruit salad, the melon is so tasteless that you have to pick it out. At breakfast, there's no regular sliced cheese for making sandwiches, only feta with herbs. The croissants are so stale, as if they've been sitting there for three days, even though they are regularly refilled during breakfast. Not a single dish made me want to go back for seconds. In the end, I didn't regret missing lunch and decided not to stay for lunch the next day. The pool officially operates until 8 PM, but at 7:30 PM, we couldn't swim as it was already closed. The spa has a hammam and a sauna. The hammam is quite cold, and while the sauna shows 90 degrees, it feels much cooler. The jacuzzi has no bubbles, either the button doesn't work, or it's designed that way. It's more like a hot water pool. The definite pros are the large room, good zoning into a bedroom and living room, and a spacious bathroom with both a shower and a bathtub. Also, there's a beautiful view of the Marina from the window, but no balcony. I stayed for one night and am unlikely to choose this place again. For the same price, there are many better hotels nearby for couples without children.

We lived in a villa, we liked everything, convenient access to the pool. Especially for a child.

The stay was nice with comfy bed and good service at the restaurants. However, maybe the package details were a bit complicated, the reception forgot to give us Lounge access at first place, but were able to rectify the second day. Lounge servers were very nice and friendly too.

Dubai Marina Hotel offers excellent facilities, a delicious and varied breakfast, and exceptionally friendly staff, making it an ideal place to stay during business trips. The rooms are clean and comfortable, the location is convenient for both meetings and leisure, and the overall atmosphere ensures a pleasant and stress-free experience throughout the stay. It is definitely a hotel I would love to stay at again on my next visit.

This stay was well worth the money. Bed was comfy, room looked modern and the amenities were great. A plus is that one of the shuttles to Yas Island in Abu Dhabi left from here and returned here, it was so convenient.

Had a wonderful stay at Sofitel Dubai The Palm – truly a tropical paradise in the heart of Dubai. The room was luxurious with stunning sea views and a peaceful vibe. Loved the private beach, pools, and beautiful resort layout. The staff were friendly and the service was top-notch. Highly recommended for a relaxing and memorable getaway! Absolutely in love with this hotel

A bit hectic but amazing location, amazing team , great beach and my son did enjoy kids playroom a lot . We didn’t take breakfast or dinner but hotel have so many great restaurants and cafes around by 100 m availability , so there was no need for that . Just a bit hard to find sunbed because beach area super crowded but overall good value

The noise from the hallway easily passes into the room. And vice versa. There is no soundproof door. The deluxe room is clean. The breakfast is good, but nothing more. The tea is not tasty and is not always offered quickly. The coffee on the 9th floor is tasty, but at breakfast in the restaurant - not. The location depends only on the tasks. The sea is nearby, in the morning you have time to swim, have breakfast and go about your business.

Really enjoyed my stay here. The hotel itself is nice, but the staff are what made it fantastic—they were so helpful the whole time. The amenities are standard but everything was clean and in good order. The location worked well for me: you're sort of between the Marina and downtown. Each is about a 20-minute taxi ride away, which I preferred over figuring out the metro. A real highlight is the restaurant's terrace off the lobby—a perfect spot for morning coffee or an evening drink.

3 bedroom apartment, very spacious and clean. All toiletries were provided however could have done with providing washing up liquid, dishcloths and a brush to sweep the floor. The location was fantastic and staff were helpful with our luggage on arrival.
