Dubai Hotels

Hi everyone, we are crusing from Singapore to Dubai next April with Azamara. We're staying 3 nights pre-cruise in the Marina Mandarin in Singapore, and have two nights in Dubai before heading home.

The accomodation generally looks expensive. Can anyone suggest decent hotels on the beach?

Thanks

We stayed at the hilton dubai jumeirah last year .it has a nice pool and direct access to the beach.there is a hop on hop off bus stop next door.

we found the price very good for dubai.if your going to dubai make sure you make a reservation at the burj al arab hotel for atfternoon tea in the

skyview bar.

The Grand Hyatt is NOT on the beach. The Hyatt Regency is on Dubai Creek.

There are also a LOT of "serviced apartments" around Dubai Marina. As posted in the other thread, my friend swears by the Dusit Residence.

The beaches in Dubai are not much to speak of and the water is generally nasty. IF you are looking for a true "beach" experience, then you need to go to one of the expensive hotels in Jumeriah. Asiarooms.com often has very decent prices on Jumeriah beach hotels.

I agree with the comments about the beaches.

The hotel beaches look often very nice, with lovely sand and such, but you go 5 m into the water and you stand in slush. Murky water, too warm and probably not too clean.

You are likely to go in the sea once and then use the pool...

Speaking of, the Grand Hyatt had several great pools, as have many of the hotels up around the Burj Al Arab.
