We stayed here as part of our trip to Dubai to see the Collingwood take on Adelaide in the UAE and loved this hotel.

The location on the beach was great, and the buffet breakfast and lunch were excellent. We found the rooms to be a bit dated, but loved the balcony and sea view from them.

Staff at check in, check out where helpful, as they were with other queries during our stay.

We would stay here again, or maye sample the new Westin going up next door.

I stayed here for 2 nights after spending 2 nights in the city centre in the Four Points Downtown Dubai. I found Le Meridien Mina Seyahi to be the perfect beach hotel, although in some areas the hotel does need modernising -which I believe is happening once The Westin (new hotel next door) is open. The beach is one of the best in Dubai and our room (Royal Club floor) looked out onto the Palm Jumeriah and the new Atlantis Resort. The Royal Club floor provides complimentary breakfast, afternoon tea and cocktails.

The hotel has some of Dubai's most popular bars and restaurants and having eaten in Bussola, Baristi, Ciro Pomodoro and the Horizon beach bar I would recommend them all.

To finalise I would say this is a fantastic hotel on a stunning section of coast. Well worth a visit.

We have just returned from a week in Dubai staying at the Mina Seyahi. We booked this particular hotel as a friend living in Dubai had recommended it as being one of the best on the beach with 'not too extortionate food and drink prices'. He was right.

My husband and I took our little girl (2 in March). We had booked through Cosmos and the only room available was a landview. Although on arrival at 10am they had given us a large family room and the room was ready - we asked for an upgrade (the view out of the landview was interesting but with lots of cranes and building work not exactly picturesque). The seaview room was ready within the hour and we had gorgeous views towards The Palm and the marina. It only cost us £120 extra for the week and we felt it was well worth it.

The beach was great - as soon as you stepped foot on the sand the staff would find you sunbeds, direct them towards the sun and lay out your towels! The waiter service for food and drink on the beach was also very good. Although watersports were included (hobies and lasers and windsurfs) we didn't get the chance to use them as we were either chilling, playing with our little girl in the park (fantastic for the kids with lots of slides, bouncy castle, toy cars, swings - everything they could wish for) or swimming with her in the kids or adults pool.

The pools were great - the infinity pool had a swim up bar and was right next to the kids pool which was shaded. The weather the first couple of days was okay (only 20 degrees if that) but it started to get better towards the middle of the week and by the time we were leaving had crept up to 25, which is pretty much normal for this time of year and is ideal for younger kids. The weather in the last month has been hit and miss out there with sandstorms and lots of rain and about 5 degrees cooler than normal.

There is enough space to walk around with a pushchair (ideally when you're trying to get the little one off to sleep) and although there are plenty of steps, there is always someone around to help you.

The staff were all fantastic - so good with our little girl and were so helpful and polite.

Most of the restaurants were fine with kids, although later on in the evening you didn't see many around. Ours was asleep in the puschair for a couple of evening and they were fine. Bussola is lovely downstairs (didn't go upstairs as it was open air and the evenings were still a bit chilly). Barasti is great for early tea for kids or later on for adults, or just as a bar. It gets packed on Thurs, Fri and Sat early eve so I'd book a table.

We ventured to Madanat (a quick ride in the taxi) one evening and had a meal at The Meat Co. Great steaks there. Loads of restaurants to choose from but again I'd advise booking unless you want to wait half an hour or so. Its not particularly pushchair friendly though due to lots of steps, but its a nice setting.

All in all, we had a great time. My husband was dubious about going however had said that he'd definitely go back.

I've recommend this hotel 100%!

I have been in a lot of hotels and this is right up there. We always stay at the hotel or if we don't we come all day to the beach club for only £15 per person! The hotel is great. Good rooms. Great beach rooms. The only downside is if you don't get an ocean view you will be overlooking a building site like all the other hotels in the Jumeirah end of Dubai (Such as: Hilton, Sheration, Royal Meridian). There is hardly any noise though so don't be put off. This is a brilliant hotel that I would highly recommend for anyone!
The resturants at the hotel have lovely food,
There are 3 pools,
One really long beach,
and loads of sun!
