If you are reading this with a view to booking at this hotel, well i would say- DO IT

just remember a few things: in summer it gets VERY hot. it gets to the point where you would rather be inside than outside, a few steps leaves you drenched in sweat, you can't sit outside even at night and that is not really what you want from your holiday (even though the air conditioning is something of a marvel.) i would therfore highly reccomend visiting in the winter or spring. a good point is - no mosquitos!

also please be aware that this is a muslim country- if your idea of a good holiday is to topless sunbathe by day and drink your own body weight by night, this is not the holiday for you. if you leave your resort complex in shorts and a strappy top, do not be surprised if you get some funny looks and hostile behaviour. alcohol is very expensive and only available within the resort- beware of restaurants (like the beachcombers on site restaurant) that give 'free' bottles of wine but make up for it by charging you £20 per head for a meal that is only worth £10. (also a good trick is to visit a local supermarket like the nearby carrefour and buy your own nibbles- a plate of nachos here costs about £7, can of pepsi, £2.50)

those points aside, i cannot reccomend the hotel enough. the staff really cannot do enough for you and were much more pleasant and genuine than the staff at the much hyped burj-al-arab over the way. they will go above and beyond the call of duty to help you. the food within the restaurants is always delicious- you will never be disappointed. where else offers everything from stir fry noodles to made-to-order crepes- and this is just for breakfast!
the decor and cleanliness is pristine, the beds the most comfortable i've ever slept in and the pool clean and well maintained. it was worth every penny.

We stayed at the Jumeriah Beach for 4 nights. The hotel is lovely and the rooms are spacious and clean. However for what you are paying I would have expected a free pick up from the airport (after all they do have their coaches to do it). My main complaint is that all the hotel restaurants are so expensive. We ate their the first night after taking out another mortgage. And then took the buggy to the Medinat Jumeriah on the following 3 nights where the food is much more reasonable and is better quality.
The drinks at Jumeriah are also so much more expensive. Go to Trader Vic's at the Medinat and you can get an explosive cocktail for £7.50!

My husband and I stayed at the Jumeirah Beach Hotel in june 2007 for my 40th birthday, and my oh my what a beautiful hotel this is. We had a lovely suit on the 11th floor, big enough to throw a party!!! From the moment we arrived, my husband and I felt like royalties, nothing was too much for the staff and they made sure I had a fantastic birthday, bringing a cake and a bottle of bubbly to our room !! If you decide to go to Dubai, make sure you go on the safari desert trip as this is a truly magical day and evening, to the 4 wheel drive over the dunes, camel rides, lovely bbq, watching the sun set, to gazing up at the stars, very romatic I must say. We had a beautiful meal at the marina ( seafood) which the hotel booked for us, who must of also told them of my birthday, as another cake came out and everyone singing happy birthday, what a nice surprise and the icing on the cake...so to speak!! My husband went into the kitchen and picked the lobster of his choice, poor thing !! The meal was absolutley delicious, although a little on the expensive side, very much worth it. After our meal we went on up stairs to the open air bar, where we had a couple of drinks taking in the fantastic views of dubai. You can get the golf buggy to this restaurant which you will see lots of these during your stay. We did go to emirates mall, brought a few things but we found the prices were very much the same in the uk. We also went to the diamond park, where my husband brought me a lovely diamond for my birthday and this was alot cheaper than the uk!!!!
We will for sure, return to this magical hotel when they have finished building in 2010, although it is finished at the Jumeirah resort, the city has a long way to go as they are building Dubai land !!! Cant wait to return

we booked to travel to the jumeirah beach hotel on the 25jun07 -5nts for my sisters wedding.
this was quite possibly the best hotel we have ever been stayed in .
we had booked to stay in th prem leisure rooms but on arrival as our room wasnt ready for a few hours ,which we didnt mind at all and headed straight down to the pool ,we were then advised we had been upgraded to a junior club suite on the 15th floor this was completely unexpected as the staff had already made us feel extremely welcome .
the room was beautiful and had an extended balcony giving panoramic views over the hotel pool and beach and also dubai city life
the hotel grounds are lovely and very well kept ,we spent most of our time either on the beach ,which is clean and very spacious ,or in the family pool which had an adjacent kids club shaped like a boat with another pool this was great as it had a large canapy sheilding the children fom the sun,which was ideal as it was very hot and we had children with us ageing between 2-yrs old.
there is another pool which mainly catered for adults we went in this pool once but prefered the family one,we also had access being a prem exec customer to the exec pool although it looked lovely we didnt go in, so i cant really comment.
the restaurants on site are lovely we really enjoyed the beechcomber and le veranda but our favourite was the villa beach -fantastic food and service.
we also ate at the tex mex,this restaurant wasnt up to the same standard as the other eateries ,food not brilliant and staff not as polite.
there are buggies onsite to take you where ever you want these are also handy in the heat.
i could go on and on about this hotel as it is fantastic with staff to match,and hopefully we wil be back very soon
NEGATIVE: emirates airline,the only downfall of the holiday ,bad entertainment on board ,and it felt as though the staff were very much on autopilot and anything else above that was a hassle,wouldnt ideally fly with them again.
