Sheraton Jumeirah Beach Resort

Great location on the beach. With sin beds and umbrellas for guests. A great lawn and pool with sun lounges. Fantastic breakfast. One of the best you’d get. The room and fittings big and beautiful. Kind of Sheraton statesman’s style. We had a room with balcony with great beach/ocean views. If you’re coming to Dubai for a few nights stopover. Stay at this beach. It’s a happening place. The water and sand is beautiful. Not much else imo to do in Dubai.

It is a relatively small hotel in Dubai scale, and a bit far from the hussle. I stayed here many times and this is what I like about this place - less people. There is a renovation in the lobby at the moment so there is no lobby at all, and it affects the breakfast, that is moved to the 9th floor to a smaller room, but apart from the breakfast situation the hotel is still very good. Renovated rooms, large garden with pool and a huge sandy beach. The beach promenade starts here with great restaurants, shops, entertainment options. If you’d take public transport to downtown, the tram station is close, and the tram connects you to Dubai metro.

Great location, staff is very friendly and always looks out for your needs and specific requests. We travelled with a 10 month old baby and it is a perfectly suitable place to go with a toddler. There is a small swimming pool where they can walk and learn how to swim. The food is amazing, expecially dinner.

Excellent service, early check-in was requested and facilitated by the hotel which was great. Breakfast was amazing, the chefs accommodated requests for items not at the buffet and there was a great variety. Quick response time to the room and access to the beach was very convenient. Loved it!

Obviously one of the original resort hotels in Jumeriah beach, the Sheraton is now dwarfed by residential tower blocks and the 'Address' hotel next door, but retains it's charm ('charm' is relative in Dubai!). The staff from reception to restaurant were all pleasant, helpful and cheerful. The hotel is right on the broad and pleasant beach and within easy walking distance of the new 'Bluewater' development with a wide choice of restaurants. We only ate in one of the hotel restaurants for one meal and had chosen not to have breakfast included in our booking. We went to Bluewater for breakfast the first morning and used the hotel cafe for a coffee-and-croissant breakfast on our second day rather than a full buffet meal. Upon our return to Dubai from a week-long road trip to Oman we stayed at the Sofitel on the Palm, but if I was to return to Dubai I think I'd be happier to stay at the Sheraton JBR which is not quite as 'blingy'. The newer hotels are probably more 'in favour' but the Sheraton should not be overlooked and certainly the welcome was warm - as was the weather. Just a word about the finances - they took a holding deposit (equivalent to £555) upon arrival which is still showing on my Monzo account. I called back to the hotel upon our return from Oman and they assured me it would disappear as I had fully settled my bill upon departure, but as of the date of writing this report (nearly a month later) it's still showing. I will have to chase them again by email; the manager gave me his card and was insistent that if it was not automatically resolved by the bank he would intervene,
