We have just returned home to England after our 8 nights at the Hotel Mina A Salam at Madinat Jumeirah in Dubai, and we would just like to take this opportunity to thankyou so very much for your part in making our stay as so memorable. The view from our 5th Floor Ocean Balcony Room over the waterways, of the... more

Had a hitch on arrival in the early hours because we'd failed to request a no-smoking room, but the hotel dealt with it well and moved us the next day. If you want no-smoking remember to request it. The Arabian Deluxe room was on the side of the building, with a pleasant view of the Burj and the Gulf. However... more

We stayed here in late August 2006. The thing to bear in mind with Dubai is the heat, it is hot, hot, hot! It regularly gets up over 40 degrees celcius so be warned! Right from the off, the Mina A' Salam won us over. Our bags were taken from us when we got out of our taxi from the... more

We stayed at Mina A Salam from 26 until 31 of December! It was a lovely resort some of the best ones I have stayed! The room although needs renovations was big for European standards, bathroom too (very convenient)! Check in was ok although I would expect something more private and cosi, a glass of champagne for welcome drink maybe... more

I love this hotel, this is the 2nd time I have been there (had to save up a lot). It is pricey for a holiday, but well worth it. We had a room overlooking the main part of the hotel and waterways, with a big balcony that was great for sitting out on and watching the world go by. There... more

We've just returned from a week at the Mina A Salam. I've done a fair amount of travelling but I've never stayed at a place quite like this. We could not find one negative thing about it, no matter how hard we looked. The room was spacious (we had an ocean deluxe room), spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated. And as... more

We often try different hotels when visiting a citry. For our Dubai trip, we chose the Traders (very nice City Hotel in Deira), the Atlantis the Palm (out of this world-experience) and the Min A'Salam. Look for my separate reviews about the Atlantis and the Traders. The reason to choose the Min A'Salam were the excellent reviews we found on... more

We went to the Mina A'Salam because we wanted to stay somewhere special. The hotel is huge and quite exciting to walk around in, however the staff was ridiculously unhelpful, badly trained and unprofessional. We arrived very early and asked for an early check-in prior. However there was nothing they did for us, so we had to hang around in... more

Having stayed at other hotels within the Jumeirah group, including the Burj, we were expecting high standards. Trip Advisor had the hotel rated number #1 at the time we booked. I agree with other reviews that there was a degree of paranoia amongst the staff, particularly at the beach, and the requirement to constantly sign in to access the beach... more
