What lovely staff!!

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 6 Feb 2013
When we first arrived at hotel we were a little sceptical It looked a little jaded and was in quite a busy area. Couldn't have been more wrong. We'd always gone for quiet parts of Dubai before but this hotel has everything. Good restaurants, good facilities and you could not find a friendlier and more helpful staff. Its situated right on the Marina and has its own little private beach. So if you want to have a wander there's plenty of excellent restaurants and some lovely shops but if you want it quiet they have a good pool area and as I mentioned before their own private beach. Rooms were clean, we had a club room which I thought was good but my husband who's used to staying at Sheraton's thought it a bit small, he felt no point in upgrading as all the rooms appear to be same. My only gripe was the bar area, only because they allowed people to smoke and if your not used to it its not that great. But would definately recommend a visit.

Us - I am 30 and live in London, came to Dubai with my mum for 6 days.

Hotel - Great location. It's on "the walk" which means you can get out and about for a stroll rather than having to get taxis everywhere. We booked club rooms which are great and the club lounge means you can have canapes and free drinks from 6-8pm each day. We really enjoyed being able to come for pre dinner drinks. You also get free internet and printing which is why I am writing this review on our last night here and printing our boarding passes. The service here is impeccable & Avril who manages the club lounge is superb, really really superb.The only downside to the hotel is that it's a little old - along the hotel there are many high rise uber modern hotels who have adopted Dubai's famous over the top luxury. The Sheraton by comparison is only 9 floors and a little tired in places. Hoepfully they will refurbish soon. My honest advice - if you can afford it then head for Al Qasr (out of this world luxury) but if you come to the Sheraton you will have a wonderful time.

Room tip: Spend the money on the club lounge and enjoy a peaceful private breakfast and daily free canapes and drinks.

Very nice hotel located right on the beach, my only complaint, considering this is a 5 star hotel there is no wi-fi available. Despite asking for a sea view room, we were given a room overlooking a major building project, however, a complaint to reception staff and we were moved to a lovely room overlooking the beach.

Room tip: Ask for a room overlooking the beach, rooms facing the front of the hotel overlook a major building project.

Upon arrival at The Sheraton Hotel we were upgraded to a club sea view room with full use of the club facilitates - Breakfast on the 9th floor for club rooms only, full use of the club lounge throughout the day for complimentary tea and cakes and also complimentary cocktails in the evening which was great!

The rooms were lovely and spacious and had daily food treats left in our room which was a lovely touch!

The Pool & Beach area were again lovely and there was enough space in the grounds to have some quiet time without feeling like your sunbathing on top of other people! The beach/pool staff helped to find you a sun bed in the area of your choice which again is a lovely touch!

Food: We opted for half board, both breakfast and dinner i could not fault, having had HB at other hotels I was a little weary, however there was no need to be. Breakfast - an amazing selection of help yourself to full english, cereal, fruits, yogurts, pastries, cheese, ham, pancakes, french toast just to name a few! Also a full selection of tea's and coffee's! Dinner - Again this was a buffet style and I can 100% vouch every meal I had from the buffet did not disappoint (which is very rare!) Every day was a different style, but this included a full salad bar, around 10+ different hot dishes to choose from and the same for the deserts which were all amazing!

There was a lovely beach bar that stays open till 3am (this is a distance from the hotel and cannot be heard in the rooms) this was lovely to have a drink after dinner while listening to the ocean!

Staff - The staff at this hotel made our holiday, they could not do enough to help you. It was my partner's 30th Birthday during our trip and they went all out. We arrived for breakfast in the club lounge and they instantly came out with a birthday cake and made a real effort to make his day as special as possible including a bottle of wine in the room and another cake! I cannot praise all the staff at this hotel enough!

I literally couldn't fault this hotel at all which is very rare these days. I will defiantly be going back in the near future!

Thank-you for a really lovely holiday!

The hotel is very fine, no complaints which is usually travellers obligation :)

For family with a 12 year old daughter it was nice that the restaurant had a tema each evening so you could stay at the hotel for dinning if you wanted.

The pool was perfect in january being heated up, and it was lovely to go down for an evening swim as the pool only closed at 21.00hours.
