“our amazing honeymoon!”

Al Qasr at Madinat Jumeirah

5 of 5 stars

4/4 found this review helpful

we spent the last 4 days of our honeymoon at al qasr in dubai after an absolutely brilliant time spent in the maldives. we arrived in dubai to be taken by chauffeur to al qasr which was so handy and a great experience. on arrival at al qasr we were breathtaken by the sheer expanse of the hotel and the opulence of it all. the hotel is so grand, and the decor very much in keeping with the arabian theme. we were upgraded to a summer house @ dar al masjaf which was absolutely fantastic as we were supposed to be staying in the main hotel. our villa was wonderful, with our own butler service, the abra boats picking us up right outside our villa and the buggys coming right to our front door. the pool which we were sharing with 2 other villas was mostly empty so we had it to ourselves. the lifeguards on duty here all day long must get very bored! we were impressed with every aspect of this hotel, the souk was wonderufl with 42 restaurants to choose from, we were not disappointed and found the food to be affordable. the breakfasts were very impressive, with sooo much choice.

you can see the burj al arab from al qasr, tho be warned you cant get inside without wearing smart clothing, flowery shorts arent allowed as we discovered to our dismay!

we went to the mall of the emirates, a bus picks u up from the hotel. and we did the sundowner desert safari which was a gr8 experience, they take you to an arabic camp in the middle of the desert and give a gr8 buffet, free henna tatoos and a bellydancer. it was a lovely night out. the jeep lets down the tyres and flies through the sand dunes, its great fun.

we loved this hotel, we however found dubai creek and downtown dubai to be a little daunting and found ourselves lost and not able to find our way. the gold souks they talk about were most disappointing to us and appeared more like a jumble sale than anything else.

al qasr is a most distinguished, opulent and relaxing hotel, the like of which we will probably never stay in again, we would highly recommend the summer vialls as they are so private and the bathrooms are massive, the beds are so comfy and theres 5 different types of pillow to choose from. the rooms are very clean. we would definitely recommend al qasr.

“Unbelievable, comfortable, luxury”

Al Qasr at Madinat Jumeirah

5 of 5 stars
Scotland, UK
May 5, 2008
3/3 found this review helpful

From arriving at DXB tired after 7 hour flight from UK we were met at airport and whisked in luxury to Al Qasr, most hotels pay lip service to detail and service but the Al Qasr was for us the best.
We were taken to Executive Lounge to check in after cool face towel and tea/coffee, and then quickly escorted to our Arabian Courtyard room...................VERY comortable and we were asleep 10 mins later. Woke up next day had complimentary breakfast ....what a choice! Explored fantastic grounds and settled on beach , staff very attentive, fresh towels, free ice lollies and chilled fruit, and more all done with grace and humility.
Resort is large and maintenance is excellent, struggled by on beach till 3pm when it was time to return to Lounge for complimentary High Tea......even more bliss.
Made it back to sanctuary of beach..............well at least till 6pm when it was time for complimentary canapes and drinks...........a hard shift this!
Staff excellent, hotel excellent, everythinh excellent apart from Mall of the Emirates just up the road.....................any quality 400 shop Mall does tend to attract your partners eye and so take away from your luxurious time at the Al Qasr!!!!!
Can't wait to return.

“Expensive Dubai”

Al Qasr at Madinat Jumeirah

Apr 28, 2008
8/8 found this review helpful

We holiday in Dubai twice a year normally in April & October and have done so for the last five years. We have stayed at either the One & Only Royal Mirage or as per this review the Al Qsar on Jumeria Beach.
Although the hotel and staff are just what any 5* hotel should be the buzz around the hotel was the massive price increase on all food and drink. If it was your first time you would just think it was expensive but if you were able to compare it to a previous visit as most of the people are able to do, the price rises were past being funny. 2 kids milkshakes around the pool were £12.00 and a meal at Pai Thai for two adults and one child with two glasses of wine came to £225.00. The hotel seems to be cashing in on the customer before the alternative hotels offer any competition. Although the hotel is still a great location, save up your spending money or you may get a nasty shock!!!!

“Fantastic Resort & Hotel!!”

Al Qasr at Madinat Jumeirah

5 of 5 stars
Scarborough, United Kingdom
Apr 9, 2008
6/6 found this review helpful

We stayed at this hotel for the second week of our honeymoon. It is truly opulent, but we are only very ordinary working class people and you were made to feel just as special as the very rich who were staying at the hotel. The greeting on arrival was excellent, you were sat in a comfy waiting area and served with hot towels and nibbles!!! We stayed in the hotel itself and the room was amazing with a view over the ocean and towards Palm Island! Although, the hotel is very big, it is very quiet and we hardly saw any of the other guests on our floor the whole week we were there!!

Everything was very relaxed, you weren't hassled at any point. But there were plenty of staff around should you need someone. We stayed on B&B basis and the breakfast was very impressive - you could have anything you liked and I mean anything!! Cereals, cooked breakfast, porridge, sushi etc....!

The hotel is linked to 3 others with a shopping mall in the middle which is full of shops, restaurants and bars which is where we ate every evening, again lots of choice!!

We also took a trip to down town Dubai and went to Gordon Ramsay's restaurant which was out of this world..... and it won't break the bank to eat there!! I would definintely recommend anyone to go there if your holidaying in the area.

There are plenty of activites to keep you occupied within the hotel or just relax on the beach. There are waiters on the beach at all times to offer cold towels to mop your brow!!! Or get you more drinks, ice lollies......or anything you could wish for!

It was an amazing place and we are going back again this year for our first wedding anniversary!!!

“Simply Wonderful !!”

Al Qasr at Madinat Jumeirah

5 of 5 stars
Leixlip, Ireland
Apr 7, 2008
3/3 found this review helpful

My wife and I stayed in the Al Qasr for our wedding anniversary for 9 nights and it was wonderful and we’re already planning our next visit. The hotel and staff can’t do enough for you from the moment you arrive until you leave. We were welcomed by name inside the airport by a member of hotel staff and fast tracked through immigration etc and then led to an awaiting luxury car to take us to the hotel.

As we opted for an executive club room (definitely worth the extra cost) and we were escorted to the executive lounge for check in, we arrived at approx 10am so our room wasn’t ready however were able to have breakfast in the executive club lounge and could shower in the premier leisure lounge too. We were giving a temp pass so we could make use of all the hotel facilities until our room was ready at approx 2pm.

There are 40+ restaurants and bars in the hotel complex so choice is almost unlimited and have to say of those we tried all were excellent, our favourite was Pierchic which is located at the end of a wooden pier the food and service there is amazing and as a plus has wonderful views of the Burj Al Arab and all the Madinat Jumeirah resort.
Word of warning if you opt to eat at Jambazz (food is very good) but do eat early because at approx 10pm it does get very busy with clubbers there to listen and dance to the live band so you could find yourself trying to eat your meal with them dancing all around your table not ideal if looking for a romantic meal, but great if there to party.

As mentioned we opted for the executive club room option which among a bunch of other things gives you pre diner canopies and cocktails between 6-8pm in the lounge or on terrace which is a great way to start your evening and the staff there are wonderful (special mention for Mark one of the waiters there he was great), only negative was the stuffy German duty manager she tending to avoid us not that it bothered us but even a how are you enjoying your stay would have been nice.

While a guest at the Al Qasr your entitled to visit the Burj Al Arab at certain times of the day and night and we did visit and have cocktails in the Skybar there but to be honest the Burj is more impressive from the outside so save your money and stay at the Al Qasr.

The pool is very large and can get busy but never found it overcrowded and unfortunately there does tend to be a problem with folks claiming the best sun loungers but one of the many staff around the pool area will always find you one.

Dubai itself is a wonderful place and I could go on and on about how good this hotel is but won’t.....just go and see it for yourselves
