It’s a nice hotel but now is very crowded with building all around it - it had its hey day 10 years ago.

Rooms are lovely but for me it would be too noisy and beach too busy . There are better alternatives in me view

Depends on your budget

It will be nice end of March.

There are choices of business types (Hilton, Le Meridian etc), bling types (The burj etc) and adult type (The Residence ) plus loads of family types which sound like won’t suit .

If you avoid the creek and city then most or on the beach or very close and or the Palm - all depends on budget as they vary a great deal - half board isn’t an issue at most either and can get some great deals

There are 2, which are you looking at? Make sure it’s the beach resort rather than the financial district one

Thank you - I may look into changing it but it was the club access that sold it to me

I am sure it will be fine and sorry if I put a dampener on your plans . It was once a small parathion also property on the near empty beach with just the royal mirage as neighbours but now dwarfed by high rises etc . Depends on what you want really for your holiday - in August all construction work stops for a few hours during the hottest part of the day so that’s a break from the noise (they are making another man made island just off the beach ) - most of the hotels have some sort of club access and August being the low season will have plenty of offers and availability around .

Whatever you choose I love Dubai and even in August it’s great

Burj KhalifaTickets

Hi

I'm looking at booking tickets for the Burj and could do with your help!

We will be a family of 4 (2 adults & 2 children) and are looking at general admission tickets (At The Top Tickets) which ar approximately £31 each but see they do a fast-track ticket option too for approximately £66 but you still have to select a time slot for these tickets too.

Is it worth paying for fast-track? My husband does have a medical condition so isn't great queuing for long periods. Thinking of going mid-afternoon around 3.30pm.

There are so many options the next level up (At The Top Sky) goes to level 148 and you get refreshments at the lounge but this is approximately £100 each.

What has everyone done and what would you recommend? Thanks

Hi, we stayed at the Ritz Carlton Jumeriah Beach in a March 2018 for my 50th birthday and absolutely loved it! We’ve stayed in some lovely hotels around the world and both of us would definitely return. We had a stunning room and the food and service was first class. We didn’t have any issues with noise and we loved the location as after dinner we could walk around the marina or along The Walk. The adults only pool area was lovely too. We didn’t stay club level but I had a look at the lounge and it looked very nice. The hotel spa is stunning. It was our first trip to Dubai so I can’t compare it with other hotels there but we’ve stayed at 5 star hotels in Mauritius, Mexico, New York, Las Vegas etc and we absolutely loved the RC.
