Insight Guides "Shaped like a breaking wave to complement nearby Burj al Arab’s ‘sail’, the 26-storey landmark is one of the best beachside hotels in Dubai for both families and couples."
Travel + Leisure "Situated along Dubai Beach, the Jumeirah Beach Hotel rises 26 stories and is designed to resemble a cresting wave." Full review
DK Eyewitness "While the interiors of this wave-shaped hotel are rather gaudy when compared with Dubai’s chic new hotels, families love the bright, bold colours, excellent beach facilities and myriad kids’ activities."
Rough Guide "The facilities are among the best in the city, including over twenty restaurants, several top nightspots... seven pools, six tennis courts, a golf driving range and the Pavilion PADI diving centre."
Time Out "One of the most well-known hotels in Dubai, designed to look like a cresting wave, this regal hotel sits at the top of Jumeriah Beach Road and offers unparalleled views of the Burj Al Arab." Full review
Star Service "This hotel instantly became a Dubai landmark after it opened in 1997, thanks to its iconic location and striking architecture that imitates a breaking wave." Full review
Gayot "This is the first hotel to be built that encompasses the Jumeirah Beach Resort Complex and is also one of the most distinct by resembling a breaking wave."
