DK Eyewitness
"This massive property may have marvellous views over Creekside Park across to the Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club, but it’s easy to let the myriad attractions within the hotel distract you."

Fodor's
"An ancient hotel by Dubai standards, this resort was located in what was once considered Jumeirah Beach but is now part of the elaborate Dubai Marina."
Lonely Planet
"Right on the popular The Walk at JBR, the Hilton remains a solid choice for a family vacation." Full review
Rough Guide
"This glitzy Hilton boasts lots of shiny metal and an air of cosmopolitan chic – it’s more of a city-slicker’s beach bolthole than family seaside resort."
Time Out
"Step out of the hotel and you’ll be on the popular Jumeirah Beach Residence Walk and have access to hundreds of cafés and shops." Full review
Star Service
"Within walking distance of the neighboring Ritz-Carlton and Sheraton, this medium-sized hotel has little pizzazz, but it possesses all the necessary creature comforts to make it a popular base." Full review
