Concierge "The richly brocaded suites and private villas have huge marble tubs in the bathrooms."
Condé Nast Traveler "The opulent decor—think Delacroix meets Vanity Fair photo shoot—is especially evident in the men’s Turkish bath, where paintings of sheet-draped harem girls adorn the walls." Full review
Time Out "Opulence pours from every wall and it feels grand, but slightly overwhelming, too – you wouldn’t want to walk into this place in scruffy shorts and flip flops." Full review
Travel + Leisure "With its ten restaurants, lavish on-site Turkish hammam, and stretch of private beach, guests can live like a sultan during their stay here." Full review
Oyster Kid-Friendly
"In many ways the 405-room Jumeirah Zabeel Saray is the epitome of the lavish hotels for which Dubai is famed." Full review
Lonely Planet "With its domed ceiling, golden pillars and jewel-like lamps, Zabeel Saray’s lobby is as lavish and majestic as an Ottoman palace." Full review
Michelin Guide "The look is Turkish, inspired by the Ottoman Empire...ten restaurants, ten tennis courts, a gym, spa, pool and hammam, and it’s clear there’s no physical need that could possibly go unmet here." Full review

Frommer's "This Hilton (not to be confused with the Hilton Dubai Creek) enjoys one of the best beachfront locations in Dubai." Full review
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
