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

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."
