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."
