Hello and thanks for your vlog we plan to go there in first of June do you recommend full board or just breakfast? Did they allow food from outside?

@FoodieFarrah 19 күн бұрын

Hi there, June is a nice time to go! We did full board because we didn’t want to spend so much on outside food as we had spent lots of activities. If we didn’t have activities we would have done breakfast only or half board because along JBR there’s sooo many spots to eat and try. We never brought food from outside so I’m not sure, but I don’t see why you couldn’t and take it to your room. x

Excellent video. Thank you for sharing. Do you recommend this hotel or JBR area?

@FoodieFarrah 4 ай бұрын

Thank you! This hotel is in JBR area just it’s a little bit out, I am trying the Address Hotel Resort which is closer to the JBR area so I can see the difference. I did enjoy the JBR walk so I’m keen to stay nearer.

Hi there! Of course happy to help. When on the beach I couldn’t hear anything from the construction as it was little bit far, from the infinity pool you couldn’t hear anything either. I’m not sure if the construction will develop next year and cause any issues, worth asking them when the finish date is. So on google maps it’ll tell you the time to the middle of the Walk, whereas for us it starts from about 10 mins from the hotel, so you’ll go past Rixos Hotel etc Im hoping to Stay at Address Hotel in September which is more near the Walk so might give you a bit more comparison x

Hi 👋 Yeh I saw a few kids at the hotel, they had slide and special play area for them near the pool, an ice cream place and football play area. I’m not sure what entertainment they had inside the hotel. I hope you enjoy it 🙌

@foodiefarrah hi can't choose between this and Hitlon Dubai Jumeriah. How was the food here ? Pls let me know

@FoodieFarrah 2 ай бұрын

Food here was good the restaurants were fabulous, the buffet food was average nothing amazing. I’ve never stayed at Hilton Jumeriah, but I know it’s a very popular hotel and I think it’s quite well located, this hotel was I little bit of a walk to the main promenade area etc

Hi great video I’m thinking of booking this hotel for next year just concerned about the construction work is this very loud when your on the beach or around the pool? Also on google maps it says 20 minutes walk from hotel to the walk is this correct or 10 minutes as you say in your video? Thank you in advance 😊

Hi Yasmine I was there in September . To be honest at night I could hear the construction going on , when your not a good sleeper and pay quick attention too noise at night , you will hear the construction. At the main pool the sound is quit loud sometimes , depending what work is going on . They are building a large tower and it will be finsihed in 2027 I checked . Some people complained about the construction during my stay I saw at the pool . Sometimes the noise was quit loud at the main pool . At the beach it’s quit and at the rooftop pool it’s not so bearable due to the music . The tower itself / the framework need still to be build. So I assume it will be more noisy , depending which stage of co structuring will be happening . Just take it in consideration. I was uninformed about the construction and some nights I could not sleep .

@@KevinSama1982 Hi There 👋 Thank you for the updated feedback! When I went there hadn’t started putting much up but understandably as it progresses it may be nosier. Were you on the oceanfront side room? I wonder if it’s any different on the other side of rooms. Sorry to hear your stay wasn’t great, what did you think of the hotel otherwise? Thanks x

@@FoodieFarrah hi Farah , I was there in the middle of September for two weeks . I had the ocean view room in the sun set tower , so my view was over the garden towards the ocean from balcony . Beautifull view . The hotel itself is good in my opinion . The staff is very friendly and helpful, the food buffet at the restoran was also good , and the rooms are spacious and well maintained by the housekeeping . The location of the hotel I also like , I was there for a second time . There are some small rooms for improvement, like the polo bar I found lacking atmosphere , often it was very silent there and no entertainment , and the underground bar and polo bar were both smoking places , which I found a pity . Further there could be a little bit more choice in breakfast for the price they charge . And this year the construction sounds unfortunate kept me awake some nights and at day time they kinda ruined the vibe at the main pool . But the hotel itself in general is a very decent and good place to stay with friendly staff and high hygienic standards and good rooms .

@@KevinSama1982 aww that’s a shame about the construction glad u avoided that. I didn’t go to the underground bar, but wouldn’t have liked it if it was smoking place anyway. Yes I deffo agree about the breakfast I found the same, especially after I went to the Address Beach resort which was further down JBR and they had such an extravagant breakfast. Thanks for sharing your in-depth feedback I love to know everyone else’s experience as well during hotel stays 🙌🙌 Anywhere else you’d recommend on JBR?

We were looking at Dukes initially but I’d been to few Palm Hotels and I just didn’t think there was much to do on the Palm in evening/night also the taxis into and out of Palm got expensive. So we went for Habtoor as we wanted to experience a stay on JBR, we also stayed at the Address Hotel on JBR for another comparison. I deffo preferred the night life and atmosphere on JBR over Palm, otherwise both hotels are great and have similar vibes, hope that helps! Ask me if you have any other questions 😀
