"Friendly bar staff at this converted Fire House. Now a hotel, bar, and famed restaurant. Had drinks here over the winter period. Sat outside heated and enjoyed a hot toddy or five. Pricey but worth it"

"Thoroughly enjoyed this Brasserie. Let down by ride and obnoxious lady maître d's however this was made up with otherwise friendly and courteous service and great food. No beers on tap here however."

"Beach and pool area is lovely. Needs some refurbishment"

"One of the iconic building in Dubai. Nice hotel with great restaurants and a shopping arcade that is gradually being transformed into the city's hub for innovation"

"One menu. Eat all you can. Thali system. Lots of little dishes all veg and yummy."

"Old dame of the Dubai Beach scene. Great for families. Big beach area with plenty of shaded areas and 3 pools to choose from. Grassy areas near the beach are great but may be attacked by flies."
