Stay in the hotel was ok as the rooms were not worth paying AED 1000 as it was lacking luxury. The only attraction of the hotel/room is the private beach which comes attached to the balcony. If you are going to stay in this hotel, book only the Villa Superior Room which is bit costly but will make your trip... More

Stayed here for a few days whilst on business in Dubai. Hotel is located about an hour’s drive from the airport, and one hour twenty minutes from the centre of Dubai. It is situated on a lovely beach front in a very quite area. The room I booked was situated right on the beach, and was very spacious and clean,... More

Very nice environment, nice beach, not crowded, the bar is overlooking the beach and the sunset, excellent relaxing moments. Rooms are spacious (I suggest however a more fresh decoration), service is good, prices are honest. Much appreciated the always smiling but efficient ladies at the reception. Ingredients for a relaxing weekend are there.

My husband and I visited Al Hamra Fort hotel in 2011 for the first time and enjoyed staying in the main hotel building.

Travelled to Al Hamra from Dubai to spend a short weekend break with friends and family. The Friday brunch was simple but a welcome alternative to the overwhelming choices in Dubai.

The property is great and spread over a huge area. But the facilities and service are mediocre and not upto 5* standards. The room also is good, but empty mini bar, a single soap, no bath room slippers etc. shows mediocre service attitude or cost saving attitude. Also any 5* hotel around the world nowadays will have a kettle and... More
