“Never ceases to amaze”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 16, 2012

Fourth time at the Burj and it still takes your breath away like the first time.......beyond excellent....the rooms,the spa, the breakfast, the airport limo service....only downside I can think of is that in the last few years staying at the Burj has meant we never spend too much time in Dubai itself....the hotel is so fantastic....you just never want to leave!!

“Truly, the worlds 6 star hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 16, 2012

I travelled with my wife and 2 children from Hong Kong. After a long flight with Emirates on first class we checked into this hotel. We were driven by a limosine to the hotel. Check-in was the fastest I have ever imagined. We booked the Royal Suite and was the biggest suite I've ever lived in, which also had a private lift. It also came in with a Butler. My children played hide and Seek in there and they could not find each other for 30 minutes! I even got lost there! The suite was very pricy at 29,000 a night but if you are rich like me it's worth the money and if you compare this to the Ritz in London with their biggest suite in Christmas its about the same. Breakfast was really average and not so good. Lounge was great and had a perfect view of Dubai. We had a Helicopter service when we had to go to somewhere out of Dubai. We went to the beach and it was really convinent. Would defitney go here again.

Room Tip: Book a higher room which offers more sunlight if you like and a better view of the city. Note that a...

“You don’t see a person twice ! Such a Big-Lavish Hotel . My Elaborate Take”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 16, 2012

We were on our honeymoon trip to Dubai for 5 days and 4 nights & booked our package through Dubaionsale.com & got a cheap deal ( 15% off) on stay & sightseeing at Burj-al-Arab.BurjArab -a tourist paradise tht offers more attraction, shopping, fine dining and quality hotel experience. This was my first tour de Dubai.

Location:

The Burj Al Arab hotel is the best hotel in world located on Dubai’s Jumeriah Beach Strip, 15 km from main city centre and 25 km from Dubai International hotel. They have reception desk on every floor and butler services.

Rooms:

Since we had booked the honeymoon package, they gave us panoramic suite which offers us panoramic views of Arabian Gulf through the floor to ceiling glass windows in extremely luxurious setting. The lower level of the suite had living room with attached guest wash room. The upper level comprises of bedroom, bathroom and dressing room. The suite was elegantly furnished with dining table and couch in the living room and the king size bed and wardrobes in the bedroom. The full- size Hermes bathroom products were also there.

Restaurant and food:

The hotel comprises of 7 restaurants. Bab Al Yam, poolside café restaurant provides informal and a fresco dining with attractive sea view. We also tried food in Al Muntaha , which is a restaurant 200 metres above the sea level and having the dinner seems in this restaurant seems like adventure with sound of tides.

Staff:

The staff was absolutely fabulous- from the receptionist to the waiters to the cleaners. They were very polite, helpful and professional. Although the staff was too big but the coordination between them was really appreciable, heads off to the management of the hotel.

Overall hotel is awesome; it is really a good entertainment package. Everyone should try culinary flight; this is one of the major attractions of the hotel.

5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 15, 2012

it was such an amazing place to go to and if you need anything you will have it instantly the only down side is that there are alot of people around you but alot of security. there is the most beautiful fountains when you walk in and there are loads of really nice cars there like Rolls-Royce's the only thing is that it is really expensive. if i could i would live here it is the best place you could go to with your family and there is something for everyone like waterskiing for the men water parks for the kids and the spa for the women there is every thing you would want and more in a hotel. this hotel is really expensive but really worth it seeing everyone in your family having happy smiles on their faces relaxed and having fun all around you.i have absolutely fallen in love with this hotel. but my part of this hotel that i love is the submarine restaurant it is amazing it is at the base of the hotel with lots of fish swimming all around you. there are alot of all different types of fish which you think you wouldn't see now i am going back every year because i love it to much i couldn't stay away
