Al Qasr Hotel Reviews

The hotel is situated on a lovely stretch of Jumeirah Beach which has stunning views of the Burj al Arab which is next door. There is a lot of building work in Dubai but you can't really see any of it from this hotel.
The staff are really wonderful and everyone smiles and greets you every time they see you. I felt really well looked after. We stayed in an Arabian deluxe room which was huge and beautiful. It was true five star luxury.
The hotel has waterways all around it so you are taken around the hotel on a little boat which is really lovely. The whole place is very Arabian in style, there are huge chandeliers in the Lobby, and the architecture is really impressive.
The hotel is very large as it is split into 3 separate parts but it is not a high rise resort, it is really elegant and peaceful. There are souks, bars, restaurants and a night club which are all excellent.
I would recommend this hotel as I absolutely loved it. It would be especially good for couples and honeymoons. It is absolutely perfect.

Our third visit to this absolutely faultless hotel, certainly not cheap but worth every last Dirham.

I'm sure that if you were royalty, you couldn't be treated any better.
Shopping in the Mall of the Emirate is a must, (£1.50 in taxi) many bargains; and while it's 45+ degrees and very humid outside, wander up the shopping mall in your flip flops to Ski Dubai and get all the necessary clothing and equipment, plus 2- 3 hours skiing or snow boarding for £18.
Five runs at various levels, including nursery slopes in fresh REAL snow in -5 degrees!
Most definitely not our last trip.

That makes it sound as though Al Qasr wasn't as good as the Mina, this is definitely not the case, in my girlfriends opinion there is nothing to choose between the rooms - and ours was excellent, breakfast is apparently equally excellent in both too! The pool at Al Qasr was comfortably the best pool I have experienced, the temperature was perfect, getting in and out is made very easy by the various ledges and the fact that the water overlaps the edge of the pool - ingenious! If you have children (we don't) there were also at least 6 lifeguards on duty (actually looking over the pool) at all times so there shouldn't be any worries there!
As I mentioned earlier, if you stay at either the Mina a Salam or Al Qasr you can use the facilities of the other, well in fact you also have the same access to the facilities at Jumeirah Beach Hotel. There is also the Madinat Souk, which is a small marketplace, nice but don't imagine you'll be experiencing a 'local market', it's more refined than that. Within the souk & the 3 hotels you get a choice of over 40 restaurants of varying types & qualities - we ate at Zheng He's (Chinese), Pai Thai (you can probably guess) and Segreto (Italian), all were execellent, though pricey, we also ate at The Noodle House which was also very good, though much cheaper.
Overall the whole experience was top notch - beautiful hotel, beautiful surroundings, friendly & helpful staff, great food and good weather - can't really ask for more. We are going to book our holiday there again in a few days time and also see if we can persuade some of our friends to come along too!
