Al Qasr Hotel

Great service and lovely hotel, but atmosphere very "empty" feeling. Happy hour in Club Executive not very happy considering all the champagne being consumed. Good time, but wouldn't go back.

Stayed here for a week in June and had a fantastic time. We were treated loke royalty from the minute we arrived. Everything about this hotel screams class!! We had a look at the Mina A Salam while we were there but the Al Qasr is superior in every way.

this place will blow you away - simple as that. as other reviews state it is actually 3 different 'hotels' within the overall resort which translates as the city of jumeirah. you have access to it all - via abras (boats), buggies or walking. plus you can walk or ride along the promenade to burj al arab, jumeirah beach and the water park. to see it, esp at night, has to be believed. you will love this place - it is stunning, spotlessly clean, luxurious, unique and very stylish. although huge (c1km end to end and c3000 guests) it never feels busy or crowded and the c4000 staff provide an exceptional service). the views at burj al arab at night are incredible as are the views of the resort itself - esp from the many roof top and upper level bars

I am confident that all reviews on this property will be positive Everything about a stay at Al Qasr is superb. The service is impressive, the rooms, lounges, pool, food and the beach are all terrific. Everyone goes out of their way to make your stay special. All of the staff are friendly, smiley and helpful and unlike a trip to the States, this is all done without the goal of a tip / gratuity. I have stayed at many top class resorts alledgedly five star. This one deserves all its accolades and many, many more. NB The adjacent Mina A' Salam is also pretty impressive although the rooms and decor at Al Qasr is far superior.

If there is such a thing as a seven-star hotel, the Al Qasr is it. Totally enjoyable, amazing architecture, excellent acommodations and food galore, the beach and swimming pools wonderful, the service so attentive and everyone of the vast multinational staff is friendly and helpful. This place makes you feel so good - maybe one should keep it as a secret... to be shared only with your best friends!!!

stayed for 7 nights with wife and son we were all totaly amazed at the sheer decadence of what can only be described as the finest hospitality in this amazing place, calling it a hotel cannot do justice as al qasr translated means `the palace` and that is what you get from the first welcome to the last goodbye. the surrounding decor is the best money can buy, the rooms are all modern but sympathetic to the arabian theme, the staff are all very polite and will quickly offer to help no matter what you ask. the pool is freeform and ideal for families must be good everybody from neighbouring mina a salam goes there, kids club is first class with there own mini water park. the souk is very good and restaurants are fantastic. one little niggle is there is nowhere to stock up on cans of coke,crisps etc for kids(because they want you to use the mini bar in rooms,very expensive £2.40 for can of pepsi, £2 for snickers bar). if going to malls go in the daytime very busy at night, also only one mall worth visiting the deira city centre mall this is where the locals shop, has supermarket (6 cans of pepsi £1)large foodcourt, mini fairground and cheapest electricalgoods and clothes. forget the burj this is luxury it must be good it was full of footballers, sports stars,etc when we were there definately going back buckingham palace of the east

Have just returned from 5 night at the Al Qasr and feel very depressed. Travelled with my wife and 2 children (9 & 7) and will definately return. We stayed in the premium leisure part of the hotel and would highly recomend paying the extra, the breakfasts were superb with lots of variety as was the food served in the evening. The swimming pool is the best of the complex and ultra safe given how many life guards are always on duty. The kids loved the kids club (Sinbads) as they could wander in and out as and when they wanted. Sinbads also provided 3 hours of evening entertainent inlcuding tea for 55dhs per child. The food on the whole was very good although we were slighly dissapointed with Nappa and the Thai resteraunts, good food but little choice. The staff are ulta friendly and always more than willing to help. My wife lost her handbag in the Souk and it was found within 2 hours with everything still in it (including money) Overall, an ideal holiday destination to relax and laze by the pool or on the beach even if you have kids in tow.

It's difficult to picture this hotel until you have been here. It is magnificent! It must be set on 100 acres and therefore probably occupies more land than any Las Vegas Hotel. Luxury Luxury Luxury. Imagine a hotel where you can take a motor boat trip for 10 minutes around the hotel grounds. Its rivers makes the Venetian in Vegas look tiny. It has around 40 resturants and about the same number of massage villas. The pool is the biggest we've ever seen and its next to the beach with a fantastic water park next door. Not that you need that. 30 people on exclusive 2 mile+ long beach is pretty busy. We've been fortunate to stay at many of the worlds top hotels including Gleneagles, Four Seasons in New York, Ritz Carlton Atlanta, Many hotels in Vegas, The Boardwalk in Florida, The Grand in Vienna, The K Club in Ireland, The Hilton in Rome, Olunda in Greece, Anassa in Cyprus and the Jumeirah Beach in Dubai. None of them come close to this experience. Whether a special occassion or just for a treat, you must come here. Amazing and great value too. They sweep the paths of leaves, dust the railings and regularly dust 20 foot chandeliers. The staff are the most polite we have ever seen along with the K Club in Ireland. Our only complaint was that there was only one jar of gummy bears in the room!!!! and they replaced them every day! Love our Gummys! If you only visit one hotel this year go to the Al Qasr. Being in Dubai its also probably one of the safest hotel in the world no matter what your nationality.

Having just returned we totally agree with the superlatives from other contributors. We too thought the Jumeirah Beach Hotel would be very hard to beat but the Al Qasr clearly did. The levels of service in all areas and the quality of the building/rooms were exceptional. We loved the fabulous pool area and the ability to utilise all the facilities of the Madinat Jumeirah ( 40+ restaurants)- we were spoiled with choices of where to eat. Although the prices were on the high side the quality and service were very good. We liked the Zheng He ( the Chinese in the Mina A' Salam ) and the Segreto ( Italian accessed through the Souk). If you want to spoil yourself go to the AQ ( as the staff seem to call it) - you will be impressed from the moment you drive up the entrance, welcomed by the attentive and friendly staff and see the magnificence of the entrance hall - just look at the chandelier !! The AQ means The Palace and it is well named as you will be treated like royalty

My husband and I stayed at the Al Qsar for 5 nights to celebrate our 10th Wedding anniversary (without the kids!) This hotel is just beautiful, the service is second to none and the staff in the hotel are the most friendly and helpful I have met anywhere in the world. The pool is excellent surrounded by 8 lifeguards at all times. Waiters bring you fresh fruit and cucumbers throughout the day! The pool attendents make up your sunbed with towels and neck pillows. You are made to feel like royalty at all times, wherever you are in the complex. The water way that surrounds the hotel makes it really special and you can hop on and off the free boats all day. The restaurants were superb, it was a shame we didn't have enough time to eat in them all! The souk was a great place for an evening stroll and there are also plenty of restaurants to chose from. The six sense spa was really great and we had a massage together in the same room. The view of the Burj and ocean from the room was unbelievable. The rooms are luxurious and spacious. We had dinner in the Burj so we could have a look around . Although the Burj is an amazing place to visit I would not pay double the price of the Al Qsar to stay there. You are better off just making a dinner or lunch reservation so you can get in and be nosey! We have stayed in 5+ star hotels all over the world but this beats all of them all hands down. We can't wait to go back, this time with the kids. (Kids club looked good) You can't fail to be impressed with this hotel.
