Hilton Fujairah Hotel

The Fujairah Hilton is suffering the fate of a lot of older less-prime properties. They generate less income, less money gets spent on the facilities, which leads to fewer guests, and its a vicious circle. So, the hotel brings in tour groups of Germans who just want to get a suntan, and for that its not a bad idea. The Chalet rooms are excellent. Modern and renovated but the executive suite was showing its age, though clean and neat. Compared to the Jumeirah Beach Hilton...well, there is no comparison. The beach is,... more

Stayed there only for one night on the way back from Al Ain to Dubai. Quite old hotel but they try hard to maintain everything. Staff friendly but not very attentative. The have a nice cafe at the beach and the food is ok. Rooms are nice, hotel itsself a little bit run down. Beach small and you can see lots of tankships. All in all Fujairah is not really the place where you want to spend one week for holiday. Lots of people with children and many from Germany.

Easy to find hotel but the drive from Dubai is at least 90 minutes. Very friendly staff and easy check in with offers of the local coffee and dates. Comfortable rooms, very well cleaned and looked after by the housekeeping staff. Good breakfast with freshly squeezed orange juice - a highlight!! Big choice of items on the buffet. Poolside very comfortable with plenty of beds and towels, staff more than willing to help get you comfortable. Beachside cafe popular with a good selection of food. Beach is kept clean but... more

Stayed there just the one night and just had breakfast there. Initial impressions from lobby is a well kept hotel, but getting to your room displays the age of this hotel (nearly 30 years old). The lift is like a Paris hotel - narrow and less than 7 feet height. I found once you passed the lobby it was all a bit smelly. The (poor) quality of construction is showing itself with doors that look tatty as well as the hallway windows. Changing rooms really show the age - sinks with big cracks running right across the whole sink. The rooms... more

This is as good as the best reviews have said, and principally because of the staff. I don't know how the hotel has achieved this, because they come from many different countries and cultures, mostly from Asia. The staff management must be world class, because every single person is so friendly and helpful, without being servile. Getting to Fujairah from Dubai is interesting. The safe and expensive way is by taxi - Dubai's uniformed drivers and excellent new taxis give a great feeling of confidence. The cheaper and more exciting way is... more

Whilst many guests seemed pleased with this resort..a word of balance. The main gripe is the beach & sea here. The beach is of grey sand, for reasons that will become clear when you read on! The cause...regular inflows of oil from tankers further out cleaning out their tanks, allowing oil to REGULARLY come ashore here. You see it on the water and sand. If you don't see it, you find it on your feet when you come off the beach. this is why the hotel supplies lemon wipes ( & sometimes a bottle of washing up liquid)...for you to clean off the... more

We have just returned from eight days at the Hilton Fujairah. I must say that this has been the best holiday we have ever had. The staff at the hotel were superb and everyone went out of their way to ensure that we had the perfect holiday. A special mention must go to Wubeshet one of the Chefs and to Dinesh who kept our room spotless. Although this hotel is 5 star, the service is certainly much higher. It feels like you are staying with friends rather than just another guest. If you want perfect weather, great food and a quiet,... more

This is the friendliest staff we have ever had in our 35 years of travelling around the world. The hotel is with its 100 rooms very cozy and the service very personalized. The food is a dream and no wish is left unattended. Fujairah is a good hour away from Dubai. A scenic drive through the mountains brings you from the East Coast's Indian Ocean to bustling Dubai with its great shopping and entertainment facilities. At the Hilton in Fujairah we paid not even half as much as we got offered in Dubai! If you are in the UAE this is a must... more

My wife and I live in Abu Dhabi (approximately a 3-hour drive from Fujairah) and love staying at the Hilton Fujairah whenever we can. The hotel itself is a bit old, but is immaculately clean, tidy, and well maintained. The property is certainly not in the same class physically as either of the Dubai Hilton properties (Jumeirah Beach or Dubai Creek), but I would much rather stay at the Hilton Fujairah than either of those properties. The primary reason for this can be attributed solely to the staff. In Dubai, you're just another... more

We stayed here in the summer of 2004 and were amazed at this small hotel. The staff were friendly and always there when needed. The rooms were of a good size and the restaurants were amazing and surprisingly cheap- eating with the indian ocean at your feet for around £10 a head and full dinner for 4 with drinks for £25. Water sports were avaliable on the private beachmany of them for free or for a small charge (much cheaper than watersports in dubai) Housekeeping left gifts for you at 6 each evening which was a nice way of getting... more
