Jumeirah is a beautiful hotel in a beautiful location - but worth $1000 a night? Probably not. It's very nice, staff are great, but very expensive and the restaurants and spa are also overpriced. Basically a place for rich Germans to "Urlaub machen".
Location is near hiking trails and a beach and touristy area with shops and restaurants, where you can rent SUP boards, kayaks, etc. the hotel has an infinity pool on top with a restaurant and pool bar, and another pool below with another full restaurant and pool bar. The food is AMAZING here.
Rooms are beautiful with a view of either the hills/mountains or the ocean and cliffs. View is amazing. Rooms are spacious and comfortable.
Hotel has a spa that offers massages, facials, several saunas, and a thermal pool which was slightly warmer than lukewarm.
The service is high quality; The staff will basically do anything you tell them. The housekeepers took all of my clothes that were thrown on the floor and folded them for me, which I found a bit excessive. They also came in at night with waters and "prepared" our beds for sleeping for us, whatever that means.
My two complaints would be:
The layout of the hotel is very maze like and it's a bit complicated to get anywhere, your room, spa, pools, restaurants; but not really much of an issue.
We booked one room for four people with a bed and pullout bed, definitely enough to fit four people. We checked in around 2 pm, and they took all four of our passports and did not mention any issue with this. At 9pm they call our room and inform us that four people are not allowed to stay in one room and that we will need to buy ANOTHER room!! Why are they telling us this at 9pm and not when we are checking in?? I think not only is this policy a bit ridiculous when the room has the equivalent of two double beds, but it was ridiculous to tell us this so late.
