I have just stayed here for 2 weeks over Christmas and I recommend highly. We are a family of 5 with 3 teenagers. I booked this hotel because of the outstanding reviews and they were not wrong. We have stayed in what would be considered as "more upscale" hotels in the Dubai area but I have to tell you this place is a gem. Do not judge it by the look of the building from the outside, yes, its not that pretty and slightly dated but everything else is simply perfect. First of all, you can use all the facilities of the Westin hotel including beach, pools and restaurants. You have a choice of 2 gyms, the one in the Westin and a roof top gym called Viya Fit, next door. This is a high tech gym, really amazing and modern with steam and sauna. We were on the half board dine around package and would recommend that highly. You can have 3 courses in all the restaurants with the odd dishes that included a supplement, such as lobster. But all in all, you had a lot of choice. The steak restaurant Baba was fantastic, me and my husband had Chateaubriand and that was included in our half board. Loved Bussola, El Sur, Sui Mui and Baba. We also used our Dine Around package at the Marriott on The Palm - a rooftop restaurant called Above Eleven. I would highly recommend although concierge weren't super clear about when we dined at restaurants outside of the Westin/Le Meridien. You just get an amount of money towards your meal - you do not get 3 courses. Concierge need to be a bit clearer about that. As you will have to top up, quite a bit. The housekeeping team do an amazing job in the rooms with lots and lots of water, fresh towels, tea, coffee - the rooms are spotless and luxurious. All the staff are excellent and focused on making guest experiences their priority. I called down a few evenings to room service for a bucket of ice and glasses so we could have a bottle of wine on our balcony. Nothing was too much trouble. There is a Carrefore supermarket across the road so you can pop over for snacks etc. oh and the breakfast is one of the best we've had, hot, plentiful and tasty. Really a very good hotel - book with complete confidence. We will come back, for sure.
