Amazing family holiday couple of weeks ago at the hotel, the hotel offers full service/activity for family from kids (water park) to adults (spas, gym). My parent sits on a wheelchair and the walk way to the beach cafe / pool is wheelchair friendly which is super helpful. There are many food cuisine to try within the hotel so everyday feels different. The hotel staff are also super friendly, Nook a Thai staff has been very helpful to my family and always has her big smile on. The hotel staff also does cute towel folding everyday in the room, I’m always excited to come back and see which new design they do each day. Highly recommend and would love to visit again.

Amazing family friendly hotel, clean, and great value for money with nice activities for kids. Our check in experience was exceptional, the lead of the reception team, Kookkay, and her team, were all super friendly and helpful! We were able to check into a better room as a result. They also handled a birthday request with cake in the room without me hearing anything further on it (I thought they may forget). Thank you for a lovely stay, we will return!

Perfect Family Distinction! This hotel covers all what a Family need to have a great day off. Facilities are tailored to cover the Kids expectations since check in. Granting you an early access to the pool, till your room is ready for check in is a unique and clever privilege. The staff is awesome, and very professional. Every time I visit the hotel I meet new faces; Today’s visit, Ms. Kookkay helped me to check in, and it was great, friendly and professional Very recommended

I actually wrote a very long comprehensive review for this hotel but the characters exceeded the limit. So I will stick to a summary and will gladly offer the hotel comprehensive feedback should they get in touch. Overall a good enough hotel. There were some points that really let it down and as a result, we would not return in future. The food and beverage really let this hotel down especially in our case staying on an all-inclusive basis. There were a lot of paid extras which made no sense and no daily stocked mini bar fridge. The rooms were not always cleaned and when they were it was very late in the day. The staff were mostly helpful and very welcoming however this was let down but some silly errors on occasion. Lifeguards were fantastic and made me feel safe for my family of young children. The pools are good enough and the beach is nice. Overall It was an ok stay and unfortunately I would not return. I do not feel the price paid was reflected in the quality of my stay. Again I welcome the hotel to reach out and will gladly offer a fully comprehensive review on our stay. Many thanks, Rooms 721 and 376

We had 5 night @Marina Byblos and everything was amazing. All the hotel facilities are great, the Deluxe Room with Marina View was amazing, cleaning was done daily and it was done properly. Breakfast buffet is very good. All the staff members are very friendly and helpful starting from housekeeping all the way to the managers, so congratulations to all of them. Location: 10 min walk from the beach, 2 min walk from the Marina, 5 minutes walk from Metro station. It was one of the best holidays for us. Thanks again for everything, hope to visit you again soon

The best bartender i met is called Dave and he works at Sky Bar. A very good man with a big heart helps you with whatever you need in any situation. A trustworthy man. We remained good friends. All respect to him

This hotel exceeded my expectations in every way. From the moment I arrived, the warmth and professionalism of all the staff made me feel truly welcome. The service here is exceptional, with the team always attentive to every need, one person who really stood out was Rose. Her genuine kindness to ensuring that we have a wonderful experience are superb. The food was another highlight—absolutely delicious!

Angelika Nersesyan

We spent a week at this hotel and were surprisingly amazed by the service level. There was no need to ask for help with luggage, they organised everything in advance. We liked the food a lot and it was one of the most important things. I celebrated my birthday and the staff made my day even more special. All the employees are very helpful and friendly. The location is another advantage, 10 minutes walk to the beach, a lot of supermarkets and brand shops around. Highly recommend this hotel and I will visit it again in the future for sure☺️🥰

Riu Hotel Dubai is an excellent choice for a fun, relaxing getaway. Located right on the beach, the hotel offers stunning views and easy access to the water, making it perfect for anyone looking to enjoy the sun and sea. The all-inclusive package is a major highlight, with a wide range of food and drinks available all day. The buffet is impressive, offering a mix of international and local dishes, and the themed restaurants add variety to your dining experience. The rooms are clean, modern, and comfortable, with everything you need for a great stay. I loved the spacious layout and the balcony, which offered a great spot to unwind with a view. The pool area is another standout—plenty of loungers, great service, and a vibrant atmosphere. Whether you’re looking to relax or join in on the activities, there’s something for everyone. The staff are friendly, attentive, and always ready to help, which made the experience even better. It’s a busy hotel, so it can get a little crowded at times, but everything is so well-organized that it doesn’t feel overwhelming. Overall, Riu Hotel Dubai is a fantastic option if you’re looking for a lively, all-inclusive stay with great amenities!

Whisky Cola&TEQUILA

the service is fantastic and always helps. the rooms are clean and always cleaned. breakfast and dinner super, a lot of choice and there really is nothing to complain about as well as the restaurant service super. overall the hotel service is great and I give them 100%. unfortunately 24 all-inclusive is not quite as it should be, alcohol is only from 10 am to 3 am where it doesn't bother me at all but no choice of alcohol, cheap vodka and cheap whiskey which is disgusting no matter what you mix it with, I had to try very hard so that they could mix vodka for me from cans because their cola is so disgusting that you can't drink it. so I recommend hotels to start having cans in bars. apart from that there are three swimming pools I understand that there are people with children but there should also be one swimming pool only for adults! you have a drink and the kids or you get a ball or you have water from the pool in your drink because the kids are swimming or jumping. there were a lot of older people who wanted to relax unfortunately they couldn't because the kids were jumping, the parents were drinking and trying to keep the kids behind the line in the pool. the pool should be only for 16+ and that would help the hotel a lot. I talked to the manager and I hope it will happen, a very positive person. Overall the hotel is super clean and the location is great!! everyone together with the manager is very great people! the parties didn't make sense either because at the same time there was a party upstairs and on the beach where it doesn't make sense at all! most hotels I've been to were for children from 19 to 21 and from 21 to 3 in the morning on the beach where it makes sense and people have fun here people got nervous and went back to their room. But overall the hotel is great service and restaurant Respect.

We stayed here in June 2024 and had an amazing experience as a family. The service was exceptional, the staff were friendly and accommodating, and the facilities were perfect for our needs. We loved every minute of our holiday. The buffet restaurant had maples of choice throughout the day. The Asian restaurant was our favourite but do check when it's open on arrival as we only got to go once as it was closed the rest of our holiday but this didn't affect our experience.

Stayed in May 2024 and can’t think of a single thing I would fault with this hotel. The service was top notch, the food was incredible, and the facilities spotlessly clean. I highly recommend purchasing a sea view room as the views in the evening are great. We travelled with our 4 year old son who had his birthday while at the hotel. He was overwhelmed by the attention he got at dinner and the little touches like a birthday cake and a well orchestrated happy birthday song just blew him away. I have noticed that the location has often been mentioned as a sticking point but in my opinion, it is perfect. Close enough to travel into town cheaply but also far enough away from the busy delights of Dubai so you can have a relaxing holiday mixed with a city break. We payed a chauffeur to take us on a 6 hour tour of Dubai, where he waited for us at every attraction. This cost less than £180 for the whole family and made our holiday. I must mention the service again, just incredible. On day two I suffered from sinus pain, the hotel helped me get medication delivered to the hotel within an hour and the cost was minimal. I highly recommend this hotel for any young families wanting a base to explore Dubai. If you have young children, the splash parks will have them entertained for hours, alternatively the multiple pools will keep the adults entertained.

We had an amazing time. Stayed there 4 years ago and we decided to come back which I am glad we did. Definitely can notice a lot of upgrades like food wise and variety of drinks. The Staff are exceptional honestly! So friendly and always accommodating! Entertainment was really fun! And watersports were definitely a plus. We are definitely coming back.

Me and my family were here for only 5 days, but these 5 days were one of the best ones of our lives. The hotel is beautiful and it has very nice and helpful service. The spa is comfortable and I also very recommend going for a massage there. We had the all inclusive package where we had breakfast, lunch and dinner. The food here tastes delicious and I think everyone should visit this hotel. Everyone there was really nice and helpful. The place is just perfect and I’d really like to come here with my family once again.

Good hotel with spacious rooms and big bathrooms too. The location is not far away from the main stuff such as: beach, Dubai mall, Al seef, DIFC, the airport all within 15-20 minutes but depends on traffic. Staff are friendly and attentive, housekeeping very good job done. The only thing I was missing was DND sign for the door and earplugs because it can be a bit noisy. Attaching my photos from my stay. I must highlight the fresh Arabic coffee with the dates which is such an important part in Gulf countries. Shukran 😊

Cristina Apologencia

A wonderful hotel with exceptional staff. The rooms are comfortable, and the shower is excellent! The pool is great, and the food and drinks are top-notch. The location is perfect, with attractions like the Dubai Frame, mall, and Burj khalifa nearby.

I really appreciated my experience in Jumeira Rotana: the service was really good, the food too and the room big and comfortable. I'm especially glad to Isuru for his service, and also to Sandani and Fairous for their kindness

Molly Villanova Jones

Great experience, every single of one the staff were amazing and couldn't be more helpful. They all were lovely as well and really made our stay that much better. Duncan greeted us every morning with a large smile and helped us with our taxi bookings. The pool staff were also 10/10. No complaints what so ever

I stayed at this hotel for 3 days. It was meant to be a 4star but I will give it 3 star at best. The bathroom wasn’t cleaned after previous visitors. The cleaning of the room and services needs to be better. The pool was very disappointing. Overall the experience could be better with better customer service and cleaning

Petr Stastny

Good hotel with good service and excellent food. I am not convinced that accommodation cost justifies quality of this hotel and its services, on the other hand everything is expensive in Dubai and this hotel is very close to Dubai Marina (ie.prime location). There was some misunderstanding/discussion around our accommodation when we arrived (what we paid for vs what we got), but this has been handled professionally by reception manager (thanks a lot). Majority of staff is very helpful (or tries to do their best), but as everywhere, there are single persons negatively influencing service quality.

Bogdan Veres

We felt great at this hotel. All hotel personnel were professional and kind. We had a clean and nice room with a spectacular view to Dubai Marina. Special thanks to Aysha who was very friendly and helpful and made our vacation more beautiful and unforgettable. I’d rate our experience 10/10.

Review Title: Memorable Stay at JA Ocean View Hotel We recently stayed at JA Ocean View Hotel, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel so welcome and catered to all our needs with warmth and professionalism. The room was spacious and offered breathtaking views of the ocean. It was well-equipped with all the amenities we needed, and housekeeping did an excellent job maintaining cleanliness throughout our stay. Abdullah - help us with taking in and out all our luggage’s and he is a very friendly and helpful person. The hotel’s facilities were impressive. The dining options were also outstanding – the breakfast buffet had a great variety, and everything was fresh and delicious. The location was another highlight, with easy access to the beach, restaurants, and shops. It was convenient for exploring the area while still feeling like a peaceful retreat. A huge thank you to the entire team at JA Ocean View Hotel for making our stay so enjoyable. We’ll definitely be returning and highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a blend of comfort, luxury, and great service. Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Hi We have been staying at this hotel two years ago, we liked everything. That’s why this year we decided to stay here. However our experience this time wasn’t as good as before. Entered the hotel, while my sister was checking in I decided to wash my face in the lobby bathroom. The bathroom was smelling so bad, and not cleaned at all in literally all cabins. The second day we came from the beach, the room was cleaned, but the towels were soaking wet from yesterday. We had to call the receptionist for new towels and they also didn’t provide with toothbrushes until we asked. Moreover, if you want to lay down by the pool and enjoy the sun you can’t. Because the buildings around the hotel hides the sun. The sun hits the hotel pool after lunch, and we saw that only two sun-beds at the corner is under the sun. So we go there, employee of the hotel told us that the cabanas have fee, I told them no I just want the sun-beds at the corner. The employee says that there is also fee for them. I was shocked, so we pay for the hotel to relax, have our own pool and sun beds, but we have to pay additionally for the sun beds?! I have been to so many hotels but seeing that we have to pay for sun beds at the pool in hotel we are staying in, is just shocking. There is free sun beds but the sun doesn’t hit them at all! The rooms are clean and the views are really good. I was impressed with the dinner in the hotel( lobby ), everything was really tasty!

Carla Jones

Just arrived home from a week here, we had such a great stay! The staff are really helpful and friendly and go out their way for you! The view from the hotel is incredible, the food was outstanding- not a French fry in sight! The rooms were lovely and cleaned daily. The swimming pool was lovely, there was always a sunbed available, and the staff always eager to ensure you have all you need. The beach is a two minute walk and the hotel give you a beach bag with everything you need including an umbrella. Great location too! We would definitely stay here again. 5 stars

Stayed at JA Ocean View for the first time this last visit to Dubai. I was with my family and everything about the experience was wonderful. All the staff were amazing from the communication before my visit regarding abnormal check in/check out times to the small details. It was my sons birthday during the visit and they upgraded our room, some of the staff wished him a happy birthday when they saw him and they left a cake for him whilst we were out. These small details make all the difference. Breakfast was great with a good variety. Location is perfect if you want to be in the heart of the bustling area of JBR on the beach and the walk. We didn't spend anytime at the pool and so cannot comment about that as we were always busy with the other attractions the city has to offer. I would definitely stay at JA Ocean view again.

Alyssa Jane Latido

JA Ocean View Hotel exceeds my expectations. The ambiance and view of the hotel is inviting and comfortable. I was impressed by their customer service, they are very attentive especially to Mostafa - the night manager who assures that our needs and demands will be provided. Everything was amazing. I will recommend this.
