Dubai is a rich, hot city, which is the capital of the emirate of the same name. It’s hard to believe, but when this modern metropolis was an ordinary village of Bedouin merchants. And today, tens of thousands of tourists come here to relax and enjoy the delights of luxury that reigns here almost everywhere. But for this, you first need to choose the right hotel. A great option would be Hotel Ja Jebel Ali Beach Hotel.
Briefly about the hotel
This complex was built exactly 35 years ago. Despite this age, everything inside looks modern and new. Which is not surprising. After all, a complete reconstruction was carried out 7 years ago, and cosmetic repairs are carried out regularly.
This hotel is ideal for people who want to both get acquainted with the local culture and enjoy a beach holiday. After all, Dubai is located on the Arabian Peninsula, washed by the Persian Gulf. And Hotel Ja Jebel Ali Beach Hotel is located at all on its own private beach, the length of which is about one kilometer. So there is enough space for everyone.
And the airport is pretty close - about 40 minutes from the hotel. Also nearby is the golf resort and SPA Jebel Ali. Other interesting sights to drive. They are within 10-20 kilometers of the hotel.
About Services
Hotel Ja Jebel Ali Beach Hotel has everything you need for a comfortable stay. In the lobby guests are welcomed with a 24-hour reception. There is also a point where you can exchange currency, a tour desk, an ATM and a concierge offering their services. Wi-Fi, by the way, is distributed not only in the lobby, but throughout the complex (and to the rooms too), and it’s absolutely free.
The hotel has a laundry with dry cleaning, where they can iron clothes and clean guests shoes. The hotel has a business center, conference room, office with photocopy and fax.
Naturally, there is a car rental, a hairdresser with a beauty salon and services for delivering newspapers, drinks and food directly to the guests' apartments. Shops are also available on site.
Special attention should be paid to the level of staff training. This hotel employs people who are native speakers of 17 different languages! So no one will have communication problems. There are employees who know English, German, Spanish, French, Swedish, Dutch and Portuguese. There are employees who speak Chinese, Vietnamese, Filipino, Indonesian and Italian. And some employees speak Russian, Ukrainian, Lithuanian and Hindi. Of course, everyone here speaks Arabic. Such a decent level of training pleasantly surprises all visitors.
Transfer
I would also like to dwell on this service. Hotel Ja Jebel Ali Beach Hotel provides its guests with a free shuttle service to the shopping centers of the capital. But that is not all. They are also welcomed at the airport - right after the guests receive their luggage, they should start looking for representatives of the hotel with a sign that says its name.
If the transfer is ordered not from the Dubai airport, but from the one located in Abu Dhabi, then tourists need to go to the sixth exit from the lobby and look for a driver there. Because there are no hotel representatives at Abu Dhabi International Airport. A transfer from Sharjah Airport is also possible .
They take guests to the hotel not for free. The price depends on which airport they arrive at. The minimum amount is 200 dirhams (3,400 rubles), and the maximum is 475 (about 8,070 rubles). The cheapest transfer costs from the first terminal of Dubai Airport. The most expensive option is from Abu Dhabi, in a 7-seater luxury minibus.
