    The food was nice but not always great. The ice cream was disgusting. Everything seemed like an extra and costly. At times it felt more like a corporate hotel so maybe staying in one of the other resorts would have been more relaxing and comforting. The location was really out there

    It had everything you needed and more in terms of activities

    Everything is always excellent

    We have stayed at The Beach Hotel and Palm View several times as we love them but this was our first time at JA Lake View and it was equally as excellent. We love all of the hotels within JA because the facilities are so good for everyone (adults only or families). It's our absolute favourite hotel in Dubai. The beaches are stunning, the pools are brilliant and the service and staff are very kind. Plus there are plenty of amazing dining options.

    It was an amazing stay for us.The rooms were very well maintained and clean. We had a 5 month old baby and the staff helped with a nice crib. The rooms were very spacious also. The splash park was a great experience for our 8 year old son. The lush green atmosphere and natural environment just made it all the more perfect!!

    Things we didn’t like about the hotel: There are different type of meal plan. We chose Half Board, and we found it super shady. Like “you can go to this and this restaurant but not those” then it turned out we actually could go to most restaurants (the nice ones) we had actually a daily credit to spend there. We only had to pay excess or drinks. Every time we wanted to book either restaurants or the shuttle to the mall they would say “its full” then we would try and go and it was fine. Not full. So we found some stuff not very nice and helpful trying to kind of making things difficult. The Resort is super far from the city and all attractions. So if you are looking to have a hotel life kind of holiday I would recommend. Its great to chill. But not if you want to know Dubai and do lots of things there. Its super far and gets expensive to travel all the time.

    We loved the hotel facilities. Basically the Hotel is on a huge Resort with 2 other hotels. You have plenty of activities. Sports. Restaurants. Beach. Bars. There’s a shuttle to take you around the Resort. Very nice and handy. There’s also a complimentary shuttle to take you to the mall. Which is quite a long ride. So its very helpful.

    A very peaceful short break

    I booked the half-board option and whilst in general the evening meals were good, a few things could be improved: - Several of the restaurants included in the half board package were closed when I was there, limiting my options. - There was not a lot of choice for vegetarians, and in some cases no vegetarian main course options. - None of the menus at any of the restaurants had dairy-free dessert options (I am allergic). Each time the chef was able to offer a sorbet (once mistakenly giving me ice cream) or fresh fruit (the same fruit available at breakfast) but nothing else. There were renovation works going on in the bedroom next to mine, which meant on one morning I was woken up early by the sound of drilling. The drilling was also in a room directly above the adult-only pool meaning that relaxing next to the pool during the day was sometimes accompanied by the sound of drilling... On several days during my stay the door between the breakfast room and the terrace was shut due to wind. It was possible to access the terrace via a side door which was a little inconvenient, but more frustrating was that the staff didn't often come out onto the terrace which meant long waits for coffee orders. It's a pity the pools weren't open earlier/later - only opening at 9.00am and closing at 18.00. It would have been nice to be able to have a swim before breakfast / an evening swim. A warning that the airport is an hour's drive away by taxi *without* traffic. I was generally lucky, but one taxi driver told me that he has had people miss their flights because they don't leave enough time for the traffic. He mentioned that there is a toll-road one can take to the airport, so consider whether it's worth to pay for this so as to reduce the risk of missing your flight or to leave extra time.

    Overall I had a wonderful stay. I particularly enjoyed the adult-only pool (there were a lot of children staying when I was there as it was during Easter vacation so it was good to have a small oasis of calm), the well-equipped gym, being able to stroll around the resort and down to the beach, the free yoga class, and the always-very-helpful staff. The breakfast buffet was excellent every day (it was great that it was open until 11.00am too), and I enjoyed reading the free newspaper each morning with my breakfast. Thank you also for the free room upgrade to a one-bedroom suite (although this did then turn out to be next to the drilling! Although that wasn't in general an issue as I didn't spend much time in my room). The room was very well equipped with plentiful free water and tea and coffee. The bed was very comfortable and the curtains very effective at keeping out the morning light, as the sun rose earlier than I did!

    Impossible to bring food on site. While we understand the rule, as a family with very young kids it would have been good to have the possibility to buy some food items on site as it was difficult to eat at restaurants with two infants.

    Amazing resort with so much to do. We went there as a family of 4 with two infants, and decided to stay in a suite to allow more space / babies could sleep in separate rooms. The room was tidied to high standard every day. There is so much to do even for little ones (we have one toddler), from the splash area to the different pools, to the beach and creche. The staff were overall excellent and super nice (bartender at Palmito pool was exceptional!). Highly recommend!

    Nothing really apart from a little issue with the golf as unclear of pricing from staff when booked as was incorrect but the manager golf pro sorted this out 🙂

    Overal excellent stay a little far out from Dubai city staff excellent and fantastic shuttle to the mall may be good a couple of times a week 🙂

    Half board excludes any drinks, even hot tea or juice, from the dinner buffet. Very noisy at night from the disco club,and every evening the restaurant downstairs was doing loudly their table/furniture rearrangements, and daytime annoyingly loud private company parties at beach. Not sure why the private parties have to use so loud speakers and mics while guests are relaxing at the beach and cannot participate in these events. Restaurant staff were always forgetting your order for the drinks. Had to follow up several times. There were no dispensers of hot water, unlike in many other hotels.

    It was very modern and clean building with great field for golf players. Friendly staff at reception.
