Hotel Amwaj Rotana Jumeirah Beach, Dubai
Expert reviews
“Though in the moderate range, you still get five-star accommodation at the Amwaj Rotana. For half the price of the luxury resorts you get a room on JBR Walk, the area where locals show off their souped-up Jeeps and million-dollar Ferraris.”

We were upgraded to a full sea view, and the view over the panorama wheel, beach and whole lively area was breathtaking. Great breakfast buffet. Kind staff members. Perfect location of the hotel.
The elevators were difficult to get in during the breakfast time.

Highly recommend this hotel for location, comfort and all inclusive at competative rates.
The team working all very well trained and quality professionals. Very clean and modern hotel in a prime location of Dubai. I would like to say a huge thank you to Wiem and Mohammed at reception who were both really helpful and accommodating. Also Mike by the pool was very fun and energetic. Thank you all.

great hotel!
We had a perfect family stay at this hotel. We booked the standard room with sea view which opened up perfect views from the 6th floor apartment and balcony to jbr beach, the dubai ferris wheel with a beautiful light show every evening. exceptional friendly hotel staff, always ready to help and inform. great breakfast. location in dubai marina is also fantasic, close to restaurants and entertainment and easy to reach with metro and taxi. there is also a pub, an italien and a japanese restaurant located directly in the hotel. pool and spa is also fantastic, clean and well taken care of.
there was one downsight which does not directly connect to the hotel but happened right in front of it and it is always worth to share such information with hotel and guests: we wanted to take a taxi (to also add to their business, not only uber and careem) which usually is cheap and works smoothly. right on the other side of the street from the hotel you can find a taxi stand. we walked over there and asked for a taxi and where guided to another car (not a dubai taxi) which was parked right in front of the taxis. of course, i asked if that is a normal taxi with taxometer and was assured it was. when we arrived at our destination, the driver wanted to charge me 4 1/2 times the normal price (i know this because on the way back i took a clearly marked dubai taxi) after 10 minutes of discussion with the guy i got him down to double price and payed because i was already tired of discussing this with him. the hotel should not allow such scams in front of their building or at least warn their guests as this just leaves a negative taste.

A lovely hotel in a nice area of Dubai. The breakfast is amazing!
The staff Habib (concierge) & Mohammed (reception) were courteous, helpful , friendly & kind. Definitely made our stay more enjoyable. Fabulous buffet breakfast & lovely pool area. The hotel club service is well worth joining considering how costly it is to dine out in Dubai.
Some staff lack customer service and are not obliging especially when they have provided false information & charges to do with use of facilities on the property.

had a wonderful stay at Amwaj Rotana – Dubai. The hotel boasts an excellent location and high-quality services, but what truly made my experience special was the staff member AKO. She was incredibly professional, multilingual, and extremely kind and generous in her service. Her warm and helpful attitude added a personal touch that made me feel truly welcomed. Many thanks to her and the entire team. I highly recommend this hotel and would definitely return in the future.

Would not book all inclusive again hence I would not return to this hotel but thankyou to all the staff who were excelle
Staff and food excellent
The all inclusive package was restricted and did not clarify what the restrictions were on booking. Very disappointed. I wish to add a comment since I posted this review. On arrival back in the UK I received an unexpected phone call from the hotel manager, Mostafa, he was extremely apologetic and dealt with our complaint in a professional manner resulting in an agreed conclusion. I appreciatede the effort he made and I will now return as he listened and took my points onboard which in turn should benefit other customers who have booked. Thankyou Mostafa.

Best hotel in JBR
Everything was perfect. I loved my room, the staff were so polite, professional and presentable. The cleaner Mohammed was fantastic, faisal, basit ,and nabeel at reception were absolutely amazing. A credit to Amwaj. The staff made the experience, I had no issues and they helped me with everything. The pool facilities were very clean. The hotel is in walking distance to so many restaurants and shopping areas.
I can't complain. Everything was spot on.

An Amazing Stay — Truly Exceptional Experience!
Our stay at this hotel in Dubai was truly wonderful. The location is perfect — peaceful and close to everything, with easy access to a clean, beautiful sea and a lovely area for walks. The food was fresh, tasty, and different every day — we looked forward to every meal. The staff were incredibly friendly and genuinely caring, always making sure we were happy. A special and heartfelt thank you goes to Wiem at the reception. She was absolutely fantastic — extremely informative, warm, and helpful throughout our stay. Her tips and advice made a huge difference and added so much to our trip. Honestly, our stay wouldn’t have been the same without her — she is a real asset to the hotel and made us feel truly welcome, not just as guests but as valued individuals. My family and I are incredibly grateful to her. The room was spacious and clean, with a great shower, a balcony with a beautiful view, and TV channels in multiple languages — a nice touch. The hotel smelled amazing and felt calm and welcoming throughout. The door staff were also super helpful with taxis and anything we needed. All in all, a fantastic experience — we felt so well cared for. Would definitely come back and highly recommend!
Only a tiny minus — there are just three lifts, so if you’re staying on a high floor, you might wait a bit during busy times.

An ideal hotel, fair price, good location and excellent staff.
The location suited our needs as it was central to JBR and in easy access to the tram and metro. the area had numerous places to eat and there were a number of locations where you could enjoy a drink if wanted. The hotel was close to the beach and also in walking distance of places like Blue waters island. We were let down by the hire car company but the reception service helped in getting us a car organised through one of their contacts.
The only thing I would say became annoying is the number of high powered cars that run in-front of the hotel revving their engines at all times of the day and night, because there is a tunnel over the road where the Rotana Pool is they rev their engines in the tunnel which is annoying.

Fabulous
Room at higher floors with panoramic view over JBR beach. Half-Board with access to 3 restaurants with fine dinning. Kids facilities such kid's club and kid's pool. Staff was kindley and offered a better room at higher floors; we got also free access at the rooftop lounge for breakfast. Location is very great, beachfront and at walking distance from Marina Dubai.
Rooms with sea view are too noisy (there is noise coming from the cars and loud music from the near by pubs can be heard even at higher floors)

Perfect Family holiday, faultless in every way
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Perfect Family Getaway – Exceptional Service & Unforgettable Experience! From the moment we arrived, we knew we had made the right choice. Despite landing in Dubai in the early hours after a long flight, the hotel staff welcomed us warmly and allowed us to check in early—a gesture we deeply appreciated, especially with our young son needing rest. The atmosphere throughout the hotel is simply beautiful—luxurious yet family-friendly. We booked the half-board option, and to our delight, drinks were included (a refreshing change from many other hotels where even water comes at a premium!). The food was absolutely outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Our son loved the shaded kids’ pool, which made playtime enjoyable even during the warmer hours. But what truly sets this hotel apart is the people. The staff went above and beyond at every opportunity, with genuine warmth and attentiveness that made us feel completely at home. ( The pool staff and the restaurant Staff thank you for being incredlble humans) A special thank you to the incredible food director, Julie—her warm, generous spirit made our experience even more memorable. She helped us celebrate my husband’s birthday in the most thoughtful way. Even the hotel director Hossam personally came by to wish him a happy birthday, which was such a kind and unexpected gesture. We truly fell in love with this place and everyone who works there. This hotel is a hidden gem for anyone looking to enjoy the true essence of Dubai, combining luxury, prime location, and great value for money. We cannot recommend it highly enough—we’ll definitely be back!

As beautiful as usual.
In addition to the strategic location, the hotel rooms are large, clean with outstanding views. The hotel contains excellent restaurants with so delicious food. And the most important element that would make you love to stay at Amwaj Rotana is the staff. So friendly and welcoming and they make you feel home and special.
In some rush hours, the access to JBR becomes so crowded but not all the time.

Amazing stay, great location would definitely go back and recommend if you want to be by JBR
Location was great. Staff so friendly and helpful. Loved Mohammed and Mike by the pool. Choice at breakfast was amazing. Always being refilled.

Great stay! Perfect location
Location is perfect! Right on JBR everything you want on your doorstep. For the all inclusive there is a lot included the cocktails are really good and quite strong! You get included the al cart restaurants too. My room was huge with the most perfect view.
The pool area was quite small ( but then it’s so close to JBR which is probably why. My room was perfect BUT was directly opposite bla bla so it sounded like i was sleeping in a club haha. I’m a solo young girl they probably put me there assuming I’d be out, I was only staying 1 night so I didn’t bother to move but bla bla is a open air bar beach club / night club so if they have events it’s super super loud. The pool was full of kids ( for me this was a negative ) but it’s kids holidays so I understand and would be great for other family’s.
