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.”

Had the most magical stay the hotel was stunning and in the best location
Absolutely amazing location staff all friendly and helpful,
No actually smoking area therefore people smoking at the pool which I didn’t like, also felt the pool was a bit small for size of hotel

Lifts where so slow . But the over all experience will have us coming back to this property
Great location. Everything you need is around
Mohammed housekeeping was so kind and respectful and if we needed anything extra he would always do his best for us. Always delivered and room was so clean on our return in the evenings

Thank you to all at Amwaj Rotana! Special thanks to Rishni and Irshad!
Super location, wonderfully helpful staff and a lovely hotel. The staff went out of their way to ensure we were comfortable. The best ever!

Very good
Loved the location, the beautiful décor, and the spacious room
While the staff were unfailingly polite and friendly, the service was unfortunately very slow. I requested a room cleaning once, but no one came the entire day until I happened to see a staff member on my floor. Even then, the cleaning was below expectations ! the bed was made and the trash bin emptied, but the towels were neither replaced nor washed, and some trash was left in the room. As for the dining experience, my stay included half board (two meals per day). Although the hotel offers a variety of restaurants, the food quality unfortunately did not meet the high standards typically associated with Dubai.

The hotel location made the holiday that little bit more special. Free upgrade to room when I asked on arrival so brilli
The location was fantastic. JBR strip. Lively area with beachfront location.
3 lifts for the whole of the hotel guests. However that have plans to introduce more lifts at some point in the near future following previous reviews. So can fault the hotel as they are responding to their customers feedback.

Family trip to Dubai
The location, the cleaning level. The staff were all amazing, very kind and helpful. Dilshan the lifeguard at the pool, was one of the most caring i have ever met, attentive and super cautious, we witnessed him saving a small child before our eyes . We were there on all inclusive basis, the food was very delicious. The pool, public areas all beautiful.
The main restaurant was closed for rennovation so our all inclusive meals were either the japanese or the italian restaurant. Even tho delicious but was too much of the same food for 8 days.

Excellent hotel in terms of price and quality. Very kind and caring attitude!
Excellent hotel in terms of price and quality. Very kind and caring attitude, this is not our first time here and our return visit left the best impressions! In the room we were greeted by a basket of fruit and a large plate of treats! Everywhere is clean, the floor is shining, there is a variety of food in the dining room! The location is very good, it is convenient to visit many places on foot, the beach is right outside the windows and there is a wonderful view from the room! This hotel is a symbol of Dubai: the highest service, availability and cleanliness! Thank you very much!
It is a little confusing to wait for the elevator during peak periods for breakfast and dinner, but we got used to it and it did not greatly affect our vacation.

A peaceful stay in a great location, though a few small service issues could be improved.
The hotel had a nice location and a beautiful view. The staff were kind and generally helpful.
A few small things in the room were missing at first, like slippers and a child’s bedding set, but they were eventually taken care of.

Not good
Location is perfect
The dinner options were quite limited, and the overall taste was disappointing. The shawarma sandwich, in particular, didn’t resemble shawarma at all — it was missing both the flavor and the authenticity. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t recommend it based on this experience. The reception staff were quite unfriendly. When I went to pay for my booking, they gave me a different (higher) rate than what I had received through the booking platform. One staff member even started raising his voice when I insisted on paying only the original price. Eventually, after making several calls, they matched the rate I had booked. On top of that, my rooms were not ready upon arrival, and I had to wait before I could check in. Overall, it was a disappointing and stressful check-in experience.

Great stay and good location
The room was great, but humidity was high, we had a room and upgrade in which we had a view on Ain Dubai, the front desk has waiting time while others are waiting to check in.
The entrance to the hotel is located close to an intersection that is always jammed with traffic. I had to leave one day earlier than what is expected and hoped that the hotel they would offer a day to replace it in the future, but they have not responded to me

Breathtaking views
Our room view was breathtaking and the space was big. We enjoyed a room bump up and the kindness of the staff. The kids enjoyed the pool.
The rooms were not very clean, the pillows were very flat.
