Which beachfront hotel is best to stay at in Dubai?
Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 5 days ago
TL;DR
Travelers recommend beachfront hotels with their own private grounds — Address, InterContinental, Le Meridien, and Dusit near Sarai — while warning about the Sarai/Bahi area where the promenade is unfinished and crowded with laborers.
What the community said
Le Meridien gets praised for consistent quality: one traveler has been staying there since 2018, the beach loungers are the same, but it's pricier due to the higher hotel category and better lifeguard service.

The Address hotel is a repeatedly recommended option — one guest stayed there 4 times, praising the food, open beachfront, entertainment options, and no issues finding spots by the pool or on the beach.

Last year the same traveler tried InterContinental and plans to return to Address — both are noted as solid choices for a beach vacation.

The Sarai and Bahi area is not recommended for a stay: the promenade there is unfinished, and many migrant laborers live right on the street around it — uncomfortable for a family vacation. Better to pick a hotel with its own enclosed grounds.

Near Sarai, travelers liked the Dusit hotel as a more comfortable alternative in that area.
