A little apprehensive on our arrival as our last visit was marred by an unfortunate water leak we quickly realised there was nothing to be concerned about as we experienced Jumeriah Zabeel Saray in all of its Ottoman inspired glory!

From manager Harshal who booked us into a palatial suite to 'Amal' who was not only attentive, courteous but always professional (the true gem of the hotel) - the staff at ZS are what an exemplary team in hospitality looks like. With an in-room sauna, gargantuan bathtubs and deckchairs out in the balcony, it was extraordinary to see the faultless efforts of the hardworking cleaning team whose attention to detail did not go unnoticed.

Breakfast at the hotel was visually stunning with glass chandeliers and luxurious modern decor and the selection encompassed everything for the Asian palate to the necessities for thr Western traveller. Appreciation goes to the staff who delivered prompt and thorough services throughout the week. Only suggestion, maybe create a 'smaller' duplicate version of the juice bar at the other end of the hall as it become exhaustive having first thing in the morning, especially if you are seated near the back?!

Taking advantage of the Jumeriah Flavours, we as a group were delightfully immersed into a selection of award-winning restaurants across Dubai for dinner and filly experienced the Emirati take on international cuisine.

Zabeel Saray is a pleasantly serene hotel where guests are not having to condone noisy and bad behaviour which is one of the main reasons we always love coming back.. as well as the private cinema, magically dramatic spa and private beach which is just 11 steps away from the Club Lounge (we counted)!

Here is to another stay, very soon.
