Top hotels in Bur Dubai
Grand Hyatt Dubai
Rude staff at pool side and waterpark. 3 people questioned if my newborn was wearing a swim nappy, then went on to ask why it looks swollen. Poor communication. Poor customer service. Manager did nothing to resolve apart from say sorry. We left early

Hyatt Regency Dubai Creek Heights
Clean room, courteous staff. However, drastic cut down on amenities (no dental kit, no bathrobe, no additional towels). This is unprecedented and surprising for Hyatt.
