“I have visited Dubai many times on business and decided to take my wife and son on my last visit in April. Having never stayed at the Al Qasr before i had to rely on reviews and the recommendation of my travel agent. We were not disappointed – beautiful comfortable room, good food, great pool and beach, and excellent friendly staff. This became more like a holiday than a business trip as we had a marvellous time at Wild Wadi waterpark etc and i was able to spend quality time with my family, in a quality location.
We have decided to return again for just a family break, no business next time, and have found plenty of cheap holidays to the Al Qasr online so there is nothing stopping us.”

“We were only here for 3 days, just wish it could have been longer.
The hotel itself was very luxurious with extremely helpful staff. Our room was large and spotless, with everything we needed, including internet access and a printer!
The pools, complete with climbing frames and slides looked great, as did the spa and gym but sadly we didn’t have time to use any of them as we had a lot to cram in on our 3 days!!!
Next time we will spend longer here and enjoy all that the Grand Hyatt has to offer, and there will definitely be a next time.”
