An unforgettable holiday experience – everything was thoughtfully planned and executed to perfection. The entire team was fantastic, always going above and beyond to make our stay special. Housekeeping was exceptional – thank you, Niranjon! The beautiful bed designs each day were a lovely touch that brought a smile to our faces.

We have just returned from a week at JA Beach having visited 5 years ago we couldn’t wait to return. When we arrived we were slightly underwhelmed by the hotel. The room was much smaller than our last visit although perfectly adequate with plenty of drawers and hanging space. The bathroom was very good with an excellent power shower. The balcony was very small. It felt like the hotel was in need of a good update it was a bit tatty in parts. We visited the buffet restaurant each morning, if you arrived before 8:15am it’s lovely and quiet. There is always plenty of choice with an egg station for your choice of how you liked your eggs cooking. Apparently, at the weekend the hotel offers discounted stays for locals and that’s when the buffet restaurant became very, very busy . Each day we spent our time around the pool with a swim up bar. This pool wasn’t always busy until the weekend when the locals arrived then it was awful the lifeguard certainly has to be on his guard! On the Sunday they ordered in MacDonalds and had a picnic around the pool, leaving all their rubbish and half eaten food scattered around the pool for the birds to enjoy, it was disgusting to say the least! Another thing we found strange were all the restrictions…. You can’t use this pool or that outdoor bar you’re staying at JA Beach which was ridiculous when the pool was empty and the bar never used! Also the restrictions of the AI plus package varied from bar to bar. We had lunch at Captains restaurant on the beach, the food was ok but not amazing! We visited the Italian and Republik restaurants which were amazing we couldn’t fault either of them. There’s a lovely bar on the 7th floor at JA Beach which was almost empty each visit we made and the cocktails were amazing there and included in the AI package. Republik restaurant is at Lake View and the hotel certainly has the wow factor. You really feel like you’re visiting an impressive hotel in Dubia! Also Republik have a bar and outdoor area for you to enjoy their excellent cocktails in the evening. Note…. The roof top outdoor bar is only open March to Oct they said it’s too hot the other months. All in all it was a lovely holiday, thank goodness for Republik and Italian restaurants and the bar and outdoor seating at Republik. Read less
