We had an absolutely amazing stay at Address Beach Resort. The room was immaculately clean—honestly one of the cleanest hotels we’ve ever stayed at. The entire hotel was spotless from top to bottom, and housekeeping did an exceptional job every single day. Our room was cleaned thoroughly and meticulously daily, with so much attention to detail. What truly made our stay extra special was how thoughtful the staff was with our kids—they left little gifts and surprises for them every day, which completely made their trip and ours. It was such a sweet and memorable touch. The cleanliness, care, and level of service were outstanding. You can truly tell this hotel takes pride in maintaining the highest standards. We felt comfortable, welcomed, and taken care of the entire stay. We can’t wait to come back and would highly recommend this resort to families and anyone looking for a luxury, stress-free stay in Dubai.

I would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to have wonderful experiences in dubai. The staff are welcoming and super helpful at all times . everything is spotless and clean. So many options to choose from for breakfast and club access you have access to buffet for lunch/after noon tea and dinner. The view is something else out of movies specially if you got burj khalifa and fountain view. I would never bother looking around for hotel in dubai I go straight to here!!

We had a 2 bedroom Suite. The living room and kitchen were big. But the rooms and toilets were small. It also takes a while to wait for the elevators.

The cleanliness of this hotel is excellent, terrific and knowledgeable staff, and nice size rooms. The in-house breakfast at Sofia's is an excellent value. My only issue is that it is on the fringe of Business Bay, which makes it a bit far from the Dubai Mall and even the metro stop. We love to walk ...
