Your staff are credit to your hotel amazing service all round. Special mention for Nory and Vinny in the dining room and Elton in the Republic. Brilliant having buggies to transport you around the three hotels, and your free shuttle to service to the Malls a real bonus.

I loved my time in JA Lake View in 2023 so much we came back again for 2024, first time I've ever gone back to the same place. So much to do with young kids (mine were 1/3 and then 2/4 respectively) - a water park area, a big, lovely beach, plenty of swimming pools to choose from, a kids club, mini golf area, an aviary, horse-riding, raquet… Read more
I loved my time in JA Lake View in 2023 so much we came back again for 2024, first time I've ever gone back to the same place. So much to do with young kids (mine were 1/3 and then 2/4 respectively) - a water park area, a big, lovely beach, plenty of swimming pools to choose from, a kids club, mini golf area, an aviary, horse-riding, raquet sports areas, a variety of bars / restaurants, and for the adults there's shooting, golf (and I loved the Golf! ), driving, water sports and more. Seriously, I'm not someone who tends to enjoy staying at a resort but it genuinely had everything I needed to only need to leave one day mid-week (and had a complimentary shuttle to the Dubai Mall). The rooms are great, service is excellent, the restaurant choices are amazing even if the buffet is not quite 5-star, and the little shuttle buggies are awesome to get around the resort. It's important to note there are three hotels, the Lake View, which is in the "calmer" side of the resort, the Beach Hotel, and the Palm Tree Court. We loved Lake View, it was very well priced and takes a short 5 minutes or so to be buggied to the Beach side. 2023 I'd give it 5 stars, 2024 however... There's a new racing track opposite Lake View and it's SUCH a shame but it completely ruins the hotel for me. Screeching cars all throughout the day, it's obnoxious and completely ruins any sense of chill or serenity. I found myself hating being in the Lake View side and spending all my time on the Beach Hotel side. Inside the rooms it was fine, but opening the balcony, chilling poolside, or dining outside was just embarassing. I feel really bad for the hotel, and hope that something can be done about that! And anecdotally, it felt like on our second stay, the buggies were far less frequent than the year before. That might just be unlucky timing on our side, but we were definitely waiting around more than we remembered to get from one side of the hotel to the other. So for me the resort is still incredible, but I recommend staying at the Beach Hotel or Palm Tree Court, which I imagine would be firm 5 stars (and also means you don't need to bother with the buggies). But Lake View...harder to recommend. If I do come back to JA Resort, it will 100% be for the other two. Read less
