Fodor's Expert Review Jumeirah Creekside Hotel

Many of the airport hotels are good value, but Jumeirah is definitely one of the best as most packages here include both access to Wild Wadi water park and the beach at Jumeirah's glamorous Zabeel Saray resort on The Palm. Rooms are designed with contemporary and clean lines, with open plan bathrooms, cool stone floors, and plenty of space (premier rooms sleep four). Although the room size and water park access makes it a good family choice, there is also a rooftop 21-and-over bar to escape to, complete with a glass-sided lap pool. The hotel is directly across the street from Dubai Creek Golf Club, just a five-minute taxi ride to the souks and traditional areas of Old Dubai, and 20 minutes to Downtown Burj Khalifa.
