FIVE LUXE

Jumeirah Beach Residence, 27.6 km from Academic City

"The staff at the hotel are amazing. They go above and beyond what is required of them. The hotel is so clean and well maintained and the gym is amazing. My only moan about five lux is the fact you gave up pay 1000 dir to sit the closest the pool. You do get to have this back on booze and food but for someone who doesn’t drink it’s a waste of time. I really feel this should be looked at for returning guests like myself. It’s expensive and unfair."
