General
information
There
are currently fairly widespread building works taking
place throughout Dubai especially on the sea-front
where some of the major tourist hotels are situated.
This is part of the government scheme and strategy to
ensure that this Emirate remains at the forefront of advancement
to meet the anticipated future demand of the discerning
traveller.
Of course, Dubai has developed a reputation for its bold
and innovative approach in creating architectural wonders,
and for its cutting-edge infrastructure, architecture
and design.
It recognises however, that any unavoidable disruption
requires to be kept to an absolute minimum and hotels
make every effort to ensure that guests have an enjoyable
holiday in Dubai.
These developments are not under the control of any Operator
nor are they necessarily always made aware of them in
advance.
The vast majority of beach hotels are fairly adjacent
to the building works. As you approach them, one inevitably
becomes aware of the extensive building work that is in
progress and will continue for some time.
Once you actually enter your hotel, all resort facilities
tend to be sea-facing with the result that you become
oblivious to the development works to the rear. Despite
the existence of these building works, the room occupancy
rates in Dubai are at an all time high.
