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.
