Dubai - Hotel Information

[Snow1998]

Going to a Dubai next month and have booked Hyatt Regency. But upon calling them, I was categorically told that guests are not allowed in the room. Earlier I was able to get in calls by paying a 100 Dirham fee per guest. Seems it has changed. Is there any Marriott property which is green currently?

LE Meridien Fairway garhoud, have stayed here multiple times and never had any issues with visitors or paying extra. Always booked for 2. I don't know if being a Bonvoy platinum member makes a difference. I've never had any issues with visitors or paid extra at any Meridian or 4 seasons bur dubai (now closed) or the downtown one.

Hi All,

I am due in Dubai in June and a AMP girl from one of my previous visits wants to spend the day with me, at a price of course. Only thing is it cannot be in the hotel I am booked for due to other traveling companions. She is in Tecom area so I am wondering if anyone has a hotel recommendation close by. I have searched the forum and see Media Rotana was green last year and I can get a decent deal on it. Does anyone one have any info or better recommendations close by. I have also seen decent reports on the Marriot Courtyard Al Barsha so that may be an option. Any help would be appreciated as always. Cheers.

Did not stay at this place, but visited many times and was never asked for any ID at any time. There's an ATM by the elevators.

Thanks pal. I suspected it would be ok but thanks for the info.

It's Friday night and approaching midnight. The female to male ratio is around 2:1, so that's a good start. Also, the average score is approaching 7, which means if you have 1500 Dhms to splash, you'll do worse than coming to Jules. The downsides are that the place isn't exactly rocking and rolling for a Friday night. Feels more like a mid week. Business is slow and the place is halve empty. It's around 60% Asian (= Viets) with a smattering of everything else. Eastern Europeans, Stans and one or two Africans. For me, the lack of choice means that it's not a place I can be entrlhralled about. The good thing is that thers is no entrance fee, so maybe you can start here and then move on if you don't click with anyone. After my lack-lustre report of Ratsky, I'm beginning to conclude that business overall is down and we have to re-adjust our expectations. I'm going to head back to Ratsky now to see if a weekend vibe will improve upon the experience I had before. Whish me luck 🤞.

I guess for me, getting services within a spa that offers no hint of extras and seems to happen naturally would add a lot to the experience and satisfaction. But yes, I guess I would mean fully licensed. But yes, I have noticed opening times and pictures of their team on websites / social media would indicate where this happens. Maybe I'm just looking for a unicorn.

All Spas that are openly advertised, ie: signs in the lobby, outside, ground floor establishments with signage and window stickers advertising Spa / massage even almost all found as POIs on google are registered legit businesses as Spas. As to hints or otherwise of extras that's not predictable and is not Spa specific more like therapist specific. For all the questions you ask we are still waiting for a good FR! Maybe you could try out and report on which places you have managed to get the no hints natural progression to extras.

I am not sure why you want to go to a legit spa to get extras. Do you mean fully licensed (vs illegal joints ran out of apartments which are nothing less than a working girl house) or a house whose business model is really providing massage and only massage (one of these chains is Mary spa)? Nowadays most spas in Dubai including in hotels offer extras. Also if the spa opens late and offers pictures that is a very good hint. Legit spas in the sense that they are offering only massage usually neither share pics of their staff nor let you choose from a line up.

Good luck.

This my second time to visit Dubai and It will be on 4th May, first time was on 2017 I stayed on Crown Plaza Deira it was green till now (I have checked with them) you just have to register your guest I've red the form there are many good options but I'm thinking of LE Meridien Airport specially it has Jules as a pickup point.

Should I book at LE Royal Club Building or just the regular rooms on main building? Any differences?

Is Crown Plaza Deira still a good option?

[Aimara]

Was the Hyatt Regency Red, Amber, Green or Blue?

Hello Aimara, what exactly do you mean with blue? Go or no go? I did book there and would be really disappointed if they didn't allow visitors to the rooms.

I did RTFF but I know only of Green, Yellow and Red. If one of the senior members could explain blue, I'd much appreciate it.

Many thanks!

(cross posting here from the AMP thread, hope this is OK. If not, apologies).
Will be going to Dubai soon, but still in the process of booking a hotel. Just a question, has anyone had any experience at the Sofitel Downtown Spa that they could share (did search but couldn't find much! Also, are there any other "legit" spas within (preferably 5-star) hotels close to Dubai Mall that will offer extras? Doesn't have to be FS, but HJ, BB or BJ would be good. Girls with any background would be fine, although would probably prefer EE or Asian. Can provide hints for places and I'll do the research.
Also, pretty new to the scene, so also tried to find out about how to show you're open to extras in the above type of spas. Mainly it seems like no shorts / tearing the shorts (in the right areas? But other than that?

As usual for the hotel, you can give them a call and ask about their policy. I am not sure why you want to go to a legit spa to get extras. Do you mean fully licensed (vs illegal joints ran out of apartments which are nothing less than a working girl house) or a house whose business model is really providing massage and only massage (one of these chains is Mary spa)? Nowadays most spas in Dubai including in hotels offer extras. Also if the spa opens late and offers pictures that is a very good hint. Legit spas in the sense that they are offering only massage usually neither share pics of their staff nor let you choose from a line up. Otherwise the best way to show your interest is to be flirty (not too pushy though) and chat about life and compliment her. Body language can also be included, meaning that you can adopt a position where she has more access.

Good luck.

Hi looking for green decent hotel in marina area. Any wg friendly areas in nmarina.

I stayed at Wyndham all green many russians here that work in other areas of dxbas I found out but non avail on site.

The Sofitel Downtown on SZR is very green, but need to be discreet. A very family oriented hotel. Around 10 pm saw several girls go up. The game seems to be for the girl to walk in an go to the consistency table on the right. The guy there does the needful with passport etc. And then he escorts the girl to the lift and presses the right floor. Had no issues with the girl last night. I had booked for two. And the hotel is a short walk to the Dubai Mall. Lots of scenery and things to do.
