TRAVELLERS around the world voted two properties in the JA Resorts & Hotels collection as the ‘Top Hotels for Families’ in the UAE.
The 2015 TripAdvisor Traveller’s Choice Awards, which reveals the best hotels as selected by thousands of travellers, also included three JA properties in its categories for luxury, service and romance. JA Oasis Beach Tower, the company’s luxury serviced hotel apartment tower in Dubai on The Walk at JBR, not only claimed the number one position in the UAE, but was also voted Top Hotel for Families in the Middle East. Hot on its deserving heels was JA Palm Tree Court, the deluxe beachfront hotel at JA Jebel Ali Golf Resort, which was awarded the number two spot in the category ‘Top 25 Hotels for Families in the UAE’. It also achieved the number four spot in the Middle East. Both properties have a loyal following and are renowned choices for family holidays in Dubai. JA Oasis Beach Tower offers two-, three- and four-bedroom serviced hotel apartments with fully equipped kitchens, en-suite bathrooms and associated hotel services in the city’s vibrant JBR district on Jumeirah beach. Convenient occupancy is also a unique selling point at JA Palm Tree Court, where all of the suites and junior suites can accommodate at least two adults and two children under 16 years. Access to three children’s clubs, several sports facilities, leisure activities and a private beach are added advantages. In a testament to its well-rounded offering, both properties were also named among the ‘Top 25 Hotels for Luxury in the UAE’ (10th and 11th spots) and ‘Top 25 Hotels for Service in the UAE’ (12th and 14th spots). This resulted in an overall aggregate that meant both properties are among the Top 12 Hotels in the UAE. JA Ocean View Hotel, another JA property on The Walk at JBR which is only two years old, was included in the list of ‘Top 20 Hotels for Romance in the UAE’. With its sea view rooms, private balconies, beautiful infinity pool deck and atmospheric restaurants in a vibrant location just a short walk to Jumeirah beach, it is a favourite among couples. “These are fantastic achievements that speak volumes about the dedicated efforts of our teams in each property,” said David Thomson, COO of JA Resorts & Hotels. “Though we’ve been fortunate to win numerous awards over the years, the TripAdvisor Traveller’s Choice Awards are a true reflection of the special experiences our guests enjoy, as they are given purely on the basis of direct feedback from guests.”
