Also, what is success rate for Gold being upgraded? Previously we stayed at the Dubai Creek and on both occasions were upgraded and given full breakfast in the restaurant, although I was Diamond at the time. That was 8 years ago and as we now have a 5 year old we felt the Jumeriah was a better choice than the Creek.
Having visited the Jumeriah when staying at the Creek we were aware that there was a kids club but there is no mention of this on the hotels webpage.
We stayed there in April this year. As the hotel was extremely busy, we were not upgraded even as diamond. We were given Lounge access. The adjacent development is called "The Beach" and to avoid facing it, you need to ask for a room with a pool view. We were disappointed with this return visit as we found this time that the beach and pool seemed to be overcrowded and we put it down to the fact that all the guests in the recently opened Hilton Residences were able to use the hotel facilities. People were even booking sunbeds by the pool with their towels very early before breakfast and the pool attendants didn't seem bothered. Thought that only happened in Spain!!
