In a few words, don’t choose Five if you’re looking for the ultimate 5 stars Dubai experience. The staff at reception is not welcoming, almost refused to let me access the beach because I checked in before the arrival time. If you choose the superior room, you will be looking - and hearing - at the road and constructions sites, and in between the buildings, you will see a bit of the beach. And if you decide to call reception to ask if there is any other room available because yours is noisy, they will gently offer you to pay an extra 75€ per night (without breakfast) to access a room on the other side. Rooms are comfortable but they don’t match 5-stars hotels standards. Pool is great but was closed because of Covid-19. Last but not least, my dear room neighbors decided to have an after party on their balcony from 4 to 7 am: I had to call room service to speak to an hotel staff as all other lines were disconnected. Security came only at 6am after calling 5 times.
