The Pool at Grand Hyatt Dubai

"This is a great place for those looking to keep in shape, with an extensive spa, tennis center with professional instructors, squash courts, jogging track, and sprawling outdoor and indoor pools"

"Big free-form pools sit among tropical gardens"

"Bonus points for the solar-panelled roof that cools the pools (or heats them in winter)"

"The range of facilities is vast: four pools (including a nice indoor one with underwater music), spa, jacuzzi, steam bath, sauna, kids’ club, a large gym and several good restaurants"

"The international breakfast spread the hotel puts on won’t disappoint hungry diners and service on the whole is efficient too; even more so poolside where attendants are all too happy to provide chilled face towels"

"Rooms are large and comfortable, with luxury linens and amenities; the luxury spa offers every imaginable pampering service; and there are large indoor and outdoor pools, a sprawling indoor garden, and 13 restaurants that range from an American-style steak house to an authentic Lebanese eatery"

"Facilities include a high-tech sauna, a fitness center, whirlpools tubs and steam rooms, so you'll get every chance to feel utterly pampered and refreshed"

"The elaborate Ahasees Spa offers a half-dozen treatment rooms, relaxation areas, whirlpools, cold plunge pools, saunas, steam rooms and babbling fountains"
