With some interesting options for leisure and business activities on offer, Golden Tulip Al Jazira Hotel & Resort is connected to the Arabian Gulf and to the beach resort by a channel. The many features of the hotel personify a lively ambience in modern rooms where each opens onto a balcony furnished with a table and chairs. Category-wise, there are many to select from 80 standard rooms along with four units of one-bedroom suites and 30 beachfront chalets. Out of the standard rooms, 40 of them are equipped with king-size beds whilst another 40 are twin-bedded to cater to various market needs. In the chalets, there are 10 units of two-bedroom chalets, nine units of three-bedroom chalets and 10 units of fourbedroom chalets.
Rifat Sabet, General Manager, Golden Tulip Al Jazira Hotel & Resort shared, “Our guests can enjoy recreational facilities including the swimming pool, gym and cycling as well as have great choices of dining options including an international restaurant and poolside snack bar. The Bounty Bar and Vintage Bar serves cold drinks which one can enjoy while watching a sports game on a flat screen TV. Guests travelling by car can enjoy the resort’s free private parking.”
The hotel has also attracted many corporates, informed Sabet, opting to reserve the property for their team building activities or outings with friends and family. “There are four meeting rooms which can accommodate from eight persons up to 120 persons and one outdoor garden area that can accommodate up to 1,500 guests. So, we have been enjoying a mix of business both from leisure clientele as well as private and public sector companies over the past year,” said Sabet.
Guests who frequent the property have identified certain travel agents and tour operators that are able to provide them good deals. In terms of excursions, guests are at liberty to select the travel agent or tour operator or DMC of his/her choice.
Sabet added, “We currently look to increase our market segment for corporate accounts, airlines, Asian and Western group bookings and millennial business travellers in the UAE for 2019 and 2020. About 30 per cent of our business mix is contributed by travel agencies and tour operators and we usually grant them the best discounted rate with certain incentives.”
