Depends why you are going there and what you want to do. If you want access to a beach with all the facilities then the Habtoor Grand Resort & Spa at Jumeirah beach is OK. There are 4 or 5 hotels along the beach there but you must be aware of all the construction work going on in the area so if you go there insist on a sea-view room when you book. It really depende what you want and why you are going there. Be more specific and I can give you more advice.
