 Regent Beach Resort, Dubai
(from their website) by JessH, 1 more photos
There are only 2 (two) hotels in the city centre that actually have a beach: one is Dubai Marine (5-star, see separate hotel tip) and the other is the Regent Beach Resort (3-star). I haven't stayed at this hotel, but I've visited their restaurants a few times & have friends that have stayed there.
The hotel is "nothing special" but it is clean & comfortable and the main selling point is its LOCATION: right by the beach (public beach, not privately owned by the hotel) on Jumeirah Beach Road opposite the Jumeirah Mosque, within walking distance to numerous shops & cafes, and only a short taxi-ride away from the Creek & traditional souks (markets).
Prices (80 rooms) are very reasonable for Dubai-standards, depending on the season of course. Single rooms start at 200 US$, Double rooms start at around 300 US$. This increases during large exhibitions (i.e. Gitex in November), so it's best to contact them directly and ask for their rates. The hotel also has its own small but sufficient health club, as well as a medium-sized outdoor swimming pool.
TIP: It's advisable to spend a little extra and request a large room, as the regular single rooms are tiny & rather cramped.
Their Arabic restaurant is called "Ali Baba" and serves some lovely traditional cuisine. I especially like visiting in the cooler winter months and enjoy dining "al-fresco" with a nice bubbling sheesha (water pipe) by my side... (NOTE: this hotel is NOT licensed, i.e. no alcohol is served on their premises.)
This is the ONLY reasonable beach hotel located close to the city centre, so if you don't want to waste time being stuck in Dubai's traffic I recommend booking here!

 I know you can't see that much

The Regent Beach resort belongs to the Ramee Group, an indian chain of hotels. Staff was friendly, especially at the reception where we got a free upgrade for our room. The room was really nice with comfortable beds, a nice, clean bathroom , TV and a balcony. Perhaps the shower curtain, which needed to be replaced, was the only thing to complain about in this room. Outside, I just didn’tlike to cross two restaurants (the lybian-arab one and the shisha bar) just to get to the building where the room was situated. You see, the things I’m complaining about are nothing, but the positive aspects are more than enough to recommend a stay at this place. If you want to add some swimming in ther persian gulf to your Dubai vacation and give your hotel stay an indian touch, that’s the place I would chose.
