Dubai in December? Hotels?

[explorerdora]

We are trying to find somewhere hot and not too far away in mid-december. And Dubai looks like the only possibility - does anyone know what sort of temperature to expect (I have googled but would rather know what anyone thinks from experience). I have 2 DC's - 6 and 3 so don't want to risk too chilly to make the most of it or too hot - not that I'm fussy .

And also can anyone recommend a good hotel?

Thanks a million

last Xmas we stayed at Hilton Jumeirah Beach. A very small hotel by any other Dubai standards and maybe a bit dated now but fantasmagorical service, lovely rooms, beautiful bit of private beach etc. Went with Virgin HOlidays. Temp was a perfect 28 - 30 degrees
