Middle East Romantic Holidays

Good for work travel

This hotel is beginning to show it's age, and whilst it is still very good I felt it has waned from the previous time I stayed (last year). It's still an excellent hotel - I like it because it's quiet, big, sporty and wide open. It's also on the beach so it's breezy which is great during the hot months. Sadly, the room upgrade was pointless. BUT! The team at the Italian restaurant on the rooftop are FABULOUS. Really, the service at that hotel is second-to-none. The price should be reduced to reflect the age of the hotel.

The hotel is in a good location, especially if you like Dubai Marina. However, it’s very outdated — the rooms no longer feel like they belong in a 5-star hotel. Staff are friendly and do their job well (which is common in Dubai), but don’t expect a true 5-star experience. The rooms, bathrooms, and furnishings are extremely old-fashioned and clearly need renovation. Most of the guests are low-budget family tourists, and the overall guest profile is quite low. For example, I was charged a 500 AED deposit at check-in, but the minibar in the room was completely empty. I asked why and requested it to be filled especially since I had paid a deposit but the hotel refused. Despite mentioning that I was an Expedia VIP guest, they didn’t offer any room upgrade. In fact, it felt like they gave me one of the worst rooms on purpose. I believe they assign worse rooms specifically to Expedia guests.

An average hotel, decent however after staying at the premium properties like the Jumeirah hotels does not quite make the mark, I would not be going back in a rush.

This place is SO beautiful. It looks great, smells great, and the staff were AMAZING.

It was fun. The roof top was pumping with indian music all night lights and pool. If u don't like noise maybe not for u. But the place was beautiful and nice
