Not the first time we went to rest in Dubai and this hotel was chosen a long time ago and upon arrival it did not disappoint us. The hotel is located in the most modern area, near the metro, a couple of small supermarkets and a shopping center (10 min. walk), there is also a beautiful promenade nearby, where you can always take a walk and if you want to take a walk on a yacht, go to the beach 15 min. on foot, in the morning at 9-30 a bus from the hotel goes to the beach, but back at 16-00, which is not very convenient, especially when it's hot. Upon arrival, we were first given a room on the 3rd floor, but it did not suit us, since the windows overlooked the roof and there were air conditioners and they worked noisily. We were changed at the reception without any problems and we got to the 10th floor. From the window there was a view of the road and the pool and the embankment, there were also construction sites, but they do not interfere in any way. The rooms are good, everything is there - kitchen and washing machine, microwave. kettle, stove, crockery. So if you want to cook food, then no problem, especially if you eat with small children. Buy products without problems in supermarkets, prices are approximately the same as ours, everything is the same as in our stores. I traveled with my adult son and didn’t cook, we could buy grilled chicken in the evening and calmly warm it up in the microwave during the day and dine in the room. You can also buy ready-made salads or other prepared food, chopped fruit. We took only breakfast at the hotel, it is quite normal, at home you are unlikely to eat so much, you will not be hungry. In the evening we ate in the city, it’s cheaper to eat in shopping centers, there are a lot of cafes, and in the afternoon after the beach and the pool, we didn’t want to go anywhere right away and we dined in the room, whoever wants, you can at the hotel restaurant, there is a pizzeria next to the hotel. Every day we moved around the city by metro, which is not very expensive, you will get to almost any part of the city. If you plan to visit different stops in a day, then buy a ticket for the whole day and ride as much as you want, it will cost 16 dirhams for one, if you eat, for example, to the Dubai Mall and back, then immediately take a ticket there and brotherly, if you then take a return ticket , then a little more expensive, somewhere by 2 dirhams. (1 dollar - 3.6 dirh. ) On our previous trip, we lived near the beach and there was no metro nearby, we constantly traveled by taxi, so there is something to compare with, the metro is much cheaper and in some cases faster, taxi drivers can specially take you a longer road and if get into a traffic jam, then the meter will still tick))) We went to the beach literally for a couple of hours, it’s hard to endure more, summer, it’s very hot and the water is somewhere around 40 degrees, but it’s all 50 on the street. Water does not cool, but rather relaxes , but very clean and transparent, but I would like it to be cooler, we knew what weather we were eating in, so we were ready. The last time was the same in the summer. Please bring your own umbrella with you. After the beach, we cooled off in the hotel pool, it is cool and there were always places on sun loungers. Although there was construction near the pool, but it does not interfere. Souvenirs I can advise you to buy in the supermarket Mall of Emirates, (it's like our Auchan) the prices for souvenirs and magnets there are much cheaper than in souvenir shops in shopping centers, you can also in shops near the gold market (metro station-Palm Deira). You can get to Nasser Square by reaching Baniyas Square station. You can visit the Ibn Battuta Mall - three metro stops from Dubai Marina (stop near the hotel) It's pretty there and prices can be a little cheaper than in central bargaining. centers. We are satisfied with the hotel, would come here again. I can advise everyone.
