Of the budget hotels in Dubai, the Signature Hotel Apartments & Spa Marina is the coolest we've been to. At the exit from the hotel, there is an alley along which we always walked.
In TPG we bought a tour in the UAE. We considered a ticket only to hotels with good food and a beach. The manager Oksana worked with us. Very attentive and most importantly adequate manager. She showed me many options and gave us the ones that worked for us. She did all the paperwork quickly. Our vacation went perfectly, there were no problems and for me this is an indicator of the professionalism of the travel agency.
