“great hotel, great location”
We stayed for 8 nights in oct 2010 at this hotel and found it to have everything we could need. It was in a brilliant location, on 'the Walk' where there are plenty of resturants to chose from, opposite the beach (only a 5 minute walk to the beach front) and with the Dubai Marina behind. The reception and staff were very nice and helpful. The rooms were spacious and very nice, with everything you need - the mini bar was expensive as always, but was handy to have the fridge to store cold drinks bought from the supermarket in the neighbouring complex. there was a lunch time BBQ on Fridays beside the pool which was good - king prawns to die for. there was also a party night on Thursday that we did not attend. The bathrooms is very spacious and grand, and we had a good view of the beach, pool and Jumeriah Palm Island in the distance, being able to see the Atlantis on a good day. The pool is average size, and has limited sunloungers - although we always got one. Also, the pool area was shaded by the skyscrappers for the first half of the day, so we would go to the beach for the morning, and return at lunch time just as the sun was coming out over the pool. There is a buffet restaurant and a tapas restuarant but we did not try them, and a cafe bar on the ground floor. The bar was nice, and did happy hour every evening 6-9pm with 2 for1 drinks (much needed at £7 a pint). concierge was very helpful , and they have a tour rep in reception that can book trips. Great all round hotel
