We stayed at the hotel in June 2024. The hotel does not meet the stated 5 stars. Tired rooms in need of renovation (smudges on the walls, stains on the carpets, running faucet, furniture and curtains need dry cleaning). The photos of the rooms on the website and in the travel agency do not correspond to reality. They were moved into smoking rooms without warning, with a terrible hood. The number was changed 3 times. 10 meters in front of the main entrance there is a large construction site, the courtyard of the hotel (where the pool is) overlooks the neighboring house where visitors live, dry their clothes and look at tourists. The contingent of vacationers at the hotel is simple, there are many representatives from the CIS countries. If in doubt, then you should not choose this hotel, even despite the good recommendation of the travel agency manager. Among the advantages of the hotel, I would like to note the excellent work of the chief manager, who really helped in solving the problem, good hearty delicious breakfasts, thank you for the excellent work of the cook and staff at the breakfast restaurant (including Russian speakers).

An amazing hotel, I recommend it 100 percent
This is not the first time in Dubai and this is the best hotel both in terms of location and food! The rooms are good, cleaned every day, the room has everything you need
The food (we had breakfast and dinner) is beyond praise, nothing superfluous, there are no mountains of food, but everything is very tasty and varied.
Beach. It takes 5-7 minutes to walk to the beach, but you are walking along a beautiful road, enjoying the views! There is everything you need on the beach and cafes and shops

Wonderful location, good breakfast. Polite staff, communication in Russian is possible. At the same time, it is worth noting some "deterioration" of the situation. It is better to choose accommodation on the upper floors, as there is a construction site nearby. It's fine for a week's rest.

The hotel is wildly cold at a temperature of 45 C outside, as if they do not know how to adjust the air conditioner.
The most unpleasant thing is that there is an announcement in Russian in the dining room and only that, like, you don't need to type a lot of food, take only what you eat, I looked like that for a week, every day other nationalities eat very well, for two 5 plates each, take pictures and that's it they don't eat them, but no one follows them and writes in their language that they shouldn't do that.this is exactly the principle of the bad attitude towards Russians, we were given a double room with an extra bed for three, but it looks like Lenin bought this extra bed, all the springs on my back were and this is a 5-star hotel, despite the fact that actually I paid for a full tour for three, not two and a half,we quarreled with them for a day, then we changed the room, their manager ran to the room like, what does madame not suit you, sleep on such a bed yourself, while paying for a 5-star all-inclusive hotel, complete disappointment, I do not advise you to go to this hotel

The hotel positions itself as a 5th check-in, in fact 3-4 stars. Check-in according to the principle of the hotel strictly at 15.00 there are constant queues at the Reception of those checking in and checking out. The pool is located between the buildings, which makes it difficult for the sun's rays to get on your body when you sunbathe. There are various breakfasts and lunches and 5 points for them. The hotel is located in the center of the Marina, but there is a construction site around that spoils the whole view. The beach can be reached on foot or by bus from the hotel. One part of the beach is paid where a chaise longue for an hour costs $ 150 and the other part of the beach is public - and very crowded

The room is cleaned every day. The hotel is clean and tidy. The room has air conditioning. A window opens.

Convenient location, near the metro, 10 minutes walk to the beach. The shuttles before him are not very clear how they go, however, the schedule is a little confusing. Delicious varied breakfasts. The rooms are excellent, not brand new of course, but quite on the level. Cleaning, service at a height. By the pool, however, it is not always immediately possible to find a sunbed, but the staff immediately inform when it is released. We made a free upgrade to the suite after the fire sensor went off in our room. I highly recommend it, I will stop again.

Dear, beloved compatriots! Please do not choose this hotel! We paid 200,000 just for a 7-night stay for two and were extremely disappointed ((If you are not blind, not deaf and do not want to visit the Ghetto, you definitely are not here. On the one hand there is a huge highway, on the other there is a construction site, on the third there is a mosque! The windows are not of high quality, there is no sound insulation at all. The carpets in the hotel lobby are very dirty, the furniture is worn out, the walls are dirty, the pool is small, there are not enough sunbeds. The food is disgusting, cold. The restaurant has the atmosphere of a Soviet dining room with an outdated interior, tables without tablecloths and overseers standing over you! The only advantage of the hotel is a comfortable bed with luxury bedding, which changes every day and the distance by bus to the beach is 5 minutes. That's IT! There are not enough advantages for this money(((

We stayed at the hotel with my wife and son for 10 months, in December 2023
I really liked it
Nice room, clean and most importantly - a super view of the Marina
Take it with a surcharge, in other directions the noisy construction site of the hotel is nearby
The food is amazingly varied, a lot of things are cooked at breakfast with you, dinner is not repeated in any dish for a week
The children's pool is wonderful, with palm trees
Very cool hotel, beach 15 minutes, Marina 5 minutes, metro 5 minutes

Great hotel! Everything is very clean and the staff is polite. The only thing I didn't like was the Russian-speaking girl at the reception (she just smiles, but she can't really explain (she doesn't want to).
The chef in the restaurant is excellent, he cooks delicious and beautifully.

A very good hotel, but far from the beach, but this disadvantage is compensated , there is delivery. There are paid umbrellas and sun beds on the beach, which is expensive. The food at the hotel is excellent!!!

We rested for breakfast and dinner for a week. I liked everything. The food is delicious and varied. There are no complaints about cleaning and filling the room. The staff was responsive, and any issues were resolved quickly. Check-in was early, checked in as soon as the room was prepared, did not wait until 14.00. The location is excellent, to the beach, to the metro, to the mall 7-10 min. There are many supermarkets around.

A very nice hotel. Convenient location (on the Marina). It is only 10 minutes walk to the sea through a beautiful view from the bridge to the canal.
The staff is polite. We stop for the second time. There are Russian-speaking colleagues at the reception and in the restaurant.
The breakfasts are good, you can find what you like. A week later, a variety of breakfasts are not so diverse)

I'm here now. The first thing I want to do is express my gratitude to the chefs!!!! Everything is fantastically delicious. For every taste and weight and age. I watched a picture of a narrow-minded mother who locked the child in a 5-star hotel (the hotel is not really for children, by the way) and forced the cook to cook her child pasta. Separately. Although there is always pasta there. Porridges, soups, salads, and what desserts!!!!!! Everything is bombically delicious. Second. Separately, thank you to all the staff very much!!!! Everything is clean and perfect. Girls and boys will always help and prompt at the reception. Just a super hotel!!!! But.. There is one for me but. I thought 10 minutes to the sea was nonsense. And it really is, especially since there is a bus every hour to the beach. But.... 10 minutes in July is a lot. Every second is important during this period. Because it's very, very hot. And yes, the air here is not dry, as they say in travel agencies. It's not that wet, it's wet!!!!! The heat is hard to bear. And I wish the hotel prosperity and grateful guests!!!! I sooo liked everything.

We rested at the hotel for the New Year holidays, the good location of the hotel. The room cleaning is excellent, the room is a little outdated, but in general nothing, because we spent little time in it. The sound insulation of the room is disgusting, there is a construction site in front of the hotel and from 8 a.m. to night you can hear everything that is being done there. Breakfast for 4, the choice is not great. The staff is welcoming. The pool is warm. In the lobby of the hotel there is a cloying smell of flavoring, which makes your head hurt terribly, also in the restaurant. The New Year's banquet was at the highest level. In general, everything is not bad, we rested for the first time in it.

The hotel is ordinary, but.. There is a construction site in front!
A generator with a concrete mixer is brought at night, and it doesn't matter if your windows are open or closed!
The rooms are normal, there are no balconies.
The linen in the room does not dry in any way.
The tile floors in the room are icy, the air conditioners in the corridors blow like in winter in the Arctic!
In the evening, at dinner, a tea bag with boiling water is paid, not respectable for a 5-star hotel.
The food is fine, the cleaning is good.

Old hotel, clean room, wonderful Russian-speaking staff, good location.
The hotel is clearly "tired", the furniture is too old, the bathroom is spacious, but the door to the shower did not close completely, it was not very comfortable. Cosmetics in the room are very simple, no frills. High-quality and daily cleaning.
At breakfast, the choice looks great, but there is a lot of tasteless food. We took an omelet, potato nuggets. Vegetables and fruits are grass. 4 days is ok, but it would be more annoying.
At the reception we were settled by a Russian-speaking girl earlier than expected, it was very nice. Especially when 5 minutes before talking to her, another (who did not speak Russian) offered to pay us 2000 dirhams for early check-in.
The location is convenient, 15 min walk to the beach, 10 min to the metro.
Next time we'll take a newer hotel.

We were here for 10 days, there was little food for breakfast, the staff was strict by the pool and two yelled at the boy with autism because he didn't splash a lot, they kicked him out of the pool even in the lobby you can't lie down on the sofas right away and make a remark there is a coffee machine in the rooms but it is broken and leaking the light switch is broken and so I liked everything

I am still on vacation at this hotel. The hotel met my expectations, it is great for everyone!
The food surprises every day with its variety and uniqueness, the location is excellent and the metro and the sea are all within walking distance.
The staff is polite, everything is clean and smells nice. The pool is spacious, but we prefer to go to the sea. I advise you not to regret it.

Your expectations are your problems.
First of all, my review is worth reading to those who are traveling to Dubai for the first time, especially to the area of Palma, JBR and Marina as a whole. I heard a lot of negativity from the hotel guests, let's figure it out, because the hotel is really not bad, but there are nuances.
What was I doing in this hotel? I had 3 final days of my long trip to different countries of the Middle East, the very rest after the rest, in the UAE I have already managed to visit different hotels, almost in all emirates, so there is a lot of watching.
When evaluating a hotel, I think it is always necessary to understand where it is located and how much it costs. Here you can conditionally find 4-5 stars on the first line all inclusive, but somewhere on the corner of Ajman almost in the desert, and it takes time and money to get to Dubai, although they often carry transfers for free. And you can see beautiful pictures of the Marina and come to 5 stars for breakfast for the same money to this hotel, and be surprised at the quality of service, prices around, crowds of locals on the common beach, and finally conclude about Dubai that it is so incomprehensible.
My dialogue with one of the guests is rather an insult on his part: I arrived at 5 stars in Dubai and stand in line for breakfast, it's a long walk to the sea, around the city, I expected that 5 stars in Dubai is a completely different level! I say, but you chose the cheapest five in the Marina, you either need to multiply the price tag by 2, or go to Sharjah or Ajman, where you will be happy for the same money. What do you think was the answer? Well, I want to go to the Marina, it's here to look at skyscrapers and all that.
And the flow of guests who came on tours with a flight was large, many are going for the first time, and expect something beyond. My opinion is simple, you can combine a beach holiday and a tour of Dubai while living in the Marina only in a hotel on the 1st line, or with walking around beach clubs, despite their cost, but in any case it will not be 180-200 tr with a flight for 2 people.
If you decide to go to Dubai for the first time, just decide clearly why you are here, a beach holiday for reasonable money is Ajman and Sharjah. Marina and Palma are a completely different price level. Here is my example a few years ago, 4 stars in Sharjah for all inclusive for 4 days 35 tr, and 5 stars on 1 JBR line 68 tr for breakfast/dinner.
And now briefly about the hotel itself, after a long introduction.
Rooms and views:
The hotel is a high-rise of about 40 floors, we had a room with a view of the Marina, and the room and the view and the cleaning were excellent. There are rooms with a worse view, but I kind of paid a little more for the view.
Breakfast dinner: Yes, sometimes there were queues at breakfast to enter during peak hours, but this is normal, not very critical. The food itself is kind of normal, well, that is, it's still a top five in Dubai in the Marina, but there are enough gaps, it's just good. But their most important gap is dinner without tea and coffee, that is, for a fee, well, seriously, for them it's a penny, and in my opinion there is much more negativity, provided that there are significantly fewer people at dinner, and everything is fine with drinks at breakfast.
The pool and sun beds: a small area, but still there were always places, they will fall down after breakfast, it is unclear how to spend the whole day there.
Location: Convenient for a mixed format, the metro is close, the supermarket is close, the beach is well more or less close. Such a half-hearted solution in general.
The verdict. If you go understanding the format of the hotel, with some clear goals, then the hotel is generally not bad, it is for this place for this money. If there is an opportunity to buy something better, but more expensive, I would choose something else, if you are looking for a beach holiday - forget about the Marina for a reasonable price, and most importantly, I am deeply convinced that if you do not need parties in beach clubs, then just 1 day in the Marina with boat rides with dinner in the evening you will more than enough for the impressions of the first trip.
And if you are not afraid of 400-500 rubles per week for two, then I am sure you can find many options in these surroundings. The main question of the format is what you want to get from a vacation in Dubai, so that there would not be a strong gap between expectation and reality.

Nice hotel. Polite, courteous staff. There are Russian speakers. adapters to sockets are given out, do not buy! They feed you like they're going to cut you tomorrow :D Swimming pool, hookah by the pool in the evening. There is alcohol in the bar.
But two disadvantages for those who like to dig in, for me they are insignificant.
1. A construction site with a view of "city view" can interfere, mostly at night she was silent, but sometimes she worked. but whatever, I was very tired, so I don't give a shit + there are birushas in the room.
2. The room is 21 degrees and my air conditioner is not working at +. Someone may freeze, for me this is the ideal temperature for a sweet sleep. To each his own.

The hotel is located by the road, construction began nearby in 24, keep in mind, it will be dusty and noisy, but there is an opportunity to upgrade the room, so I got a view of the Persian Gulf.
The hotel staff is polite, they speak different languages. Please note that this is 5 stars, But very tired, you can immediately see that a lot of people accept.
The breakfasts are good 10 out of 10, the restaurant is large, divided into 2 zones.
Check-in from 15:00, before check-in, it is possible to take a shower and leave your belongings.
Every hour according to the schedule there is a shuttle service that will take you to the beach, but it is very close, 10 minutes on foot.

A good budget five. Excellent breakfasts and dinners, good location. Close to public transport, the beach is a 15-minute walk away. I would consider cleaning as a minus. In the beginning, they cleaned well, but on the last day they did not clean the room at all. They never changed the bed linen, although they were supposed to every three days. There was no desire to make a row at the reception.
