A good hotel in the price-quality ratio. I recommend. The food is varied and delicious. The staff is friendly. The rooms are cleaned daily, towels were changed every day, linen every 3 days. It's a bit far from the beach, but there is a shuttle service to the beach and the Marina Mall shopping center. There is a promenade nearby - it's a pleasure to walk in the evening. Overall, I am happy with my vacation. But the hotel is more a good 4*, not 5*. The room stock is not new, the food is not so exquisite for 5*. The full board package includes breakfasts, lunches, and dinners. Breakfast drinks include water, juices, tea, and coffee. Only water for lunch, and only water for dinner. You need to pay extra for other drinks. Water is supplied in the rooms daily. There is a small swimming pool in the courtyard.

Great hotel! We had a rest in March 2024. Metro, shops, cafes, walking area along the canal, beach...everything is within walking distance. The rooms are very spacious, a giant bed, snow-white linen, several pillows and blankets. The bathroom is very large, a bathtub, a shower cabin, two sinks, a toilet, a bidet, everything is in perfect condition. Snow-white towels and bathrobes. Detergents, soap, shampoo, gel, etc. are all available. Refrigerator, iron, ironing board, hair dryer, kettle, coffee machine....everything is in good condition....a set of tea bags and coffee capsules is available. Bottled water in the room... Room cleaning every day. Very polite and friendly, Russian-speaking staff. The buffet is very good, a large selection of dishes, vegetables, fruits, yoghurts, milk, juices, tea, coffee...there is a dining area outside under the greenery. We liked it.

We chose this hotel according to the parameters of price and quality. The hotel is within walking distance to the beach (10 minutes on foot), near the canal embankment (5 minutes), DDMC metro (10 minutes), to the Marina Mall also (15 minutes). In general, the hotel is excellent for unscrupulous visitors, because the stated 5ka is clearly not 5ka in terms of room stock (the hotel is tired, shabby baseboards, dirty palace, darned curtains), but for us, these are small things, we were practically not in the room, so we didn't pay much attention. Room cleaning is done well. My wife was given a compliment in the form of a cake, it's nice! On the ground floor there is a swimming pool (for children and adults), towels are given in exchange for cards. Important! The hotel has a deposit (but it is refunded in dirhams at check-out), we were not warned, so there was such a surprise. Including the tourist tax and the deposit - 127
dollars. Dollars are accepted at the hotel only new ones from 2006. Unionpay cards are not accepted at the reception. Check-in is not from 14, but from 15.00 (they said that now many hotels are switching to such check-in) in general, at check-out / check-in, you can leave your suitcase under supervision at the reception. There is a Russian-speaking receptionist and a concierge. All the disadvantages are interrupted by the kitchen - breakfast and dinner in our case. The cooking is just a delight! It is so delicious, so diverse that even because of the cuisine it is worth staying at this hotel. In general, I recommend it

The hotel has a great location. Everything is within walking distance. Cafes, restaurants, promenade, beach , shops. Everything is nearby.
The staff and service at the hotel are at a high level. The room is cozy and spacious. A large and comfortable bed. The shower has all the accessories of good quality.
There is a coffee machine in the room. The water is constantly replenished .
The food (breakfast) is good. The buffet.
There are always eggs, they make a delicious omelet, as well as a variety of dairy products and a lot of goodies and Nuts. There are also freshly squeezed juices and fruits.
They give out a towel for the beach. And they even provide a shuttle service to the beach. And you can also use this transfer to get to Marina Mol.

I liked the hotel. The rooms are spacious and fresh enough. Friendly staff, there are Russian-speaking staff at the reception.
The breakfast is a buffet, but quite varied.
The hotel has a separate SPA sauna +steam bath+ mini-pool jacuzzi.
The beach is 10..15 minutes on foot.
Of the disadvantages, there is a construction site nearby and a noisy high-way.
The metro station is only 5..7 minutes away.
Also within walking distance is the bus stop (runs at night) N55 to Al Muktun airport - 5 dirhams on the map and a 45-minute drive.

We stayed here in April 2024 for 7 nights. Friendly, competent Russian-speaking staff at the reception and in the restaurant. Freshly cut flowers occupy an entire table in the hotel lobby. The elevators are spacious and fast, and the waiting time for the elevator is minimal. A free hotel shuttle runs every hour to the JBR public beach, which stops at the Dubai Marina Mall on the way back, which is very convenient. DMCC Metro Station is a five-minute walk from the hotel. The view from the hotel is only on the city, and a building is being built across the street from it, so you may not be lucky with a view on this side. The room has everything you need, and even an ironing board with an iron, and a sewing kit, and a capsule coffee machine. The bathroom has a shower, a bathtub, a bidet, scales, two sinks, which is very convenient. Towels are changed and cleaning is done daily. We had breakfast included; the choice was varied, but there were no meat dishes except sausages and bacon. We bought dinner a couple of times, meat dishes were plentiful at dinner, and, in principle, both dinners were very diverse. However, there was a significant disadvantage - only mineral water was available for dinner; there was no tea, coffee, or juice, and there were no other drinks.
Some more momets in this five-star hotel were confused: everything seemed to be cleaned, clean linen and towels, but there was dirt on the baseboard of the wardrobe and under the glass on the bedside table. There is an installation in the form of waves on each floor near the elevators: so there is an old layer of dust on these waves.

The location is convenient, there is a shuttle service to the beach and the pier. We went to Kite Beach several times, it is cleaner and there are fewer people than on Jbl.
The service is excellent, the cleaning is daily, the staff is very courteous, polite, trying to do everything for the rest of the guests.
The food is beyond praise, we took breakfasts, lunches and dinners and did not regret it, it is worth the money. Ala-carte dinners on the menu, amazingly delicious! Of course, the rooms are no longer of modern design, but everything works, and so does the smart home. The view was taken to the sea, it is definitely better to pay extra so as not to look or listen to the construction site or the road!
Of the disadvantages, they do not give themselves teaspoons until you ask.

A magnificent hotel! The location is excellent: DMCC metro is within walking distance (10 minutes), JBL Beach is within walking distance (15 minutes), there is also a shuttle service to the beach from the hotel, but we never used it.
We got upgraded from the hotel, the windows overlooked the highway and the marina (noise is minimal, we slept great). There is no balcony or heated towel rail. The room is tired, but everything you need for a comfortable stay is there: iron, ironing board, hair dryer, coffee machine, kettle, scales, bathrobe, slippers, a full set of all bathroom accessories.
I would like to note separately the quality of cleaning (daily) Ganesh, absolutely all wishes and preferences have been heard and implemented. If you suddenly forgot or do not have an adapter for the European connector, ask for it at the reception, they will give it out without any problems.
We only had breakfast, everyone was satisfied, a buffet.
I definitely recommend this hotel for all inexperienced people!

Hello, everyone. Nice hotel, clean, delicious food. There is always a Russian-speaking staff at the reception. Clean pool + "paddling pool" Convenient location, 10-15 minutes walk to the beach, the same distance to the Marino mall?
I didn't like that it was cold in the hotel, you just turn off the air conditioner in the room, went out and went in, it turns on again in the cold. And the second nuance is that there is smoking in the lobby, it is difficult for a non-smoker to relax and get high from a delicious cocktail😁

We were with a friend for a week from April 2-9, 2024. The hotel is very geographically well located.
We didn't really like the food. Lamb pilaf in a large frying pan is very tasty, but it's been there all week. Lentil soup is also every day. Never just a whole natural fried fish.
There are very few fresh vegetables, only apples and oranges from fruits.
There is no private area on the beach, sun beds are paid for 6500, not everyone can afford. I didn't want to buy and walk with umbrellas. That's why we were there for only 3 hours and then burned down. And the wind is always strong in the pool. the water was warm, it's a pity there wasn't enough time.
I was in Dubai for the first time, I want to return. But already to the hotel, which has its own area with sun beds and umbrellas on the beach.

I liked the hotel, very clean rooms, bed linen, towels-perfectly clean. The room cleaning is also great.
The breakfasts are very tasty, there is a large selection, everyone will find something to taste.
But the reception is absolutely useless, they smile sweetly, but they can't solve a single issue.
In the main restaurant, during breakfast, the restaurant employee Mina behaved terribly, was rude, moved the dishes loudly on purpose, cleaned everything very noisily. Then he came up to us and aggressively began to talk about how we need to finish breakfast. It was terribly unpleasant, rude and extremely unprofessional. We complained to the managers at the reception, but no one came out with a response.

Great hotel! The rooms are nice, the room has everything you need to relax. Swimming pool, spa area. The Russian-speaking staff is very attentive and friendly. On nutrition. The breakfasts are excellent. The dinners are ordinary. Therefore, if you like to have a varied dinner, it is better not to take dinners, but to visit cafes, of which there are a great many in the area and on the Marina embankment.
P. S. I read other reviews about dinners. We didn't have shrimp and seafood.We rested in the second half of March 2024. Maybe because of Ramadan, the dinners were more modest..

Nice hotel and very nice friendly staff. The lobby and rooms are beautiful, always clean, and the view from the window is of the bustling Dubai life. The hotel cares about the environment, so there are cards in the room with an unobtrusive offer to take care of nature (for example, if you have to change your bed linen according to the schedule today, and tomorrow you plan to check out, you can leave a note saying that you can not change the bed linen today). This is definitely a plus. I would have stayed there again. Thanks to all the employees!

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 fact, the hotel does not reach 5 stars.

- The food is a little specific, there is delicious, there is one that is impossible to eat.
- They asked to check in early, since they were on the road for a day, they did not check in.
- Transfer to a dirty beach, I would like it to be clean. Since you can walk to the dirty central on foot.

We lived on the 29th floor, the view is cool, the room is large, clean, cleaning every day (Thanks a lot to Rashid). I liked the food, there was something new for breakfast and dinner every day. Always fruits, vegetables, meat, fresh juices, fish are not so often offered a lot, but there are. Desserts are delicious. The service and staff are wonderful, very responsive, smiling, polite.
Near the metro station, Dubai Marina shopping center, to the beach (12 minutes spotted) a beautiful beach, overlooking the wheel and all the sights. There is also a transfer to the beach and the shopping center. I liked the spa, there is a gym. A pool with water where you can cool off. Towels are always given both on the beach and by the pool. Very expensive cocktails, of course, but there is nothing cheap in Dubai 😊

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.

A good hotel, Russian-speaking staff and a friendly atmosphere. The management is ready to make compromises and many pleasant bonuses in the form of a free shuttle service to the shopping center and the beach.

The hotel is super! it is located next to the Dubai marina mall, every hour a bus pulls up to the hotel and takes it first to the beach (picks up and drops people off), then goes to the marina mall, and then back to the hotel. The terrace of the hotel itself is small, there are 2 swimming pools, a large one for children, a smaller one (1.3 m) There is a pool bar. The dining room is super, the food is delicious, I especially advise you to try fish) There is a sauna and a Jacuzzi (free of charge) + a small gym (there is always a maximum of 1-3 people) There are inexpensive cafes nearby. The view from the hotel window is wonderful, the only thing that confused me was the construction site, but it is visible if you come close to the window and look down. The staff is good, kind and nice people.

A very nice hotel. The rooms are large. We had a two-room suite, there was a lot of space. But the rooms are asking for repairs. There are no more complaints, it's clean, the food is delicious, the staff is polite and many speak Russian

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.

We have been staying at the hotel since February 26th. It was the second time we were there. The quality of service and food has become worse than it was 4 years ago.
Construction has begun nearby, city view = view of the crane. Somewhere up to the 12th floor for sure. So ask for a higher floor.
The breakfasts are monotonous, there is more choice at dinner. But the baby is 2 years old, there was absolutely nothing to eat at dinner.
A children's table is not provided.
The cots are in very poor condition. They brought only a bed and a mattress with a sheet - they did not give either a pillow or a blanket.
The pool is not heated, during this period it was warm only for lunch.
The way to the sea and the beach are magnificent.
Room cleaning is also great.

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.
