Stayed 8 nights from 15th-23rd November. Quick check-in with a welcome drink on arrival. Excellent room with massive bed, big bathroom, dining area, full kitchen facilities incl washing machine & full size fridge/freezer - great for storing drinks/ice cubes. Also kettle, toaster and a powerful 1875w hairdryer - not your usual 800w! Hotel was amazing, immaculately clean and staff were lovely, nothing was too much trouble. Room was cleaned every day, with 2 bottles of water left for us every day. Pool area was fab, plenty of loungers with towels and seating areas with big umbrellas if you wanted shade. Didn't use spa/gym but looked lovely - the toilets were very luxurious though! We went to the England v Pakistan cricket match at Dubai sports city, 20km away, amazing game and only 40 dirhams in a cab. We also went to the golf at Jumeirah golf estates, roughly same distance and price. Also used metro from Dubai marina back to Dubai mall, 8 dirham each. Just ask reception to call you cab and its there within minutes. Getting around was easy and efficient, though busier at night. We didn't want to leave!
