Hello everyone, I was in Dubai in April for 5 nights and searched and searched for the best value and hotel in Dubai. I was completely happy with my selection. Let me tell you everything there is to know about why i chose this hotel. The hotel is only 10 minutes from Dubai International Airport and it cost about $7 US dollars to get to the hotel. The entranceo fo the hotel is very open, clean and extremely modern.. The front desk attendants were helpful and were able to check me in at 9am. I was very pleased after an 18 hour flight from San Francisco. The room I had was on the 7th floor and it was very nice and i will post pictures. The bathroom was big and the room had amazing clloset space. I had breakfast included and it was very good. It starts at 6 am and goes to 10am, Ih had all the items you could possibly need. I loved the way you get free bottled water in the room twice a day. You must go to the rooftop pool and it was really cool to see the city. I do have to say it was windy but on those hot days it felt great. I went to the gym and it had all the latest equipment. I would recommend taking the free shuttle to the Deira Beach. Its a very nice and safe beach with lots of things to do. The shuttle also goes to the city center which is this huge shopping area. I was not bored at all and felt very safe being alone. The hotel has three Lexus cars available for private tours and they charge by the hour and I did a tour that was prices at 550 dirham for 5 hours and I gave a 50 dirham tip. this is the best way to see the entire city in a day with a driver that will stop anywhere you want.

My husband and I stayed in Samaya hotel for 3 nights. The hotel is new, very clean and well located. Rooms are not so big but are very clean. Tea and coffee was provided in the room. The staff are kind, polite, friendly and extremely helpful, with very good attitute. Quality of the toiletry in the bathroom was very good. There are free shuttles to the city centre and the beach twice daily (we did not uese them). They did not offer free airport transfer (can be arranged upon request ) and since it is new, not many taxi's knew it yet . Although it costs less than 20 Dirhams from airport by taxi.
The swimming pool is VERY small but clean. Gym area is well equipped.
Our room had a spectacular side view of the creek.

Beware: this is a dry hotel! But there are so mny other hotels around that you can use thier pubs for a drink. Hilton is right in front and Sheraton is one block away.
In general we had a lovely stay.
