We booked the two bedroom classic flat here, which turns out to have 3 bathrooms (one with shower, two with tubs) and three bedrooms (one very small, but has a single bed). I wouldnt pay up for the sea view, because ours had excellent views to the sea and marina. we have stayed here with our baby (9 months) and the staff were supportive and the facilities good (baby cot, chair,...). there is a pool, but small and a baby pool which is shaded all day. you get free use of the meridien pool shuttle inclusive (5 min ride).
i wouldnt worry about the building work, you cant hear it. it is a bit of an eye sore, but its all over dubai, not just the marina.
book this over emirates website for free breakfast and 20% off spa treatments.
this isnt a resort hotel, just very nice apartments.all appliances are high quality (AEG, Bosch,...) very suitable for babies, but not much to do for toddlers. in total excellent value for a lot of space.
