chose this because i came over the New Year holidY AND WANTED TO BE CLOSE TO jbr WHERE THE ACTION IS. All hotels were sold out by the time i decided to go. Was totally surprised how pleasant the hotel is and the head honcho Marina is a gem. She makes everything happen wearing a sincere smile throughout the most difficult tasks. There is a cafe for breakfast off the pool and a supermarket 3 blocks away for everything else. They will deliver if you are not into schlepping! One caveat no wines or liquors to be bought. Dubai airport has a fabulous duty free on arrival you can purchase up to 4 bottles of any wine or spirit for every passenger take heed if you like to imbibe.
If i have a complaint it would be that there is no coffee maker in the very well equipped kitchens. I mentioned it and maybe they have bought them by now. They really do everything to make the guest comfortable. Nice pool and fittness room
