Marina Residence - 1108

The whole place felt almost palatial, and with nine of us staying there, the space was more than enough. We had four bedrooms and eight beds, with large rooms and a bathroom for each room, either inside or across the hall. The beds were very comfortable, and everything was superbly clean. There was a television in every room. The huge wraparound balcony had at least four separate sitting areas, plus a canopy bed tucked into a dark corner. That could have been romantic on a different kind of trip. The master bathroom felt like its own mini suite, with the deepest whirlpool tub I’ve seen and a separate spa shower. It’s a residence where people actually live, not a hotel, but it felt safe and secure. Concierge service was available to us, and the suite owner was kind, professional, and there whenever we needed help. Cabs were available around the clock. The parking garage is next to the mall, though I can’t remember its name. The place is within walking distance of the marina, which suits its name. The view was stunning. I can’t say enough good things about it. I’d love to return, or even live there! Five out of five for beauty and sheer excellence.

The rooms were spacious, clean, and smelled fresh, and room cleaning was done regularly. The location is good, and the amenities suited my needs. I liked the jacuzzi and sauna, though I didn’t try the gym or steam bath. Security is very strict, in a good way. Staying here in Dubai felt luxurious and extravagant.

Such a nice place.

A very neat place with a site view, and all the qualities of the future.
