A handy location with 30min walk from beach, 10min from metro station, and right at the Walk with its services. You can hear the nearby Mosque, but on the other hand, if you don't want to, why would you go to Dubai at all :) The room was what we expected it to be - clean, with all the facilities we needed. The personnel was very friendly, there was especially one very nice man who proactively took care that we had our transportation to the airport ordered early enough. The nearest beach offers a play-ground for little kids, and there are others at the walk and the nearby McDonald's. For bigger children, there is less on offer. The swimming pool area is small but it was never a problem. We didn't take the hotel breakfast so can't say anything about that. - About Dubai itself, it seems that it's becoming too big to my taste - too much traffic.You usually stand all the 45min or 1h to your destination if you take the metro - and in the car you stand in the jam. Strangely enough, perhaps caused by the smog, the 30+ weather didn't show as tanned skin!
