"The Rove on the Dubai Marina is a great hotel, with all the facilities, modern, friendly staff and within walking distance of all the facilities of the Dubai Marina. I stayed there for 6 days on business and I found the Rove to be well run with all the amenities I needed. The food in the restaurant was fairly simple, but tasty, with good sized helpings, always something new to try. I would definitely stay at the Rove Dubai Marina again."

" I arrived in the night tired after a long journey, a new cab driver not so familiar with the roads. i was met by Rajendra and the night manager Mr. Mohamed who saw my frustrations. He gave me a free upgrade to a room with balcony facing both the marina and sheikh Zayed road. beautiful views, it made me forget all the troubles. The day team, Paddy and Shenoda led by Mr. Jan were a cheerful lot. The location is superb with the Metro and tram station a few meters away . The walk is just two streets behind, you can access many restaurants. there is a 24 hr store next to the hotel and Dubai Marina mall is a walking distance. The hotel is very clean, the cleaning staff were very nice. Gym is still under construction however they have meanwhile converted two rooms into a temporary gym. Breakfast is served at the Master Chef restaurant, nice staff Azan always cheerful .it is a mix of buffet and a la carte .Everything is freshly made, one can play around with the menu. I loved my stay. "

"Tamani Marina is great. I stayed here at the end of 2015 three times with a collegue. First 10 days, then booked again for 10 days and after Christmas also 2 days. We stayed in Dubai many times but for Dubai Marina area this is great value, perfect location (easy and fast to enter by taxi and tram, close to beach and supermarket). Staff is really friendly, free WiFi is ok and appartment really big. We now live in Dubai Marina but we definately recommend this hotel to all friends and family who like to visit us in Dubai. We think this hotel should be rated around 9 because we visited many other hotels with a 9 but nothing as good as this one. I don't write a recommendation often but this hotel has deserved it!"

"we arrived at the amwaj rotana after checking out of the atlantis on monday morning. we were impressed at the surroundings we saw, as the taxi entered jumeirah beach residence. we felt as if we were at beverly hills!! the moment we arrived at amwaj, the staff helped us unload our baggages, and i made my way to the reception for check-in. amwaj had a few guest relations staff, who made sure that we were comfortable the moment we stepped in, offered us scented wet towels. checking in was a breeze,within 5 minutes i had the room card in my hands, and we made our way to our room. the room was fairly large, overlooking the beach. the view was fantastic! we were on the 11th floor, and we could see the hotel's pool and sheraton's pool from our balcony. love the sight! we didn't opt for breakfast as we wanted to check out the various cafes and restaurants within the hotel vicinity. december is definitely the best time to visit dubai, with its nice cool weather, and the posh cafes lining the street adjacent to the hotel, its a wonderful experience. amwaj is also close to dubai marina mall, about 5 minutes taxi ride. mall of emirates and dubai mall is also not far away, about 15 minutes and 20 minutes taxi ride. we stayed at the amwaj for 2 nites, loved every second of it!!

"The staff were fantastic, I can't praise them highly enough so a short name check and apologies if I have forgotten anyone: Tran and Karen on reception, Lila and Ronny on the concierge desk, Nirma and Rashmi in the restaurant and Khalid, Lingu, Michael and John in housekeeping who were super efficient and unobtrusive. Good facilities, made good use of the gym, free wifi was quick and easy to access, spacious restaurant with plenty of choices for breakfast. Well located at JBR with a tram stop at the back of the hotel (also a small supermarket there) so easy to get to Dubai Marina Mall or connect with the metro at Jumeirah Lakes Towers to get to other places in Dubai. Dubai Marina is at the back of the hotel and across the road. Great places for early morning walks or an evening stroll. I recommend getting the bus (number 8) or taxi to Ibn Battuta Mall so much less crowded and closer than MoE, Dubai Mall etc. It's less glitzy with better bargains. There is construction on the beachfront side of the property and towards the back alonside Dubai Marina so be aware. I had requested a room away from the construction (given 1202) at the back of the hotel and was unaffected. The concierge desk provide beach bags with beach mat, towel and an umbrella if you want one. The beach was clean and the sea was like a warm bath, nice! I highly recommend this hotel. Final tip: take the metro to Salah Al Din and have the best falafels ever at Sultan Dubai Falafel, definitely worth the effort, you'll never look at UK supermarket falafels in the same way! "
