I don’t see the logic of this hotel. For leisure stays, it is located in the middle of an urban nondescript block while there are much better options in the area with private beaches; for business stays, it is so far away from any business destination to the point of being discouraging.
stayed here last week. Nothing special. Don’t really recommend considering all the other options around. Only cool thing is that it’s connected to the mall which has the observatory on the top and a cinema. Nothing special as it’s not a high fashion mall like mall of Emirates or Dubai mall. Better to stay somewhere directly on the beach if you’re going to be on the palm.
