Great hotel! The location is perfect! The views of the canal are gorgeous! There is a shuttle service to the airport and back, to the me ro and to the beach. Find out at the counter. We included breakfasts and dinners. It's worth it. It is very expensive to eat in Dubai. Nearby is Creek Island, a new neighborhood, there will be a new largest tower in the world. The hotel itself is in good condition. The carpets in the rooms are natural and smell of sheep's wool) it went fine for me, it's still natural! but it's hard to say about others) bathroom accessories are new every day. And it feels like the linen is also bed linen! We made a compliment from the hotel, chocolate and fruit. The gym is better to go to the intercontinental, go through the transition and that's it. Breakfasts at the Crown Plaza and dinners at the intercoetinental. In 2024, the restaurant received a Michelin star. It's delicious, but sushi can't cook) and be sure to sit outside, you can see the singing fountain there! A very cool view. The pools are not heated, except for the Jacuzzi, where the water is warm. The staff is at the highest level. Everything is clean and perfect. And there is also a small spa, separate for men and women. Mini hammam and sauna. The entrance is directly from the pool, where you can change clothes and wash up. So you don't have to go in swimsuits from the room. And all the buildings with the festival mall are connected by passageways.
A nice big hotel, part of a complex of five-star hotels located nearby, connected to each other and to a large shopping center by passages. You can use the infrastructure of neighboring hotels. Several restaurants, great food. Half board meals are justified - they are very diverse and tasty and more profitable, given that everything in Dubai is not cheap, including meals.Nice pools. There is a station nearby, from where pleasure yachts and boats depart. It is far from the beach, but there is a hotel transfer 1 time per day, round trip.
The hotel is perfect for a short (1-3) stop in Dubai. Among the advantages: not far from the airport, next to the large Festival City Mall (direct entrance to the mall from the hotel), it takes 10-15 minutes by taxi to the Dubai Mall. Beautiful view of the bay, several pools. The staff is friendly. Although it is written that it is 5*, but rather it is either 4++ or 5-, it falls a little short of the solid five
