Dubai Marina Historic Hotels

"This is a lovely hotel set in beautiful gardens and with a private beach. Facilities are excellent and very well appointed but it also has a relaxed and welcoming feel. Our room was kept spotless with a huge and very comfortable bed. We love the range of different restaurant options as you can use those of the next door Westin and W as well; there is everything from Spanish, Italian, Mediterranean fish dishes, Steaks, or more 'relaxed' dining at the Horizon Pool bar. The main hotel restaurants also offer a great buffet selection every night. We visited during Ramadan so the buffet was Iftar and mostly focussed on middle eastern cuisine, but excellent and with something for everyone. The staff are really friendly and helpful; nothing is too much trouble. The Waterpark means the hotel is popular with families, and the music from the next door Barasti club means there is usually some noise around the hotel, though the rooms are very well insulated. The hotel is very conveniently situated for an easy stroll to the Marina or the tram, which is then a short hop to the mono-rail train over to the Palm. There is a Carrefour supermarket and a Pharmacy a couple of minutes walk away in case of need too. We've been coming to the Meridien Mina Seyahi for many years and always enjoy a lovely stay. "
