Rove Dubai Marina

We liked the Rove Dubai Marina. The room: The rooms were cleaned daily. There was a fridge in the room. The beds and towels were changed daily. There was free water left daily. WiFi: The wifi connection was reasonable. The staff: The staff were always friendly and helpful. Very professional. The location: The location was quite good. It was about a 15-20 minute walk to the public beach or the marina. There was also an hourly shuttle bus. There were two 24 hour supermarkets very close by. I’m told it’s a safe area and other than taxi’s driving alongside us, beeping, when we were walking, we didn’t have any issues. You do need to cover up to walk from the hotel to the beach. Once on the beach it’s fine to wear shorts/bikinis etc. The pool: The staff at the pool were always very nice. The pool seemed to be in the shade most of the time. Even on the one hot day that we were there there wasn’t sun at the pool. The pool was also closed for 3 days that we were there due to bad weather. Instead we went to the beach and the weather was fine. (Intermittent rainy patches). The food: There were no vegan options and limited vegetarian options the menu in the restaurant. This is a pity, as Dubai overall is very easy to eat in as a vegetarian. They did however attempt to accommodate us if we asked for recipes to be modified (no cheese etc). We were able to find plenty of vegan food on Deliveroo and in the local area. Overall it was enjoyable.

Friendly and very helpful staff; a very well run hotel and excellent value.

From check in to checking out the stay was fantastic. Feels like a boutique hotel — extremely trendy.

New business type of stay

Rove Marina is an excellent place to stay, away from the hurly- burly of downtown hotels. Though it is located in new and fast developing Marina neighborhood, it provides cozy environment,surrounded by over 200 restaurants around Marina 7km walkway- good place for even stroll and dine outs. The rooms are quite clean and promptly kept. My room keeper, Mr. Tanueer, was exceptionally friendly and upbeat in cheerfulness and well as the guys at the reception area. I just love the place. Taxis are available at any time. I checked out at about 1.00am on my departure date and was surprise to see a waiting taxi, without prior arrangement. One dark side of the Rove Marina is the frequent traffic along al seba street which is the only exit point around the place. I think there is a need to open up another exit point to ease the traffic especially in the hours between 7-10am. The hotel is about 10 mins walk to the Dubai Marina Malls, which is an excellent place for sight seeing and shopping. it is also not too far from Burj Khalifa ( Dubai's tallest tower) Rove Marina can also make arrangement for you to visit Abu Dhabi (about 1hr.30mins drive. you can go on roller coster on AD tour for 8hrs ( whole day) at about 220Dhs ( USD 61). Christian churches are not many around this area, the nearest catholic church ( St Mary's) is within 25km radius, will cost you 35mins on Taxi or 60-70DHs (USD 20 one way) which is located at 247 Oud Metha Road,( an excellent place to worship) .
