Nice hotel, very friendly service, great delicious breakfast and right opposite a massive shopping mall. But the Mövenpick is very far outside, directly next to a industrial area, between cables and is over an hour ( metro, with a car up to one and a half hour) to of the city Dubai away. Beach Club and beach ( with shuttle bus easy to get to) are ok. Unfortunately the beach is the area very small and not beautifully designed. In the water is a small field …  read more

So we stayed in Dubai/UAE have never experienced something like that! Ibn battuta-never again! Dubai love! We were then another day in the palm island. There everything was perfect, as it should be... :-) …  read more

The staff was always very friendly and everyone is helpful to help. The rooms were here 3 times from the officials visited. 1 times mornings to cleaning, 1 times in the afternoon at minibar refill and 1 times in the evening at the rooms for the night built (blankets expand, curtains...). English spoken here. There are only a few german here or another european language can. I had the impression, that is not wanted. Especially at the front desk has one very fast spoken and even if you the told us, you like a little slower talk, they did not. Perhaps … read more

Especially we loved the Oceana-beach club, a great clean, great beach with a wahnsinnskulisse! I had several books for everyone, but i just half a managed, because i am not from the prospect losreisen could! And in the bar you sit beautiful! Is a little bit confusing, that despite booked all inclusive every day a bill with a little frightening amounts has to sign, but this is probably only buchhaltungstechnisch.

Foreign language skills but much to be desired, it is only english spoken and with english you can't really far. Location a bit out of the way, but you can enjoy the city via metro reach, since this hotel its own metro station,. The pool is not the greatest but very clean.
