Serenity Paradise 2BR in Marina, hotel in Dubai

Serenity Paradise 2BR in Marina is a beachfront property situated in Dubai, 700 metres from Barasti Beach and 700 metres from Mina Seyahi Beach.

Was staying in a lovely room with a very comfortable bed and a cool view including the sea. The apartment itself is slightly tired, but very clean and looks good. There is a small free beach a few minutes walk from the building (I went there at 9 AM and was almost alone, but I suppose in the evenings it might be packed). The host, Lisa, is super responsive and helpful. I didn't meet any neighbors in the apartment, but judging by alarm clocks, someone was definitely staying there at the same time (thus, I'm saying that it's possible to feel alone in the whole flat).

    Nice quiet rooms with good facilities- tea, coffee, cooler ( a fridge would have been nice), plenty of hot water, towels and robe with slippers. Breakfast good variety nice egg station. Additional variety of fresh fruit rather than just melon. Pool area was lovely with towels and plenty of seating. Shuttle to kite beach (30mins away) was good. Really cheap and tasty cafe at the bus station - lovely lemon chicken and fruit shakes.

    I travel for business, my trips are short but intense, hence always looking for relaxing atmosphere and quiet, yet convenient as location place to stay. All staff members were very polite. Rooms / apartments - were nice, clean and tidy. Great location, hotel is situated to a near by metro station (walking distance 3-4 min) as well as shopping centre (City Centre Deira).

    Great location, at the foot of the bridge to the beach. Comfortable place with everything you need. Supermarket across the street (with VERY cheap prices for Dubai). Host Sherif was very nice and allowed a slightly late check out, which came in very handy.
