Hotel Recommendations for 27 January Community Event
In reference to the MAG 218 Community event of 27 January 2006.
The following per night rates were checked on 10 January for stays 26 - 29 January. Links are from either Dubai World Site's Hotels and Resorts or Hotel-Rates.com's Dubai Hotels where you will find complete listings. Those listed below are not the cheapest, rather proximity to Dubai Marina and the Madinat Jumeirah and the quality of the property are considered along with price. You may need to recheck rates and get further info online at the alternate link provided:
Hotels in Dubai are expensive, with prices rising. Not everyone needs or wants 5-star accommodation, but the market is geared toward that--for reason of profit margins, of course. The Internet provides a valuable resource for finding a hotel, but it isn't always easy to find what you want and info changes often. Case in point, 2-weeks prior I found a listing for the same dates as above at the Oasis Beach Hotel for about Dhs 680. Now, not only can I not find the site I checked before but on checking one site repeatedly today I found the listing change from Dhs 850 to Dhs 900.
Top recommendation? The Regent Beach Resort offers the best compromise among price, location and quality of property. It is about as far from the Dubai Marina as the Metropolitan but easier to get to, including by public bus. It is also at a good middle point between the new and old Dubai. Among the 6 hotels listed above, however, I have never before seen or heard of this one, but Jumeirah public beach which it seems to be near is an excellent beach. If you can get the Dhs 660 rate it will be an excellent value, especially considering its free airport shuttle. If price is less of an issue, the Al Qasr Madinat Jumeirah is a brand new, super high-class property with one of the most beautiful settings in Dubai and it is also the venue of the Dubai Home Owners show.
Hope the above helps. Good luck on your own search--and I would appreciate any good deals you find to pass on to others.
