Checking In // Ocean View Hotel, Dubai

11 March 2013


After four days of perfect relaxation (basically sleeping, eating and laying in the sun), I was ready to head for Dubai. Not just because the holiday eating would at least be somewhat balanced by energy burnt sightseeing and shopping there! I've had Dubai on my list of places to visit for a while, and I'd heard so many good things about it, so I was really excited to finally see it.

Finding a decent hotel in Dubai, with a good location, that's not extortionate is a bit of challenge, but  we got just that! We stayed at the recently opened Ocean View Hotel, located directly on JBR walk and a stones throw from Dubai Marina. The location is perfect; within walking distance of plenty of great restaurants, cafes and shops. Not to mention it's right on the beach front. The hotel itself reminded me of W Hotels, it had a very sleek, contemporary design; I'd highly recommend it to anyone who is into that style of hotel. We checked into our club room on the 24th floor, it was immaculate with views straight out over the azure sea to The Palm in the distance. There was free Haribo too. Doesn't get much better than that!

(Oh, and as you may notice, I'd inadvertently matched my outfit to the room.)

Happy to find Elemis products in the bathroom
Loved the vitamin-rich body lotion in particular, left skin feeling super soft without being sticky or greasy. 
Complimentary gold bears. Oh, I guess if you're offering.
Checking out the important stuff...like room service, you know?!

Didn't I tell you the view was great! If you're planning a trip to Dubai, make sure you check out this hotel, you won't be disappointed by the spacious rooms, great service or the location. If, or rather when, we return to Dubai, we'll no doubt be staying here again.
