“For a streamlined Dubai visit that balances budget and convenience, this could be it. Its biggest draws are likely the rooftop pool and the surprisingly lively nightclub, offering a taste of the city's energy without the premium price tag. I see it as a practical choice, with the on-site gym and even banqueting facilities adding a touch of unexpected versatility.”
