Dubai Dream: Stunning 2BR Apartment with Breathtaking Views!
Dubai Dream: Actually Dreamy? A Messy, Honest Review (and why you SHOULD book it!)
Okay, folks, let's be real. Trying to find the "perfect" hotel room, especially in a city as dazzling (and overwhelming!) as Dubai, is like searching for a unicorn riding a hoverboard. But, I’m here to tell you, after my stay at "Dubai Dream: Stunning 2BR Apartment with Breathtaking Views!"… it’s damn close. This isn't a polished brochure; it's the unfiltered truth. Buckle up.
First Impressions (and a near-meltdown in the lobby):
The name "Dubai Dream" kinda sets the expectation bar HIGH, right? I arrived after a red-eye flight, fueled by lukewarm coffee and the existential dread of not having slept properly for, well, days. The lobby? Grand. Possibly too grand. Think shimmering gold, impossible chandeliers, and a gazillion perfectly coiffed people. Feeling like a slightly crumpled paper bag, I fumbled with my luggage and nearly tripped over a potted palm. Thankfully, the concierge, a godsend named Omar, was incredibly patient. He navigated the "Contactless check-in/out" process (which thankfully worked - a win!), and my sanity survived. "Elevator," he pointed, gesturing towards a gleaming silver box. Praise be! (Though, I secretly wished for a personal elevator attendant just to complete the opulent experience.)
Accessibility & Safety: The Boring But Necessary Stuff (that matters!)
Okay, let's get the practicalities out of the way. This is important, even if it's not sexy.
- Wheelchair Accessible: Yes! Hallelujah! Wide hallways, ample elevator space, and the apartment itself was easily navigable. A HUGE win if you need it. (My travelling companion uses a cane, and she praised the layout.)
- CCTV, Security, and Safety: Felt secure. Plenty of CCTV everywhere (maybe too much, I joked, feeling like I was constantly being watched by Big Brother), 24-hour security, and a fire extinguisher in the apartment (phew!). They took safety seriously.
- Cleanliness and Safety (post-COVID): This is where they really shine. "Rooms sanitized between stays" is an understatement. The apartment smelled fresh – not the fake, chemical-laden fresh, but genuinely clean. They use "Anti-viral cleaning products," and you can even opt-out of daily room service if you want to minimize contact. Hand sanitizer everywhere. I felt genuinely comfortable, and that's priceless.
- Doctor/Nurse on Call: Luckily, I didn't need it. But it's reassuring to know it's there.
- Cashless Payment Service: Super convenient! I paid for everything with a tap of my card.
The 2BR Apartment: Breathtaking Views… and Did I Mention the Views?!
Alright, the real reason you're here. And yes, the views are breathtaking. Seriously. I'm still not sure how they built something so magnificent. Picture this: floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city skyline, sparkling like a thousand diamonds. The Burj Khalifa? Right there, dominating the horizon. I spent the first hour just staring, mouth agape, completely forgetting all my travel anxieties.
- The Apartment Itself: Spacious. More spacious then my actual apartment back home. Modern, stylish furniture. Comfortable beds (essential after those long flights!). A fully equipped kitchen (even though I mostly ate out, the option was nice).
- Amenities in the Room (and they are MANY): Okay, here’s the laundry list, but it’s worth it: Air conditioning (duh!), a fabulous coffee maker (my lifeline!), free Wi-Fi (essential!), a safe box, a mini bar (populated with surprisingly good snacks), and a bathrobe (that's the good life, right there). Seriously, they thought of everything. They even had a "mirror" and a "seating area"! In all, this place is more well-equipped then my house.
- Bathroom Bliss: A separate shower/bathtub situation, soft towels, and those little spa-quality toiletries. They even have a phone in the bathroom – for… urgent… bath-related calls? I didn’t use it, but hey, options!
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking (and My Unsuccessful Quest for a Late-Night Curry)
- Restaurants on-site: There are a few restaurants, including Asian and International cuisine. The buffet breakfast was… decent, a standard hotel spread. The coffee shop was convenient for a quick caffeine fix.
- Room Service (24-hour): A total lifesaver! Especially after the aforementioned red-eye flight.
- The Quest for Curry: I had a massive craving for Indian food one night. Room service didn’t have Indian. Sigh. The "Convenience store" didn't really have much convenience for late-night cravings. (Lesson learned: always plan for the late-night curry need.)
- Poolside Bar: The poolside bar was great for a sundowner. Good cocktails, good views (again!), and a relaxed vibe.
Things to Do (or, how I actually managed to RELAX!)
- The Swimming Pool (Outdoor): Infinity pool with a view? Hell yes. Spent hours lounging by the pool, sipping cocktails, and feeling utterly pampered. Pure bliss.
- Fitness Center (and the realization I was REALLY out of shape): I bravely ventured into the gym. Modern equipment, plenty of space. Humiliatingly, I realized I hadn’t been to the gym in like… a year. (Don't judge!)
- Spa/Sauna/Steamroom: They had a spa! Yes! I indulged in a massage. Pure. Heaven. I tried the sauna and steamroom (maybe a little TOO enthusiastic with the steamroom, if I'm honest - nearly fainted!).
- Ways to Relax: They understood the concept. They even had a "Pool view" (it's a selling point!). The whole vibe of the place is relaxation-focused.
Services and Conveniences (the little things that make a BIG difference!)
- Concierge: Omar, bless him, was a lifesaver. He helped with EVERYTHING. Booking taxis, restaurant recommendations, directions… You name it. He was the star.
- Daily Housekeeping: Spotless. My bed was made every day, fresh towels, the whole shebang.
- Laundry Service/Dry Cleaning: Super convenient!
- Car park [free of charge]: Parking was easy, always a plus!
- Wi-Fi [free]: Everywhere! No more battling hotel Wi-Fi, and with speeds that are actually usable!
For the Kids (and those of us who are still kids at heart)
- Babysitting service: They had it. I didn't need it, but good to know!
- Family/child friendly: Certainly seems it.
The Quirks (and why I'm still smiling)
- The Elevator's Speed: It was fast. Like, almost scary fast. I developed a nervous tic of clutching the handrail.
- The Sheer Glamour: It's a lot. A lot of gold. I felt underdressed in my jeans and t-shirt. Embrace it. Or, you know, pack a sequin gown.
- The "View": Seriously, the view. Did I mention the view? It’s everything.
The Verdict: Book It! (But maybe pack a sequin gown)
Look, "Dubai Dream: Stunning 2BR Apartment with Breathtaking Views!" isn't perfect. But it's pretty darn close. It's stylish, comfortable, incredibly clean, and has those mind-blowing views that will make you the envy of all your Instagram followers. The staff is amazing. The amenities are plentiful. And the feeling of being utterly pampered? Priceless.
Would I return? Absolutely. In a heartbeat.

Dubai: The Glittering (and Potentially Grueling) Adventure - 2 Bedroom Apartment with a View (Praying it's a Good One)
Day 1: Arrival, Apartment Hunting, and Panic Bubbles
- Morning (ish): Land in Dubai. The sheer heat hits you like a brick wall even before you clear customs. My face already feels like it’s melting. I’m sweating before I even find my baggage claim. Note to self: pack industrial-strength deodorant. Also, try not to look like a bewildered tourist immediately; I feel like I’m failing spectacularly.
- Transport Trauma: Okay, pre-booked a taxi. This should make things easier, right? Famous last words. Traffic. Everywhere. I'm stuck staring at… well, a lot of other cars. I swear the taxi driver is trying to get on some sort of "Fast and Furious" Dubai spin-off movie.
- Afternoon: Apartment Reconnaissance (and Hopeful Expectations): Find the apartment. Fingers crossed the "great views" aren't just of a parking lot.
- Moment of Truth: The key fumbles in the lock. Breath held. Door opens… YES! The view is even better than the photos. Dubai's all spread out before me, glittering stupidly. A surge of pure, unadulterated joy. I might actually cry. Happy tears.
- Reality Check: Okay, deep breaths. Can't get too carried away. Unpack, try to figure out the AC (crucial), and locate the nearest grocery store. Food is always the answer.
- Evening: Grocery run. First impressions: everything is HUGE. Dates the size of my fist. Mountains of spices I'm too intimidated to even touch. Accidentally buy enough hummus and flatbread to feed an army. Decide to embrace the chaos. Dinner: Hummus, date (the fist-sized one), and a strong feeling of "I'm actually doing this."
Day 2: Desert Dreams and Shopping Shenanigans (and a Near-Meltdown)
- Morning: Sleep in. Because, vacation. Coffee on the balcony (because, view). Try to ignore the distant construction noise. It's inevitable, I guess.
- Mid-Morning: Camel ride and desert safari booked! This is the adventure I've been looking forward to.
- Anecdote Alert: The camel was… well, it was a camel. Smelly, grumpy, and surprisingly bumpy. I kept picturing myself sliding off, eaten by the desert. The guide, bless his heart, seemed to find my terror amusing.
- Afternoon: Dune bashing. Woo-Hoo! This is the real deal! The driver expertly maneuvers the vehicle through the dunes. Pure exhilaration followed by a slight wave of nausea. The view is amazing, and the desert winds. The feeling of sand between my toes, after the camel ride, is great.
- Rambling Time: The desert is huge. Beyond comprehension. You're just a speck. It's humbling, beautiful, and a little bit terrifying all at once. It makes you think about… well, everything. Life, death, the price of hummus.
- Evening: Shopping at the Dubai Mall. This is where my carefully crafted budget goes to die. So many stores. So many things. Feel overwhelmed. And then, I see the fountain show. It takes my breath away. Water, music, lights… It's pure, unabashed spectacle. Tears! There are tears again!
Day 3: Old Dubai vs. Modern Glitz (and the Search for Authentic Food)
- Morning: Explore the Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood. It's a welcome contrast to the soaring skyscrapers. The air smells of spices. Get lost in the narrow alleyways. Embrace the "getting lost" vibe.
- Observation: The wind towers are genius! Ancient air conditioning. These guys knew what they were doing.
- Mid-day: Abra ride across Dubai Creek. Cheap and cheerful. The water is a bit murky. Still, the views are great. You see the juxtaposition between the old and the new.
- Afternoon: Food Quest! Search for real, authentic Emirati food. Google's taking me for a loop.
- Emotional Reaction (Frustration): This is HARDER than I thought! Everything seems to be aimed at tourists with big wallets. Finally, find a small, local restaurant. The food is amazing! The flavors, the smells… It’s real. And I'm happy.
- Evening: Relax. Wind down. Maybe re-watch the fountain show just for fun.
Day 4: The Burj Khalifa and A Water Park (and Total Exhaustion)
- Morning: The obligatory Burj Khalifa visit. Book tickets well in advance! The elevator ride is terrifying, but the view from the top is incredible. You feel as though you can see everything.
- Quirky Observation: The air conditioning is so intense that you feel like you're in a refrigerated meat locker up there. Worth it, though.
- Afternoon: Water park fun at "Aquaventure". This is pure, silly, childish joy. I spend most of my time screaming like a banshee.
- Evening: Collapse. Order pizza. Sleep.
Day 5: Last Day Scramble and Goodbye
- Morning (if I'm lucky): Pack. Do that annoying, last-minute souvenir shopping. Try to avoid overspending and the urge to buy a ridiculously large, impractical rug.
- Mid-day: Last-minute brunch with a view. One last look at that sparkling skyline.
- Emotional Reaction (Bittersweet): So sad to leave. But also, really looking forward to my own bed, the AC, and the silence.
- Afternoon: Head to the airport. Traffic – a final, cruel reminder of Dubai's reality.
- Evening: Fly home. Already planning the next trip back. Because, Dubai.
Notes:
- This itinerary is subject to change. I'm a terrible planner.
- Hydrate! Drink more water than you think you need.
- Embrace the chaos. Laugh. Get lost. And be prepared to spend way more money than you anticipated.
- Most importantly: remember to enjoy the ride.
…And that's my potentially disastrous Dubai adventure in a nutshell. Wish me luck. I'm gonna need it.
Escape to Paradise: Felline's Hidden Gem B&B in Salento, Italy
Dubai Dream: Stunning 2BR Apartment with Breathtaking Views! - But Seriously, What's the Deal?
Okay, so "breathtaking views," huh? What's *actually* the view like? Is it just another beige box looking at another beige box?
Alright, let's be real. "Breathtaking" is a loaded word, I know. But genuinely, the view from this apartment… yeah, it's pretty darn good. It's not just a wall of concrete like some of the places I've stayed in. Picture this: I was there at sunset, and the sky? It was like a painter had gone absolutely wild with oranges, pinks, and purples. The Burj Khalifa was lit up, and it just… *sparkled*. I actually found myself just staring out the window for, like, a solid hour. My phone died from taking too many pictures – I swear! There's *some* construction going on next door (it’s Dubai, after all!), but honestly, the view from the balcony totally swallowed it up. One night, I swore I saw a sandstorm brewing way out on the horizon – looked like a giant, angry brushstroke of ochre. It was spectacular! Even though it made me clench my teeth because it delayed my fancy dinner plans. Typical Dubai.
How big is this "2BR" thing, really? Is it a glorified shoebox? Because I've seen some "2BRs" that are essentially studio apartments with an extra door.
Yeah, the 2BR classification is a minefield. I feel ya. This one? Actually spacious. Like, you could *almost* do cartwheels in the living room, but probably not. The master bedroom is decent-sized – I could easily fit my enormous suitcase *and* still have space to walk around. The second bedroom is a bit smaller, perfect for guests (or, you know, your hoard of souvenir camels, like I have). Seriously, you won't feel like you're constantly bumping into each other. Which is a major win, especially if you're traveling with someone who enjoys eating all of your snacks. Not saying any names...
Tell me about the kitchen. Is it just a microwave and a hope? Because *I* like to cook and eat.
Okay, the kitchen… now we’re talking! It's got all your basics, plus some extras. I'm a *terrible* cook, a complete disaster in the kitchen, but even *I* managed to whip up some instant ramen (hey, I was tired from sightseeing!). It had a decent-sized fridge, oven, hob… the works. It definitely wasn't one of those tiny hotel "kitchenettes" where you're afraid to open the cupboard in case the entire thing collapses. The counter space was actually pretty good. I even bought some fruit, which I totally didn't eat because, like, I was too busy eating shawarma and exploring, but still! It has that *potential* for cooking, and even I appreciated that. It felt… homey in a way. Even though I only used it to store my massive stash of emergency chocolate.
What about the location? Is it buried in the desert miles from civilization? Or is it actually convenient?
Location, location, location, right? Okay, it wasn't *right* on the beach – you'd have to take a quick taxi ride or even a bus. I did manage to walk one day... it was hot, folks. But it was definitely conveniently located. Close to some decent restaurants (that shawarma place, oh my GOD…), some shops, and, crucially, a metro station. The metro is FANTASTIC, actually! Seriously, use it! I wouldn't say it was in the heart of the absolute *craziest* stuff, like the Burj Khalifa, but it was definitely easy to get around. It’s a good balance, I'd say. Close enough to the action without being in the middle of total madness. Honestly, I was grateful every single day I didn’t have to deal with Dubai traffic. It has its own kind of beauty though, in an annoying way. I swear I saw a Ferrari with a flat tire once!
Is it noisy? I can't stand noisy places. I need my beauty sleep.
Okay, noise. That's a big one. I'm a light sleeper, so I get it. Generally speaking, it wasn't *terribly* noisy. You might hear some faint traffic sounds during the rush hour but nothing too distracting. The building itself seemed pretty quiet. I did experience a bit more noise on one particular night. I was woken up by a symphony of… construction. It was like a full-blown mechanical orchestra outside my window. I woke up, I slammed my head into the pillow, thinking 'Ugh!' but then I looked at the time, and... it was 5:00 AM. I mean, c'mon! But that was just that one night. Otherwise, it was pretty good. If you're really sensitive, maybe pack some earplugs, just in case. Consider it an investment in your sanity.
Air conditioning, essential, yes? Or roasting alive?
You will *need* air conditioning in Dubai. Full stop. It’s the law. This apartment had excellent A/C. Didn’t have to suffer even a little bit. I can’t stress this enough. I tested it, to be sure of course, by setting the thermostat to a freezing arctic blast. No problems at all. It was a beautiful, blessed relief from the sun.
The internet... good? Because I need to post my epic travel photos obviously.
The internet was fine! I mean, it wasn't lightning-fast, but good enough for posting photos that took a few seconds longer than usual. The speed seemed completely acceptable. I got all my Instagram uploads done without any issues, which is basically the most important thing, right? Video calls? Yes, those worked too. If you're a serious gamer, maybe inquire if the speeds are sufficient for you.
What's the vibe of the place? Is it all glitz and glam, or does it have a bit of personality?
Okay, this is a tricky one. It's definitely in a modern building, and it's decorated with the typical luxury you might find. Clean lines, neutral colors. And… the overall vibe? Kind of… neutral. It wasn’t cluttered with useless things, which was a plus. But it didn't exactly scream "quirky charm" either. Think upscale hotel room meets… well, another upscale hotel room, but a pretty nice one. It was comfortable, clean, and functional. I felt like I was staying in a designer showroom – which some people love. And if you just want a nice, clean comfortable place to sleep in, this placeStay By City
