Hotels in DXB and SIN..

Will spend 2-3 days in DXB and 2-3 days in SIN, any hotel suggestions?

DXB--Arabian Courtyard
email mgr direct for airline rate

In Dubai I did the Four Points by Sheraton at Bur Dubai. We used hotel points so it was free, but it is a convenient hotel located within walking deistance to some of the major attractions and virtually across the street from a mall. At night the area is quite busy with peltny of taxis coming up and down the street. Better yet there is metro stop near by.
There is an Indian restaurant in the hotel that is to die for.

Depends what you eant to do in Dubai ... do you want a beach hotel ( more expensive ) or one more 'inland' near the shops ( cheaper ) ??

Thanks everybody. Beach hotel not important, we'll get plenty of sun on the ship and later back in the USA.

Arabian Courtyard Hotel & Spa - Dubai - 4 Star Central Dubai Hotel

near the creek and the spice/gold souks
next door is a museum
they have a nice pool and it seems like a very local type neighborhood

I think we had special check-in/outextended times and bfast included for $100

For SIN what is your budget? Hotels here are very expensive....

The best i'd recommend is Marina Bay Sands, casino is there and the pool on the top overlooking the city and bay.

In the city so many options, expensive but less than marina bay sands:

- Swissotel and Carlton are close to everything
- Novotel Clarke Quay is in the touristy area and sometimes have specials

Send me a PM if you want more info

Check our the Accor and Golden Tulip hotels in Dubai. Near the Mall of the Emirates, near to the Metro station, and can be very cheap relatively for Dubai.

We're booked at Arabian Courtyard and Swissotel??? in SIN. Will cruise on Voyager Of The Seas from DXB to SIN.
And.....we'll "pay attention" to the life boat drill!!

Suggest that you also use the pool(s) to practice your swimming, preferably wearing your day clothes !!! :D

Yes, good idea about doing laps in a pool. We can also practice in March down on Orange Beach.

I'm booked into Novotel Mall of the Emirates in Dubai. We get a preferred rate with them, I guess US does a lot of business with Accor. I'll let you know how it is when I return.

83 USD a night, pretty cheap compared to the other hotels I saw.
