Restaurants. Hotels. Experiences
Every Sunday, The Croft in Dubai Marina does a roast and it goes all day long – from 12:30pm till 11pm. We have been a few times – over the summer months, as well as winter. It’s such a homey restaurant – and bonus points as well for being of walking distance to our place […]

Last Wednesday night, we walked over to The Croft – a few ladies from the building, and I. It was Bingo Night Wednesdays. The fabulous thing about living in the Dubai Marina is that there’s always something going on in this neighbourhood. I know there’s a lot of you that live in nice big villas […]

Early October, we had the opportunity to review the Turkey Takeaway offering from Dubai Marriott Harbour Hotel & Suites. We got the kids and ourselves dressed up in festive attire – all red and green, christmas hats and all – and walked across the road to my brother’s place. I remember standing in the lift […]

Just before leaving Dubai with the little ones for a few weeks, the husband and I sneaked in one last dinner date. Prime 52 it was – a short stroll from home. We contemplated driving over just in case either of us break a sweat – but the idea of getting into a car when […]

It’s been a long while since we have been to the Observatory at Marriott Harbour. Did you know that they have revamped the entire 52nd floor, and it’s now two parts – one remains Observatory Lounge, and the other – a steakhouse, Prime 52? Observatory has launched a new ladies night offer and we walked […]

I don’t always do a post on ladies nights but I did feel that this one deserved a little write-up of its own. The Croft first opened its doors in 2015. We used to live right opposite the Marriott, and typically I get quite excited about new F&B openings, particularly when it is so close […]

Having been to the Marriott Harbour numerous times over the years, particularly when we used to live next door – the Friday Brunch was one of many on our to-do list. Off we went one hot summer afternoon with the family to review the Sky High Brunch at the Observatory, situated on the 52nd floor. […]

We watched as this new cafe slowly appeared behind the Marriott : Counter Culture Cafe, hmm. It’s a 5 minutes walk from home, yet over the last two months since it has launched there was never any talk about it from friends, nor did it ever appear on my Entertainer App or any other deal […]

Writing about your experience at a spa treatment is not easy. With food you can take a lot of pretty photos, from this angle, that angle, aerial view, macro shot, and it makes your blog post looks very….. interesting. It makes you hungry 🙂 When it comes to spas, unless you’re quite happy to display […]

Photo credits to the lovely CG 🙂 I sent an email on the 25th of January 2013, to the Dubai Marriott Harbour & Suites, asking them if they had any Ladies Night. They had then replied to say unfortunately not, but they do have Happy Hour, which we have been to so many times in the […]

Last week, I was invited to try out one of the treatments in Saray Spa. Funnily enough this is one of the few spas that I have actually been to a few times before. So, you can say that my write-up is definitely a fair one, as I’ve always had high regards of its staff […]

Not many places do lunches. I had a few stray Entertainer vouchers at home in the weekend and I started to call to book and most said they only opened for dinner. Stinky. Observatory, a short stroll from us was fortunately open for lunch! 🙂 With the 2 for 1, you can have a classy, […]

Can’t believe we live so close but the first time that I went up there was just a few weeks ago! Was there again last night, and the night before. Hehehe. Absolutely packed. Thanks to the very sweet Vivian (a guy!) who attended to us and kept me happy with glasses of Malbec. Observatory provides […]

I’m so excited about this one I’m blogging about it even before going there. Coffee is well known for its anti oxidant properties as well as being a natural stimulant. This ritual begins with a full exfoliation using Black Arabic Coffee and Dead Sea Salts to stimulate and cleanse the body. Once complete a mask […]

And just when you thought milk and honey couldn’t taste any better….. 🙂 This blog is probably for all the ladies out there, and the few men who are into pampering themselves, or would like to get a gift for their lovely wives. About a week ago I won a whole bunch of stuff, one […]
