Dubai Marina

I have bought my 1BR in this building last year and I am very satisfied with the quality of the apartment and the quality of the building in general. It has been recently renewed and it it very clean and comfortable. It is very close to marina walk, to Barasti beach, to Media City and also to the tram station. Furthermore the Carrefour supermarket is just at the ground floor. My suggestion for investors is to buy a property here.

I lived in Paloma Tower, 33rd floor 1 bedroom apartment, facing JBR. Overall I would say Paloma Tower is a nice building in terms of the construction quality, location and layout, although it does feel a bit dated. The view of the ocean is of course only partial due to the apartments at JBR blocking – but you still get an ocean view feel. My one major complaint would be due to the building maintenance. My bathtub has leaked since the day I moved in. I used Emaar's app to call a maintenance person – they came three times and were never able to fix it. But I think this is more due to Emaar's app than a Paloma Tower-specific issue. There is also some road noise, but on the 33rd floor you are high enough where it isn't really an issue. Generally it gets quiet around 9 PM or so, though (Dubai) you are bound to hear some Lambo d-bags whipping around through the night.

The building has decent sized apartments, but the whole building is run down and not maintained properly. They turn off your access card and then force you to pay for another. Block access to your parking space, block access to the gym. The gym is full of broken equipment and looks more like a garage. The building management do nothing to help and this leaves a situation where the residents argue with security, who become aggressive. I have witnessed several major arguments and near fights in reception. The apartment size, location and value seem good, however you will instantly regret signing a lease at Sulafa tower.

We stay in 3 bedroom flat right in the corner with full Marina view and bright. There’s no traffic noise in this position but the speaker of mosque in the opposite side is really loud. Kitchen is too small and bad quality. Leaking from the A/c above kitchen ceiling happens many times Toilets are also bad quality and smelly. A/C is noisy and old. Water will pour inside windows when it’s heavy rain The swimming pool is too small to swim. Parking entrance is narrow Less traffic jam in this area of Marina. No visitor parking in building but there are always available public parking lots outside except weekend afternoon and evening

This is a great building with a great location. The best part of the Building is that all the flats here are bigger in size as compared to most of Marina Flats. One Beds are with 2 Bathrooms and size is from 900 to 100 square feet. 2 Bed Room Flats are with 2 Bathrooms from 1150 to 1250 Squarefeet. 5 Floor building with 2 Lifts and no need to wait for ages to for lift. Gym and Pool is decent. Really good value for money and close to tram, metro, beach & Marina Mall

We have been living in this tower for 5 years and have lived here in a couple of different apartments. What is good about it? • Brick and mortar building – less fire hazard • Good layouts What is not so good? • Old building • Maintenance issues – very bad sewage smell comes in summers in the apartments, common areas and balconies. Makes it impossible to sit. • Water keeps dripping from chiller all year round • The building management is not very cooperative. • Lot of high rise building coming up under the Dubai Harbour project so view will also go away.

Hey, I have been staying in Marina Pinnacle for the last 2 years now. One of the friends told me that it's not a good building but I feel it's an amazing building. Specially Tower A, facing Marina side. I have stayed in many places within Marina and JBR for the last 10 years in Dubai but this place is best-suited location-wise. Cabs are just down the building, Tram is 5 min walk at a visual distance, Metro is 10 min walk. Some of the best beach clubs in Dubai - Barasti & Zero Gravity are within walking distance. Skydive is at walking distance. You come out of the building and there is your Marina walk. The building is surrounded by over 4 supermarkets and 4 pharmacies. There is a dry cleaning and saloons inside the building itself. There are 4 pools, a jacuzzi sauna, a big gym and all most everything you can imagine. The security of the building is pretty tight but i consider it as good. It should be tight to keep the unwanted elements under control. Rents are low too.

Big apartments, decent views but the apartment is get worse with time. The yellow water in cisterns and taps will make your life miserable. The moisture due to old AC ducts will keep the entire apartment wet and moist whenever they are off or above 23deg. The tiles in the kitchen are falling down. The traps in the balcony smell of filth. The traps will keep on clogging every 2 months. Gym machines are damaged and not working anymore.

This building is my favorite because of the location, easy access to metro, tax, marina walk, beach, restaurants, bars ... you name it. Right place to relax with 3 by 6 meter balcony. You don't need to go any where else, everything is here. Shopping mall is 5 minutes walk, metro is 2 minutes walk, beach is 7 minutes walk. Restaurant and bars are 1 minute walk. Massage and salons are around the building. I am enjoying staying here. Don't pay attention for picky people writing negative comments.

It is a pitty that such a good tower, best location not to have good parking solution. Best Gym and swimming pool and good security. Building is very clean and good place to live a luxury life. Parking is the headache. First to get to your parking, very narrow passage and second there is no place for trucks to load and unload furniture. I believe they should allocate couple of parking at the ground floor for this purpose.

Great place to live. Walking distance to so many attractions and of course the beach. Apartment design is good, although the kitchens are slightly dark, like most of the Emaar apartments in their part of Marina. Frustratingly management decided to privatise any spare parking there is no guest parking making it really frustrating when having friends over. Being close to the boulevard at JBR, there is a regular flow of loud super cars driving around in the evening but it’s not too bad. In today’s climate you should be looking at 95-105k per year.

Many issues with building, weekly fire alarms day and night, huge number of deliveries clog lifts, major noise from 7am - 10pm, 7 days week from weights for any tenant in 901, 902 etc. Many short term apartments under airbnb. Location good, pity management company don’t care about tenants.

Sulafa is one of the cheapest tower in marina you can move in as of date but for it you get a nice sized apartment. My experience is very nice as I'm on high floor but I've read of people having light problems at 1pm but I believe it's more a problem in the lower floors. The view as well changes massively depending on the floor you live in and which side is the apartment facing. Me for example I have an unobstructed view of Burj al Arab, Burj Khalifa, part sea view and part golf view. Can't complain at all!! Location is fantastic as you can have very easy access to SZR without any traffic at all and tram station just across the street. The negatives are for sure the temporary cladding replacement noises that should be complete by the end of the year, the pool being covered so no possibilities of tanning, and the gym having a bit outdated machinery. Parking as well are a bit narrow and no guest parking, which is a common thing for all Dubai Marina area buildings in general.

Foul smell in the corridors. Roaches infestations, no matter how many times I called exterminators, they come back. Security is aggressive and act like bouncers. I'm not even finishing my contract, that's how bad it is here.

The tower itself self looks ok. Nothing too special. Staff is very friendly and helpful, the building has amazing facilities. The gym is great. It has two, one for cardio, one for weights. The Pool is ok. It also has an observatory deck, which I have not had the chance to visit yet. Now, the flat. We are renting a 3 bedroom flat on a higher floor (65). The view is phenomenal. You can see the palm, you can see jbr and Dubai Eye. The view is gorgeous. The size is ok. It has a separate kitchen, which is nice. One huge negative that must not be ignored is the noise/ dust. When I say noise, I mean it. The wind is LOUD. The windows and doors shake, and there is a very loud whistle. We hear it every day and night. Apart from that, you hear everything from the street and neighbours. You can hear every car, construction, tram. You can also hear your neighbours conversations and when they use the loo. Need I say more? Don’t waste your time and money no matter how nice people make it seem.

Potentially a stunning building. Common areas smells like garbage. A/C smells like garbage. Building is terribly dirty. Room where garbage tips are kept stinks! Doors from parking garage filthy. A good clean could have made huge difference. Windows only washed once in 7 months we’ve been here. Gym equipment broken and old

Great location and great building in theory but ruined by all of the flatshares. Massive issues with access cards etc

This place is excellent to live with nearby transportation like trams and metros. The marina walk is blissful. Really enjoyed living here. Opposite to the building there was some construction happening for parks and water taxis. Once the project is completed, i'm sure the place is good enough and value for money to live in.

It is a pity that the poor quality work of the employees in the building (security) make this review badly that it should. The building is nice but the employees shout at you with absolutely lack of respect, you feel guilty when you forgot your access card. So disrespectful! We are thinking in leaving the apartment because of this security company. Of course we won't go to any building managed by the same security company.

We lived at the apartment for 1 year. ''One of the best we have been told'' very expensive of course. We had multiple issues with the bad smell, AC not working well as there is 1 AC's remote control for the 2 bedrooms.Imagine during the summer. It was a nightmare. Every day you face new people at the pool area.. you don't knows who they are...The pool is not well maintained, dirty...Multiple leak at the parking area, my brand new car has been damaged because of the leak coming from the AC above the car. Stay away from this building!

The Review's might sound a little harsh but it is the truth. No Building with no advantages but this one has only 1 so will dish it out and move on to the real issues. 1- Location Location Location: Very close to tram which connects u to the Metro. Very close to Marina Walk and hence Marina Mall (15 mins brisk walk). And lastly, easy access to SZR With that out of the way, let me explain the hell bit 1- Noise: If u live in a lower floor u r doomed. Noise comes from the Tram, the inconsiderate drivers and their tooting, and the non-stop construction. 2- Neighbours: I dont understand what is wrong with Neighbours in Dubai. inconsiderate, unclean, dodgy ... the list is endless. What bugs me most is how they treat the garbage room. Garbage is either left on the floor attracting pests and what have u, or dropped down the chute but with chute door left open causing the entire floor to smell. 3- Foul Smell: There seems to be a garbage problem in Marina in General and Pinnacle tower has its share. A terrible smell comes out of the car park and sometimes it creeps up into the floor if the Chute is left open. dont you dare having the window open when entering or leaving the car park. 4- The Car Park: the tiniest Car Park ever. if u have an SUV u better be a good driver. one parking space regardless how many bedrooms the flat is. 5- Maintenance: Haven't had to get them to fix anything but the building itself is in bad shape. there is usually one lift out of service. mould building up around AC vents and the odd maintenance jobs they carry out like painting the stair case in the summer. 6- Security: a hit and mess. some are nice, others are awful. the building itself is not secure and attracts a lot of dodgy visitors. they have installed a new security system but still. 7- Traffic: Horrendous

We had the worst time of our lives while living on this property. The water supply in this building is perpetually yellow - it never goes away. The drainage is a hassle too. The maintainence guy will charge you through your nose and he will fix things with an expiry date. Do not for a second think that he fixed it perfectly! As someone else said on here, kiss good bye to your security deposit! Just when you think that the flaw is within the building, trust me when I say it extends all the way to the management row in the accounts too. We had to chase them for 3 months for our deposit money. That too, they found silly opportunities to cut it into half!!

Lovely flat, nice finishings although a few things keep going wrong such as the toilet, boilers etc - unfortunately its at that stage now where you have to get a few things fixed. Building is great, staff are great, but sadly the fire alarms keep going off, pretty much every day so everyone just ignores them. Location is of course amazing, although allow an extra 10 minutes to get out of the building at night if going by car/taxi due to the traffic, I find the traffic in the mornings absolutely fine, but I start work at 8am. Also my view is stunning which of course I have to pay top dollar for, and sadly live opposite Atelier M night club on the other side of the marina which is extremely noisy till 3am 5 days a week pretty much, along with the party boats down in the marina, appreciate this is the Marina and there will be some noise, but not to this extent. Been in the building 2 years, but time to move out.

Having been living here for almost a year, I concluded that the building administration was mainly concerned about money at the time of construction! At first, the building looks luxury, but there is a ton of drawbacks, which one would start noticing after some time. The parking is awful, especially for those on B2 and B3 level. The parking entrance is so narrow, you will think twice every time before driving in and out. The apartment walls are so thin, we hear sewage water in the bedroom every time someone is flushing the toilet! Also, it was very stressful when we woke up some day, and found black worms all over our bathroom floor! Apparently, they came out of drainage hole.. oh, and the drainage hole, the one in the kitchen, always smells like canalization so we had to tape it. Also, it happened three times: there was a smell coming out of ventilation in my bedroom for 4-5 hours. I understand that sometimes sewage pipes can break, but it is really the cheap ventilation that brings all that awful smell into the apartment! To conclude, if I had a choice to move back in this building again, I would think five times and check all the details I mentioned above carefully.

The fire alarm jumps in the building daily, morning or late night all days of the week. Guards are not controlling the parking strict enough, so tenants can find unknown cars on their parking and it will remain there for a long time, all guards can do is put a note on the glass and offer you to call police yourself if the car remains there for more than a day. Re-painting parking driveway and conducting repair works with elevators regardless of peak hours or comfort of tenants. The building is no longer pet-friendly, pet owners sign-up undertaking letters with the building and forced to use only 1 elevator in this skyscraper ( imagine expectation time). These are all recent events. A year or so ago I wouldn't even think of moving, but now thinking to switch.
