Rove La Mer Beach | Best places to stay in Dubai

"This colourful hotel on La Mer Beach, in the seaside neighbourhood of Jumeirah, belongs to homegrown hospitality brand Rove which aims to create fun, affordable hotel options that work well for couples and families (all rooms come with a sofa bed for accompanying kids and 30% of rooms are connecting). There’s an almost Californian vibe to the public spaces, with everything designed to give a holiday feel, from painted surfboards and funky murals, to a useful laundromat with washing machines covered in pictures of tropical fish. Rove encourages guests to get social, and there’s volleyball, table football and Jenga available, as well as a fully-licensed poolside sundeck. " - Nicola Chilton
