2BR+Maid | Unfurnished | Sea View | Vacant

I moved here a few years ago, and I find this place to be truly a once in a life time experience. The beach below is the probably the best beach in the world. It's lively, clean, safe and always festive. It has something for everyone. It has great views. Admittedly the noise from one or two clubs is loud on the weekends, but it's not nearly as bad as it used to be. I think dubai municipality has put some volume restriction. That being said, you have the added bonus of being part of fairmont hotel and have access to nakheel mall. I don't think there is a better place to live.

As others have stated, the noise around this building is off the chart! Especially considering the amount you'll pay to live here. Surrounded by open air raves. It's like a circus. My only advice - try and view apartments after 10pm on a Friday. September to June is the worst when weeknights are also a nightmare. Weekends are just another level. For practically 10 months of the year you can forget about sleep. These rediculous night clubs have the added bonus of creating chaotic traffic so all you hear are car horns when everyone starts leaving at the exact same time. No gym. You have to pay for a year membership to use the one in the hotel.

Will be quick: 1. Noise! Unbelievable and beyond belief that the outdoor clubs at West Beach have been given free rein to blast (and I mean blast!) their music every night until 1-2am. This includes weekdays. Weekends are a whole other level of crazy! This by far is the reason I'll be leaving South Residence after many happy years. 2. Pool is really nice. 3. No dedicated gym facilities within the building. You've got to pay for membership at the Fairmont hotel and then use the hotel gym or the one in North residence. You get other benefits included with membership, such as beach access etc. Just keep in mind that starting rate is around 4500 AED per person per year (at time of writing).
