Dubai today is a world-famous tourist landmark, attracting throngs of visitors from around the world. Its popularity as a holiday destination has surged in recent years, a testament to the success of the vision of the local government, who have invested heavily in turning Dubai into the tourist paradise it is today. Dubai benefits from a favourable climate, with a temperature that rarely falls below 15 C (59 F).
While summers can be hot and dry, with an average high of 40 C (104 F), winters are warm, with an average high of 23 C (73 F). Allied with pristine and well-maintained beaches, the weather and natural environment is reason enough to visit. However, it is arguably Dubai's man-made constructions which inspire most excitement. Dubai continues to challenge architectural convention, and has recently completed the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, which stands at an astonishing 828 metres.
Other examples of pioneering developments including the Palm Islands, which are three major commercial and residential infrastructures in the shape of palm trees. The islands will consist of 100 luxury hotels, exclusive residential beach villas, apartments, marinas, water theme parks, restaurants, hopping malls, sports facilities and health spas; they are eagerly anticipated.
For the discerning shopper looking for a Dubai deal, Dubai is heaven on earth. Known as the “shopping capital of the Middle East", it is home to the world’s largest shopping mall, the “Dubai Mall". This is the crowning glory in a group of around 70 fully air-conditioned malls in Dubai, which attract visitors from all around. Dubai is also known as the “City of Gold”; the Gold Souq, located in Deira, has up to 250 dedicated gold retail shops. The younger generations are not short of amusement on their Dubai holidays either; there are a number of theme parks located all across Dubai; notable examples include the famous Wild Wadi Water Park, located on Jumeriah Beach Road, and the world's largest indoor skiing arena, SkiDubai, which proves that with a little innovation, its possible to bring an authentic artic winter ski experience to hot, sunny Dubai.
International and Arabic food is available everywhere when you’re on a Dubai holiday, from small diners to hotels. All the major fast food franchises are present in Dubai and from American to Chinese to Indian; Dubai caters to everyone’s needs. With large investment pumped into transport, Dubai has become an accessible city, with multi-lane motorways, a bus service with 140 routes and an extensive taxi system (which in Dubai is the most frequent used means of transport).
The Dubai Metro is a state of the art, fully automated metro network running throughout the city. It runs both over ground and underground, and has carried 10 million passengers since opening in September 2009. For international visitors, Dubai is a well-connected travel hub, with many travel options and direct routes available from most of the world's major cities. Its outstanding airport has a constant flow of inbound/outbound flights and is one of the busiest airports in the world, serving 101 destinations in 61 countries across six continents - making Dubai very accessible from anywhere in the world.
On a holiday in Dubai, you will discover a unique mix of old and new extremes; a modern, ever-expanding metropolis which is home to an indigenous culture steeped in history and long-observed traditions. It is a truly mesmerising blend of history and modernity, sure to captivate any traveller.
The Dubai Marina / Marina Walk area
Trendy Dubai Marina offers a mesmerising blend of urban living allied with beach-front activities. Luxury yachts bob in the calm waters whilst al fresco dining is the order of the day. Within a short walk from your apartment, there are over a dozen restaurants offering a variety of cuisines, including Thai,Indian,Persian,Italian,Japanese and Lebanese.
*Spinneys Super Market is Located in the next building to Torch Tower, on the ground floor, facing the Marina Walk. *Carrefour Express is located 3 minutes walk away from Torch Tower. *Dubai Marina Mall has 160 retail outlets including Waitrose and a Deluxe Cinema. *The Dubai Marina metro is nearby, making it easy to visit many of Dubai's places of interest.

This apartment is in a good location, and was a convenient place for my husband and I and his sister and wife to each have our own bedroom and bathroom, in addition to comfortable community space. We ate breakfast in the kitchen daily to save money, and it was great to do laundry. We had all the amenities needed (laundry, Internet, cable, phone, access the front desk staff). There is a small market downstairs, and a spinney's close by in addition to the many restaurants in the marina. The metro stop is about 10-15 minutes walk.
The building is across the street from the Mariott, which we used as a complimentary drop off spot for a tour who would only drop us off at a hotel. There were taxis outside the building consistently.
I would definitely recommend this property for an economical and comfortable stay in a city that can get pricey fast!

“apartment was perfectly set up and location was excellent.”
We arrived at the apartment at 2am to find that all that we needed for the next morning was waiting for us. Milk, eggs, bread etc. were in the fridge. The view was amazing and we were surrounded by restaurants and even a grocery shop next door. A short walk took us to the beach and the Baristi Bar. Patrick could not have been more helpful throughout, even when we had a few problems getting his payment to him. We will be back without a doubt!!
We stayed at the Torch apartment over the New Year period and had a wonderful time. Patrick's apartment is in a great location and has fantastic views over the marina. The marina is a great area to eat with lots of restaurants and there is a metro link a few minutes walk away. The apartment was spotless and the provisions that Patrick arranged for when we arrived were greatly appreciated together with his recommendations of places to visit. We were very impressed with everything about the holiday, particularly the apartment, Dubai is a great place, with loads to do and we will definitely return!

“Great apartment , Great location and Great service”
Having never booked and apartment through trip advisor before we were slightly apprehensive, but we need not have worried. We couldn't of asked for a better apartment or service for our holiday . The accommodation was excellent the apartment was extremely well equipped and beautifully presented. With amazing views of the Marine by day and it comes alive with lights by night. The Entertainer voucher books Patrick generously allowed us to use saved us money on a variety of things including restaurants and water parks. We had maid service and received a more than generous provision pack on arrival . We would not hesitate to come back here and will be recommending this to our friends and family in the future.
Response: The secret is out! Many thanks for mentioning the Entertainer Vouchers - In my apartment, guests will find Entertainer Family (2 books) and Entertainer Fine Dining Book - they contain hundreds of buy one get one free discount vouchers for casual dining restaurants, cafes and nightspots, informal dining and take-away, sports and pleasure and leisure activities plus Dubai's best restaurants (including restaurants in top 5 Star Hotels). There are some really great attractions plus tonnes of eating places where you can save lots of money! Thanks again for your excellent Review and hope to see you again in the future.

We rented Patricks apartment for a week in May. We arrived from Beijing tired and hungry and found the apartment beautifully presented with a "starter pack" which included bread, milk, butter, variety pack of cereals, water, orange juice, shampoo, shower gel etc etc. Now that's service above and beyond!!
The views from the apartment overlooking the Marina are absolutely fantastic and our teenage daughter was beside herself with excitement when she saw them and her room complete with flat screen cable tv.
The pool area was loveely too and the sun shone there all day although it requires moving once or twice to stay in the sun. Not a problem. There is a state of the art gym with great views and sauna and steam room also available (in case your not hot enough outside!!!)
We had a minor problem on our arrival and a rep fromthe management company arrived within 10 minutes and resolved it. We cannot praise them enough. The cleaning staff were extremely pleasant and helpful.
Congratulations Patrick. You have a cracking apartment there and we look forward to our next trip to it.
Response: Delighted you had such a good time and thank you for your Cracking Review! After such a long journey, especially from Beijing a generous welcome pack is bit of a lifesaver! The pool area is very nice and spacious, great for entertaining the kids. My property manager is on site and can respond to any issues very quickly and efficiently. They do a great job of managing the property and believe in going the extra mile. Hope to see you back in the future.

“Excellent apartment would stay there again”
If you have any fears or doubts concerning the rental of this apartment please put them to the back of your mind. From the moment I was in touch with Mr O'Neill, (Patrick we call him now as we like to consider him as a friend of the family) everything was smooth sailing. The apartment is in an excellent location, the decor is tastefully designed throughout and the cleanliness of all rooms was superb. Maidservice was provided and all linen and towels were exchanged. The cooking area, appliances, utensils, crockery was of an excellent standard and the kitchen was put to use on a number of occasions, although there are many restaurants and cafes close by. The numerous restaurants cater for all tastes in cuisine and are reasonably priced. The nearby supermarkets carry a good selection of both fresh and frozen food so if you decide to eat in - no problem - everything you need is available. In conclusion i would say that i would recommend this apartment to anyone as it really is beautiful and the exceptional standard and service i received from Patrick was greatly appreciated as he put my mind at rest instantly. When we plan our next visit to Dubai my husband, daughter and i will definately enquire as to the availability of this apartment - it is home from home
Response: Thank you for your terrific Review and kind comments. You are right the location is truely excellent - Just off the Marina Walk with its array of International Restaurants, Super Markets (Carrefour & Spinney's 3 mins walk), ATMs, Souvenir Shops, Muslim Prayer Room etc. Also close to the Metro, Beach, Golf and Shopping Malls!
It was lovely to have you as a guest and I look forward to welcoming you and your family back in the future.

“Fantastic Apartment!!!”
I have to say that this apartment is fantastic, high floor with a GREAT view, nicely furnished, and near everything we wanted. Great building and very easy to rent. I could not recommend this any more for an apartment rental in Dubai! Trust me, you wont be dissapointed!
We recentely came back from a wonderful holiday. Dubai is a great place and this appartment gave an extra dimension to our stay. The marina is the best place to be for a family with kids. The view from our windows was amazing and the apparment was full of light which gives one lots of energy. The appartment was decorated in a very stylish way. The staff was unbelievably helpful, flexible and dealt with any issues immediately and very professionally. Metro is at walking distance and the road is very pleasant. Patrick, the landlord of this appartment is also a very kind and helpful person. He sent us a long review of the things which we could do with kids before our arrival. Thank you Patrick for all the help. We are looking forward to going back to Dubai and staying at this apartment.

“Stunning View of Marina, Great Location, Customer Satisfaction is King!”
Had a delightful stay, we could not get enough of the stunning view. Apartment has a very modern bright look with floor to ceiling windows in every room and a nice balcony. Everything we needed on arrival and more had been left for us which I thought was a good start to our stay and showed great customer focus (eggs, milk, butter, sugar, tea, coffee, orange juice,water, etc).
Location is best for Dubai Marina being close to Marina Walk restaurants, Spinneys and JBR Walk a short walk away. The atmosphere along Marina Walk is fantastic especially on the weekend evenings.
I was pleasantly surprised by the Wi-Fi, it was fast and very handy for planning days out.
This is the first time I have used a Holiday Rental and it will not be the last!

“Fabulous Apartment”
There is no other word for this apartment other than "fabulous". The two bedrooms (one double and one twin) are spacious and well fitted out. The kitchen is large and fully equiped with all the necessary facilities. The lounge is stunning... beautifully furnished and with amazing views over the marina.
Location wise the flat is on the 37th floor of a modern and classy tower building with a very friendly and helpful concierge area. The beach can be viewed from the apartment and is a 15 minute walk away. The restaurants and shops round the marina are even closer. The nearest metro station is a 15-20 minute walk.
During our stay, we had regular visits from the property management company who kept the apartment spotless and also sorted out a couple of minor issues which cropped up during our stay.
This apartment definately has the "wow" factor and we loved it. In fact, within a day of returning to the UK, I contacted the owner to book up again later this year.
first the photos do not do the Torch any favours as its better than its pics on the internet. the torch is beautifully located on the Dubai Marina with lots of adventures, its 10mins walk from metro train which connects to the airport, the dubai mall( with the amazing dancing fountains and Burj Khalifah the tallest building in the world) plus most of the biggest shopping centres and attractions. the Jameirah beach is not far either, there is spiney's supermarket which also does home delivery. the property has a shared sauna, gym and swimming pool which are very clean with a life guard and a children's pool. the property overlooks the lovely marina walk with lots of facilities like restaurants and family entertainment, spiney's supermarket is on the walk too five mins from the property. MY EXPERIENCE. from the start to the end it was all A+, first Patrick is a real gentleman who understood my needs as a mother with very young children. on ringing him you could think we had met before as he was very approachable and willing to help whatever my requests were, he agreed to let us into the property as early as 6.55am though check in is at 3pm and even at that time there were two lovely ladies who welcomed us and even took the trouble to carry my laggage into the lift and into the flat, not to mention the two men at the front desk who walked to the car on our arrival, welcomed us and carried all my laggage into the building without even asking them. the welcome pack was the best part of the arrival because in a new place and not knowing where to start, the milk, bread fresh fruit, eggs, cereals, bottled drinking water and lots more were all there and i did not have to worry abt shopping atleast for a few days. the property was very clean and beautifully decorated. the rooms were spacious with beautiful views of the marina. there was even a spare sofabed in the living room for my sister in law. we never watched tv alot but my children found all their favourate programmes and the internet was really fast too. the property was cleaned in the middle of our stay at my own convinience. the men at the front desk were always willing to help like to get a taxi in case we needed it and also advise us on what activities or places to go, not to mention that Patrick was only an email away in case we needed help or information to help enjoy our adventure.(he offered to help). All in all with a beautiful place to stay, with lovely helpful people and that very nice weather the whole experience was enjoyable, the only catch with this is that my children and partner are asking to try the torch one more time as we never accomplished our mission, like visiting abu dhabi, so come November we will be Patrick's guests once again God willing and For Patrick thank you for letting us share this home with every one else who has been lucky enough to stay there. not to mention that it was the cheapest i came across in my own range and my deposit came back to me really soon after informing Patrick that i had come back from my holiday. thank you mr O'neill
Response: Many thanks for such a splendid review!! I'm really pleased you had such a good experience both with my apartment, the level of service and my staff in Dubai. I take pride in the apartment and believe in offering an excellent service and going the extra mile to ensure my guests have a very pleasant stay and get good value for money.
You were the perfect guest and lovely to deal with and I certainly look forward to welcoming you and your family back in November.
