Booking: Le Méridien Mina Seyahi Beach Resort & Waterpark, Dubai Marina
Le Meridien Mina Seyahi Beach Resort & Waterpark, Dubai Marina is a category 5 hotel, available from 35,000 points per night.
Jean-Maximilien stayed at this hotel twice: the first time using a free night certificate obtained with the Marriott Bonvoy™ Business American Express® Card. The second one using points.
During our first booking for the Dubai Airshow, he got us a very nice upgrade to the Presidential Suite, after negotiating through chat but also by email. Jean-Maximilien also told them that we were celebrating an event.
When making a second reservation, no upgrade was possible, as the hotel was full.
Earning Marriott Bonvoy Points
The best way to earn Marriott Bonvoy points for free stays at more than 7,000 hotels around the world is with the Marriott Bonvoy® American Express®* Card (and/or the Marriott Bonvoy® Business American Express®* Card).

And each year, you’ll earn a certificate for one free hotel stay (35,000 point value) and 15 Elite nights toward your Marriott Bonvoy status.

Photo report from the Presidential Suite
Lounge
The Presidential Suite is the same size as the hotel’s Club Lounge.
The lounge is vast, sober and chic at the same time. The purple hues awaken the decor. We can easily have people over, up to 6. A bar is even available if you want to call on a bartender for a more lively evening.
The bay windows offer a beautiful view of the sea and the facilities.
Bedroom
As we had said we were there to celebrate an event – 11 years of marriage (the symbolic milestone of 10 years couldn’t really be celebrated abroad) – the hotel surprised us with a beautiful decoration on the bed and in the bathroom. The room is spacious and chic, just like the lounge with wood-coloured walls and light furniture.
There is a desk with a large mirror above and a small lounge area.
Bathroom
The bathroom is classic, large and in shades of beige. There is a corner bathtub as well as a shower and toilet. A water closet is also available for guests, accessible through the lounge.
Terrace
Finally the big advantage of this suite, is its large private terrace, allowing us to enjoy the view and relax. The water games in the water park can spoil the atmosphere a bit, but it is still a very nice terrace.
