Anyone living actually in Palm Jumeirah Shoreline Apartments?

Hi Ladies,

We came to a negotiation point with a LL in Shoreline Apartments but then we have been warned by someone that Chiller Fee/ AC bill can reach up to 1800 Dirhams per month! We knew that Chiller fee is excluded from the rent and paid by the tenant unlike in other apartments in Greens..etc

It is an A type mid-floor left hand sided one -Shoreline residents will understand what I mean- and
I was surprised by this warning cause even when we were visiting the apartment it was not that hot like in a vacant villa.

Can anyone actually living in Shorelines suggest what is the cost of AC or are there any cost of living there except the rent? - Community Service charges & Maintenance charges are taken care by the LL-

Thank you so much!

It obviously varies. Winters our bills are about 100dhs per month, our most expensive summer bill was last month and it was 800dhs - and that's with a full house and most rooms running AC. The biggest charge is the capacity charge which happens quarterly. Ours is about 1400dhs a quarter for 3 bed. You should check if you or your landlord will pay the capacity charge. Our DEWA bill is never more than 800dhs.

If you use the search post above and input shoreline there is something about palm district cooling on the different threads I did actually but couldn't find something really actual as most of the costs are changing increasingly here. Anyway, thanks Saralou, will double check to see if you say so.. <em>edited by xN on 10/09/2014</em>
