Hi have lived in both Al Muneera and Al Zeina. There are pros and cons for each. Al Zeina will always be under the flight path and it is noisy. That said the apartments tend to be larger and the beach is bigger. With a child there are large open spaces to walk around so I think the feeling of space is great.
Your budget should get you something decent there, as prices on the larger villas and apartments are coming down. Avoid any apartments with a pool on top.
At Al Muneera you don't get the flight noise the units have more inclusions e.g fridge washer and dishwasher. try for on the island not off as there would be more road noise. Al Muneera is a smaller mass but you can walk around the island.Smaller beach.
Al Raha offers a bit for the money if you want an outdoor yard, but no beach and facilities may be some way from your villa.
Hope this helps.:)
I am moving in February to a different apartment not far from my current place. I would appreciate some advice on good companies that are not too expensive.:)
