I bought them in ACE, in Garden centre...very nice all of them but EXPENSIVE! 10 days back I went to Dragonmart and I've found very nice looking and cheap furniture...! compared with what I got from ACE/Garden centre, and I spent there.....I told myself...even if they won't last long, even if they last only for 2 years ...I can buy 3 times and I can have always new items!;)

I've agreement for external windows with Tool Time; I've decided to clean them once a month, but you can call only for 1 service, or every 3 months, every 6 months....as you like. very efficient and not expensive at all. and they are so nice and helpful!!:) you can call - if you wish - [b'>800 88[/b'> do you mind letting us know how much is not expensive? We have a 5 bed villa and was recently quoted 900AED by another company If you call just once I think they charge you little more...I've contract and I'm paying below 400 aed each time

I emailed but so far....no replies... this morning I had 3 cleaners here with my husband and they cleaned all the area in front of my villa, and not only,,, now it's very nice...we left algae on the sand, on top of big garbage bags to dry...so the tractor trailer can carry them easily....I hope so. And I hope algae doesn't come again...at least for few months... Now the sea is inviting me to go....I've to go....;)

Riva Club at Shoreline Apartments on The Palm is lovely. Has great beach and pool. Sure there will be guys but not the "eye spy brigade" that you get on public beaches ie. JBR public beach. AED 100 but has all facilities. HTH is that beach open even for non residents?

of course I can tell you....but you have to consider how many rooms in the villa, how big is the kitchen, how many bathrooms, the size of living area, pave yard, the patio, veranda, pergola,...2 full days....8 people... each villa is different from other one ..and each quote too in which area are you moving???also this has to be considered.
