Dazzling Dubai
Our first impression was that it was an amazing place. We couldn’t quite work out how they built it on the water. The greeting we received from the staff was superb. The reception area was beautifully decorated in gold and red, so it had a true Arabian feel. After a speedy and efficient check-in we were even given an early check-in room which was located on the East Tower wing. It was a lovely room with pleasant decor, and a large bathroom which opened up into the bedroom. So, ladies if you wished to have a bath and watch TV it could be done! Our room was located on the 10th floor with views overlooking the Sea. There was enough space for two adults and one child to live comfortable like kings and queens for the week.
So, let’s get to the most important bits! The water park is amazing, even I became a BIG kid for the week. There are so many areas to choose from! We loved the Lazy River and the Leap of Faith did look great, but I have to admit I wasn't brave enough and did chicken out! We also visited Dolphin Cove which is right next door and got a quick look at the dolphins, very cute.
But, if you do fancy chilling around the pool or beach area there is ample space and fantastic facilities within the hotel. There are also so many restaurants to choose from and again I can honestly say all were superb.
We did venture out for the day and evening and took ourselves down to the OLD gold souk which is an experience in itself. Then we made the trip to the New Town and amazing downtown area to see the Burj Khalifa and the dancing water fountains – this is a must!
So much more to tell you all about, but you will have to experience it for yourselves or contact me, it’s good to talk!! I look forward to hearing from you.
