Atlantis the Palm board question?

[CSTUARTt1980]

So we are looking to stay at the atlantis from 8th August for 3 nights. Prices at the moment for room only is £592, half board is £1054. Just wondering if anyone who has stayed can confirm if it is worth the extra money for half board?

Half board is worth it but not at that price. Atlantis regularly have offers for free half board so watch out for that. Also August is very hot and you can’t eat outside so that limits your options so check what restaurants are included. There are some amazing restaurants in Atlantis - Gordon Ramsey, Nobu, hakasaan (that’s my favourite).

I’ve just had a Black Friday email from Best at Dubai and they are included complimentary half board

There's a free half board deal on just now but it's for 7 days or more. I did think this was a big jump in price but I know it is expensive to eat in the atlantis. Is this an ok price for the room only anyone know?

It isn’t a bad price. Have a look what the difference is for a club room (called imperial there). Personally we always opt for club as the cost of drinks in Dubai is extortionate so it softens the blow!

If you are not doing half board I’d normally suggest that you should buy the entertainer as it includes 100’s of 2 for 1 deals for restaurants including the top ones but it’s probably not worth it for 3 days. There are lots of discounts sites though so have a good search before you go.
Remember it is extremely hot in August so your time in Aquaventure will be limited

We went for 4 or 5 nights (can't remember now) and had the free half board upgrade so it could be worth shopping around to see if you can find anyone offering it?

The restaurants in the hotel were extortionate (as was everything there), I wasn't a fan of Dubai at all but did enjoy the hotel & water park, absolutely agree re. the imperial club upgrade though, that's definitely worth it given the cost of drinks.

I agree that you should shop around. We stayed in August in 2014 on a Visa offer on the Atlantis website and it included free halfboard and that was for one night. Many believe it't too hot in July/August, so the deals are out there, so yes do shop around. And if your there for that long, the entertainer is a fantastic deal

You will make your money back right away. They always have offers too, it’s currently if you buy 2019 you get 2018 free. That won’t be much good to you but other offers will come up and the price drops as the year goes on so wait as near to your trip as possible
