Well you'll just have to go back to get some .


Would you go back?

In a shot. I'd like to do the villas next time - and to try the other resorts suggested in this thread. Atlantis looks stunning on its website.

His complex has a swimming pool on the roof and the 29th floor (top floor) is a gym and squash courts etc.
Reading your report Hal has brought it all back to me. We went for a visit to madinat but just went round the shops and things like that. Your hotel looks out of this world, only in Dubai eh?

I do dream of going back again some day but like you I find it really awkward with the kids. If my brother had a villa I would take them along but unfortunately he only has a 1 bedroom flat.

I would love to take my DH so that he can experience the magic and wonder of Dubai too. It truly is a place that you can't really describe, you just have to see if for yourself.

I glad you had a great time over there.
This is also my wee brother & unlike my wee sister marion i have never been to Dubai but herd so much about it my DH & i might just go one year.Will probably wait till most of the building work has been done unless i win the lottery & can afford a hotel like the one in this post it looks absolutly fab & i can just see me staying somewhere posh

Make sure you book Airport transfers - well worth it. And get your camera and notebook ready - we want a trippy with lots of photos .
