Living in the UAE we quite often...
Living in the UAE we quite often choose to have a night away and selected this hotel due to the reduced rate being offered. We have stayed here before so knew what to expect in regard to facilities etc. Disappointing that you have to almost argue to get into the security gate despite having a reservation. Took almost 30 minutes for our very small suitcase to arrive at our room. Stay was nice and the food in the White Orchid Restaurant (in Palm Tree Court section of complex) was fantastic as ever. When we checked out the hotel reception could not find the credit card slip which had been used to block out AED 1,000 during our stay and we therefore had to pay again and understand this money will be refunded to our credit card in 5 - 7 days.
Overall a good experience but thing you really do get what you pay for. If you want luxury then I'm afraid it costs more.
