Good Points

Fabulous quality food and service and location


Bad Points

You may feel a little like a fish out of water in all the opulence


General Comments

Burj Al Arab - You have your own butler, each room is actually a suite over two floors, some have their own lift to get you up to your bedroom. 40 inch plasma TVs, closed circuit TV to see who is outside your room. You get picked up from the airport in a Rolls. When sunbathing, they bring you iced water and cool towels every 15 minutes. The food is the best I have tasted anywhere in the world - real gold leaf is quite an exotic ingredient! There is the Wild Wadi water park adjacent to the hotel which you can use free, but to be honest, we just stayed in the hotel.

I don't care where you have been or stayed, this will almost certainly be better than any of them. Do shop around for prices, from the UK, we found Cresta to be the most cost effective.

If you do go, go and do some dune surfing in a 4 wheel drive, it's great fun.

    I have to agree with all that you have said. My wife and I went in 2004 for our 1st anniversary and we were very nervous but we were made to feel very welcome and everyone was so friendly. We would love to return, money permitting.
    Word of advice, STAY AWAY FROM THE MINIBAR!! I had to do the currency converion a couple of times I thought I had made a mistake (£100 for a bottle of Beefeater Gin, the same for a bottle of Jonnie Walker Black). Each room, sorry suite has its own lounge, office area downstairs toilet, dressing area, bathroom and bedroom.

    Would recommend to anyone who has ever wished to be in the lap of luxury..Enjoy!!

    whaaaat? u didnt go to wild wadi???? u missed out on such a lot! ive been there 3 or 4 times- used to live in the U.A.E, it is brilliant.

    am going back this July (would have gone last July but the swimming pool was being refurbished). May do the wild wadi, but at the end of the day its just a water park, and having done water parks all over the world, they tend to become like Holiday Inns - 'samey'. Thanks for the reminder tip on the Mini Bar, that'll be me down the 'offy' then!
