Nomadic tribal heritage and modern society co-exist in the UAE, a federation of seven emirates at the southeastern edge of the Arabian Peninsula. Look beyond the desert that consumes four-fifths of its area and you'll find UAE capital Abu Dhabi, an oil-rich city of skyscrapers, parks and malls, and Dubai, with its split personality of luxury resorts and covered marketplaces, upscale boutiques and local artisans. For a break from urban sprawl, journey over rolling red sand dunes into the Hatta Mountains, where the 200-year-old Sharia Mosque sits amid 30 restored buildings of sandalwood and mud.

We were super excited to stay at the Centara hotel . After booking it over a month ago . It was my bday . Little did we know it was going to be one of the worst hotels . Hell in the time of Covid for sure . 1) we arrived at 2 45 pm only to be let into our rooms at 3 45 - that too one of our two rooms was ready. 2) the pool was over crowded - the adult pool was full of kids . 3) the restaurant by the pool sat with dirty tables , we had to wait over a half hour to have it cleaned . It seemed like they were doing us a favor in just cleaning the tables 4) pre dinner at 7 30 pm we asked them to kindly make up the sofa bed in our room . They said house keeping would arrive in 15 mins . We waited , they never arrived . We then presumed they would quietly come in and the bed would be made . We came back from dinner at 9 30 to find the room on these exact state we left it . I then called a rather busy operator ( waited on hold for 10 mins ) to request them to pls make the bed again as we went out to explore the night market . We can back to our rooms to once again find our request was ignored . I have been trying the phones for the last 20 mins no one picks up . I finally found some house keeping guys on our floor and practically begged them so they could make the bed . The man arrived with poor personal hygiene and now my room smells like him . He already informed us that the sofa bed has no blanket . All an all this hotel should we reported to health and safety. I don't think we will be coming back and I wouldn't be surprised if it's helping to spread disease rather than contain it . Very disappointed!

We had the best time ever at Rixos Bab Al Bahar an all inclusive resort. From check in till our check out the entire process was smooth. We intended to stay one night ,but thanks to the team at Rixy Kids club our kids had such an amazing time that we decided to extend our stay by a night. And, it turned out to be the best decision. I would specially like to mention Jea from the Rixy Kids club who made it such a memorable experience for the kids. Sagar also did an exceptional job at the restaurant everyday ,looking after us.

Beautiful hotel and our second visit here. Personal thanks to Kabir and all the other members of the hotel. Special thanks to Mido who was so sweet and managed to always get my son to finish his breakfast willingly! The breakfast at the hotel is always impressive and ALL of the staff (Ahmed- always had my smoothies sorted) always had everything ready. I felt like we never had to wait for anything because they made sure it was already ordered before we sat down. Lastly Jeyran really made an effort to make sure we were comfortable on our arrival. She always greeted us with a warm welcome and helped answer all our questions! The hotel staff were great overall and really made my sons birthday a memorable experience. I wish I would’ve got more of the breakfast and house keeping employee names because they ALL were just amazing! We loved every bit of this stay and will definitely be back again :)

The distinctive sail-shaped silhouette of Burj Al Arab Jumeirah is more than just a stunning hotel, it is a symbol of modern Dubai. Rising on a man-made island, 280 metres from the shores of the renowned Jumeirah beach and designed to resemble the graceful sail of an Arabian dhow, it soars to a height of 321 metres, dominating Dubai’s coastline. The all-suite hotel offers 201 luxury duplexes with stunning views of the ocean, private beach access, luxury leisure on a breathtaking terrace with pools and cabanas as well as 9 of the world’s best dining and entertainment venues helmed by Michelin-starred chefs.
To finally cross the bridge to stay at this iconic hotel was a long held dream and boy did the experience not disappoint. The opulence, the facilities and especially the level of service are off the scale. Big thanks to Carmen who made us feel like kings on arrival, to our butlers who were so attentive (but not intrusive) and especially to Bhairav in the spa who treat us like old friends and took care of everything before our departure. The breakfast is the best we've ever had and the pool areas are simply perfect. Huge thankyou to all of the staff who made 3 lads from Sunderland feel so special.
