we stayed here in dubai jmbh
it was v nice, nice views, fantastic weather, but i prefered the maldives.
even though it was a really nice hotel, there where a few s'lebs there at the same time as us. my dh thought it was funny that rooney was there at the bar at the time too, i didn't like the decor much, its a bit brassy iykwim. far too much gold for my taste, lol.
iirc the drinks where about 5-10$ us or something, it wasn't crazy prices, unless you wanted to spend crazy money. you could order the most expnsive wine which i think worked out to about£20,000 a bottle.
we went on the snorkleing excursion and fishing etc both excellent.
but just being there is great.
one evening we where walking back from the other island there is a wooden bridge that connects both islands, and we saw a huge manta ray, it was so beautiful it was lit up by the lights under the bridge, it was so graceful. also we liked sitting out on the deck of the water villa that also had a light underneath, we saw turtles and baby sharks [and dolphins on the fishing trip.]
also we used the spa twice and the pool is lovely too.
we will definatly go again maybe next year, although there's so many places to go in the world seems a shame to go to the same place twice.
this year i think we are going to majorca as we are a bit weary of travelling too far, thinking of going here
not quite as glam i know, but nice anyway!
