This hotel is actually nice inside. I like the breakfast buffet & the best one is the Thai restaurant!! Great food! There's a bar lounge & other venues. I didn't get to see the pool because it closed early. My room was comfortable & I was able to sleep well. However, I noticed that when they installed the big TV, there placement against the wall had small gaps. The lobby has tour excursion, concierge with any ques, luggage hold, taxi service but if you want to pay less then more use government taxi. I don't know why they use that term. You stil arrive where you want to. Private taxi doesn't have a cab sign on top of the car roof. I used a pink cab arriving from the airport late at night, private when the hotel ushered one & government taxi I requested myself. Dubai is clean! Very nice experience & different. I saw the beautiful views in the different areas of Dubai. It was a unique experience. Shopping can be expensive but you can walk around Emirates Mall to see it's rich appeal. The architectural design of the buildings in Dubai were appealing, elegant & contemporary. The view on top of the frame was nice but over price for admission. I loved Burj Khalifa but arrive very early before the crowd. Dubai Mall had a lot of restaurants, & scenic marina. Stop by a sweet shop, Juliette Delices, Souk Al Bahar, L2-054. Their chocolate, sesame, pistachio were delicious. Bought some & will return again. Their Starbucks had nice outdoor seating areas. Atlantis was great!
