Atlantis The Palm

Superb luxury and treatment

VIP treatment from arriving at Dubai airport to being ushered into a luxury car, to receiving our room. On arrival at the Atlantis at around 1000 our bags were taken care of and we were shown to breakfast and checked in simultaneously. Our room was ready about an hour later which was perfect. The Terrace Club Suites and Imperial Club were impeccable although the imperial club does get busy during happy hour. Aquaventure Water Park was brilliant with enough things to do with small children, however the 1.2m ride height is a bit over the top especially if you have small children who love fast rides. Bread Street Kitchen was absolutely fantastic, as was the all inclusive brunch. Seafire Steak house served one of the best steaks I have had and again nothing was too much trouble.

That we didn’t stay longer.

The water park was fun, the rapids allowed transportation for the park. The beds were comfy, the staff was very friendly and accommodating. The shower was awesome.

The quality of food for in room dining was disappointing and not what we would expect for such a luxe resort. The spaghetti sauce was not “homemade” and too salty. The pancakes were not “homemade” and more manufactured. The eggs were instant scramblers and not fresh. We had better food at the IHOP.

Water park was one of the best, beats all the U.S. Water parks combined .My 6 yr old loved it all. The aquarium is like and art gallery with fish as a background.

Restaurants are expensive unless you like to paying $30 for a hamburger.
