For those who have asked what the hotels are like here. My previous hotel that I just spent 11 days in was just okay, despite the food being very good and being given the presidential suite the entire time. I definitely would not stay there again simply for the fact that the taxi driver that scammed me for 630AED earlier this week is one of the hotel's drivers.
I had a mysterious charge of 200AED on my room deposit refund receipt as I was checking out yesterday. Thankfully, I noticed it right away and had the charge removed. It's sneaky practices like this that makes a lot of people not want to travel to big tourist cities.
Now being on the other side of the creek, here is the view from a 5 star. The hotel itself and the room's are just extravagant including the 6 restaurants but the views are something else from the 36th floor. It has multiple outdoor swimming pools and multiple patios on different levels to dine or relax on.
It's ironic that I feel much more nervous looking out of this window from the 36th floor than I did up on the 125th floor of the Burj Khalifa.
There is a stunning black horse monument in the lobby, too bad I can't get a picture of it to show. It's too bad I can't show you all inside this hotel, everywhere you go, every corner you look around, it's just world class architecture. Easily some of the best building interior I've ever seen.
