An incredibly disappointing start to pur stay at the Atlantis,Dubai especially when we have just left the luxurious Jumeriah Beach hotel. On arrival to the Jumeriah Beach Hotel to celebrate my 40th birthday they had organised the most incredible room, with. Virw of the Burj. Knowing we were there to celebrate my birthday they had organised petals on the bed and a birthday cake, dates, fruit and marshmallows for my children. There was also a beautiful cot arranged with gifts for my baby. In comparison, at the Atlantis. We were give a room with a view of a main road. No extra touches, no cot set up for my baby. My understanding was that the Atlantis was more superior to the Jumeriah Beach hotel but so far I can assure you that is not the case. This is incredibly disappointing as I had organised to celebrate my actual birthday here at Atlantis when i am now wishing we had stayed at the Jumeriah Beach hotel, where we were made to feel very special. Hoping they can turn things around as currently very unimpressed with this apparent 5* hotel. Read less
