Image of the Tripadvisor rating Nice but expensive

Jan 21, 2019 Mafalda0702

We had a great stay at The Atlantis Dubai. Though our room had too big beds, the policy is that only two adults and one child could stay at the room, so we had to book two rooms and that raised the price of our stay... maybe you could fit more people per room and charge and extra...
Image of the Tripadvisor rating A little too pricy for the service and ambience which were just mediocre

Jan 20, 2019 Connector46289695625 Melbourne, Australia

Atlantis, The Palm was not what I visualised that it is a place of heaven where I could relax and enjoy the facilities. It was over crowded and just over commercialised. People every where and you could not have the privacy which I thought for the hotel guest.

A beautiful and lovely family hotel. A must visit/stay if you want to have the ultimate in family relaxation. The facility is such a masterpiece from in and out and I am told it is clearly visible from space.
