The Palm Hotel, Dubai

I love this hotel for holiday stays in Dubai. I have had two full week long holidays at the Palm Dubai and I loved it. It is a bit far from downtown but it has a shuttle to the beach and it is not far from Ibn Battuta Mall or the Mall of the Emirates. The hotel itself has enough to keep most people busy. The swimming pool is large with bar. There is a cheep spa above the pool although if you want luxury go to the Paris Gallary spa in City Centre Mall. There are several restuarants including a fun/lively Irish pub, the main Italian restuarant, a Arab bar and The Hard Rock cafe. There is also a large night club but it's mainly a "working girl bar". The staff are the best. They really watch out for you and seem to remember your name. The price is pretty good too.
