almost a rip off at those rates
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 9/28/06
experienced (snort) this place during ramadan
for the tourist:
typical average 4 stars, old fittings, average food, empty bar, no action
average service
located in the middle of a construction zone
for the business traveller:
no internet in the rooms
taxis slow to come
rates: 900 AED with taxes
fairemont in the center (no beach) charges aprox 700 and is an absolutely classy, stylish, fashionable place
royal meridian (beach) charges only marginally more (about 100 AED more) for absolutely top value - no comparison
i'm outta here
