What is up with this hotel??
Okay, I only spent 3 nights in this hotel alone for about 2,700 USD. I was supposed to meet a friend in Dubai, so I chose this hotel to get all fancy and feel special (for experience wise). Of course, I read on the Internet that this place was a 5 star hotel. I must give them 5 stars for both cleanliness and location (great view, I agree), but I was very disappointed at their services as well as the money value. On the second day, I started wondering if this was really worth the money. No, it didn't. Their food was overpriced and did not taste as good - they just looked fancy and luxurious.
I had to spend about 90 or more USD per meal.
Also, maybe it's just me but, I'm just a highschool student, so I guess the clerks might've thought that they didn't really need to pay attention to "kids". I'm a freakin customer too, I mean, they should still treat me like a VIP or something (I was expecting this after I read several reviews online). They were not as friendly as I expected them to be, moreover, they acted so slowly, the ice cream arrived approximately 2 and a half hours after I ordered them, and I ended up yelling at the guy. He NEVER apologized for being late, instead, he kept telling me all these excuses. I would've lost my temper if he rubbed his little fingers at me for a tip.
I was fully aware of the fact that they're busy folks, but come on; I'm spending thousands of dollars in this place, and this really gives me the feeling that these folks are just here for money. However, I admit that I felt really special and ostentatious when I stayed at this hotel, and I recommend this hotel for people who are dying to invest their money in all sorts of lavish and frivolous things in this hotel.
