Przejrzane przez @pilotmadeleine: I stayed in the Sky Pool Villa at Atlantis The Royal and I'm speechless. My terrace had a private infinity pool overlooking the entire Palm Jumeirah. Waking up to this view was the highlight of my trip—definitely the most instagrammable spot in Dubai right now.

5 rzeczy, które warto wiedzieć przed wyjazdem
💡The bathroom floors get incredibly slippery because the showers have poor containment—watch your step.
💡You might see scratches on the furniture; despite being new, the wear and tear is accelerating fast.
💡The lobby smells amazing (custom scent), but some room bathrooms have reported sewage-like odors.
💡Electronic curtains are missing in some standard rooms, which is shocking for this price point.
💡The 'private beach' is nice but the water circulation on the Palm can make the sea feel stagnant compared to open ocean beaches.
