Atlantis The Palm - Dubai

















Atlantis The Palm - Dubai

Crescent Road, The Palm Jumeirah, Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Ok so this is an amazing hotel that in itself is a tourist attraction. With that in mind it was hugely crowded, it too about 20minutes to check in because of the lines of people and about the same to get out or check out......... the line for the breakfast buffett was 30 minutes. and nothing was easy to move around in because of the crowds and of course some of the folks there think they are superior to the rest of the world and thy just cut into the lines. Beautiful hotel but way too crowded.
