This was my second time in Dubai. My first time was in 2016, and wow have things changed! There are so many more restaurants, hotels, and buildings throughout the city. Dubai is so advanced and futuristic. I decided to do a solo trip to Dubai a few weeks ago, in celebration of my new travel podcast. I split my week long trip into two totally different hotels. One located in the financial district in Downtown Dubai, and the other, a resort on Palm Jumeirah, a manmade palm shaped island with manmade beaches.
My room at Hyde Dubai, located in business bay, right on the Dubai Canal, had a direct view of the Burj Khalifa. The Burj Khalifa is the tallest building in the world, at 2,717 ft tall and 163 floors. My large balcony had beautiful views of the Burj Khalifa, as I was directly across from it, especially at night when it was all lit up.
Hyde Dubai is a very modern hotel with artsy vibes, a rooftop pool, and an amazing breakfast buffet with tons of delicious options to choose from. (You really have to watch it on my Dubai Vlog Part 1 here.) It is also conveniently close to the airport and the Dubai Mall. Of course, I went to visit and have an entire vlog dedicated to the world's largest mall, & one of my favorite places in the world, The Dubai Mall.
The second hotel, Marriott Resort Palm Jumeirah, was more of a vacation resort style hotel, which I truly enjoyed. Even though I was working, I felt like I was on a much needed vacation here. Located right on the beach on Palm Jumeirah, this large family resort, has several restaurants, a beach club called Bal Harbour Beach, an extremely large outdoor pool, with a bar restaurant called Myami, and a fabulous spa, Saray Spa. I also had access to the M Lounge, which offered an incredible daily breakfast, snacks throughout the day, and a daily happy hour. I had a beautiful large suite overlooking both the beach and the pool. I saw the most amazing red sunsets from my balcony. I was truly Jasmine from Aladdin.
My favorite three parts of the hotel were Bal Harbour Beach, Saray Spa, (I did a 60 minute massage), and their Korean Steakhouse restaurant, Smoki Moto. Every restaurant at this resort is incredible with the best cuisines, (I am a big foodie). I honestly recommend this resort to everyone, solo travelers, couples, families- absolutely everyone. I cannot wait to come back here one day, as I loved my stay so much and will cherish the memories and photos forever.
On my very last day in Dubai, I checked out of the Marriott Resort Palm Jumeriah, and did a day visit, in collaboration with, the ultimate luxurious, Atlantis The Royal. This opulent resort was one of the most breathtaking hotels I've ever been to in my entire career. I will definitely come back to visit. You can watch that vlog here. I have also made a separate blog post on the day visit, in which you can read all about it here.
