Dubai - Hotel Information

[MickeyDuck1208]

These have worked for me. I always book for double occupancy.

1. Check with the girl if she is ok to show ID and register. If she is, let her do it. That is the safest option for everyone.

2. If she is not ready to do it, and you are ok to meet her, look for a common area like bar, restaurant, pool side, etc. Where she can come in as guest. Meet her there and then take her to room. Usually hotels do not bother checking guests in regular hours. If it is after midnight, etc. You might get asked questions. In that case, she would have to register.

3. Some hotels just allow the guest to come to reception, and they call you to confirm they can let her in. Some places do not need the guest to register / have ID if you confirm that they can be sent up.

Just pick a process where you are not breaking any rules. Dubai is one of the most open cities (maybe, after BKK) when it comes to guest policy.

Guys.

Would it help to go down to the lobby to meet the girl and take her to the room, rather than have her come up to you room on her own?

Would security and reception look the other way since she's accompanied by a guest? This is what I do in other countries.

Depends on the hotel. I have been in a few Marriott properties in Dubai and brought them up if it is before midnight.

After that, generally had to register them, which is a 2-3 min task, and their names didn't show up on the final hotel bill as it happened in a few South American countries.

Your point duly noted. Good suggestion on the reception thought there was none since most of the Airbnb was all auto check in on the app.

There is one thing to keep in mind, those AirBnB are either in a high-standing residential building or shared with hotels. Which means there is reception and security in the lobby checking all the guests. So going with an AirBnB is probably not that "safe" also when you want to bring in a WG at 2 in the morning.

Do you mean at the Doubletree? If so not really, no bar only a restaurant.

Out of all hotels on Palm only one start with number.

I was just just imagining the situation with hundreds of horny mongers waiting disappointment at the pool in the One&Only The Palm. LOL.

Sorry, Dubai is a new city to me. Exactly which hotel are you refering to? Your headline said "number at palm" but I see many hotels in Dubai with the name "Palm" in it.

Also, is this hotel guest friendly? Can I bring the ladies up to my room?

I got couple of PMs asking about the hotel. I though clue was simple enough. Out of all hotels on Palm only one start with number. I did not give the name being conscious about giving them negative publicity. It is Five Palm hotel which has good fairly priced rooms. Lots of action. You can bring girls to your room. I took mine many times up and down. There is security at every floor, I don't think they will stop you if the girl is registered at reception.

One funny thing is your key card will work for your floor only. You can not move between floors. You can only go to Lobby level when you go down. That prove the theory that there are many resident WG in the hotel and they can not go to other floor without coming down and going up again with their customer. It is strange system. They could have made it simple.

Hello Folks!

It's been some time since I've posted. I've been actively lurking around these forums nonetheless!

I am not entirely sure if this is the right place to ask but I had a question about taking a certain female Thai *friend* of mine to Musandam from Dubai for a few days. We'd be driving there.

Do any of you foresee any issues at the border? She has her passport and EID. And also checking into a hotel while in Oman? From the little I've researched, Omanis are fine with "unmarried" couples checking into hotels together.

Any thoughts?

TIA.

Been doing several runs up to Musandam for weekend motorcycle trips, border crossing fairly ok (but not as slick as Al Ain), haven't taken a girl across but one mate's Viet wife was knocked back because she had < 6 months left on her passport - & she had an EID, so check her validity.

WRT hotels, would think you'd be ok with either of the Atana's in Khasab, they're licensed and cater for western tourists from Dubai. Just give them a call first.

Speedo.

Need Help with Hotels for Upcoming August first week vacation to Dubai.

Hello All I am very new here. First of all. I want to personally thanks for all the Seniors and active members who spend part of their valuable time updating here so rookies like me feel the comfort with the necessary knowledge you all give us. Appreciate you all!

I've never been to Dubai, found about this site few weeks ago so was reading all the information that pro's have posted.

I was contemplating between getting a hotel room (possibly with a living area) so I don't feel locked inside a tiny one bed room versus get a Airbnb spacious condo / studio / apartment. Can anyone suggest the difference?

Based on my research.

1. pricing it comes to about the same for around $150 per night in August.

2. Airbnb condos come a little cheaper since they are more spacious with stunning views. Example: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/5340414...OOKtic5TuTEfX4.

My questions are:

1. which is better hotels vs Airbnb and why?

2. which area is better and most happening place for best experience with outcalls, bringing someone to the place (green place if hotel), clubs pickups, restaurants and bars, incalls and massage spa's?

Based on few post here. So far I am reading Deira is the best for party places for pickups and downtown is better for outcalls from MR and other sites.

What do you experts suggest? I will put my experience on here with all the details that I will experience. Thank you.

Meanwhile I suggest this hotel to travelling mongers, all in one place. Reasonably prices for superior sea facing rooms. Let the reports come in.

Going in July when it's obviously very hot outside especially during the day. Would you recommend staying at the W Palm or more central locations like DIFC / BB (Ritz or St Regis). Likely going to be making visits to Red Square in the evening and getting put off by the 40 min drive to the Palm. However lots more to do by the beach / pools in and around the Palm during the day.

I concur, I was there in early June. I got a junior suite but it was not sea side which was a waste. I have also seen that the residences are often cheap on booking.com and you still have hotel access. That is next for me and the wife.
