Greetings from Dubai

So this is the third time for me writing this , i am having zero luck on here!!

So after only an hour and a half sleep we get to Manchester airport , where we check in fine. We pick up our preordered dirhans from travelex which we got the very best rate for , 5.9 dhms to the pound. Which is great and you can pick them up the next day if you so desire!

The flight was great , with chicken in youghurt curry and rice and sticky toffee pudding and then later we had afternoon tea. All of this was gorgeous but the STP was the best , makes my mouth water just thinking about it !! The flight attendant kept plying us with booze he would give us two when we each asked for a drink so i had 6 GnTs alone !! Safe to say at that altitude i was a bit tipsy !!

When we arrived we got our bags and got straight in a taxi , but be sure you ask them first how much it is as it appeared we were given an exectutive one so we promptly switched to a pink ladies taxi which only cost 52 dhms but make sure you tip around 5 dhms.

When we arrived we couldn't believe how gorgeous the hotel was , with it's doorman opening the taxi boot and grabbing our bags to put them in his golden trolley.
Grand Fortune hotel apartments ;
The big glass doors and scripted name onto these told us we were here. When we walked into the lobby it was the same quality , we checked in and paid straight away. They upgraded us to a one bedroom apartment which is gorgeous , very modern and clean. The door man showed us to our room. If you want 5 star service at two star prices you MUST stay here . With an only 7 minute walk to the nearest supermarket and a 10 minute walk to the metro station it's in a great location. These apartments are great and the gym and pool area on the roof are lovely too. The lifeguards will get you a towel, the po afea is clean and large with shallow rise steps for you to sit on in the sun. The cleaning staff are great too. They replenished any toiletries we had used and even did our washing up !!!


Great start to our trip !!

Love S&L xxxx

    Once you decide to own a property, out team of experts makes sure that all odds are in your favour. No longer would you need to engage in complicated discussions with the landlord while buying property in Dubai
