Just heard on the radio that the Desert Island Resorts and Spa are doing good deals, and the airfare is just 99 dhs

Went to look at the Hilton at Fujairah (just as far as RAK, though), but neither the hotel nor the beach compares with those at RAK.
How about Emirates Palace?

Re: hotel recommends...
I love the JA hotel. I first went there 6/7 years ago - I think we have been back at some point every year since we moved here. Much nicer in the spa - if you get a suite on the beach it's great.
jump in the car for a run up to Ibn Butta for a pizza express dinner with the entertainer vouchers.
Atlantis is cheap again at the moment - food is a shocker there though so be prepared to drive up to JBR for dinner!
