Re: Atlantis....
I think this comes from something like "does a shopping mall have a soul?"
You'd say no. A soul is something that is ingrained into the place through history, scenery, art, music, people, seasons et al.
This doesn't mean it is crap, as another poster stated Luton and Watford are virtual slums but probably have a soul.

200 hotel guests over-booked according to Gulf News and spent all day in the lobby...sounds like it was to do with the water supply failure. Yet another construction faux pas on the Palm Jumeirah it seems.

Just been to Aquaventure - a really good day out. Far superior to Wild Wadi, plenty of sunbeds and good rides. I'm not sure what more people are expecting?
The hotel is a different matter. Met friends in there, chaotic. Still no water at 10:30, people turning up to check in with no rooms available as no water to clean them. Friends got never got charged for there stay there due to the problems so quite happy...although 110dh for a glass of house wine in Locatellis seemed a bit excessive.

Nope I am not a shareholder, just someone who has actually been to have a look, and yes its not perfect but show me a new venture that is, its bound to have hiccups and things that dont work but they will get fixed, so like I said if people who are moaning about the way things are and havent actually been to see for themselves havent IMHO, got a say

I went and saw the rooms (not impressed), and personally think the hotel is very tacky. But I'm sure there are plenty of people here who will absolutely love it.
