Our Wonderful Dubai Journey

Our next destination in Dubai was the Atlantis, The Palms Hotel. We couldn't wait to see what this iconic hotel had in store for us. Driving up in the cab, we could hardly contain our enthusiasm. The sheer grandeur of the Atlantis the Palms building was awe-inspiring. Its stunning architecture stood tall against the Dubai skyline, and the intricate details were nothing short of remarkable. It was like a palace rising from the Arabian Gulf, and we were in awe.

We marveled at the impressive structure and the promise of what lay ahead. The anticipation was electric as we pulled up to the hotel entrance. It was the beginning of another chapter in our family adventure, and we couldn't have been more thrilled.

We knew that our stay here was going to be nothing short of magical. As we got out of the cab, there was a long red carpet taking you right into the hotel. Of course, I already started taking pictures and videos to capture every moment. It was beautiful.  The lobby alone was outstanding, there was a very tall glass sculpture with beautiful colors and patterns by an artist named Dale Chihuly. There was also lounge areas to sit and relax if you needed to wait for your room or just enjoy the scenery.

After admiring the beauty of the lobby, we checked in, which didn't take too long, and headed for our room.  Our son always opens the door first, it's just a thing we do! We like to see his excitement and first impression. We had a balcony suite once again. The room was spacious, and so very pretty. We had a king room, with a couch that turned into a bed. The room had all of the expected toiletries, and good quality items too. Bathrobes, slippers, and even welcome message on our television. 

Since it was my husband's birthday week, I booked a reservation at En Fuego. It was a Latin inspired restaurant with such fun decor. We had a comfortable booth which I requested, and the vibe was so colorful and energetic. They have a live band and dancers every day. Feel free to get up and dance! 

You actually can't help yourself in a place like that! We did. We ordered some traditional guacamole and chips. My son had beef tacos, I tried the lobster tacos, and my hubby had the skirt steak. Everything was delicious, pretty and plated so nicely. 

After dinner, my hubby was surprised with a cute lemon cake and the staff sang Happy Birthday.  Let's not forget about the huge sombrero they made him wear, and he did very happily! It was such a great night. Since En Fuego books up fast, I recommend calling ahead or booking your date and time online. They have specific nights where it is only 21 and over, so check their website before you plan it. I hope you get a chance to go, you'll love it!
