Po Box 9255,, Dubai (United Arab Emirates). This luxury hotel is located only about 2.5 km from the Jebel Ali Palm Island Development, a large man-made island in the shape of a palm tree which will be home to a variety of entertainment and residential complexes on completion. While the present development work is clearly visible from the hotel, the sounds that can be heard have been described by guests as similar to that of distant thunder. They do not impact on the enjoyment that can be had at this resort.
