Al Bandar Rotana – Dubai Creek
As I have stayed I many hotels, I have found Al Bandar’s breakfast very outdated. Their omelette station was tasteless. Some of the foods were very bland to taste and I was not fully satisfied with their current breakfast menu.

I booked half board. There was no water. They forced me to pay for water. Each bottle 24 Dirhams. This is cheating

Grand Millennium Business Bay
Very poor customer service We were there on a leisure trip. After 4 days we were informed that the pool and adjoining area would be closed and would not reopen for the duration of our stay. When we approached the front desk the manager was completely unsympathetic
