Q: As I am passing through Dubai in a few months time, I would love to stay in Sol Kerzner's new hotel there, the one that has just opened. Can you tell me how to book a room there and how much I am likely to pay? Is there any way of getting a cheap two-night package? - Bev Anderson
A: The easiest way to book for Atlantis The Palm is on the www.atlantisthepalm.com website. I did a test booking from 4-6 February 2009 and the price for a deluxe double room was 1900 UAE Dirham (around 510 US dollars), which excludes a 10% service charge and a 10% municipality fee. A booking on the same dates with discount website www.expedia.co.uk offered a deluxe room with breakfast for 412 British pounds including all taxes (about 610 US dollars). So, no big discount there.
I am sure that packages to the resort will be available and advertised shortly in South Africa, as they are already available in other markets. Check with a travel agent in a few weeks' time. For example, special opening four-night packages from the United Kingdom are being advertised during May next year on www.netflights.com at 799 British pounds per person sharing (plus taxes). This includes four nights accommodation in a deluxe room with breakfast and a return economy ticket on Emirates airline.
