top hotel mate, stayed there 3 times…beautiful bit of beach, lovely rooms and right near everything else (burj al arab, wadi world, jumarah beach and the city centre)

also meant to be some good shops there, called boulevard @ jumierah i think.

you just go to other hotels at night, they have nearly all got superclubs in them.

p.s its so cheap in june july and august cos its so so humid (41 any good?)…its actually hard to be out in it for longer than 15 minutes..but every single place there is air conned to the maximum. ive been in all three hot months and i aint dead tho, so its do-able.

Going to book this at the weekend - what do you lot reckon?

Going to the Dhow Palace Hotel for 5 nights.

£1026.50 for 2, Double Deluxe room, bed and breakfast, and flights with Emirates.

unless your flight is at silly o'clock bare in mind that you can get to Gatwick from Victoria in 30 minutes on the Gatwick Express. pricey for 2 though

you're sharing a double with your mum?

seems alot to spend so young, £2k will buy you a round the world ticket and some hostels, or a load of easyjet flights and semi decent european hotels, or flights to asia and some decent beaches, do the 5 star thing if your parents are paying , or when you are older imo

Seems a lot my mate and his bird just got 2 weeks all inclusive to Cuba for 2k, dunno if its any good in comparision to Barbados..

Going to NY on June 28th - July 5th, my mate is going travelling, so I decided to join him at his first stop (he leaves on the 2nd), so I'm also spending a few days on my own over there, which I think will be amazing!
Was recently my 21st, so parents offered to pay for it, which is a result.

Hopefully will meet some people over there, and also spending 4th July over there, and on my own!

Any tips would be great.

^ love that approach
