Privilee with Kids : Ritz Carlton Al Hamra RAK

August 12, 2019.Reading time 8 minutes.

It was a really hot day yesterday. I don’t think the husband was very pleased with my fabulous family plan to head towards Ras al Khaimah (again) in the sweltering 40 degrees summer heat and 80 percent humidity. The Ritz Carlton Al Hamra was the destination I told him – “A stunning beach resort, ‘complimentary’ […]

Pandastic Friday Brunch @ Asian District, The Pointe

August 2, 2019.Reading time 7 minutes.

A friend was raving about this new asian foodcourt/restaurant at The Pointe – they had gone for the 148AED unlimited dishes deal on a schoolnight and said the food was amazing. Checked the Entertainer and found that they had a 241 for their Friday Brunch – 255AED for two, including drinks. What a crazy deal […]

July 30, 2019.Reading time 5 minutes.

Whilst we’ve always had the impression that the Ritz is more suited for “grown-ups”, we were glad to find that it is definitely a family-friendly resort.

The Rainforest Experience @ Ritz Carlton Al Wadi Desert RAK

July 27, 2019.Reading time 6 minutes.

I remember reading about the Rainforest Experience a few years ago when the property was still under the Banyan Tree brand.

Whilst we live on the other side of town, we ended up at the Palazzo the other weekend after a Dragonmart excursion – check out the 10aed matching jandals 🙂 Palazzo Versace – it’s different than the rest of the resorts here isn’t it. The level of detail put into every piece – the cups, […]

Turkish Dinner by the Fountains @ Huqqa Dubai

July 16, 2019.Reading time 3 minutes.

I’m no expert when it comes to Turkish cuisine. Unfortunately spending a couple of days in Istanbul on holiday doesn’t make you a pro. So here’s a review from someone who simply appreciates good food, a good spot and an overall good ambience 🙂

An entire afternoon spent @ So Spa, Sofitel The Palm

July 13, 2019.Reading time 8 minutes.

So if you want to bring your mum to one spa during her trip to Dubai, or your sister, or a good friend – I highly recommend So Spa. Such beautiful interiors, and it’s huuuuge – a whole ‘2500m2’ according to their website blurp. I’ve been to so many spas during our time here in […]

Weekend Family Lunch @ Flow Kitchen, Fairmont The Palm Dubai

Back again to the Fairmont at the Palm – this time for literally the entire afternoon 🙂 So if you’re planning to spend the afternoon here with the family using Privilee, or otherwise just looking for another spot to go to for lunch on a Friday without breaking the bank – give Flow Kitchen a […]
