Palm Court Afternoon Tea @ Jumeirah Beach Hotel with Isme Elite

March 19, 2017.Reading time 6 minutes.

As much as I love reviewing food as part of an invitation (i.e free), I will have to admit that you can only truly experience the real deal when you head over as a paying guest. It’s quite upsetting when it’s from a brand close to heart. I sat on the fence on this one […]

A luxurious visit to the Capital @ Jumeirah Etihad Towers, Abu Dhabi

December 11, 2016.Reading time 12 minutes.

Back home from a short getaway to the capital. We used the 2nd, and last of the staycation voucher in our Isme Elite app this time – a “city getaway” – at Jumeirah Etihad Towers Hotel in Abu Dhabi 🙂 It was either that, or Jumeirah Emirates Towers in Dubai (too close to home, the […]

Girly afternoon tea @ Sultan’s Lounge, Jumeirah Zabeel Saray

July 21, 2016.Reading time 5 minutes.

I’m struggling to find time to blog nowadays. I’ve got Little S in my arms right now as I type away. She’s been a lucky little monkey, as she’s been to so many places lately – of one is Sultan’s Lounge at the glamorous Jumeirah Zabeel Saray in west crescent of The Palm 🙂 As […]

How to make the most of your stay at Madinat Jumeirah : Babymoon @ Dar Al Masyaf

June 1, 2016.Reading time 8 minutes.

Quite a few weeks ago, we were looking around for somewhere to go for a, what people would call a ‘babymoon’. Now most people (in Dubai) would go to somewhere exotic like Thailand, Maldives, maybe Sri Lanka – but I was past my ‘okay-to-fly’ safe date so we opted for somewhere local. A few clicks […]

Date night @ Burj Al Arab by the pool : Bab Al Yam

May 11, 2016.Reading time 5 minutes.

With the doctor telling us that I’ve got ‘a few days to go’ before the little girl makes her debut, we decided to bring forward our date night at the Burj Al Arab. Anytime now, she says. I found out about the deal a few weeks ago when I could not sleep, and decided to […]

A little bit of Mexican @ Tortuga, Mina A’Salam

March 25, 2016.Reading time 4 minutes.

I’ll start off by saying that I am no expert when it comes to Mexican food. This was just one of those unplanned Thursday nights where we flipped out the Entertainer and wanted to go to somewhere in the Souk Madinat Jumeirah area, having just spent a lovely babymoon at Dar Al Masyaf the weekend […]

Meatopia Brunch @ The Hide, Al Qasr

February 21, 2016.Reading time 10 minutes.

It’s been a long time since we’ve been to a Friday afternoon brunch. Out came the Entertainer App as I went through the monthly deals, and The Hide caught my attention. I’ve seen a page or two of it when magazines have gone to review the outlet, must have been in Stylist or Shortlist? Haven’t […]

Al Qasr Afternoon Tea @ Al Fayrooz Lounge

January 31, 2016.Reading time 4 minutes.

This I’ll say. It’s pretty, it’s very pretty. We had a great time. However, food was just – alright. Here’s a detailed take on what we got for 200AED (for two, with the Entertainer 😉 )
