The concept and scenery are beautiful. Check-in was smooth, our rooms were facing each other, and at first we genuinely felt we had chosen the perfect place for our friends’ getaway. The private-island setting, colourful atmosphere, beach and pool have a lot of potential. We came as a group, eventually booking 4 rooms, and were really excited for an unforgettable adults-only experience.
Cons My friends and I stayed from September 16th to 21st, and this was supposed to be one of those trips where we could completely switch off from work, meetings and responsibilities and just enjoy ourselves. There were originally four of us. Two of my friends actually flew in to meet me and another friend in Dubai, and later two more friends joined us. Altogether, we ended up booking four rooms, so this wasn’t exactly a random one-night stay. We spent money and genuinely planned this trip expecting an unforgettable experience. We specifically chose an adults-only private island in Dubai because, naturally, we expected an adult, lively and fun atmosphere. Check-in was smooth, and we even got rooms facing each other. Lit 🔥, right? At first, everything felt like we had made the right choice. We had an entire itinerary planned for the vacation and were ready to enjoy ourselves. Around 11 PM, we started our evening plans. We had dinner and later went to the far end of the beach to smoke, have some drinks, dance and enjoy ourselves. Since we were on a private island, it felt like the perfect setting. And honestly, our little party was LIT. 😂🔥 At that point, we were saying to ourselves, “Yep, we definitely picked the right island.” Unfortunately, that feeling didn’t last. Because night swimming at the beach wasn’t allowed, we decided to cool off at the pool instead. We entered the pool in a great mood, laughing, talking and playing music from our small portable speaker. The atmosphere was so enjoyable that other guests actually started joining us, and suddenly our little group had turned into a really fun pool vibe. 🎉 Then a pool attendant approached us and told us to turn off the music and lower our voices because other guests were sleeping. I was the person playing the music, and initially we didn’t really take it seriously. We weren’t throwing some massive event. We weren’t splashing people, causing trouble or doing anything crazy.
