Local knowledge

Request a sea view room facing The Palm/Burj Al Arab rather than roadside for significantly better views and quieter atmosphere
Arrive at breakfast early (before 8am) to secure a clean table; the dining area gets extremely busy and chaotic during peak hours
Ask about complimentary room upgrades at check-in—staff frequently grant upgrades to first-time visitors and IHG members
