I’m booked for early August (missing first game) and staying in Hilton Al Hamra resort.
Half hour from Dubai.
My advice is to check details of all inclusive before you book as in our hotel there’s only one of the 4 restaurants there that’s actually all inclusive. The others are based on vouchers. You have s certain amount that you can ‘spend’ in there if you’re AI and the rest you need to pay for. Won’t bother us as it’ll probably mean a £10 each top up every night.
Also, some places are not as forthcoming with the drinks as others.
Check out trip advisor. Yanks generally complain about everything but you can usually see a theme to the complaints that are probably more genuine.
When u planning to go mate?
We probably gonna be spending 90% of the day under umbrella as it’s between 90 and 110 degrees then. That’s how we got it so reasonably. :thumbup:

Been to Dubai... Personally I wouldn't go all inclusive. Too many great places to see and eat. I went hotel and breakfast only. Stayed in old Dubai near the old souks. Fantastic. Great shopping, people are friendly and possibly the cleanest place I've ever been to.

Just come back from Dubai, try a hotel with club rooms , these give you access to a club lounge , free soft drinks ,teas and coffee. Snacks and a free bar for 2 hours in the evening . Beer usually around £10 a pint

I'm sat in the Emirates lounge in Dubai reading this. It's pretty much all inclusive! :occasion5:
