It was our first time using Luxury Escapes, however we are familiar with using other discount sites such as Travelzoo and. Groupon getaways, so gave it a try. Everything was exactly as advertised (or actually better). Communication prior to our trip was quick and accurate. I contacted the hotel (NH Collection Dubai) to ensure that Luxury Escapes had the correct room and dates books. Everything was correct. Once at the hotel which is right on the stem of the Palm, and within walking distance to restaurants, bars and local mall we were quickly checked in. The half board / lounge access option was excessive. So much food and drink offered - we could use the lounge to pop in and have sodas / coffee/tea and light snacks, but the real value was the 2 hour happy hour that they hosted in the Revo restaurant. Unlimited Drinks and upscale appetizers. It was fun going daily to see what the servers would bring to our table. We had one issue with noise in the room, and it was resolved quickly. The manager upgraded us to a larger more private room and th3n followed up several times to ensure we were happy. This deal was almost too good to be true, and based on this stay would recommend both NH Collection and Luxury Escapes.
