My visit to Atlantis water park 👉ruclips.net/video/M-huMM7W0_c/видео.htmlsi=iUXGHlXWV_T5POO2
WOW!!! What a place. Spacious suites and wonderful scenery. Food looks so tasty and had great variety. Definitely luxurious
WOW!! So amazing! Loved the aquarium, the lobby so beautiful that glass palm tree in the middle just gorgeous!! Loved your suite, the balconies, the bedroom with onset bathroom super nice! Really beautiful place! Thank you for sharing 😊
£1200 for 1 night? And no complimentary mini bar? A bit overpriced. Room was nice. Think half hours needs more restaurants
Hey Tim , always enjoy your videos. Love to see you do the hard rock guitar hotel in Hollywood Florida
How many people can fit in the bath? 🛀 😁 🤣
This is why I appreciate your content. Most youtubers would not mention certain things but you keep it real! 2 minutes in and we already know it smells musty! 😂
lol it was like walking into a bedroom when people have been sleeping in it all night
@@WalkWithMeTim aw man! You'd think they have 24/7 scenties running like Disney 😂
yes I have to agree was surprised
@@WalkWithMeTim oh also love the socks! Your wife is indeed awesome!
Most hotel rooms smell musty. High or low end, they all smell the same
As someone who is disabled, struggles to get out a lot and especially to afford travel, these videos are so wonderful for me. Your videos are so detailed and personal it almost makes me feel like I'm there with you. Thank you for your content Tim it brightens my days :)
Especially since 99 percent of the worlds population couldn't afford to stay even one night, let alone get to Dubia. But there are also lots of rich people out there.
@@glenndouglas8822 the membership is £2.99 a month, hardly breaking the bank to support a creator you like
I am in the same position. This is the only way to ever see the world ❤
I agree, I will never get to see these amazing places in real life so it is fantastic to see your trips. Being disabled I wonder how difficult it would be there....do they rent out mobility scooters?
@@glenndouglas8822 ty captain obvious
I appreciate Tim's thoroughness in noting minor things about the place that are little off, like the musty smell or dirty balcony, that others might choose to ignore in their trip videos.
tbh it put me off walking to the room
Yes , he is incorruptible and honest 👍🏼
The chihuly glass sculpture is fab, similar to the installation at the V&A in london - great video
A Tim you are a breath of fresh air doing these videos. You should have you own tv travel show x
He does have his own travel show and it has way more viewers than the mainstream 'T.V' shows, people are strange with how they believe 'TV' is somehow the only valid option - take Joe Rogan, his audience is in the millions, it beats any of the TV shows.
thanks I do .. here :-)
@@Deliquescentinsightand he answers only to himself without grubby execs messing things up!
That shower is a no go for me, I’d have a panic attack if I couldn’t open the door! Was bad enough just watching you trying to open it
I'm afraid I laughed when tim got stuck again, but I'd be the same..😢
yes i can imagine a small or light person getting stuck and having panic attack!
Yeah, I couldn't deal with that! I wonder if it was the same 'issue' in all the rooms? 🤔
And the flooding during the heavy rain was a bit unexpected amongst all the shiny extravagance!
I got stuck in a shower at butlins , nearly had a panic attack !
@@traceyabbott193 I never had a problem with this sort of thing until I woke up in a tent in the dark, I couldn’t find the zip and just went nuts and destroyed the tent trying to escape 😂 ever since I can’t stand being in tight spaces
Beautifully themed Hotel (of course based on the ancient mythological city of Atlantis, said to have been submerged underwater.) I loved the aquariums design continuing on the theme with the surface littered with ancient ruins. That 4K a night hotel suite really encapsulated Atlantis undersea for me, just incredible. Thx for the video Tim.
Half board is never worth it. It's cheaper to pay for breakfast and dinner than have it bundled, ESPECIALLY as a solo traveler. and you never have to worry about what is included or not, just pick the restaurant you want and eat what you want.
I'm a bit of a newbie on this channel, can you please tell me what is half board?
@TooTTiFruiTTi Board Basis refers to what you get for your money with a hotel booking. You can have 'Room only' [no food or drink included], Breakfast included, Half Board [Breakfast and Dinner included for each day you stay], Full Board [breakfast, lunch, dinner all included], All inclusive [breakfast, lunch and dinner included plus snacks, ice cream etc.] I hope this helps
Slightly less tacky with not as much gold kicking about, almost looks quite nice.
I love gold😎
You call it tacky, but gold is a major part of Arabian culture.
Tim,
Absolutely amazing! 😍
I can honestly say no one showcases these hotels better than you! Wow! 👏
Loved it!
thanks , means a lot
Yes , indeed. I agree 💯👍🏼
The production value on your videos is top notch Tim! Your drone work especially the end shot on each video is outstanding! I push pause on the end scene just to take it all in so please don’t stop doing it. The end shot of Liverpool on the Titanic video looked like a painting. Your attention to detail, forthrightness, dry humor and tv hosting talent makes you the best travel channel bar none. Keep shooting for the stars and you’ll hit one million in no time. Bravo! 👏🏻🙌🏻
wow thank you
I love your fussy, discerning nature and attention to detail!
Thanks for your regular uploads, Tim 👍
My pleasure!
Bit of a change from a Pontin’s at Grimsby, that’s for sure! Definitely an eye opener- my parents lived in Dubai in the late 90s and we saw the skeleton on the Burj Al Arab as it was being built. Stunning place, almost slightly unreal. Great video Tim
So excited to see this
Thank you for showing us around. It looks beautiful and definitely on my bucket list now.
Your honest reviews are what keep me coming back to this channel. You tell it straight! Don’t change that!
Wow, that looks truly staggering. I love the underwater theme. Sadly it will never be in my budget but I enjoyed dreaming.
Go in June its cheaper! Around 180 -220gbp a night. Includes water park access which is usually 60gbp per person
@@iTechwareOfficialvery true. Early September is cheap also and the temps aren’t as high as June, but still in the 40’s 🥵
"So, how did he die?"
"The English? We're not entirely sure, but the door to the shower cubicle was stuck fast. It was really odd, though: he was fully-clothed, holding a selfie-stick!"
"Ha, the English are crazy, we know that!"...
And they would say...... "what we really don't understand is how come there were 5 other people in there with him....?"
Wetting the door area would loosen the suction
Re your shower door - a colleague had the same problem at a different Dubai hotel. Except he was unable to force it open. With his 'do not disturb sign' on he potentially faced being trapped for a day or more, but fortunately was fit enough to eventually climb out over the top of the door.
Thanks for the tour Tim.
Tim, check out place like…. Raffles hotel Singapore, The Siam Bangkok, Soneva Kiri Thailand, Aman Tokyo, Song Saa private island Cambodia, Taj lake palace India, the Danieli Venice, the Dorchester London, the lanesborough London, hotel George V Paris, hotel Airelles Le Grand Contrôle Versailles (VIP palace access), the blue train South Africa, Azura Benguerra Island Mozambique, four season yachts, ponant cruise, north island or north island Seychelles.
OMG indeed! An incredible hotel. Appreciate being able to experience it with you. I was surprised at the cost, a lot less than I was expecting. (No doubt if a certain person views this they will totally disagree with me!)
Tbh it's a busy time in dubai this time of year but it was also a Sunday
@@WalkWithMeTimThere didn't seem to be many people in the pools.
Certain said person is sat next to me laughing at your comment. Please don’t let the little star next to your name make you big headed. 😁 have a lovely evening.
Who's a certain person? You mean the entire Internet?
Wow, what a lovely hotel, really beautiful and that aquarium ! Only no no for me was the inescapable loud music by the pools and that shower door.
Just a heads up, I think the lamp switch in your room is meant to be operated by your foot. Thank you for another great video, as always 👍🌊🐠🌴😊
I like that you don't waste words. Everything you say is factual and concise and I really appreciate that
Awesome video as always Tim. I’m also very grateful to the person gifting me a membership. I like gifts, good thing it’s my birthday Monday😉
Have a nice birthday 💐
@@gertrudstrawitzki3169 Thank you 🫶
I stayed there for 5 nights 8 years ago. Absolutely AMAZING! Definitely one of the highlights of my travels. Dined in Ossiano underneath the beautiful aquarium- INSANE PERFECTION!
travel tip -- not an advert with a good vpn you can change the origin location of your computer --- some hotel chains charge different amounts depending where you are booking from /// different countries // sometimes if a hotel thinks you are in say USA you will get a better rate than if they think you are in germany or UK for example //// - worth researching be aware some hotels are getting wise to this ...
Thank you to show us this hotel. The finishes are chaotic .. Well the interior itself is somehow chaotic. However thank you.
I noticed how your vlogs are becoming so professional, entertaining and funny. Even noticed your socks and the hammock episode was funny. I have stayed in the Atlantis and we also dined at the Kaleidiscope, safe to say I was a few pounds heavier when I left. Can't wait for Sundays vlog.❤
What an amazing hotel, this is just crazy! Great job of showcasing the resort. That suite is massive! The aquarium is so huge..
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for taking us with you to these great hotels with amazing information with complete detailed tours 👏👏👏
Lots of nice things to look at ,a bookshop too! The food and the cakes looked so good , I wanted to see more of it!
Thanks Tim!
I am always impressed how mindful you`re sticking to your budget. I would probably spend more than I planned since there are so many things you can experience. And I like how you check the details of every little thing in such a calm way. Thank you for the hones review.
As a suite guest, you should have had access to the Imperial Club Lounge serving complimentary snacks and afternoon tea and drinks throughout the day and the spa facilities. One of the best bits about staying there!
Great work Tim, only you can review these places in such an entertaining way! Keep up the great work
Luxurious but a little tacky in places. Doesn’t seem like much soul to the hotel. That said the aquarium is amazing. Great video.
Seems very Disney. Which if you're taking kids would be nice, but I'm sure they would prefer actual Disney for a week. And if you're not taking the kids with you, I'd prefer something a bit more secluded
Your room was huge and you had a beautiful view and I love the underwater theme!
Hi Tim Wow how lovely is this . Thanks for sharing with us. Love to you as always Tracey ❤❤❤❤❤
Nice one Tim, yet again you take us to somewhere special that I, personally, will never see. Very good, thank you.
Tim Dear, Your Videos with your attractive presentations are unique.
You show exactly what people like to see!
Best wishes & keep on ever onward
Best travel vlogger 🙌🏻 always look forward to your uploads. Thank you
Wow, thank you!
@@WalkWithMeTim. Same here Tim.
The correct way to use a hammock is the laying in centre with arms to the side where you originally put your head & feet.....so im told. It does feel more comfortable that way. Great videos , interesting and informative 👍 Thank you 👏
Great video again Tim, love the variety of accommodations you review.
That glass sculpture in the lobby is a Chihuly Sculpture. He truly is a great artist.
Hiya Tim , lovely hotel and beautiful room with lovely view, like your socks by the way. Very good price considering you get the water park and aquarium and breakfast and evening meal. Great vlog 👍, happy Easter 🐰🐰
I stayed there for four days with a friend at the end of January 2022. Beautiful hotel ❤
I think £1200 is a fair price considering the size of the suite and the other facilities. I was a bit surprised about the flooding inside and the state of the floor between rooms though.
me too!
Fair?! Wow. I wish I made the kind of money you do!!!
@@js70371 they have rooms there for £250 per night. Quite affordable by 5* hotel standards. He had a whole suite. At the Ritz £1200 would get you a single room with en suite.
I feel you should have taken a HIGHER FLOOR Room FACING the PALM that will be more beautiful with the lights.
Wow, great vid again Tim! I guess the rain was a nice addition to the underwater atmosphere in the hotel? They stick to there theme!
Reminds me of Vegas without the slots. Thanks for sharing. May stop in on my around the world.
yes have to agree
I love the variation of hotels that you explore. My goodness, the room you had in this hotel is bigger than my apartment! Post-retirement, I plan to explore the other side of the ocean as I will have more time but until then, I will keep myself to a flying time of 5 hrs max, even in business or first. There is only so much wine that I can drink before switching over to water:) Thank you again for another great video. Maybe in those retirement years, I will learn how to use the video function on my phone and produce content as well, if I have the patience, lol. Take care!
I heard it rained there and it hadn't rained in yrs and there were expensive cars floating down the rds because all the drains were filled with sand as they are not use to rain, and especially so much of it. That was about a month ago or so, maybe when you were there?
Great video!
Great video. Thanks for taking us along. 🙂
Our pleasure!
An old colleague used to do radio for a station in Dubai - I can see him loving this !
Imagine paying extra for the beach club and then have music blasting all the time. Hotes was impresaive though.
I ate at kaleidoscope a week ago and loved it too!!
Had to giggle at temps up to 40 degrees. When I moved to the UAE last year the day I landed was 48. 40 is basic not max. Hope next time you come it’s not raining. Doesn’t rain often but when it does a lot of things shut down.
Amazing - they sure do know how to make hotels over there, need more work on shower door design though would be quite stressful for some older folk getting locked in.
Tim I'm living vicariously through you...first the Amazing first class flight with a private little nook and amazing food choices (felt like a classy restaurant experience for sure) and my God a shower !! And now the Atlantis.. incredible I'm in Love ❤️ Dubai is truly unreal thank you for your wonderful video's cheers!
Glad you enjoyed it! thank you Sonia
Omg tim amazing tour and hotel hope you had a good flight and got a car maybe thanks 4 sharing happy easter
Thanks KK , Happy Easter no I didn't hire a car on this trip
after seeing your video on the raffles hotel in Qatar, none of these hotels seem impressive anymore. thank you for always being brutally honest in your reviews.
Thank you for the great Vlog - looks amazing and so comfortable although pricey for me TBH i thought it would have been way more for the suite! love the vlogs and how you keep it real ! You should try Bali they have some of the most beautiful hotels - I love Bali and been over 20 times - live in Australia so its the Ozzie go to place. I am sure you would love it! Food is great and cheap and the people are beautiful, friendly and helpful. You could hire a Villa and take the family!

Saw this hotel of course when visiting back in late 2015 but didn't choose to stay here. Wow! Quite expensive but you can also tell it's high quality too. Great vlog. Thanks!
What amazes me about Dubai is the clientele. They obviously have lots of money but not much else as regards taste. I couldn't imagine people from the Shires wanting to holiday in such an elaborate complex. It appears cheap and branded, with little authenticity or soul. Give me the wild and unpredictable terrain of natural surroundings, anyday of the week.
I live in the northeast corner of New Jersey (where somewhat surprisingly, we have dense woods, with bears, coyotes, foxes - and I can only see one other house from mine) and I felt the same way. Everything is big and gaudy. Dubai has never been a 'bucket list' place for me so I'm happy to experience it second hand - but I will definitely watch some other videos from Tim now!
@@jtidema agree😊✨
@@jtidema Sort of reminded me of the aesthetic 'crimes' perpetrated by Trump in the '80's.
100% agree.
Do you say the same thing about Las Vegas?? I’m sure you don’t! Dubai should be considered the same as Vegas,stop hating ..you people are so biased and jealous because it’s the Middle East.
What is it with hotels having musty smelling hotel rooms??? One of my favorite hotels where I live sometimes has a musty smell and it's fairly new.
We love Atlantis in Dubai, with the only downside being that when you holiday elsewhere afterwards you are always disappointed 😏
Ps. I have a quick video tour of the 10k per night Grand Atlantis suite 🙈
the amount that they spent on the place and it leaks when it rains! Wow! I have to ask, do you never feel self conscious walking around talking to the camera? You do a great job, love the videos!
It looks like Stromberg's gaff in The Spy Who Loved Me when you see the fish 😀
The aquarium is great. But ever since that one exploded recently….I’d be worried getting close to that expanse of glass. 😳
Wow!! Absolutely gorgeous!
I love him he’s quite honest with review & the way he talk brings so much fun . & it’s 4 am here m watching his videos 😂😂
Great review as always Tim! I avoid staying in hotels this large; I much prefer smaller luxury or boutique hotels. I think the hotel all looks a little bit cheap and tacky, but I'm sure the Atlantis is great fun especially if you're travelling as a family. I can definitely see the appeal for this kind of resort, but for me the hotel gives off all inclusive cruise liner vibes which is just not my cup of tea. Each to their own though!
Fair enough!
Lovely vlog Tim. U do so well showing us everything. So expensive though🫣
Stayed close to this hotel.
X
Not for me. I’d keep well clear.
honestly this is one of the rare time I'd consider staying at an expensive hotels if I had the money, the place is pretty and I loved the aquarium especially.
tim stuck in the shower is pretty funny lol. Good thing there were not another 5 people in there with him LOL!
I didn't think much of your balcony either Tim, to Narrow at the sides.
The musty smell in the corridors put me off a bit!
And that dodgy shower door, such a horror being trapped in a shower in a Hotel Room!
Liked the Gigantic Mini Egg Bath!
Your room is plush.
Shame it was Raining so much in Dubai for your stay!
The under water suite with all the fishes was amazing!
This is so artificial looking to me like Las Vegas without the people..
I hate artificial things, especially Las Vegas, but when I went to this hotel my mind was blown and it is the best hotel in the world, closest you’ll get to perfect! 👌
It will be getting musty now with all the flooding.
Sensored snacks haha
So unbelievably hyped for this! Thanks for all the videos Tim, and the effort you put in
Thanks Chris Hope you enjoy it!
@@WalkWithMeTimtoo GRAND FOR ME!
Beautiful hotel. I have never once thought about going to Dubai. But this had changed my mind.
The hotel looked like a posh shopping mall and I can't stand malls so that would put me off but the swimming pool areas looked lovely. I like old buildings as it enriches the soul so not sure what Dubai would offer me apart from the weather. I was surprised at the hotel room as I would have thought attention to detail would be high here but the carpets, shower door, would be a big annoyance at that money. But when you think back about when these were built and who built them and the timescales they were given it's not surprising some things aren't perfect.
I agree about the shopping mall vibe, takes away the charm but makes oodles of money...the building itself looks beautiful from a distance, but the leaking interior is dangerous (risk of slipping) etc. Not acceptable. Also would that outdoor'club' area always have that loud music blaring during the day i wonder ? Love Tim's careful, fascinating videos.
Love your videos..! You are getting better and better, great camera work, beautiful visuals, great commentry, good pace of interesting details... Keep it up.
LOL! Love the socks, Gaby! 😆
There’s like a full mall inside…crazy. I heard the water park is another universe, with so many slides. We need to visit one day, somehow. I’ve been to Dubai few years ago but only saw the hotel from outside. It looks incredible from inside too. ❤
Like a grotesque, over the top Trafford Centre
All style over substance
Slightly warmer than Manchester though 😂
@@andrewwaller5913 Cloudy though!
@@SquishyPS3 Wait until June and its 48c !
Tim, we visited, the Atlantis on the day of the huge storm on April 16th. I think the musty smells are due to the fact rain water was pouring through every wall in reception and the floor of the shopping area and aquarium was flooded. What date did you visit?
Looks beautiful there ❤
Thanks for sharing your visit the hotel looked nice your suite and especially outside nice but not for me far too big.
Love being able to see all the fish in the underwater room! Much love
Timmy boy back at it again with another fire video! I love the honest critique of the hotels he stays at.
The glass sculpture chandelier shown in the hotel foyer is by America glass artist Dale Chihuly. ❤
Great to visit the Seattle site.
@@cannavaras agreed, I loved my visit to see his art in Seattle. When I travel I look to see if there are pieces of his art that I can visit.
I've said it b4 & I,ll say again tim you are the best you tuber and brilliant at what you do. Worth everything you earn on you tube n more, it's a pleasure to send to you. Wonderful with the camera you have the right attitude and persona to work with and around ppl, gaby is very very fortunate. But a lovely family never the less. 😊
As always Tim what an Awesome video. I loved the underwater theme.
You could try to check room with The Imperial option. Its cost little but more but have access to different breakfast area, dinner area and also tea area ;)
Ive been binging your videos!! never been into travel vids but yours are addictive 😁 From Cape Town. May your channel grow even more!
What amazing hotel. Those desserts look lovely. Happy Easter and to your family.
The extra “plain suite” would probably be used for an Au pair or similar helper I would think. This is Dubai after all.😁Thank you for the wonderful luxurious experience of first class travel to an iconic city!❤
Its always been on my bucket list to stay at the Atlantis and my daughter has always wanted to go to their water park.
One day hopefully 🤞
Thanks Tim for what can only be another fascinating review by you on this wonder of a hotel.
Thanks Tony
I'm so glad I get to travel with you and see all these amazing hotels. I would've liked to see them in person, but since I can't, I'll go along with you! Thank you for making these wonderful videos! You have such a nice, upbeat personality... you always make me smile!
Another brilliant review around an amazing hotel. The decor and size of it was beautiful. I loved the fact you can see the aquarium and your suite looked amazing.
Hi Tim , well you certainly take us to the best places Tim , so much to see and do ....... although I did feel as you walked through the food area it reminded me of a giant shopping mal????
Loved the aquarium ❤ and thought the price was reasonable for what you got . Shame about the rain ..... just like home in the uk never ending. Thanks Tim great video.
