  • Hey Chris, what's your budget? How long do you want to go for?

    With no budget limitations I could recommend a few hotels in Dubai, but this is heavily resort based - so not really right if you like to experience the culture of the country you're visiting.
  • I think all inclusive are usually always resort based. Dubai is fab I agree with vicshippers

  • Where in Dubia would you say?

    We would like AI but more for the sport than the food- although the food/drink are most welcome!

    We are looking at a short stay of 5/6 nights max October
  • I don't actually think Dubai is fab - it's too resort based and commercial for me (I've been there a few times with work). If you're looking for sport, then Dubai might not be right as it is extremely hot, even in October and it really is VERY restaurant/hotel orientated. Saying that, I have stayed in the Meridien Mina AI - but that's it. Not many Dubai hotels sign up for it in my experience.
  • The Jebel Ali is good for inclusive watersports and golf, but out of town, although they do have a bus going in.
    The Hilton at Ras Al Khaimah do an excellent all inclusive and again have a beach club but maybe not too heavy on sports.
    There as another new one we were at in town AI but we didn't like the location, don't remember what it's called, but if we are staying in town we usually just go b&b.

  • www.travelcollection.co.uk usually have good deals for 5 nights AI in UAE

    I second Mexico, its a great place for all inclusive and its safe to go out the resort.

    Should be dirt cheap due to people put off by the over exaggerated swine flu.
