Booking Tips
- Compare hotel direct vs. OTAs (Booking.com, Expedia, Agoda) — direct often includes perks (breakfast, late checkout, resort credit).

- Consider Palm Jumeirah monorail access for Dubai Metro connection.
- For families: 2-bedroom villas/apartments often better value than multiple rooms.
