This is the funniest thing I've read in ages! Geez the owners will be mad!

We are booked in there next month

Hahahahaha - That is Gold

Choice quotes:

It’s the world’s most ostentatious hotel, plonked on a palm-shaped island five kilometres from the most soulless country this side of the equator.

A gob-smacking vision in cold sore pink, it opened to paying customers this week despite the best efforts of a fire that ripped through the central lobby two weeks ago.

Here, £14,000 will buy [Beckham's] wife one Arabian night in 1,105 square yards of hotel, the use of six bedrooms, 12 khazis, one gold-plated dinner table, two butlers, two maids, a dishwasher and two of the world’s most under-employed chefs.

It would seem the UK press have fallen out of love with our wonderful sunny adopted home.

He may have a few valid points...mind you, I reckon the Atlantis PR agency may have to suffer the rough end of a pineapple stuffed somewhere that makes their eyes water when the owners read all about it!

Well lets face it, all the press here are pussies, so you;re never going to get anything like this are you.

They wouldn't be allowed to get it into print! Everything here is perfect, we live in utopia...

Ally Ross, a good old Aberdeen boy.

The Sunday Times did a slightly less sarcastic but still not exactly complimentary article on Atlantis a couple of months ago

I went out yesterday and had a look at the Atlantis. From what I saw I agree with both aticles, but loved the Sun piece, much funnier!!

It's certainly a better review than the garbage printed in the Sun, but hey that suits all the people that make a hobby of coming down on Dubai, even though some of them live here.

Unfortunately it might interest some of their readers to come here on vacation.

They don't care if the building looks like a big pink cake, as long as the management have big tits!
