How many stars is Atlantis Hotel Palm Island?

"It's six stars!" Challenges cannot be the main attraction of Dubai's tourism projects, such as indoor ski resorts, unfinished world's tallest skyscrapers, and artificial islands including Palm Jumeirah, which is only the smallest of the three planned islands. ?

As a "companion piece" of Atlantis Hotel in Paradise Island, Bahamas, the biggest stunt of Atlantis Hotel in Palm Island is to "become a family entertainment resort with the theme of ocean". It has a huge aquarium with 65,000 fish, including stingrays and other marine fish, and a dolphin hall that can accommodate dozens of bottlenose dolphins. The "big move" of dolphins in Solomon Islands in the South Pacific caused great controversy. The top floor of the hotel is extremely luxurious. The penthouse suite has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, and a gold leaf dining table for 65,438+08 people. The cost per night is as high as 13000. ?

For a long time, the development projects that Dubai government spared no expense have been criticized by environmentalists.

In 2007, environmental organizations and some Solomon Islands residents protested the sale of dolphins. It is reported that it takes about 30 hours to transport dolphins to Dubai by plane. However, for the accusations from the outside world, the openers have nothing to fear. ?

The highest check-in fee in the Middle East?
