No problem, phew!

I'd just like to reiterate that the exec lounge staff at the Mina A'Salam just can't do enough for you!

For example, small things, like the way I like my capuchino done, (4 shots and extra dry) explained this on the first day, and they made it exactly the same way every day at breakfast for the rest of the week, even by a different member of staff. They must have been briefed or something

(Oh yes, thats another thing, you can take breakfast in the exec lounge which is much quieter than the main restaurant)

Also big things like when we asked to visit Burj Al Arab, they said we could go on one of the chauffeured golf carts and I said I would prefer to go in the 7 series BMW and they arranged this for me there and back and didn't charge us for it, saying that this would be complimentary because we had a 1yo baby with us at the time.

They also handled our restaurant reservations, made recommendations of things we could do, etc etc the list goes on.
