Wife and I are staying for 3 nights in April. Its our first time to Dubai and likely will not be back for some years.

Is it worth the $700+ per night for the Atlantis Palm or one of the Jumeirah properties at Madinat? Or should we stay at Jumeriah Emirates Towers for $400/night and take advantage of one time reciprocal benefits?

Maybe use my points to stay at Crowne plaza, Intercontinental or Radisson blu for free and just wonder over to these resorts and walk around to experience them?

HELP!
