Valentine’s Day staycation idea: Aloft City Center Deira

There is a lot riding on Valentine’s Day.

First, you need to find the perfect present, and then play it cool, like you’re not terrified she won’t like it.

Then you have to find an amazing restaurant for dinner, make sure you’re not late (do you bring flowers? Or leave them at home?). And all the while you need to be thoughtful and charming – but not overpowering, of course – until the dessert arrives.

But what then? A stroll along the creek? A tipple back at home?

The point we are trying to make is: Valentine’s Day is a minefield. Step one foot wrong, and that’s the year ruined (or at least, you’ll never hear the end of it) for your relationship.

Fortunately, we’ve found a better idea – book a Valentine’s Day staycation and put all the responsibility on another person’s shoulders.

In this case, the Aloft City Center Deira. The new Valentine’s Day package aims to make the day of love a simple one, complete with an overnight stay, breakfast in bed, two complimentary drinks and access to the splash pool for the entire day.

The best part? At AED360 it won’t break the bank (best not to tell her that though).

Now take those savings, and pick her out an excellent gift from Esquire’s Valentine’s Day Gift Guide (you – and your relationship – can thank us later).
