What on earth is wrong with you!?
This is click bait of the worst kind.
Almost none of these hotels have lazy rivers, do some work and stop earing money sending people to properties that do not have the one thing they have searched for and you have promised that they had!
People might spend a lot of money on a holiday only to realise when they get there that some shmo of third party website, lied through their teeth just for click bait. This article is worse than nothing... why do you get out of bed in the morning if just to screw with people.
All I had to do was look at the first three...
Royal Central Hotel The Palm, no lazy river
Atlantis, yes, one of the only ones
Al Khoory Executive Hotel... does not even have a swimming pool.
You are robbing people of their money if they believe your nonsense
