I never thought I'd be writing a review. But. . . The photo gallery of the hotel is the glory of photoshop. In fact, everything is shabby, old, dirty, mountain garbage . . The stink (next to the Radisson treatment plant), if the wind is in the direction of the motel, it smells like from the toilet. The rooms are KILLED! And this is in the UAE! SHAME! !

In fact, everything is shabby, old, dirty, mountain garbage . . The stink (next to the Radisson treatment plant), if the wind is in the direction of the motel, it smells like from the toilet. The rooms are KILLED! And this is in the UAE! SHAME! ! My husband and I were in shock. We were going to have a wonderful vacation, but got a lot of nastiness. In order. Upon arrival (and this is after 23-00) we were not even offered a bite to eat. We walk through the territory: there is dirt all around, coals from barbecues, wrappers and packaging, greasy stains on the paths, sewerage stinks, trash cans are overflowing. . And so for all 7 days. For some reason, no one is in a hurry to clean up. The rooms are dirty, the air conditioner is rewound with tape, it rumbles like a tractor, the same refrigerator. The taps are leaking, the bath is shabby, the tiles are beaten, glued with tape. The kitchen is terrible, the furniture is falling apart, there is a lone kettle and that's it. No tea sets, no utensils. There is also a nightclub on the territory, the music rumbles from 21-00 to 3-00, you will not be able to sleep.
. Food: No buffet. No service room! The first breakfast was a shock: the menu was not brought, they were informed that there are three types of breakfast - continental, American and Arabic. What it is is not explained. Ordered the first two. I eat an American (the omelet listed below, etc. ), in front of my husband an empty table. It turned out that the continental breakfast includes two toasts, a jam, margarine, a medic, six slices of fruit and a slice of a cupcake with tea. Every day the same breakfasts (scrambled eggs, sausage, beans, two thin pieces of ham, tea with milk, a piece of cake, margarine, jam, honey, two pieces of apple, melon, watermelon), believe me, after 3 days I was already sick. French fries are a must for lunch. If the salad is a bite from the heart. If meat - then pepper, so that the eyes climb on the forehead. The food is disgusting. For some reason, without our consent, they changed our dinner for lunch and, moreover, very categorically. We went on an excursion, arrived after 22-00. We asked for lunch in our room. But no... They waited for us until late, so that we ate in the canteen. An incomprehensible attitude towards our tourists... As you understand, there is no mention of either a children's or a dietary menu. There is nothing to do with kids. There is no food. A beautiful playground - it's photoshop. In fact, these are old rusty, shabby, skewed swings-carousels, broken and torn off in places, moving with a terrible creak.
On the beach, feet and slippers in fuel oil, where it is not clear. Someone wrote that in the sea there are turtles, stingrays and all sorts of uti-ways... Nonsense! The coral is dead. A few shy fish, a little more near the breakwater, still not enough. But at the bottom there is a lot of garbage: cans, bags, pieces of rope, etc. The ocean during the tide is muddy and carries mud. But the water was really warm, 28-30 degrees. If you want beauty, you should only go to the Red Sea. The service here and there has already caught up.
In the diving center, Slavik offers to take 45 dollars to the sharks for nothing. for 1 hour (this is 900 meters from the coast), supposedly there are unearthly beauties. Don't believe! People went, everything is the same, only they saw a couple of reef sharks. This is not an ocean, but an ecological disaster! On the 6th day I wanted to go home. This has never happened before. Excursions with a guide, as usual, are expensive: 170 dollars each. in Dubai, 125 dollars. in Abu Dhabi... When we left, we were once again pleased with the redneck: they gave a dry breakfast of three slices of bread, jam, margarine, medica, two slices of cake, an apple and a banana. Everything! They didn't even put water in! This is the Emirates, a rich country! Nearby hotels are neat, clean, but this is just a garbage dump! Don't ruin your vacation! By the way, the new owner gave it 4 stars, proudly called it a Resort, before that there was a 1 star motel, and judging by the reviews, it was much better than the current RESORT. I could not even imagine that in the Emirates there could be such unsanitary conditions and terrible service. I DO NOT RECOMMEND EVEN TO THE ENEMY!! !

I chose from the Internet. I liked it super, I agree with those who wrote, that this is a corner of paradise. The room has a view of the Indian Ocean, which is 50 meters from the beach. The check-in took 20-30 minutes. The room is quite cozy, 5 Russian channels. Recreation for those who want to relax in silence and swim. … More ▾ I chose from the Internet.

Stayed at the hotel from 20.03 to 30.03. 2014. It's not an easy vacation, but it's a great vacation. Motel Holiday is just super! And this is not only my personal opinion and the opinion of all the Russians who were on vacation with me at the same time. Believe me, our compatriots from Russia mostly constantly rest there and there are a lot of them, few people write reviews about this wonderful motel, just Russian mother laziness. … More ▾ Stayed at the hotel from 20.03 to 30.03. 2014. It's not an easy vacation, but it's a great vacation. Motel Holiday is just super! And this is not only my personal opinion and the opinion of all the Russians who were on vacation with me at the same time. Believe me, our compatriots from Russia mostly constantly rest there and there are a lot of them, few people write reviews about this wonderful motel, just Russian mother laziness. The motel exceeded all my expectations, everything you need for a quiet, relaxing holiday and complete relaxation, everything is in Holiday. Full compliance with price and quality. What I wanted, I got in full. I was alone and not looking for any adventure on my head. I did not need any noisy parties and some super-animations, night discos. All I needed was a beach holiday.
For those who need extreme and fun, this motel is not suitable, it needs either Dubai or Sharjah, maybe there you will find what you are looking for, only the price tag and the bustle in large centers is a completely different type of holiday, but not a beach one. True, there are a couple of nightclubs on the territory of Holiday, one Indian, the other Arabic, apparently with its own local flavor, but I have never been there, although the music played until three in the morning, even prevented some from sleeping (mostly, for some reason, the female sex) yes and then with the open doors of his chalet. I slept well, ventilating the room with air conditioning before going to bed, closing the doors, putting it on a gentle auto mode, and in the morning opening the door I slept under the fresh sea clean morning air.
My tour operator was BIBLIO-GLOBUS (an Arab companion of VOYAGE), just a great company, an excellent carrier Russian airline TRANSAERO, in the hotel a guide from the tour operator, there was a very good woman, a wonderful person Elena, who did not impose anything on anyone, very competently and intelligently with everyone communicated, gave broad information about the place of stay about all the nuances, where everything is located, gave advice on any issue of interest. Since last year I was on almost all the excursions I was interested in when I was vacationing in Sharjah, I didn’t take anything, and Elena didn’t sell me anything, as usual with other tour operators, just lovely.
All that I needed after Mother Russia was peace and rest, in general, the sun, clean sea and mountain air, and the blue sea, I got all this in Holiday. I will not describe all the episodes of my ten-day stay.
What I want to write, I had an all-inclusive package, I specifically took this option so that I wouldn’t bother with anything else, except for relaxation, and I knew in advance that Fujairah is not Dubai or Sharjah, where there are a lot of shops and malls with food and drink water. And I didn’t really want to go to Diba in Lu-Lu for 40 dirhams (ours is about 400 rubles) back and forth. True, once I went for a company with friends from St. Petersburg, I wanted to buy a mask and a snorkel in Lu-Lu, but I didn’t find anything, the store is big, good, solid, but like everything else in the Emirates. So I didn’t have any headaches with food or drinking water (in any quantity and for free), the all-inclusive package does not differ much in price from the same half-board, but you don’t get warm for anything.
Alcohol, of course, does not flow like water in Turkey or Egypt, but I needed this, it was enough that for lunch I took a jar of branded original beer, Australian or Dutch, very tasty, and for dinner I ordered a glass of red dry wine, for appetite and eliminate excess solar radiation. Upon arrival at the motel, a very cordial meeting was waiting for me at the reception with a very nice guy named George, the room was given instantly. They settled me in a chalet at number 104, the most beautiful huge, clean, well-groomed room, with access to the motel, 30-40 meters from the sea and 10 from the beach. The furniture in the room is not new, but very well-groomed, LCD TV, where I first tuned in to five Russian-language channels, and then a good local guy, after applying to the receptionist, tuned 3 more additional channels, including RTRplaneta, RUSSIA24 and Chanson, so I was aware of everyone events.
In addition, I had a tablet with a bunch of downloaded great films, and full access to the motel WI-FI, which I took everywhere and it was excellent, there were some failures a couple of times in the room, especially after the rain, but short-lived, since there is several WI-FI points, so you won’t be left without communication with the outside world, I sent SMS for free via the Internet, and I called my family four times from the reception for 5 dirhams a minute, just class. In the room upon arrival, I had a gift basket with fruit and a bottle of excellent dry white South African wine and a refrigerator full of one and a half liter bottles of drinking water. The room is very good, there is everything and air conditioning and a small kitchen, though without a stove and a solid (though not new) clean bathroom, sink and bath with shower, everything is just super and believe me, there is something to compare both in Russia and abroad.
But the best thing is that when you leave the room you almost immediately find yourself on the shores of the Gulf of Oman, you could just leave the room in swimming trunks with a towel, snorkel and mask and immediately find yourself on a very cozy and clean motel beach. Bay guys is just a miracle of miracles, this is a living sea, just lovely, the fish are no worse than in the Red Sea, turtles, rays, hedgehogs, cuttlefish, and whoever rode a boat to the local rock saw harmless coral sharks and even more delights.
Of course, we must also remember that the bay has its own marine life and this must be constantly remembered, people who are afraid of something, it is better to be careful and careful when leaving or sailing away from the coast, especially at low tides and storms, when visibility in the water decreases, it is worth being vigilant about old corals and hedgehogs, although they are sitting in their bunkers, it’s still a hedgehog and stepping on one of the needles will not be very pleasant, although thank God I didn’t have this, it’s better to buy special shoes, and who swims in a mask with a snorkel, and even in fins, you should not be afraid of anything at all, it's just a thrill! Well, as the local diver Slavik told me, if you don’t touch anyone, then no one will hurt you, and our compatriots in the borderline state (especially alcohol they sell high-quality and very cheap behind the hotel) love to do this, especially with regard to turtles and small crabs .
I arrived without anything, I bought a mask and snorkel in a set in a mini-market on the territory of the motel for only 50 dirhams (for ours, about 500 rubles), a mask and snorkel for rent at a diving center will cost 25 dirhams (for ours, about 250 rubles) for each day , expensive. Dollars for dirhams can be exchanged directly at the motel reception at the rate of 3.50 (in Lu-Lu the rate is 3.66, they take a tax, and even return the money to get there) so that there are almost no losses. The beach of the hotel has a lot of large sunbeds, clean cleaning every day, there are few people on the beach, and even then this is our Russian brother hotel guests, the exceptions are the days when local Arabs come for the weekend (Friday, Saturday), and even then they rest near the pool. Also, closer to twelve o'clock in the afternoon, groups from hotels, mainly from Sharjah, came several times for $ 55 per person to spend 4 hours in our paradise. The weather at this time of the year is the most favorable for a good rest.
True, it rained one day, and it was very warm, in which I also swam and it was very cool, the sun didn’t seem to be hot, but you can get burned in no time, so don’t neglect creams, the temperature of the air and water did not drop below 20 degrees and above 30 did not rise, it was very good fresh sea water and warm, not hot air. The food was excellent, although not very varied (in terms of side dishes), but very tasty and fresh, there were plenty of vegetables (tomatoes, cucumbers, cabbage, beets) and fruits (watermelons, melons, lemons, oranges, etc. ) fresh juices, no one left hungry, people even came to eat from the five-star neighboring Radisson, the quality of food was no worse, but at a price much cheaper.
The motel staff is just great, friendly, helpful and attentive, always ready to help, everyone is just great guys (I would especially like to mention the cool guys, George the manager from the reception, Sunny the manager at the restaurant, lifeguards - Richard, Bilal and Nelson, and also Dirk boy - a cleaner who settled me in the room). I liked everything very much, the motel lives up to its standards and even more than that, I would give Holiday a full four stars, and maybe all five, but this is not a joke for me to decide. I also want to say who is traveling with children, there is no children’s animation there, by definition, I don’t know, maybe there is somewhere in the Emirates, otherwise some come and are indignant, but where did you watch it before, this is not Turkey for you, although those children who came strongly did not bored. Well, in general, that's all, I think that no one will print my speech in such a volume, I wrote from the bottom of my heart and from the bottom of my heart.
Everything is perfect and great and if possible I will definitely go to this motel more than once. If you missed something, everything is very well and fully stated in previous reviews, read and decide, because the choice is yours, friends.

Rested 17.02. 2013 to 1.03. 2013. I liked it very much, the nature is magnificent + peace and quiet. The maximum number of tourists is 9 people, Arab families come for the weekend, but they were practically not seen and heard, sometimes they brought Excursions to the beach and there were 3 days of Poles on a combined tour, so they were drunk and made a lot of noise at night. … More ▾ Rested 17.02. 2013 to 1.03. 2013.

The motel is located two hours drive from Dubai, the oldest in this part of the coast, but everything in the room functioned properly, the rooms are large with a kitchenette, they gave us dishes in the restaurant, and a kettle at the reception. Cleaning and changing bedding and towels will be done only if you hang a sign on the door, otherwise they will not enter the room. The tour was taken with 2 meals a day, the Breakfasts are monotonous but everything is delicious and the portions are very large, instead of dinner we went for lunch, there were fruits every day. In those days when excursions were brought from other hotels - a buffet. From the supermarkets, we stopped at Lulu in Dibba, a taxi in the same direction for 16 dirhams, private traders stand outside the gates almost all day, it is advisable to agree on a price right away, and remind them back to turn on the meter and have dirhams to calculate because. taxi drivers themselves will come up with a course. In the supermarket, you can pay in dollars, change is given at the rate. You can buy fish in Lulu. and in a motel for 100 AED you can take a brazier. We took one tour from a tour operator at a hotel in Abu Dhabi, I liked everything except the guide, and the hotel guide Tanya (Natalie Tour) is a wonderful girl beyond praise, all issues were resolved instantly, a very nice girl. We bought the second excursion to Dubai on the recommendation of a young couple from Yekaterinburg from a private trader. I more than liked it, the tour took 12 hours, we saw the whole city, took us where we wanted, talked a lot about the country, its history, customs, etc. The impressions are magnificent, it is clear that the person himself is interested in the history of the emirates, he spoke with passion. We have kept his phone number and highly recommend. (I will answer privately). Due to the remoteness of the motel, the choice of excursions is not large, and Aslam carries everywhere, you just need to agree in advance. FOR YOUTH - no entertainment, only a shisha bar and a diving center, Diving Mistress Alla from Kyiv, if you send greetings from Natalia and Valentina from Cherkasy. If there are questions I will try to answer
