This is my second visit to the UAE. And both times I flew from Bounty Travel. I can only say good things about the travel agency and its employees. Alina last year and Susanna this year proved to be knowledgeable and attentive professionals. Everything was done on time with no fuss. Last year I stayed at the 5-star Samaya Hotel in Dubai. This year, on the advice of Susanna, the hotel "Sumerland" 3 stars in Sharjah was chosen. And to be honest, Susanna, thank you for insisting on this hotel, because in general I liked it more than "THE MOST". and here are its advantages over Dubai five stars in order: 1). Sharjah is quieter than Dubai, the air is cleaner than less fuss. Every day a free bus to Dubai solved all the problems of his visit. 2) The bay is nearby in a three-minute walk. No need to wait for late buses to and from the beach. Last year in Dubai I was on the beach only twice because it takes too much time. This year I ran twice a day. . And even caught a crab, which is full here! 3) The rooms are MUCH SPACIOUS we had a two-room suite consisting of a large entrance hall-kitchen in which there was a TV, a refrigerator, a microwave, a kettle, utensils, a bedroom and a huge bathroom. The only thing is that the furniture is not the first freshness, but attention was paid to this only on the first day, then they forgot about it. The five star Samai had a small room and bath and no microwave which is a must when eating only breakfast, mind you! 4) Every day everything was changed for us! linen, towels, toothbrushes, without reminders and persuasion, the room was cleaned quickly and cleanly. In "Samai" until you put a tip, they won't take it away! 5) On the territory of the pool, tennis table, exercise equipment rooms with balconies in the “samay” there was a small pool on the roof and there were no balconies, which made it very difficult to dry the washed things. No matter how you spin, but you still need to wash it, you can’t get away from it! 6) Inferior to "Samaya" only breakfast is, of course, rather poor. But the main thing for me was oatmeal. I love this porridge and the huge advantage of Sharjah was that in a 20-minute walk we found the fish and vegetable markets. Where vegetables and seafood cost an order of magnitude less than in the store. WE BUYED SHRIMP AND CRAB ALL WEEK and in our restaurant they cooked them for us. 1 kg of already cooked crabs cost us 300 rubles! I won’t talk about freshness, of course, it was still fluttering when buying. In general, we ate vegetables, fruits and seafood. And drinking establishments in Sharjah are much cheaper than in Dubai and the food is tastier. So if you take the food as a whole, then Sumerland wins again! 7) Sharjah is a beautiful emirate; there are also embankments and parks and even fountains that are not inferior to Dubai ones. There is a Sharjah city center where prices are lower even than in Deira. Well, given the last advantage that hotels in Sharjah do not have to pay fees a year ago introduced in Dubai hotels. THAT SHARJAH IS BETTER FOR RECREATION in any scenario 8) Excursions. We were not lucky enough to see a guide from Corel Travel. These are your employees, dear Corel! The girls Marina and Dasha are Russian-speaking and help with advice in any situation, which, believe me, in a foreign country reduces a lot of nerves, time and, most importantly, MONEY! clearly without a single remark. LEARN TOUR OPERATORS! And I would have fired our guide who didn’t even come to the meeting! the hotel is very polite and hospitable, there were no conflicts, although I am not a simple person in this regard, but the staff reacted instantly to all comments from the service, and at the same time the incidents were exhausted before they even started! INTERNET EVERYWHERE ON THE TERRITORY OF THE HOTEL PERMANENTLY AND FREE OF CHARGE! Thanks Susanna for the advice, I doubted the choice of the hotel for a long time! But I don’t regret it much! All the following foreign trips are only with you. In the UAE, my choice is now Ras Al Khaimah. I want a beach holiday with rare trips to Dubai and Abu Dhabi! All the best to everyone.
