Hotel ratings by criteria:
The hotel consists of two two-story buildings with standard rooms and a chalet, the entire set of everything that they have corresponds to the advertising description. We asked our travel agent for a room with a sea view, but in this hotel in the main building there is no sea view, there are not even balconies (sea view only from the chalet). Although this is the first line, the strait with a small current 300 meters wide is called the sea here.
If you don’t know other languages ​ ​ besides spoken Russian, written Russian and Russian obscene language, then two Russian girls work at the reception in turn, a Russian waitress in the restaurant, in front of the pool, at the issuance of towels (free of charge) - also Russian, in a restaurant near the beach Bulgarian.
If the meeting tour company forgot about you (as it was with us), then for excursions, contact the reception directly, this issue is resolved quickly and competently. For 10 days we were on 4 excursions, this is a sightseeing tour of Abu Dhabi, a sightseeing tour of Dubai, a jeep safari after which, in the lotus position, we ate barbecue and watched a belly dance (alcohol for some money - a bottle of French red or white wine - 95 dirham or at the rate = 3.66, which corresponds to $ 26), and also went to the Indian Ocean. I didn’t manage to admire the exceptionally diverse underwater world, as it was written in the advertisement, except for a flock of barbs and a couple of small ones, with an elbow, sharks, other living creatures, through a mask, I didn’t see, but at the same time, the water in the Persian Gulf is much clearer and warmer than in our hotel. Fish and corals must be seen in Sharm El Sheikh. In general, we really enjoyed all the excursions.

Now about the food, it is varied and has a choice. The hotel has a large restaurant with buffet and à la carte menus. Buffet costs 70 dirhams per person, regardless of the time of day. Nearby is a small bar where you can eat for 35 dirhams (fish day, meat and potatoes day), even cheaper at the pizzeria by the pool. A portion of pizza is designed for 6 people, two will not master it (for a smaller order is not accepted), you can order one portion of fish or meat with potatoes, divide it into two and both will be full. This information is for those who have already spent money, but want to eat.
A little about shopping. Audio-video-photo equipment costs the same as in Moscow, clothes - too, 24 carat gold (750 fineness) - an average of $ 12 per gram (in Moscow - $ 23), while you can and should bargain.
From the hotel every hour there is a free bus to the main street of Abu Dhabi, you can also take a taxi - the cost is 20 dirhams one way.
Near the hotel (by taxi - 5 dirhams) there is a large indoor artificial skating rink, you can go ice skating (alone).
