Lovely fresh hotel (first season after renovation)!

Very elegant and chic interiors, natural materials everywhere (beautiful stone and wood). Everything is made to the highest standard. Everything shines (nothing is slapped, not scratched, not wiped). Everything from the needle!

The hotel has chic halls for celebrations, including a ballroom (we held the New Year in it).

Great service! There are Russian-speaking staff at the reception and in restaurants. You can leave anything in the rooms, no one will take even a trifle. Tips are not asked. Service unobtrusively.

Excellent restaurants (especially main and Italian). Everything is very, very tasty. All kinds of dishes (meat, fish, seafood, whatever). Cakes with refined taste (without cream, cheese, etc. ). Huge selection of cheeses of various types. Good fruits.
In the hotel restaurants you can order wine and spirits. And in the shops of the city there is not even beer.

And wonderful (at least take a break from the ubiquitous Russian drunken youth, wild cackle, etc. )!

At the level of the hall - Piano Bar. Jazz is played and sung in the evenings. You will listen. And the aroma of coffee...It can be seen that locals often visit hotels just for a cup of coffee, to look through newspapers, to meet. Very pleasant atmosphere!

Heated pool. Clean and comfortable changing rooms (plus showers and toilets in adjacent rooms). Gym + jacuzzi + sauna + steam chamber. Beach + fresh grass soccer field + best fish restaurant in town. A beach with a view of the bulk shaft, but this is everywhere in the Emirates (firstly, so that no rubbish is brought from the sea, and secondly, a construction boom - they are expanding the coastline everywhere and pouring islands, thirdly, the sea is enough for you). The water is clean, the sand is soft.

Beautiful territory. The hotel is located on a hill. From the windows you can see the chic President Hotel, the sea - from two sides. In the direction of the sea - a yacht club (prestigious).
You go to the beach just through the boat station.

The hotel is located a short distance from the city (10 minutes walk). It's great. And the city is visible, and at the same time quiet and calm. Nearby (on an island) - a large shopping center Marina Mall + amusement park with a Ferris wheel.

The embankment (which was expanded towards the sea) is within easy reach. Along the entire embankment there is a magnificent bike path. Great rent, I recommend!

The local people are very responsive and kind. As soon as the map was opened in the shopping center, someone immediately asked: "Are you lost? Can I help you? ". The ATM "ate" the card - a young married couple helped to contact the bank - the owner of the ATM, asked: "When are you leaving? Did you have the last money on the card? " the truth was not the last). This attitude touched me to the core.
Taxis are very affordable with a flat fee per kilometer. Across the city - 2-3 dollars (taxi drivers also take dollars, but they don't give change).


Clean not only in the hotel and its territory, but in general in the city. Car tires are so black (clean) like at a car dealership. There is no dirt or dust.

Irrigation installations, flowers, greenery everywhere. And this is where the desert used to be. (But this is only in the emirate of Abu Dhabi! In Dubai, the emir most of all loves skyscrapers and new wonders of the world, and greenery - there figs. )

The rest was excellent, and the New Year's Eve was a fairy tale!
