Went with girlfriends to this hotel for a week, for relaxation and shopping during the so advertised Shopping Festival. From the hotel just in shock! The room is normal big, but everything else is horror! Firstly: it is not located in Dubai, but in Sharjah! Right on the border! We went every day by taxi, and it was very expensive, because there are traffic jams all the time, and there is no other transport! The hotel did not provide a transfer at all! They also overpaid for the road + for crossing the border of the districts at once 20 derhams, and it turned out 50-80 derhams one way! Well, at least they divided it by 4, it saved. In general, it’s very bad, far from all establishments, no cafes for you, no restaurants, no music! Lived in prison! Not a soul around! There were no people to be seen. There are only Indians and Pakistanis around at construction sites, but they are everywhere! Only dust, sand and construction sites! The owner of the hotel is greedy!! ! For breakfast, in addition to scrambled eggs and chopped tomatoes with cucumbers, there were apples and tasteless pieces of watermelon! We thought we'd crow when we got home. In general, food was always bought and eaten in a cafe. Prices are not cheap! Someone wrote that large portions and a lot of free vegetables are put, this is not true! It's quite the opposite! A piece of fish and around 3 olives, although the juices were fresh from fruit, delicious for 22 derhams. So, at least it was fun! They didn’t really eat seafood, only their signature yellow soup with seafood, it’s nothing like that! They sold a lot of shrimp and fish, we had to immediately buy and cook it ourselves, we later realized this. After all, they were going to rest, and not to cook in the kitchen, like at home! There were no exotic fruits on the buffet at the hotel, and there was no smell of seafood! Yes, the hotel was cleaned badly, very badly! Nobody speaks Russian at all! For 4 people they put one set of small soap + shampoo. I had to demand almost every day, but they pretended to. that they do not understand! Although we communicated quite well in English. There are no restaurants or cafes in the hotel! Alcohol and beer can not be bought anywhere in the UAE either. There is nowhere to dance and relax within the hotel! There are construction sites around. The hotel does not pull even 3 stars, that's for sure! In general, we do not recommend to anyone! Worse did not rest!! !
