My impressions:
I agree that the hotel is for families with children. We went with our 8 year old son. He is delighted. If you want more silence - you have to go to another hotel. The rooms are comfortable and well cleaned. I didn't press the "make-up room" button once and they didn't clean my room in the morning. But it didn't happen again. Towels are changed 2 times a day. Shampoo, gel... you can not drag with you. Everything there is of excellent quality. The mini-bar is touch-sensitive, I just took it to look, but the bill has already been struck. So do not take it unnecessarily. There is a postcard in the papers with a view of the hotel, in order to send it you need to buy a stamp for 5 dirhams in the souvenir shop in the west tower, to the left of the main entrance there is a concierge from him and send it.
Towels on the beach and water park for free. It is necessary to say the room number and last name. To get to the water park, catch cars passing along the road from the hotel to the water park and the dolphinarium. Just say "stop" and she will stop. Walking in the direction of the water park after 6 pm is not allowed. The dolphinarium did not impress, but we are Crimeans and our dolphins are there.

Restaurants. We ate at buffet restaurants. So my son liked it much more. Definitely better than Saffron. More choice. There has never been a scam. We were cheated at the Kaleidoscope at dinner. Recorded more water and more expensive whiskey. We asked a Russian speaker and asked to count. Doooodgo counted (40 minutes), the children were tired of waiting, they brought the correct bill. BUT on TV, checking the bill in the evening, we found that they had deducted money from us for dinner. We have always paid in cash only. Called and asked to be removed. They cleaned it up - in the morning there was nothing. Check the score on your TV. Breakfast - all drinks are free. Dinner is all free. Enter the restaurant, write the room number, surname and painting on the receipt. This is for what has already been paid. So they're just in control. Don't worry, you don't have to pay again. We just didn’t understand the first time and thought that they would make us pay again. There is so much food that you don't want to eat before dinner. The water park sells delicious corn, ice cream and pineapple cut into pieces. And the coconut is not tasty and the watermelon has never been tasty, although it looked very beautiful. I do not advise (coconut, watermelon).
Be sure to visit The Lost Chambers at the hotel.
I liked the aquarium in the hotel more than in the Dubai Mall. But even so, it's worth going there to see the fountains on the street near the Dubai Mall. They operate from 18.00 to 21.30 every 20 minutes.
The snow complex in the Mall of the Emirates is interesting, but not enough to go there for it. It's cold -4. We have enough of such goodness in the winter. Although I live in the Crimea, I’m not interested in freezing even in clothes for rent.
Excursions ask the Russian speakers at the reception. Take individual, and it's more interesting and cheaper than with a firm (individually) $ 150.
This is the main thing I wanted to share.
Bring your kids - you won't regret it!
