So, after reading about the hotel and its beautiful sights, I confidently agreed with my husband that this is how we will have a great romantic trip after the wedding. What I would like to tell lovers of everything new and unusual:
- agreeing to fly to Sharjah and not to Dubai airport, be prepared for the fact that you will have to go to your hotel for at least 3 hours, which after a 5 hour flight and registration is very tiring!
- having chosen Atlantis, we arrived at the hotel last, because it was the farthest.
- Arriving at this pompous hotel at about 11 pm, after standing at the reception and not waiting for a Russian employee, I went to negotiate a room with an English-speaking one. The room they gave us was mediocre: the 3rd floor with an unpleasant smelling sewer.

- my husband arrived untreated, I was already on the spot because of the wonderful difference in temperatures inside and outside. How do you like the temperature in the restaurant or the hall - 18 degrees and on the street 40 or more. ??? ? Most of the hotel went around with snot and cough. During the day, my eyes puffed out from the air conditioners and dried the skin and nasal mucosa. Be prepared for such little things.
- The food is extensive, everything is beautiful and plenty. The specific taste of first courses and meat. Often spicy and lots of spices. Delicious cheeses, yoghurts, sweets, bakery products... there were a lot of fish for dinner, there were shrimps and oysters....on the 4th day my stomach refused to work normally....
- you can swim on the beach but early in the morning. Otherwise it's hot.
- swimming pool and water park - not bad. But there are a lot of people. Often the circles are abandoned after skiing and they clutter up the tunnels for skiing. People, as always, surprise even there with their laziness and unrest. Sunbeds are also worth their weight in gold. Entrance for hotel residents is free, but the safe is chargeable.
- No deposit was given upon check-in. Everything is fine. just asked to close the bar. Do not touch anything in the bar, otherwise you will automatically pay for every bottle you pull out even to look at.
- Internet for free - at the reception you have to come up and ask for the code. High-speed - for a fee.
- taxi - only Dubai taxi is not from the hotel, but nearby you can catch and pay for the mileage counter.
- On weekends, it infuriates the number of tourists in the hotel, I want not to leave the room at all. we didn’t go to lunch, queues and hubbub.
-excursions. We went to the mosque in Abu Dhabi. the heat... beautiful, dress up all the women in a black burqa before entering.
- ferrari park queue. In addition, they bought a VIP ticket, otherwise you will get tired of standing in line. The Indians will trample you, push you. A bunch of women and children. They smell of spices and sweat. Doubtful pleasure.
- shops - Malls-Dubai Mall, etc. I don’t remember right now. Well, either buy expensive things, or China like ours.

- when departing early in the morning for the day, ask not for reception breakfast in the room. it should be included in the tour, or a normal breakfast from 7-8 in the morning. We thought at the agency whether to buy dinner or on the spot - probably to buy, on the spot from $ 100 or more, it can turn out to be 2x. Drinks at lunch and in the evening are paid.
- everything that is brought to the room, fruits and cookies, pay. Everything will be written to the room.
upon arrival at the Kyiv airport, they forgot the bag on the plane. The next day, they rushed, called Air Arabia, which served us. There, Alla Berest (God forbid you get on her) wrote to me that they saw the bag but sent it back to Sharjah. She said that she would send a request, but it is unlikely that she would be found. In fact, the bag was in the office for a week and I was miraculously lucky to find girls working in the office, honest and truthful, who helped me and repaid the loss. You know, Alla should be ashamed, but if by some miracle someone already had such an incident with her, I suggest reporting this to her leadership. Stay away from these employees. Fraudster!
In general, I'm sorry for such a sad review, but that's how it was for me on this vacation. I missed the whole trip at home and reproached myself for the fact that my husband offered Greece with a more benign climate and prices.
All that I remembered described, if you need help or questions, please contact.
