I agree with the previous author - the hotel is 3 stars, not 4, but not bad.
At the airport, in line for scanning, if you are with children, you should not miss the uncles in Arabic robes - they lead passengers with children past the scanner and do not have to stand this terrible queue. Only the queue for passport control. They also don’t lead through the inspection of luggage, if with children they are sent to a special exit.
They settled us quickly upon arrival, we arrived at 12 at night, asked to be fed - they covered a small dinner, for which we thank them. The room was a Presidential suite, his presidency consisted of 2 bedrooms (one with a large bed, the other with 2 single beds), a TV in each room, air conditioning in the bedroom with two beds), in the living room (there is also a TV, sofa, coffee table and a large table with chairs) and there was a small kitchen. There were no dishes there, if the room is designed for 4 people, why 2 cups, 2 saucers, one teaspoon - and that's it?
There was a large refrigerator by the standards of the hotel (1.5-meter), where we stuffed everything bought in Duty : ). They don’t take a deposit, although there were still all sorts of juices and water in the refrigerator that we didn’t touch. There is also an electric stove. A kettle, tea was periodically put on, but not every day, if we didn’t have enough, they took it at breakfast. They took water for tea from the tap - they boiled it, they did not die. The rest was bottled. They do not provide water, they bought it on their own. In the bathroom there is a hair dryer, soap and water accessories, everything was enough, towels were changed as you asked - they had to be put on the floor to change, they have such a password : ). Balcony, nothing special, you can't sit on it - very noisy. There is a safe in the room.
Of the minuses: the room is dirty - from the bath-kitchen to the balcony. Dirty switches, sticky floors in the kitchen, in general, they don’t bother with cleanliness there. But it is quite tolerable for one week.
The second disadvantage, and perhaps the most serious one, is the constant noise. Behind the wall in the bathroom there was one ventilation duct - it seems that the neighbors constantly have water flowing. around the clock. At first you don’t notice it, but at the end of the rest it’s downright annoying. Behind the wall of the bedroom there was a second ventilation duct, this is also a constant hum and noise. I had to sleep in earplugs - so for those who are light sleepers, earplugs in this hotel will not be superfluous at all. You open the window - even worse, there is a highway 7 lanes in one direction, 7 lanes in the other direction (they also wrote about it), plus another road nearby, noisy. Third - Air conditioners do not bring coolness - they carry a terrible cold and from them, well, it blows very strongly. It's good that we could turn it off - people from the standards complained that it was very cold in the rooms and there was no way to fix it.
Food: no complaints, except that the breakfasts were sold out, but they always found a place, and if something ran out of food, the cooks, as a rule, put it all in, except for yogurt. His plate was always empty. Food for everyone - both adults and children will always find something to feed, so you can safely go to this hotel with children in terms of food. Our tour also included dinners - we regretted that we took them. You can dine at the hotel, 55 dirhams - buffet. In terms of money, it turned out to be more expensive than we could buy them on the spot.
Location: 3 minutes to the subway, 10 minutes to the Emirates mall, no other amenities - around the desert and construction. Another plus is the presence of supermarkets nearby where you can buy any edible trifle. ATMs at the metro station, we took money out calmly when we needed cash, but we always paid with a card. But if the purchase is more than 5000 dirhams - they require a copy of the passport.
On excursions: we did not see our guide in the eyes, this is Kira Medvedeva, already mentioned in previous reviews. She made an appointment for us the next day upon arrival at 15.15 - neither this nor that, we couldn’t go anywhere, but we didn’t want to guard her and lose a day of rest. Signed up for this day on the bus to the beach (about it below). We called her and realized that neither we nor she crave mutual communication. The representative of the Oasis Tour, Rafik (emphasis on the last syllable : ) sits in the hotel, offers excursions, speaks Russian, so no guide is needed there if there are no problems.
Where we went: 1. Mussandam - an excursion to the Indian Ocean. In principle, I liked it, but we didn’t swim - the ocean is cold. They brought us to the bay, gave us fins and masks and landed us on the shore. There were a lot of people, nothing special. The bottom cover has a small layer of silt, in some places, it stirs up the water and from this - a feeling of mud. Then on the boat there was a feeding buffet, everyone had enough, everyone ate.
You have to go there in the morning and for the whole day. We were going for 3 hours, and ended up leaving before closing. The water park beach was probably the only quiet place in Dubai we visited in a week. Near Atlantis, however : ). I really liked it there. And as for the beach, which they take from the hotel - to Jumeirah - nothing special, a crowd of people, but a convenient infrastructure (changing rooms, cafes, the sea is pleasant, but cold). As for the slides in the water park - there is no such extreme as in our water parks, not counting the "kamikaze" slides, and the rest of the entertainment is interesting. You can go everywhere with your children, which is very convenient, they greeted us there from the bottom of their hearts. In general, everything is done for people. Food is expensive there, so you can take a snack with you - it was crazy to pay 450 rubles for ice cream.
4. Ferrari World in Abu Dhabi. For some reason, we bought an excursion there, although we had to take a car and drive ourselves, we would save 6-7 thousand on our money.
The biggest slide did not work, we rode on the small ones, visited all sorts of different animations. Children below 130 are not allowed on the slides. The first time they went - the youngest was allowed in, and the second time - the instructors were different and he seemed small to them. They didn't let me. Not far from Ferrari world there is a place where you can drive Formula 1 cars with a driver in a pair, but you need to call in advance and find out if they work. When we arrived, they didn’t work: (. We talked with a Russian woman there, she said that their work schedules are strange - if I want, I work, if I don’t. I need to call in advance and ask.
5. Shopping in Dubai Mall. We accidentally got on the first day of sales - all sizes are available and 50-75% discounts. Bought very good things at ridiculous prices.
6. Rise to the Burj Khalifa. We bought a ticket on January 3 for January 8. Therefore, it is better - cheaper and more convenient - to buy a ticket via the Internet.
In conclusion, I want to say that I liked the trip, but the minus is the constant noise.
