Rested 13-20.01. 2013. We chose this hotel because of the proximity to the metro. It is very bad that there are no Russian speakers at the reception. Meals were chosen only for breakfast, they ate, but they don’t give anything particularly tasty for breakfast. It was the right choice, as they are not attached to the hotel and you can eat cheaper elsewhere. Once we dined at the hotel, we liked the dinner, it costs 65dirhams per person = 18u. e. There was a constant smell of cigarette smoke in the corridors, reminiscent of a nightclub. The rooms are standard, only the storage closet is small. They asked to bring bathrobes, slippers and an adapter. One dressing gown was brought immediately, and the second two days later. The guys from another room said that they had a similar situation. Probably not enough bathrobes for everyone. Whether it is necessary to leave a tip for cleaning remains a mystery to me, it does not affect the quality of cleaning. Cleaning by brigade method, one notes in the journal and gives out soap and so on, the other makes the bed, the third one runs after them with a vacuum cleaner.
They clean the whole room in about 15 minutes. We went down for breakfast once, went up - the room had already been cleaned, the towels had been changed.
There were always empty seats near the pool on the top floor, the water in the jacuzzi was heated. The biggest drawback of this hotel is the entry to the beach, out of seven days we were only able to visit the beach twice. In other hotels there is no such problem, you do not need to sign up for a day at a certain time, everyone who wants to be taken to the beach in the morning. Of the 7 days, three were very cold, strong wind, stormy, overcast. But even on warm sunny days, the water was cold for swimming, just run in and take a dip. Because of this weather, we decided that there was no point in going to the water park, which was originally planned.
Every day they took coupons for free internet for 30 minutes at the reception. per person. Once they came up late, they said there were no coupons, come tomorrow.
On Friday, the girl says there are no free ones, only paid ones for 15 dirhams, they came up later when the girl was gone and the guy gave free ones.
Excursions were taken from Aladdin, by the number (which was indicated on the website) they called for free from the hotel and agreed. All excursions were very good. This company picks up for all excursions from the Banias metro station, from this hotel about an hour by metro. At first it seemed to me that it was more convenient if they were picked up from the hotel, but one vacationer said that the bus for the tour collected people from hotels for 2.5 hours. On the first day, we went on a 6-hour sightseeing tour of Dubai (it costs 25 USD). In Abu Dhabi ($60) I really liked the Sheikh Zayed Mosque, this is a masterpiece for which it is worth going there. We went to the Ferrari amusement park ($110). They take us for 4 hours, during this time we managed to visit only 7 attractions, and there are about 20 of them. The Ferrari park made a splash on us, we have nothing like that.
We watched a fountain show near the Dubai Mall, the first time we were not impressed, there was a strong wind and the composition was not interesting. On another day, under Michael Jackson, the composition was more interesting, on high notes the jets rose to an incredible height. And once again we got to a half-hour show, this was a bomb, fog, light, jets of water, fire.
On Monday, we bought tickets for the Burj Khalifa on our own for Saturday and not at the time we wanted. The elevator rises to the 124th floor in 1.1 minutes! The view of the city at night is simply amazing, we watched the fountain show from above.
For 55 dirhams in Dubai Mall we visited the aquarium (we walked in the tunnel under the aquarium and the zoo)
They traveled around the city only by metro, bought red coupons “all day” for 16dir, the next day these same coupons are replenished already for 14dir.
We visited four malls (Ibn Battuta Mall, Dubai Mall, Mall of The Emirates, Burjuman Mall) all are very beautiful, everywhere has its own zest, but most of all I liked Ibn Battuta Mall—it was incomparably decorated, easy to navigate, it made profitable purchases. We watched electronics, it’s not profitable to buy prices like we have in online stores. We were told that at the Al Karama station, a fake bazaar, they found a Lu-Lu center, just a cheap goods store. There was no enchanting shopping, and I didn’t notice people hung with bags from head to toe either.
I liked the trip, we visited the "future", the atmosphere of the city is very friendly, everything is clean. A week is not enough, you need to go at least ten days.
