The hotel is excellent, albeit 3 ​ ​ stars! Clean, licked. This is not a three-ruble note in Egypt or Turkey. Service at altitude, food is not bad: breakfasts are standard, monotonous - eggs, sausages, scrambled eggs, side dishes; dinners are very tasty - a lot of fish, meat, greens. Those who ordered only BB lost a lot. In the room tea, coffee, sugar, milk - free of charge. Two meals a day is enough, and you do not need to spend money and time on a cafe. Cleaning on demand or every day unless a "do not disturb" sign is posted. Forcing the staff to clean the room every day is superfluous. In Russian, the staff does not speak and does not understand at all, learn English. There is a Russian-language channel (the first Russia). There are buses from the hotel to Jumeirah Beach in the morning. If you take a taxi to the beach - 11 dirhams (3 dollars). Entrance to the beach is free. Umbrellas, trestle beds - paid. To Burj Khalifa (Dubai Mall) - 25 dirhams. To Dubai Marina - 55 dirhams (15 ye). Rooftop swimming pool. Cardio machine with free weights.
It is very hot outside + 40-50 (in the sun, end of October), oddly enough - very humid, I thought it would be drier, it is difficult to breathe and move around the city for a long time, 7 sweats come off, things do not dry. This vacation is not for everyone. Or sit in a hotel near the pool, or near the sea. If you don’t know how to ride the metro in Dubai, it’s better not to ride, you can be fined 2000 dirhams. Taxi (Toyota Camry) affordable and convenient. Tariffing is clear on the counter. At traffic lights - stop timer.
Products in supermarkets are slightly more expensive than Kiev ones (by 10-15%). Tours are expensive.

The only unpleasant minus was that upon arrival at 5 am, we were settled in the rooms only at 10:30 am and then "lucky" after lengthy negotiations and threats, because. check-in (check-in) at them at 2 pm (check-out at 12). So check your arrival time with your tour operator so as not to pay 45 bucks for early settlement.
