понравилось-хочется вернуться liked it - would like to come back

We rested at the City Max Bur Dubai 3 * hotel at the end of March 2012. The hotel was chosen on the advice of a travel agent and reviews. I want to thank everyone who wrote reviews about this hotel and Dubai. Due to the fact that this was the first trip to the UAE, without your advice would be difficult
I do not want to repeat what was written before me. I join all the positive reviews about the City Max Bur Dubai 3 hotel. I liked the hotel - it corresponds to the price. I just want to add something.
We flew from Donetsk with a delay of 2 hours. We were at the hotel only at 23-00. We asked for a quiet non-smoking room. They said it would be very quiet. We received the key cards for room 117. Upon entering the room, we immediately heard a rumble (the windows were closed. ) - it was the sound of a working hood from the restaurant, there was still an unpleasant smell . . We asked to change it, but they changed it only with the help of the manager, We got the room 3rd floor, windows to the courtyard. There were no shortcomings in this room. Everything was very clean, everything worked. The air conditioner worked quietly. with a large number of tourists there are not enough glasses and cups. You have to wait until they bring it. Lunch and dinner are interchangeable - there were no problems.

Trips to the beach - there were problems only on the first day (one bus worked) - we went by taxi. On other days, the bus waited no more than 15 minutes.
The beach is wide. There is enough space for everyone. If you arrive late, you may not have enough umbrellas. The beach is cleaned all the time, but the number of cigarette butts is impressive. As there will be none if not a single smoker steps aside, and cigarette butts are buried in the sand, there are enough garbage cans.
Regarding visiting the fountains. I advise you not to push around in the crowd standing near the bridge, but to go around the pond on the right side (if you stand with your back to the Dubai Mall). There are much fewer people in this place. There is a place to sit down and a better view of this impressive sight.
When inspecting the aquarium, you can take very good photos if you go up the escalator to the floor above and approach from the opposite side. There are large windows that you can come close to and take pictures
The fur coat was bought in the Dubai Tower on the 1st floor of the store SARIGIANNIS # 101 The owner is Greek, whose family has a chain of stores in the UAE and Greece. I want to note that after buying the fur coat, we found a minor defect already in the hotel, We were worried, We were told that it makes no sense re-apply, but we decided, the owner immediately offered us a replacement - but there was no replacement, other options did not fit. We were given an additional discount. I can recommend this store.

We took a tour (overview of Dubai) from Arabin Nice, from Veronica, who works on the beach. We chose this company due to numerous good reviews about excursions and an affordable price. Perhaps many will not agree with my description of the tour, but I only express my opinion, as I have experience of visiting many countries: Egypt, Turkey, Tunisia, Israel, Jordan, Hungary, Czech Republic, Poland, Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Russia. Where if I weren’t, I always buy excursions, but I saw this for the first time. When boarding the bus for 20-30 minutes, there was a search for places for those who didn’t have enough of them, because they recorded more people than the bus can accommodate, Guide Lada, as it turned out in one person and the operator of the video filming of the excursion and the seller and advertising agent of the excursions to be held in the coming days. . Half the time of the tour, instead of a detailed story about the city and the beautiful country, we were advertised with other excursion tours, the tour turned out to be crumpled. Questions that I personally asked the guide - there were no answers. I understand that at the end of any excursion other tours are offered and advertised, but so that, in a rather limited time of the excursion, instead of a story, tours were sold, receipts were issued, money was received and counted. I saw it for the first time, Draw your own conclusions, Maybe someone likes such excursions. I want to note that those tourists who traveled with the Arabin Nice tour company to Abu Dhabi and the Indian Ocean were satisfied. The excursions were interesting . . I don’t know about others.
In general, we are satisfied with our stay at the City Max Bur Dubai 3 hotel. Perhaps, on subsequent visits to the UAE, we will choose this hotel. Have a nice stay everyone.
