I will write a few words about this hotel. To begin with, I want to say that I have been on holidays in different countries and have something to compare with.
The hotel is located in a very good and attractive place, it is easy to get to any point: the metro line is a three-minute walk from the hotel, buses and taxis will take you to the right place. If you are more than two people, it is most profitable to travel by taxi - just a few dirhams and you are there.
As for the hotel, the English-speaking staff is not a small factor. Who knows English poorly or does not know at all - it will be difficult.
The Chinese at the reception smile, but do not understand anything. The rooms are clean and spacious. There is a kettle in every room: tea and coffee are always with you, which is beneficial when traveling with children. A minibar is also present. Mineral water is delivered every day by 0.5 liters. Sometimes there are problems with the water in the tap, the shower turns out to be contrasting.

Rooms are cleaned every day, towels are also changed, despite the tip. The big disadvantage is the lack of personal transport of the hotel, you will be taken to the beach almost on time, and they can pick you up an hour later than promised, or even completely forget about you.
Personally, we have often traveled from the beach to the hotel by taxi (13 - 15 dirhams). For lovers of alcohol, I will inform you that beer is poured in the bar in the evenings. In general, they were satisfied with the hotel, compared to European 4 * hotels, this hotel is an order of magnitude higher. At the expense of food, I will tell you that in this hotel the food is better than the rest (friends were resting at that time in two hotels). The choice of food is not large, but we were not hungry. I will say one thing - this is not Turkey and Egypt for you! ! ! Although the country is much more beautiful and better, but this is everyone's personal opinion. Who does not want to eat at the hotel on the same street is full of cafes with different cuisines, good cafes are located on the way to the Abrash Center. For 20-25 dirhams you can have a pretty tasty dinner.
About freshly squeezed juices, in general, a separate conversation, such a choice for such a price can only be there!! ! !

If I had a choice of where to fly soon, I would undoubtedly choose Dubai, but at the expense of this hotel, I would not refuse it either !! ! !

What anyone is interested in, write, if possible, I will answer, although I hardly remember everything at a time.
