отдых понравился I liked the rest

My husband and I rested at the Residence of the Hilton Hotel from May 8 to May 15.2012. I recommend the hotel to everyone! The hotel is great!! ! I recommend with a clear conscience! The view of the hotel against the backdrop of skyscrapers is amazing! Admires! The territory of the hotel is small, but very green, well-groomed and cozy! There is no effect of an anthill!! ! At first, the temperature was very frightening - about 50 during the day, and then they got used to it, and it became quite good : ) The hotel is located in a good area of ​ ​ Jumeirah. The area is very clean. The hotel consists of two buildings: the old 9-storey building and the new (opened in 2010.43-storey building. They are connected by a bridge and are located across the street at 50 meters from each other. By location, this is the most successful and comfortable hotel on this side of Palma today. To go to the beach from the new building exactly 3 minutes longer, you need to cross a narrow street with one-way slow traffic due to the large number of speed bumps, however, very different from ours. But as soon as you enter the road, all the cars immediately stop and offer you to cross the road. Everyone is very polite! SETTLEMENT AND DEPOSIT. We were seated within 30 minutes. The reception has Russian-speaking staff. Always answer all questions. We took a deposit of $700 upon arrival. You can pay in cash or withdraw from your card. We were taken off the card at the time of arrival. At the reception, the girl kindly explained that the money would be returned to the card within 10 days after leaving the hotel. On the territory of the hotel everything is paid, if you took a tour with food, then in the restaurant all drinks are paid, including water. But no one will take money from you, when calculating, you will name the room number, name and sign the bill. And upon departure, they will print out a general invoice for you and can withdraw this amount from the deposit, or you can pay in cash. If you leave dollars (deposit), then the change, or the entire amount, if you don’t spend anything, will be returned to you in dirhams, spending them on the last day is not a problem, Dubai duty free is very good. Both prices and range. The only problem is the low exchange rate at the hotel. ROOM. The rooms are large and free, bright, very comfortable and large bed, comfortable pillows. Cleaning is always neat, every day. The rooms of the Residence have everything for a comfortable stay - an ironing board with a good iron, a washing machine, a hair dryer, a toaster, an electric stove, a large refrigerator, everything from a frying pan to a kitchen knife and an electric kettle. Daily updated supplies of tea and coffee, cream, etc. Free of charge. Everything that is paid - everything is in the minibar. There is water, two bottles are given every day, this was enough for us for a day. All this (except for a kettle with drinks) is not in the old building. The bathroom has everything from shampoo to toothpicks. Bathrobes, but no slippers (you need to ask and bring). Big TV, DVD, music. Centre. Three Russian channels. The rooms are fresh, the furniture is new, the air conditioning is good. Safe in every room free of charge. One negative - not all rooms have balconies. BEACH. The beach is just fabulous! White sand and azure ocean! Keep in mind that the best beaches in the UAE are on Jumeira! The beach is clean. Lots of sunbeds on the beach and on the lawns under the palm trees. There was always enough space. The beach towels are large, new, the sunbeds are comfortable. Small beach, cozy places, everything is beautiful. You lie on a sun lounger, and the birds chirp around! The beach is sandy, the entry into the water is comfortable, the place for swimming is marked on the water. The territory itself is small, but beautiful, green. The pool is heated, normal size and next to the "splash pool" with awnings for children. There are some great cafes here. Towels are given out, as many as you carry, as well as free life jackets for children. Towels are optional, you can leave them anywhere. There were always enough sunbeds for everyone, outsiders were not allowed into the territory where the sunbeds were not allowed. Locals and guests of neighboring hotels rested on the sidelines on towels. On the beach they offer drinks, ice cream, sandwiches for a fee. The sea is good. Very warm. Only then did I understand the saying “like fresh milk”. But when the air temperature is in the shade (there is a thermometer on the beach) in the morning up to 43, and in the afternoon up to 48-50 degrees, I would like a contrasting water. But such water can be obtained in the pool! For children, the water at the sea is bliss, you certainly can’t drive it out of the water. On Jumeirah, the water is clear, nothing has been built in the sea in front of the hotel, the palm tree is on the right side. The entrance to the sea is ordinary - sandy. The beach, well-maintained with all amenities. NUTRITION. We took half board. One plus of half board is that you can choose either lunch or dinner every day, which is very convenient. Everything is delicious and varied. Meals in the restaurant on the LP floor, they feed and cook well, a separate table with pork (a sign with a painted piggy), a lot of fresh fruit (all sorts of different ones). Drinks (except coffee and tea) for lunch and dinner are paid. It's nice that the children were cheered up in the morning when you go to the restaurant for breakfast in the morning, and the children are handed balloons. A trifle, but nice! Food at breakfast is European, standard. They make excellent coffee, especially cappuccino, there is always freshly squeezed juice and a large assortment of delicious fruits (strawberries, pineapple, watermelon, melon, mango, pitahaya, papaya, kiwi, apples, pears, plums, bananas)!! ! For breakfast there was low-salted salmon, high-quality cheeses - 7 types, real ham, 6 types of sausages, also 4 types of cut meat, sausages, exotic fruits. Well, and the rest of the set, which is usually found in hotels for breakfast: muesli, several types of home-made and packaged yogurts, scrambled eggs, scrambled eggs, pancakes, tomatoes, cucumbers, greens and fresh pastries, decent juices, etc. , etc. Dinners And the dinners are just amazing! The choice is small, but like in a restaurant, everything is of high quality and expensive! They serve several types of meat, chicken, fish, soup, pizza and a hot appetizer - either shrimp in batter, then a male, then something else in batter, vegetables, herbs, salads, desserts and fruits. Every evening, the restaurants host themed dinners - for example, Mexican cuisine evening, Oriental cuisine evening. In the courtyard on the side of the canal, 100 meters from the hotel, there is a wonderful supermarket "almaya" - the prices are the same as in our Auchan, you can buy and cook yourself, but. . . After all, we came to Dubai to relax!! ! STAFF. The hotel staff is polite and friendly. All requests for reception were fulfilled instantly. Everyone smiles and greets, they hold the elevator so that you have time to enter, the tables in the restaurant are served where you indicate, the dishes are removed instantly. SPORT. Everything is good with sports at the Hilton, a modern gym with cardio and weight machines. Works around the clock. In the morning, while it is not hot, you can go for a run along the shore, this is popular in the UAE. ENTERTAINMENT. About entertainment. Emirates is not Turkey or Egypt. There are no loudly screaming animators here! Emirates is a calm, respectable holiday. Near the hotel there is a coastal boulevard "The Walk" with a length of about two kilometers. It has a variety of cafes, shops, restaurants and boutiques. Have fun in big malls, as hypermarkets are called in the UAE. There are entire floors dedicated to entertainment, there is everything you want! Every day, almost every hour, a free bus runs from the hotel, which delivers and picks up tourists from shopping centers. The schedule of these buses will be given at the reception. But they are not recorded, and you may not get on this bus, because you do not have enough space on it! But don't worry, there are always taxis there. All Toyota cars and counters are installed in them. I can recommend The Mall of Emirates. In the mall you can go shopping and eat (take warm clothes in the mall (this is for those who are always cold), it's cold from air conditioners). There is a good restaurant with European cuisine Havanna (so it seems) and there are many fast foods, ranging from American cuisine to Thai. There is a large store, like our Auchan - you can buy absolutely everything there. A very large selection of fruits, fish and seafood. Prices are much lower than ours! Everything is fresh! This mall has the world's largest indoor ski slope. I highly recommend. Especially for those who go to rest there in the hot summer. It's about 50 outside and -2 inside. This pleasure costs about $150 (for the whole day). This includes inventory (boards or skis, boots, etc. ), and clothing - a jacket, pants, socks. It is worth taking your hat, gloves, sweater. Although you can buy everything there. The slope is small, about 400 meters, there are chair lifts, there is a "mop". At certain times, the penguins perform - there is a whole family of them - from small to large! A sea of ​ ​ impressions! You can look at all this spectacle from the side of the trading floor, or you can sit in restaurants! CONCLUSION. We were satisfied with the rest! Of course, there are more abruptly hotels.... But this is perhaps the perfect hotel in every respect. Rest mainly ours, Germans, Italians and Arabs. I recommend Dubai Hilton Residence to everyone. In general, the rest is very measured and calm! Have a nice rest and unforgettable impressions.
