The hotel is located on the shore of the bay and represents a single complex with the hotel "Parus", "Wave" (Jumeirah Beach) and hotels and villas of the Medinat Djumeira complex. The vast territory is dotted with canals, the length of which is 4 km. Along the canals are villas, numerous restaurants and bars, and a market. Movement around the territory is carried out on free boats and shuttles. There are magnificent views from various points of the complex. Very nice. On tours of modern Dubai, tourists are brought here, but they are not allowed further than the market. For outsiders, spending a day at the hotel costs $170, and taking a boat ride is $70. The beach is huge, there are a lot of sunbeds. On each sunbed there is a roller under the head or under the back. When the sea is calm, the water is clear and you can see where the fish are swimming. The buoys are located far away, there are many places for swimming, but there are almost no swimmers (although the water is 22 degrees). In my swim to the buoys, I was accompanied by a lifeguard on a kayak. The rooms are large and beautifully decorated. There is the first channel of Russia. The room also has a coffee machine with instructions in Russian, where you can make free coffee. You should take a higher floor, from where a beautiful view of the bay, the Parus Hotel and Palma hotels opens up. You can take a shuttle to the unattractive territory of the Volna Hotel, but there is nothing to do there. Yes, there is a water park. For outsiders, the entrance is $60. For residents - free of charge.
The deposit at the hotel is $120 per night, returned in dirhams at a low rate. But this place is not for those who want to save money. A glass of juice throughout is $9, as is a cup of coffee, a 30 minute massage is $70. But you can still save money. Every two hours there is a free bus to Emirates Mola, where you can have fun and eat inexpensively. There is also a metro station here. From here you can get to the new Dubai Marina area, which is worth exploring. There are no palm trees on the beach here. There is nowhere to hide from the scorching sun. Vacationers are located right on the sand under umbrellas, which they buy in nearby shops or rent at hotels. But the area is interesting and unique . .
The cheapest purchases are made in Deira (Dubai region), located between the gold bazaar and Nasser Square. Here the prices are lower, you can bargain. But cheap in Dubai, as it was before, there is nothing left. Everything is very expensive. I only heard women say that in the market of our hotel (souk) the prices for diamonds are low.

There is a lot to write about Dubai. It surprises with architecture, order and cleanliness, as well as the hotel.
