Let's start with the host. We were met at the airport as soon as we got off the plane, handed us a map of the airport so that we would not accidentally get lost) We had an individual transfer, upon arrival at the hotel we were immediately settled (we arrived at 5 in the morning, but the room had been paid for since yesterday, not to tempt fate). At the reception, they immediately ask for a deposit in the amount of 2 thousand dollars. from two people, I advise everyone to change money before arriving at the hotel, since the exchange rate is much lower there, although in dollars. they also accept, but you will decently lose on the difference in the exchange rate (the exchange rate of the dirham to the dollar is stable at 3.65), and if something remains, then they return it only in their currency. At the hotel we bargained for $750. Immediately you will be offered to sign up for "Komsomolskaya Pravda" for money, newspapers are in English. language bring free every day. In the lobby, you may not find a Komsomolskaya Pravda in Russian for free at the booth. Let's move on to the number. We had it with a view of the city, but when we went out onto the balcony, we realized that there was no difference, all the hotel rooms overlooked the Persian Gulf. The room has a separate bathroom and shower + toilet. Liked the iron and ironing board. Change of linen every day, towels -2 times a day. Drinks ranging from water to alcohol in the hotel are of course expensive. Therefore, I advise you to immediately go to some kind of shopping center and buy water and juice there. Alcohol either from home or duty free. For comparison, a bottle of water in a hotel costs about 9 dollars, while in a shopping center you can buy 6-7 dollars with this money. You can take a taxi to the shopping center or there are free buses from the hotel, the departure time will be prompted at the reception. There are two types of taxis - simple and limousine according to your desire. Taxi is inexpensive. The room has shampoo, hair balm, shower gel, body lotion, cotton swabs, nail files (there is even sea salt in the bathroom), etc. in sufficient quantity. All can be safely used, excellent quality. Bathrobes and slippers. There are chairs and a table on the balcony. Now let's move on to the Jumeirah hotel chain itself. Throughout the territory, you can move either on boats along the canals or on electric cars, just say where you need to and you will be taken with a breeze. All residents of the hotel include free access to the water park. I advise you not to go there on Friday (day off) for the local population) or there are too many people on their holidays, better go there by 10 am and get a lot of fun. Beach. Paradise. White-white sand (sifted every day) and azure water. Just go to the beach behind you, they immediately carry two towels, one for a sun lounger, the other for a pillow, they all cover themselves and wish you a pleasant stay. During the day they wear cold wet towels, watermelons in ice and ice cream, about every hour. Everything is free. We got to the UAE just when it is very hot (up to 40) so the water was like in a jacuzzi, some days. There were also low tides, when the water was knee-deep and high tides. You can swim on the beach until 8, in the pool until 9. Everywhere there are lifeguards. In our hotel, the pool is very tiny for children, so everyone went to Alkasr, where it is much larger. The water in the pool is maintained at a certain temperature at any time of the day. Nutrition. We had breakfast and lunch or dinner included. I advise everyone to visit the al Hambra restaurant for dinner, Spanish cuisine. Unfortunately, we were not told in detail the power system, which we are very sorry about. . For those who have included dinners or lunches, I tell. You go to eat on coupons, no drinks are included for lunch or dinner. In each a la carte restaurant, you can order whatever you want from the menu, but before that, check with the waiter what exactly is paid for with your voucher. For example, in the restaurant mentioned above, you can order 4 appetizers for each voucher, a side dish with meat or fish, plus dessert. Arriving immediately ask for information about all the restaurants, there are restaurants where you need to pay extra even with a coupon, and there are which are not included at all. Before you go to the a la carte restaurant, book a table by phone, they will immediately tell you what dress code. In the bazaar there is a sports bar Bar zar, we went there to watch the Klitschko fight. They didn’t let me in without documents proving my age (they have it strictly with this, only over 21 years old) I had to wait until they call back from the reception and clarify my age. The service is just great. The staff is polite and unobtrusive. And I almost forgot, they still have these on the days in which there is a false evacuation from the hotel. We were not warned about this, we were slightly shocked when for 15 minutes a siren was screaming terribly in the room, and we did not know why. Have a nice holiday everyone. I have only excellent impressions.
