Эмираты просто сказка. Emirates is just a fairy tale.

We were in December 2005, the climate is super +35 (air), the water is salty over +25 (Persian Gulf), the Hotel is optimal in terms of price-quality ratio. The location of the hotel is ideal for outdoor activities, in general it is not long and not expensive to take a taxi to any place in Dubai, the taxi starts from 3 dirhams (1 dirham = about 8 rubles) in the afternoon and 3.5 in the evening. If you choose three rubles, then this one is better, it is the only one on the coast, others are only in the city, where there is vanity and trade, cars, exhaust gases, by the way, you don’t notice, the fuel is super, even when you are standing in traffic jams; you can get to the beach for a long time, and this hotel is across a small road from the beach, from which you can walk into the room barefoot and in shorts. You can take only breakfast, do not bother with lunch, the food is monotonous with subtle alternation. If you missed lunch, then you can change coupons for dinner and choose from the menu (the quality is better than the standard), but within the amount laid down for lunch or pay extra for what you want. The territory of the hotel is not large, but there is where to turn around the company, a pleasant pool with a depth of 0.5 to 2 meters, you can dive, there is a Finnish and Turkish sauna. The rooms are clean, comfortable beds, bathroom and toilet are combined. (The hose near the toilet is like our brush, do not confuse it with a mini-shower for intimate places). The shampoo was brought with a delay, it is in a small bottle, which ended very quickly. He himself went to the porter's room, where this stuff was in boxes. The windows in the room are tinted with blackout curtains, plus air conditioning, controlled only from the reception. Only they turn on the air conditioners so that it becomes cold, even in a taxi, I myself am from Irkutsk and sometimes I felt like in my homeland on New Year's Eve. You can get sick. TV by satellite, of our channels only ORT with advertising in Ukrainian language. The staff is friendly, mostly Indians, in principle, as in other places. Mostly men, women in the UAE are 30%, which is probably why the men there are somewhat prAtive. Although they are fighting prostitution and homo manifestations. Men without women are not allowed to discos and, accordingly, vice versa, and there should be a boy-girl pair. Sex tourism is dead here, it's better to take a girlfriend or wife. But there is an exception to every rule, there is a place in Dubai called "Cyclone", where you can do everything from alcohol to picking up a girl for every taste (approximately from 300 to 500 heteras), entrance is about 700-800 rubles. and $300 for "love". Well, about the Regent Beach Resort hotel: although it’s Dubai, it’s hard to drink alcohol there (like in Sharjah), you feel the sidelong glances of the locals, you had to pour Whiskey into a Coca-Cola bottle and drink the brown “liquid” so covertly, the same thing in orange juice Campari or Bacardi. They prepared a Tequila-boom cocktail in the room, from which they damaged the glass on the bedside table (400 rubles). It is better to take alcohol upon arrival in Dubai, in Domodedovo it is more expensive and the assortment is worse.
The hotel staff in Russian is not boom-boom, only outside some dark-skinned comrade surprises in pure Russian.
So be careful with your speech.

Tipping is not asked, but hinted, taken as a bribe, looking around. We didn’t indulge them, which apparently paid the price, on the day of departure we didn’t have enough towels in the room, they debited the amount (500 rubles) from my card and gave my passport, the porter closed the door behind us, slyly smiling, screwing up his left eye said: “Good bye. . . "
I advise you to keep your passports and tickets in a safe in the closet, our friend was almost left there, whoever cleans the room does not look at the papers, everything is in a bag, only a raspberry-colored visa gave us a passport, a ticket and itself among the garbage.
Summary: I advise this hotel you will not regret if you are not sophisticated or if you regret a large amount for accommodation.
