[b]4. Hotel Regent Beach Resort 3*[/b]
Hotel Regent Beach Resort (Regent Beach Resort) is a small three-star. As far as I know, this is the only treshka in Dubai on the 1st coastline. The location of the hotel is very good - close to the beach and shops. In fact, the hotel consists of two buildings. Although it is believed that there are three buildings. The reception is located in the main building. Exit from the building directly to the street. The building has 2 floors. 4 rooms per floor. Entry to rooms with a programmable electronic key (which is often ). We were given one key, I immediately asked for a second one. All this is free. When choosing a room, I requested separate beds. The room was tidy. We arrived at the hotel at 12 midnight local time. We were asked to see the room. It was dark outside the window, they could not see anything and agreed. The room has a safe, wardrobe, table, TV, mini bar. The safe was opened with a mechanical key. The man at the reception did not understand Russian.
But, I explained to him somehow in English. The first thing any tourist will face is the problem of recharging their gadgets. Outlets in the UAE are different than in Europe and the Russian Federation. For some time I tried to explain to the staff what I needed. As a result, they perfectly understood the word adapter. And they brought it. Among other things, it had a USB port. Already in the morning I found in the room a simple adapter for European plugs 220 V. We were given a coupon for food. The restaurant is open from 7:00 am to 10:00 am. The restaurant is called AliBaba. The diet did not change much, but it was enough for us (how can we not remember the Turkish all inclusive). From meat dishes sausages were constantly. A couple of times they fell on beans with finely chopped meat. There were fried thin steaks of meat. There were always sliced ​ ​ fruits in the form of watermelon, papaya, mango, kiwi and apples. The wait staff kept an eye on the tables. In the event that unnecessary used dishes appeared, they were taken away.

Directly from Alibaba, you could go to the beach by crossing a one-way street. The hotel has a swimming pool. It is small - the depth is 1.15 meters. There is rarely anyone there. There is a gym near the pool. Beach towels are constantly laid out in this room. The used ones are put in the box here. No one controls the movement of towels. Came, took as much as needed.
As mentioned in other reviews, you should not take rooms on the first floor. People will constantly walk past you to the restaurant and to the beach. Plus, on the first floor stuffy, no air movement, poorly ventilated. When you go for a towel, be sure to pass by these rooms. I'm talking about numbers 307.308, 407.408. A window can be opened on the 2nd floor. We left the window open all day. At first, we used the advice of experienced tourists. Money and documents were kept not in a safe, but in a suitcase. Then they began to slowly shift everything into the safe. Nothing is missing.
Our room was constantly cleaned by the same person. He was a middle-aged Indian of about forty-three. Very meticulous and conscientious. Did quality work. Every day we changed towels and bed linen. We left every other day for 5 dirhams. The quality of cleaning this hotel pulls five stars. Mini bar was not used. Therefore, when leaving, nothing was withheld from us. The check-out procedure is simple - 15 minutes before the transfer arrives, we go down to the reception and hand over the electronic keys. The number is checked. If they didn’t use anything for a fee and nothing is broken, then they wave the pen.
I read many times about the smiling girl Taya, who speaks Russian and helps to remove various problems. I didn't get to talk to her. Always had to speak English. language with a peasant at the reception (topics: failure of the electric key, calling a taxi, appending towels, etc. ). I don't know his name.
In the evenings, the voice of a local singer sometimes broke through from the Ali Baba restaurant, then from the Indian restaurant. We have visited both once. They feed well. It was interesting to taste the national cuisine. In the application, I posted a scan of the menu of an Indian restaurant. In fact, the prices were slightly higher than stated.
The area in which the hotel is located has a medical focus. There are a lot of eye and dental clinics.

[b]5. Beach and sea. [/b]

The beaches in Dubai are urban, so they are free. There is no fence. Take any place. The beach is served by the SanTurs company. A poster on the beach says that the operating hours of the attendants are from eight in the morning until sunset. Sun loungers and umbrellas - paid. A sunbed costs 15 dirhams, a small umbrella 5 dirhams, a large umbrella 10 dirhams, a towel 5. At first we swam in the middle of the lagoon and only then realized that closer to the breakwater there were fewer waves and wind. Yes, the water is warmer. Less people.
Such mechanized cleaning of large areas of the beach is very well thought out.
On April 1, the sea was a little stormy. We were rolled / thrown / tumbled on the waves. There are 2 paths along the beach - a jogging path and a bike path. Red running has a soft shock-absorbing covering. Runners and walkers cut through it at any daylight hours. On weekends (Thursday and Friday), 2A Street, which runs along the beach, turns into a continuous traffic jam. On weekdays it is deserted. There are several lifeguard towers on the beaches. Flags are hung on the towers. If it's red, you can't swim. Green police jeeps often patrol the sand along the beach. Part of the sea is fenced with buoys, sometimes a rescue boat floats along them. From the beach you can see a huge flag fluttering at a high altitude in the wind. It is located on a powerful stele in the Jumeira Road - 5A Street area. There is always wind on the beach - from the sea or from the desert.
In the second case, all skyscrapers are in a fog - a sandstorm.
Many choose the following daily routine. Breakfast at about 9 o'clock, then they swim, then they go to various malls for shopping. Thursday and/or Friday are public holidays in the United Arab Emirates. The day off depends on the structure in which you work: public or private. On Thursday, a bunch of Indians and Pakistanis show up on the beach. It happens around noon. If in the morning young girls in revealing swimsuits cut through the beach, then closer to dinner there is no trace of them on the beach. Instead, dark-skinned young guys and peasants appear. These are guest workers who come to take a sea bath. As a rule, they all walk in groups, there are a lot of them. Someone immediately goes to the sea to swim, someone sits on the shore - contemplates around. At first you feel a little uncomfortable, then you get used to it.

A distinctive feature of the United Arab Emirates is that the strip of water on the beach in the evening drops by 15-20 meters (daily low tide). The wind always blows on the beach. It has two directions: either by sea or from the sea. In the first case, it is the wind from the desert. We have a guaranteed light sand fog. Periodically, along the beach, policemen drive in jeeps along the sand. On 2A Street, which runs along the beach and the Regent Beach Resort, a global traffic jam forms on Friday. Both Arabs with their families and guest workers in the form of Indians and Pakistanis come here for the weekend. The beach is filling up. All the mushrooms located along the road are also busy. The main age of Pakistani Hindus is 25-30 years old. On weekdays, 2A Street is almost empty.
Everyone was burned once by a jellyfish. It is almost invisible in the water. It is light green in color (not to be confused with blue). She has a tail in the form of a train. He is the one who regrets. Usually covers both legs. In this case, you do not need to get out of the water.
Rub the redness with sand to wash off the irritating mucus. This is what causes the allergic reaction. it is impossible to wash off the mucus with running water - the reaction is even stronger.
