Good time of the day. Actually, it’s in my rules to write only bad reviews in order to warn those who wish. But... , there is nothing true about this hotel on TOUR, so I decided to write.
So, transfer from the airport - no conflicts, only we were waiting for our names on the signs, and the tour operator was indicated, so we were a little nervous. There are a lot of Russian speakers at the airport, who are positive, they came to the rescue; )
Reception - friendly staff, many speak a little Russian. They didn’t give money - they gave a wonderful room with a view of the canal (creek view) (it’s better to take it, because souk view is a view of some trading and working quarter and parking. Problems with accommodation, etc. at the reception are solved with lightning speed. The door always opens a well-trained janitor in uniform

The room is obscenely clean, 3 telephones, good furniture, carpet, everything works properly. Bathroom - perfectly clean, plumbing rubbed to a shine, hair dryer, telephone, soap, shower gel, shampoo. As soon as something is over - they replace it with a new one.
Cleaning quality every day with a change of towels and every other day - bedding. Tipping - at the discretion. I didn’t leave the first two days, but the room was so licked even without them that it was a shame not to thank with 2-3 dirhams. Mini-bar and Internet - for a fee.
Food - for 7 days, repeat on the 5th or 6th day. Varied, tasty, satisfying. A lot of jokes from Chinese cuisine for breakfast, and indeed a lot of everything. The waiters rustle like bees - did not have time to finish eating - everything is removed, and with a smile, unobtrusively.
Beach - daily transfer to the beach (2 times a week - Jumeirah, the rest - Al Mamzar). Everything is on schedule, no delays. By the way, those who are more than 5 minutes late. they don’t wait, we barely had time on the first day, but a taxi is also relatively inexpensive - 23-30 dirhams on any of the beaches. By the way, before going to the beach they give out beach towels (which not even every 5-star hotel does), which are rented upon arrival, you just need to ask the doorman.
Location - autumn successfully on the shore of the bay in 5-10 minutes. walk to the spice market and the gold market one way, and the same the other way to the metro station, restaurants, lots of shops
The hotel is really 5 stars, but there is no beach. The guide from the tour operator, to my delight about the hotel, said that for the last 15 years the hotel has occupied high positions in the rating, and its owner is rooting for the hotel with all his heart, so everything is so good in it
Excursions were taken on Al Mamzar beach at the entrance - cheaper by $ 15 per person - the quality of the excursion is also nothing. Be sure to take a survey of Dubai - $ 25, but you will learn about all the sights, where you can then go separately on your own.
We ate, of course, not in a very fashionable Filipino restaurant Golden Fork. Dinner with lobsters, trout, fresh juices and soup - 170 dirhams. All seafood is fresh and the dishes are SOOO delicious.
