For the first time in the UAE, so I will divide the review into 2 parts - about the hotel and the actual impressions of the country. Came back today and it was a pity to leave! Now more. We chose a hotel according to the principle - new, five, with its own beach and "TURKISH". People who know what a strong Turkish five is will be able to imagine what we are talking about. First of all, everything that is stated on the official website of the hotel is true. We picked it up from the airport with our own transport, quickly, accommodation was a choice of 2 rooms, we took it with a view of the hotel "PARUS", in my opinion it's better than with a view of the pool .
The question of the deposit, we will pay everything in cash, the question has been settled, only we asked to clear the mini and maxi bars. The reception is always Russian-speaking staff, the same thing in the restaurant. Now the food, the hotel does not work on the All Inclusive system, but only HB, but believe me, this is quite enough. The chef of the restaurant is a real magician, I speak about this as a catering worker with extensive experience. To list everything is not enough for a few pages, I can separately single out only fish dishes and seafood - beyond praise! Alcohol, of course, is unimaginably expensive, but it does not bother you if you stock up in our and ONLY OUR duty free.
At Dubai Airport, the range is worse and prices are higher.

The beach is huge, 2 pools, there was enough space for everyone in abundance. The main contingent of the hotel is local and nearby countries and emirates. This brings peace and quiet to the atmosphere.
Now a little about the country. I liked a lot. And the roads and scope, and especially the mood and aspiration of the country to achieve the highest goals. In terms of excursions, I think, apart from the water park at the ATLANTIS hotel, the aquarium at the DUBAI MOL, the local metro, the ski slopes at the KEMPINSKI hotel, and the skyscrapers with singing fountains, there is nothing special to see, but this is our personal opinion.
Now about what I didn’t like. The country is quite young, in which the third generation of people living in the era of "OIL" now lives. And if the first generation was smart enough not to squander this golden rain, and the second generation began to massively acquire education, teach languages, law, economics, etc. then the third generation, especially at the age of 12-18, is the dead end of this country. they will spoil, or get into the frame, or as a result of their debility games they will push you or your companions. It seems that they are allowed to do everything - mocking tourists, they will never give way to you, they just go stupidly at you, like a tank, they can specially orient you incorrectly on the ground, I recommend taking guidebooks in the malls.
Probably a little chaotic report turned out, if you have any questions, write, I will answer. I wish you all a pleasant stay!
