Чудесная страна,добрый и милый отель,невежество некоторых туристов. Wonderful country, kind and nice hotel, ignorance of some tourists.

This year I visited this hotel for the fourth time. I'll start with it. What has changed in recent years? Yes, in general, almost nothing. The food is still delicious, especially soups are good as always ; -) and desserts. and you can’t get by with cosmetic ones, plaster is sprinkled in some places, sinks are leaking, air conditioners are breaking, etc. , but in general the condition is good, it can be seen that the condition is monitored and the shortcomings are eliminated immediately after contacting the reception. There are 2 Russian channels on TV: rtr planet and tv3 , at the reception you can connect the Internet - 10 dirhams per day. The pool works, although in October you can’t swim in it much, the water is hot))), there is a sauna, a gym, billiards, a cafe, a restaurant downstairs. 4-5 buses are taken to the beach ( depending on the occupancy of the hotel): at 8.00-11.30 the first two and at 8.30-12.00 the rest. They take you to 2 beaches: Al Mamzar (5 dirhams entrance) and Jumeirah (free) - schedule at the reception. Trips are carried out on coupons that you can take after 12 noon at the administrator's office pshn. At 16.00 on the hotel bus (free of charge) you can make a trip to one of the supermarkets-schedule at the reception. The staff is the same as last year, friendly and grateful.
A little about the changes in the country. Like the whole world, the UAE has undergone an economic (damn the fucking "economists") crisis, many grandiose construction projects have stopped and it is not clear when they will be thawed. However, this did not affect the construction of the metro, the main stations have already been completed !! ! Built the new Ice Land water park, there was an excursion in Abu Dhabi to the legendary Formula 1 track Yas Marina, where you can visit the Ferrari Museum and ride a virtual simulator, feeling like a pilot of the best auto racing. There are also other attractions (one of them is like a roller coaster -speed 220 km / h). For women: coats have risen in price)), equipment, knitwear, electronics seem to have remained at the same level as a year ago.
Now on to the tips. . .

- Upon arrival at the hotel, find out when the meal starts, look at the bus schedule, meet the guide.
-Who is tormented by extraneous noise, change the room if they give you one on the 4th floor: not everyone will like the noise of the pool electric pump.
-There is a free safe in the room, call the reception, a hotel worker will come and help you set your code on it.
- Inspect the room, namely lighting, electrical appliances, toilet, bathroom, furniture . . , if there are comments, then contact the administrator.
-There are drinks and sweets in the fridge - they are paid and you will have to pay for them upon leaving the room. Therefore, it is better not to touch them, and all this can be bought at the Al Madina market near the hotel.
-If you have gray towels . . it's okay . . they are like that from time to time . . if you want snow-white ones, sometimes leave a tip for the cleaner in the amount of 2-3 dirhams (no need to be greedy)
-In the evening, upon arrival, you will be hungry, so I advise you to eat in the restaurant downstairs, the prices are reasonable, the portions are large and everything is very tasty, the menu is in your black daddy on the table near the mirror))
- Take coupons for the beach in advance and not necessarily if it will be a flight at 8.00. Leave everything! The reason for the introduction of coupons and the refusal of the Palm Jumeirah beach is the impudence of tourists from other hotels (1 *) to go to the beaches for free (and also had the audacity to eat for free) at the expense of San Marco, and to Palm Jumeirah also go far.
- Excursions are better to book in the company of Arabian Knights at Rano, who sits near the reception, she will always help you make the right choice and in general can tell you a lot. Guide Vladimir conducts excursions wonderfully. I advise you to go to Al Ain, an overview of Dubai, Ferrari, Abu Dhabi , Indian Ocean, Wild Vadi water park, Atlantis.

-I highly advise you to visit the dental clinic of Dr. Ilham (guide Marina, ask Rano how to find it), the prices are lower than Russian ones, and the quality is on top. There is also a clinic of Dr. Jacques, he was treated for the first year, the quality and price are also excellent.
- Oksana, who sits near the reception, can help a lot with fur coats, don’t buy yourself (if you don’t know where), especially don’t get fooled by the persuasion of street barkers, overpay for a fur coat in their pocket! It’s better to take fur coats in Dolce Fashion, Kazan and Abrazh center.
-On arrival, change dollars for dirhams (the bank is to the left of the hotel exit). In dirhams it is easier to bargain with local sellers, where the price is not fixed. 1 dollar = 3.65 dirhams. And in general, if you want to buy something, then first look online prices for these products in online stores in Russia!
-Be sure to go to the gold market and the spice market (everything is located near Baniyas Square. You can walk to it from the hotel in 15 minutes. Go to the Day2Day and Gift Village shops, where you can buy inexpensive souvenirs, clothes and other household goods. malls where you will be transported by prices more than Baniyas Square.
-You can eat in the evening on this square at McDonald's or other street cafes.
-Ride on local boats arbah (water taxi) for only 1 dirham one way (to the other side ~ 5 minutes), drink fresh juice or coconut juice at the pier (very tasty).
-Finally, a metro station was built near the Hyatt Hotel and on Baniyas Square (15 minutes walk, be sure to take a ride to the Burj Khalifa station, see the best singing fountains in the world and the tallest building! (You can go up to the 124th floor, observation deck for 100 dirhams) , in Dubai Mall, see an artificial waterfall and a huge aquarium).
-Do not litter on the street, do not dress provocatively, smoke near the trash cans and be polite.
Well, that seems to be all, if you forgot to quarrel, I think you will figure it out on the spot yourself.

And now about the most unpleasant thing. Beware of Russian grandmothers !! ! Unfortunately, they still have the Soviet hardening to take huge queues and push everyone and everything in front of them. This applies to the beach bus. When everyone is calmly waiting in line to get on the buses, these "God's dandelions "working vigorously with their elbows and crushing everything that stands in their way, they fly into the bus and take seats for themselves, their husband, father-in-law, girlfriend, friend of a friend, etc.
As a result, the rest of the people stand like fools and wait for this family to sit down in their places !! ! In general, you will understand everything on the spot ; -). Be more polite to each other, don’t break, you’ll all leave anyway. , do not disgrace the Russians, everyone is laughing at us anyway !!!
On this, perhaps, I will finish my story. I ask for forgiveness for spelling errors)). I will be glad if I helped someone.
