Delivery to the beach: no problem, no queues. 2 buses brought to the beach and back at the set time: 8.00 there and 11.30-12.00 back (the exact return time was reported in the bus). There is a swimming pool on the roof of the hotel, but we didn't use it. They tried 2 times, but the 1st time - it was cleaned, the 2nd fell out on the weekend and there was no person serving the pool. Yes, the pool is not much needed, because. there is a beach. More precisely, there are 2 beaches: Al Mamzar and Jumeira. Al Mamzar - v. s. beautiful with a large beautiful park, entrance 1 euro, overlooking Sharjah (neighboring city), there are mushrooms and palm trees under which you can hide from the sun). In Mamzar we went to the far shore (No. 3). Beach 2 (Jumeira) is divided into 2: free and paid. Free - a large beach without fungus and palm trees). Paid - with a park, but without fungi on the shore. There is nowhere to hide from the sun, as a rule there are a lot of people. We did not like this beach, so we went to the free one when the bus took us to Jumeira. Even on a weekend (Friday) there are fewer people on the free beach.
District, cat. the hotel is located - not rich. There are many shops on the 1st floors of the buildings. Near the Gold Market, Nasser Square (fur coats). Every day, a free bus took us to the malls of Dubai and Sharjah.
The country itself is very interesting, people are not evil, there is a minimum of theft, they do not cheat, the inhabitants do not drink alcohol. What you can be afraid of is the local Russians!! ! They fool us (the Russians themselves) a lot. They can slip cheap things under the guise of a good thing. At the end of the tour, my wife and I were not at all afraid of the locals, but we simply shied away from the Russians!! ! Don't trust them! When buying an expensive item, seek help from a specialist, otherwise they will slip a fake (you can contact Evgeny at the reception - he will tell you where to find an expert with whom you can make a purchase of an expensive item).

Fur shop "Fur Planet". Do not go to this store!! ! In our hotel there was a case that they slipped a mink coat instead - it is not clear from what it was made for a lot of money ! ! Insist that you write in the check not only “Fur coat” (in English), but also from whose wool it was made and other parameters so that you can contact the police. In general, in case of any such actions, in case of deception, immediately threaten the police, tk. they are afraid of it. And contact the police - they will sort it out and punish you.
We are not supporters of going to the same hotel several times. But you can return to San Marco if you have no choice, because. liked the hotel.
