Rested in this hotel as they say "out of season" at the end of June 2011. The trip turned out spontaneously and there was not much time to choose a hotel. After reading conflicting reviews about the weather up to +50, hot water in the sea and bedbugs in the hotel, we decided to check it out for ourselves : -) The hotel turned out to be quite neat and comfortable. Yes, it is not new, but well-groomed. The territory is not large, but compact and very green - a lot of palm trees and lawns. Pleased with the beach - very close to the hotel, which can not be said about other hotels on the coast. White sand, no living creatures in the sea, the water is clean and transparent! The room was overlooking the street, the roof and the construction site)))) But it didn’t bother me at all, since the room does not have a balcony and the windows do not open. By the way, most of the rooms in the hotel do not have balconies. Our room was from the "standard" category - a safe, an ironing board with an iron, a device for ironing trousers, a tea and coffee set, a plasma TV with Russian channels, a hairdryer, even floor scales! The air conditioner is centralized, but there is a regulator where you can set the temperature and power that are comfortable for you. There was an ice machine on the floor - a very handy thing! The bottled water in the room was replenished daily. The only thing you should not forget to take with you is toothbrushes, toothpaste, machines and shaving foam. Everything in the room worked properly, cleaned daily without a tip. Tipping was left only at check-out, as they were satisfied with the unobtrusive and high-quality service. Food - on the level. We took full board and did not regret it, since the country is not cheap and eating in a cafe is not cheap! Dinners - themed, every evening something new! Lots of seafood. Everything is very tasty, especially desserts! ))) Alcohol is sold in the hotel, but it is better to buy in Duti. The sea is pleasant in the morning. During the day, of course, swimming is an amateur, and you don’t have to day after day. The average air temperature during the day is + 40-43, but the humidity is not high and is tolerated normally. The swimming pool is not big and the water gets cold in summer. The pool bar is a bit run down. There is no animation in the hotel. There is construction going on next to the hotel, but there is no constant noise. How quiet they manage to build! ))) Since the Emirates are also struggling with smoking, I want to add information for smokers - the hotel has smoking rooms, you can smoke by the pool, on the beach, on the summer terrace of the restaurant and cafe. Ashtrays are placed everywhere. In general, the hotel is for a relaxing budget holiday. And in conclusion, I want to add that it is very important for yourself to determine what kind of vacation you want! We love to travel, we have been to different countries, and our visit to the country is not limited to a hotel - lying on a trestle bed on the beach or by the pool, or sitting in a room! On each trip, we try to get to know the country better, its culture and flavor - we visit many excursions and travel on our own. Therefore, this hotel suited us to the fullest! And if you want luxury - welcome to the hotel Burj Al Arab (Sail) or Atlantis! ))))
