Rested family of 3 people, an adult son. The hotel is not very old (according to the construction, the windows are all closed, there are not even vents, but there is a view of the ocean. ), probably one of the first in Dubai, there are solid construction sites around, skyscrapers, and it is so small 8 floors. The staff does not speak Russian at all, they even bring information in English to the room every day.
Breakfast is monotonous, boring in a week: cheap sausage. cheese, boiled and fried eggs, yogurt, pastries, all kinds of buns and fruits. lunch and dinner are chic, but for three it costs $ 200-250, without drinks. Alcohol is very expensive and only in the hotel, you can’t buy it in stores, they have a dry law.
Two pools are very small, one of them is for children, there is no temperature control and a lifeguard is on duty nearby. The ocean is beautiful, the sand is white and there were big waves for 4 days, and then calm. But the beach is not cleaned either in the evening or in the morning, unlike in Egypt. there even the sand is sifted and leveled.

There is no entertainment in the hotel, not even a gym. no billiards, no tennis, no music, nothing at all. In the evening you don’t know where to put yourself and there is only one thing left - shopping. Taxi to the center from 20 to 30 dollars, as someone is lucky.
In general, the Emirates is a lot of luxury, You need a lot of money there.
Upon arrival home, I still dreamed for a month and again I want to go there!
