The hotel was chosen by the Internet as Sun & Sands 3*. However, due to the inexperience of the travel agent and my carelessness, they booked Sun & Sands Downtown 3 *. It's just awful. . . I never thought that there are such 3 stars, especially in the Emirates. Like, a civilized country, a union of absolute monarchies, where fraud is actually prosecuted by law.
2-bed room about 14 sq. m. (made from a single), one wardrobe, there is practically no free metal, you cling to everything, there is nowhere to put things, scattered around the room, the distance between the beds is less than 50 cm, the neighbor snored in my ear all the time, Gym (probably a former pantry) sq. 2.5 sq. 3 simulators, a track, a bicycle, and a “shake” - no crossbar, no wall, no dumbbells.
Outdoor rooftop pool 24 sq. m and less than a meter deep. There are 3 sun loungers around it!
Quite a decent sauna and jacuzzi for 4 people, although the hotel can accommodate up to 140 people.

Food is worse than under the Soviet regime: synthetic (without meat) sausage and sausages, egg or scrambled eggs, semolina porridge, milk soup, bread and 2 types of rolls, synthetic juices, water, tea (if you can call it tea), jam, oil, and every other day cucumbers with tomatoes. Only coffee (from Turks) was quite decent.
The service is average, conditionally (when they need it) an African who understands Russian and an Arab a day later, although the hotel is Russian-speaking - no one else would go to such a hole. I had to remember school English and demand a 2nd card to open the door of the room (for some reason they accepted for two - one), a transfer to the beach, if it is not provided, hammering nails sticking out of the bedside table in the room, returning after cleaning the towels and etc.
Transfer to the beach is a separate issue. It had to be signed up the day before. In the bus, in addition to the seats, not only folding benches in the aisles were filled, but also the upper part of the motor between the driver and the front passenger, covered
rug, and a person without support was sitting against the movement. Given the high speed of movement, the slightest accident could lead to unpredictable consequences.
From other "negatives": the dollar exchange rate for their derkhans is 10% lower than in exchange offices, excursions are more expensive by $ 20, a representative of Coral Travel appeared only the next day after the placement, signed people up for expensive excursions and did not give any useful advice quickly departed.
From the "positives": clean, cleaned and changed linen every day.
I do not recommend this hotel to anyone, for the same money or cheaper you can find much better
