Finally, we visited this fabulous country of the UAE, but more on that in another review.
1. We took the tour from the Moscow tour operator "Labyrinth", maybe this is a respected agency, but unfortunately (or fortunately) we did not communicate with any representative of this tour operator. No one met or waited for us at the airport, we didn’t see a representative of the company for the entire time of our vacation, no one called us... and in general there was a feeling that the agency’s duties ended with receiving money for the tour. Here is a link to the site of this tour operator http://labirint. travel/
2. Air Arabia flew, lunch and one drink were included in the cost of our flight (we were asked to show boarding passes), the rest was an additional charge.
3. As you understand, there was no transfer to the hotel, but we were not used to retreating and took a TOYOTA car at the Sharjah airport
KOROLLA for hire. During the rest, we 10 times rejoiced at this. The rental price for 7 days turned out to be (full insurance + child seat) 1360 dirhams (13600 rubles) Layout by cost;
car rental - 880 dirhams
insurance-235 dirham
child seat-245 dirham
Surprisingly, everyone writes in the reviews that they additionally block on the card from 1000 to 2000 dirhams in case of fines and accidents, we didn’t block anything, when we handed over the car, they wrote off exactly the cost of rent. The agency is called Dollar.
General recommendations for those wishing to travel around the UAE by car:
- Obtain an international driver's license in your home country (it will take 3 to 5 hours to process) - a must in the UAE.
- Be sure to have a bank card (practically they don’t rent for cash)
- Buy a car map of the UAE at the airport (as an ideal DPRS option, download Cityguide to any tablet), as my husband did) we didn’t stray at all, each time we arrived at the exact point (first, of course, find the coordinates of this point on the Internet)
- Take full insurance (no deductible) the difference of 35 dirhams (350 rubles) will cover any trouble
- Take a car with a good one, not less than 1700 cm3. volume (heavy load + air conditioning at full capacity)
- If you are traveling with a child, take a mini-car seat for children with you (which taxi drivers use when transporting babies), this is such a support for the ass with seat belts (no larger than a pack of diapers and costing 500 rubles), since there is a lot of tension with child seats in agencies and if they are then in poor condition. At the same time, the cost of a car seat for children per day is around 35 dirhams, which for a week will amount to 245 dirhams (2450 rubles). Transportation of children under 8 years old without special devices is prohibited in the UAE.
- Gasoline in the UAE is about 4 times CHEAPER than in Russia
- The roads are EXCELLENT, country roads are completely lit at night! there are many interchanges and roundabouts, but there are a lot of signs, they are understandable and clear.
We got by car to the hotel in about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
4. Check-in: Azis was at the check-in - excellent Russian, responsive, attentive, settled us in Superior with a terrace, room 7004, the parking attendant drove the car to the parking lot.
5. Room - everything is very good: ceramic floor, king-size bed, added another bed for a child (no extra charge), everything for life is in the room, hairdryer, TV (there was no time to watch), a small refrigerator (minibar is expensive ) Soap-shampoo-gel in full, needle threads, hats, cotton pads and sticks (no toothpaste, toothbrushes, shaving cream, combs - you need to take it with you) The quality of the hair conditioner is not very good, it moisturizes poorly in such a hot climate. Tip: Bring the most moisturizing conditioner you can find. The closet is normal, there are a lot of hangers, bathrobes "waffle" and slippers, a kettle and a set of all sorts of tea and coffee bags, cream, sugar. There are many sockets, but they are of the standard "for three plugs", there is only one adapter. Tip: take your adapters according to the number of your devices (taking one adapter and one splitter will not work, the adapter is cut off if you connect more than two devices). The terrace is open, a table and two chairs, goes straight to the lawn, very soft and clean - our child ran away barefoot all the time. Room cleaning twice a day. They clean qualitatively and do not hack. Change of linen and towels daily. There is a savings program - if you think that it is not worth changing a towel or linen today, fold the towels neatly on a shelf and make the bed - they are untouched, if you want them to be changed today, throw the towel on the floor in the bathroom, and leave the bed not filled.
5. The territory of the hotel is very well-groomed, green and clean, it feels like the hotel workers wash and clean it around the clock, gardeners work all the time. Birds sing, especially in the morning. There are many birds, they are not afraid of people and come very close. The hotel is very quiet and peaceful.
6. Swimming pool - large enough and with different depths. Near a bar. You can reach out for a cocktail right from the pool. There is a medium size hill. Sun loungers and umbrellas in sufficient quantity. Beach towels are provided nearby (and it is fashionable to get up to three towels per card). The water is highly chlorinated. We have never swum in the pool... and how is it possible if the ocean is so beautiful.
7. The beach is very good, long and large, sandy. The entrance to the sea is convenient, gentle, but the depth begins close enough. The waves are gorgeous, pumped up on them enough. There are plenty of sunbeds and umbrellas. In the middle of the beach there is a lifeguard booth, the guys watch for the swimmers in four eyes. Oil while we were at the hotel was not observed. The sand is clean, if the sea carries out algae and garbage, it will be instantly removed. Soul on the beach. The water in the sea is very warm and salty, very beneficial for the skin, but if it gets into the eyes, you need to rinse it. Be sure to take a few bottles of water to the beach. In general, you need (and want) to drink a lot of water more than 2 liters. After 11 o'clock we were already running away from the beach (traveled). There is a bar on the beach where you can eat and drink. There are two more bars nearby. It's good on the beach after 17 o'clock... the breeze is not something that refreshes, but somehow softens the accumulated heat, the waves calm down a little, the water temperature is equal to body temperature, all the pores open and the natural SPA procedure is ready for you. There are water entertainments on the beach - parachuting, banana riding and others.
8. Main restaurant: we took HB (breakfast, dinner) and this is quite enough, there is no appetite at all for lunch. Breakfasts are more European - eggs in three or four versions, pancakes, two types of cereals, mushrooms, potatoes, sweet potatoes, cottage cheese, toast, vegetables, sausages and cheeses, yogurts, pastries, jams, tea, coffee, instant drinks.
Dinner on ordinary days (except Fridays and Saturdays) is ordinary - a couple of types of meat, a couple of types of chicken, fresh and grilled vegetables, fish, pasta with different sauces, a bunch of different side dishes, salads, soups and all sorts of snacks, desserts..... , and on Friday and Saturday gala dinners - sushi, seafood, a lot of meat and fish, a lot of snacks. For dinner, all drinks are paid: water 0.5 l -16 dirhams (160 rubles), beer 0.5 l - 35 dirhams (350 rubles) wine 2 glasses - 62 dirhams (620 rubles) as well as tea and coffee but we didn't drink them in the evening. With fruit, of course, tension: dates, pineapple, watermelon and melon (once there were bananas). Of course, who is used to relaxing in Turkey, the table will seem scarce, but everything is there for a normal diet. Lots of spices, of course. But the choice is large enough that everyone would find a dish to their liking. I didn't like the beer. The restaurant has children's tables and chairs, the child also has something to feed.
9. Miniclub - was opposite our building, normally equipped, but we traveled all the time and the child was there only once and then for about 5 minutes, so I can’t evaluate the nannies. Lots of toys, all cute. Minidisco Friday.
10. Internet sucks!! ! And as a hotel - expensive and no, and bought from the operator DU. But we traveled a lot and concluded that this is a general trend in the country, and not the problems of a particular hotel. So far, they have not understood why there are such problems, especially when you consider that in many other ways the UAE is ahead of the rest.
10. Hosdela - in front of the hotel there is really a gas station and drinks there really are 10 times cheaper than the hotel offer, there are all sorts of snacks and you can buy a DU SIM card. Lulu supermarket is 20 minutes by car.
11. Location of the hotel - beach hotel, 40 km to the nearest city of Fujairah. There are small settlements along the way. Sharjah is 127 km away. , to Dubai 154 km. to Abu Daba 378 km. The area is mountainous, there are many coves nearby. We visited all these cities, but, as I said at the beginning, this is another story. So the feedback is great.
I will be happy to answer all your questions, write, I hope my review will help you.
