Stayed at the hotel as a family with children. The hotel is perfect for families and children. The hotel operates on an ultra all-inclusive system, with an excellent beach and wonderful animation. But everything is in order. I'll start with check-in and rooms. From the airport we took a private transfer, the trip took a little less than 2 hours. We arrived at the hotel around 9:00 am and were checked in immediately. But the concept of the hotel is such that even at UAI, on the day of arrival you can eat only starting from lunch, and on the day of departure only breakfast is included. It's good that we were warned about this, and there were no inconveniences. The hotel charges a $100 deposit, you need to know about it. Now about the room itself. The room is wonderful, we had a spacious Deluxe Room Sea View, where we very comfortably accommodated two children. The room has one large room, which is divided into 2 zones with a sliding door, which is very convenient. For large companies or families there are adjoining rooms, which is also very convenient. Large comfortable balcony, comfortable bathroom. Wi-Fi worked well in the room, which is free in the hotel, a set for coffee and tea with a kettle, a free safe, individual, not general air conditioning, satellite with Russian channels, a mini-bar immediately brought bathrobes and slippers upon request. The mini bar was replenished every day. They put 2 sodas, 2 packaged juices, 2 small bottles of water, 2 cans or bottles of beer, when that. They cleaned the room every day and changed the bed linen, the cleaning was excellent. And you can also order a late dinner with drinks and even alcohol from the menu from 1 am to half 7 in the morning. A lot of staff speaks Russian, there are Russian-speaking girls at the reception and Russian-speaking animation, which broke all conversational barriers, and the children were delighted with the animation. It was very important for us that not only we, but also the children would have a rest. I was immediately impressed by the very attentive attitude and the most personal approach that I have ever met. The hotel was selected for all our whims, suggested all the moments that may arise, and pleased with the price, lower than the cost of tour operators. Their choice of food was based on the UAI concept, which for this hotel and its remoteness was the best option. There are several restaurants in the hotel. Yes, there are also afternoon snacks in the Mammone restaurant from 16.30 to 17 hours. Children at the pool bar and restaurant Bahari always had ice cream from 11 until sunset, but only for children under 12 years old. Our children are 6 and 8, so they ate as much as they wanted. There are three à la carte restaurants open for dinner. Al Majlis main buffet restaurant. Open hours but convenient. Breakfast from 7-11.30, then brunch on the terrace until 11.30, lunch from 13-15, dinner from 19-22. It turns out that you can eat around the clock, including room service. The buffet was a bit surprising in appearance because the choice did not seem to be large. In fact, all the dishes are very tasty, every day they tried to diversify the cuisine with dishes from different countries, and all the food, absolutely everything, was very, very tasty. For children, a separate children's table, you could choose. There was almost no seafood, sometimes shrimp and squid, but otherwise the choice is very good. By appointment, they always ate for dinner at different restaurants for free. Italian restaurant La Cuccina, Asian Sensasia, Bahari barbecue restaurant. In the Al Moltaqa restaurant from 22 - 1 nights hot and light snacks. You could have a bite to eat on the beach at the bar from morning until sunset, or drink a cocktail or coffee at the lobby bar until 12 at night. For those vacationers who are on ULA for those dishes and drinks that are paid in restaurants and bars, a 25% discount is a pleasant moment. The restaurant has a dress code, so keep that in mind. It is also forbidden to take food and drinks out of restaurants, they can even take payment for this. There are two swimming pools in the hotel, including a children's pool, which are heated to a pleasant temperature, and an indoor one, but it is cool. The beach is not very big, the sea was cool, but sometimes we swam. Most of them sat and sunbathed by the pool. Lots of free and additionally paid entertainment in the hotel itself and on the water. Free fitness center, sauna, whirlpool table tennis, playroom for children, and even a nightclub, admission is free. Full day of adult animation: volleyball, darts, boccia, aqua aerobics, competitions, children's animation and kids club and playground. For a fee, you can practice water sports: canoeing, water skiing, jet skiing, parasailing, banana and even diving, or go on an excursion. Importantly for some, the hotel offers a free shuttle service to Dubai Mall, twice a week on Mondays and Thursdays, and to Fujairah City Center. In general, the hotel is quiet and cheerful at the same time. We advise you to take UIA right away and relax to the fullest.
