Since we were traveling in the summer, which is referred to as off-season in the UAE, we were afraid that there would be a wild heat. The first day it was like this, having arrived at the hotel at 01.00 at night, when we got out of the car, we were greeted by hot air and we saw condensation on the front door... and got scared. We were put in a smoking room even though we are non-smokers. But it didn't give us any discomfort. They didn’t take a deposit from us, we ordered HB, why we didn’t take a deposit, we don’t know.
The next morning the weather was already less hot, the ocean was +30, in the pool the water was colder +25-27. The furniture in the room is really not new, but you need to take into account that it is all made of natural materials (wood and stone) and naturally no one will change it every year. There was no fungus and mold in the room, although they wrote here that they had seen it. Cleaned every day on demand. If you need to change your bed, you need to put a sheet with an inscription on it, if you don’t put it on the bed, then the servants will automatically decide that you decided to fight for the cleanliness of the environment and will not change your bed. Regarding food, breakfasts are really monotonous, although the quantity is impressive, but by day 3 you understand that everything is the same....Dinners and lunches are varied almost every time some new cuisines, and not only the food, but also the interior of the hall and the clothes of the chefs in the style of that cuisine which they represent. The food is very tasty and to the slaughter. HB meals do not include drinks at dinner. It must be ordered separately, which is wildly expensive. The room has a kettle, cups, tea and coffee bags and water. Those who travel with HB should take into account that they give 0.5 liters of water for free per day for one person, everything that is higher must be paid. You usually find out about this when you check out... which is annoying. The staff are mostly Filipinos, friendly. There are Russian-speaking and waitresses and Katya at the reception. There were no problems with explaining.
There is a shop near the hotel, but we never visited it. regarding the Lulu supermarket which was praised here. To be honest, the supermarket is so-so, the prices are more expensive than in Dubai, the assortment is so-so and mostly Made in China. The equipment is really cheaper but not colossal.

Regarding the animation in the hotel, since it was not the season, it is very poor: aqua aerobics, water polo, volleyball. In the evening, a Russian band sings in the Lobby Bar, and in the evening, in the bar on the street, you can smoke a hookah, very tasty. Wi-Fi paid $ 14 an hour (I could be wrong). But if you have the makings of a detective, you will receive passwords for free))
The hotel is very good, but if you go order food A1. So, it's more fun. I advise everyone.
