1. We chose out of habit - I liked the rest last year, and in vain.
2. There was no repair, the furniture was already completely broken.
3. Bath and shower not in the best condition - cosmetic glues, etc.
4. The room is still with the same rugs with stains.
5. Bed - last year, full of stains and holes.
6. Bathrobe as usual - please ask at the reception.
7. They didn't take a deposit for the room - we have some kind of their club card.
8. Cleaning every day - but without a vacuum cleaner.
9. Water has become 0.5 liters per person less than last year.
10. Restaurant - oh horror. The chef has changed. The number of dishes and their variety has halved. They did not complain only about the abundance of juices and fruits.
11. Only Breeze worked, and last year the second Arabic restaurant received guests.
12. The entire Russian-speaking staff has changed in the hotel. Although 2 very nice people turned out to be Kazakhs, and of course with knowledge of languages.

13 Almost everyone who works directly with vacationers has learned Russian in courses, but they don't want to talk in principle.
14. Why don't they want to? But because in the hotel this year 30% of the visiting Russian-speaking population - it was like from a "tale of the dashing 90s" - with chains around their necks, in tracksuits, etc.
To the restaurant in sweatpants and T-shirts, young ladies in swimsuits and tights. Although everyone is given a letter with an explanation - there is a dress code.
15. Our former compatriots are also scandalous. I heard the swearing more than once.
16. Many Germans 50% - almost all are elderly. There were Belgians, French, Poles, Finns, Moldavians.
17. The beach is in poor condition. They pick it up around 7-7:30. And somehow. The showers are unscrewed, with broken parts. The sand is swept out of them when people are already going to bask on the beach.
The beach itself has become very rocky and strewn with shells. They cleaned it 3 times - but stupidly, after 3 ebbs and flows everything returned to normal. Convenient entry into the water near the 1st building.
The pools are filled with vacationers, and. . . chlorinated water. The smell can linger until noon.
18. Transfer to Fujairah is now by appointment at the reception, for a few days - 12 people each. Is free.
In Dubai - for a fee 100 AMD.
19. Guided tours are expensive. It's easier to take a local driver - 150 Abu Dhabi dollars for the whole day. 110 - Dubai, this is the whole car - usually a Toyota minivan, sometimes a Lexus, etc. Look for a company - it will be cheaper.
20. Several noisy cats live on the territory... and rats - they came from breakfast - they sit on their steps - they take sunbaths. Even the young lady - the senior German manager, who was passing by at that moment waved her hand at her.
21. If it were not for warm water, a comfortable sun (this year the air temperature is much lower) - we would turn a blind eye to many things.

BUT the Radisson chain is squeezing everything it can out of the hotel without apparently making any investments. Therefore, 5 stars are not here. The Japanese filed their JAL, the Radisons "roll" it to zero, apparently.
