We rested at the hotel with my husband and 5-year-old daughter from 02.08 to 14.08. 2015. I must say right away that we were in the UAE for the first time, compared with Turkey and Egypt.
A bit of geography: The hotel is located in Dibba (more precisely in the city of Dibba al-Fujairah), and not in Fujairah (as many descriptions say). Dibba is located 60 km from Fujairah (Fujairah is the capital of the Emirate of Fujairah). We rented a car (even when we were in Ukraine) in Fujairah, and in Ukraine, like knowledgeable people, they told us “yes, it’s there nearby. ” So this is not close at all. A free bus goes to Fujairah from the hotel every day, it takes more than an hour to go there (you need to sign up in advance), a taxi will cost about a thousand hryvnias one way. There is also a shuttle to Dubai Mall (100 dirhams per person), 2 times a week. Many hotel descriptions say "All rooms have an ocean view". In reality, there is the Gulf of Oman, if you look at the map, then the Arabian Sea follows it, and only then the Indian Ocean.
Service: The staff is friendly and helpful. Just come and ask, they will definitely help you. They are especially good with children. Few people speak Russian. The room was cleaned every day (changed bed linen, towels, brought water).
Number: All rooms are really with a view of the sea, it is very pleasant to fall asleep and wake up to the sound of the surf. The number is ordinary, perhaps, as in the Egyptian five. Large bed, spacious bathroom. There are slippers. Our hair dryer did not work well - it turned off every five minutes, then we had to wait until it worked again (I have long hair, it dried for half an hour, but it never dried). Free Wi-Fi is available in all rooms and throughout the hotel. Someone complained that Skype does not work well, it turns off all the time. But my daughter watched cartoons on a tablet on YouTube in the evenings, everything worked well.
Hotel territory: The hotel is built along the road on one side, and along the sea on the other side. There is free parking (if you rent a car).
Beach and pools: The beach is large, clean (i. e. I have never seen garbage there), but the sea sometimes brings large stones ashore, so the photos give the impression that it is dirty. At the time when we were resting, there were no problems with sun loungers - i. e. there was no such thing as getting up early in the morning in Egypt and immediately running to the pool to take sun loungers. There is a pool for kids (60 cm deep), it is under a canopy and with fountains, so your child can splash there at least all day long and not get sunstroke.
Food: Less than in Egypt and much less than in Turkey, because there is no hodgepodge. Beef, lamb, chicken, fish (all lumps, no cutlets). Seafood I personally have never come across. Only soup with seafood. A couple of times for dinner there was kebab, very tasty. During our holiday, every day of the week in the evening, dishes from different cuisines of the world (Italian, Mexican, Asian, etc. ) were served for dinner. There is a children's table (french fries, pasta, something like mcnuggets, pizza, hamburgers). We took FB meals, only drinks were paid, and only at lunch and dinner. Everything for breakfast is free. For breakfast (this was not even in Turkey) fresh orange juice, and other juices, various yogurts and other dairy products. A lot of fruits for breakfast, lunch and dinner (watermelons, melons, pineapples, papaya, red grapefruit) and vegetables, both raw and stewed, boiled.
Entertainment: None. But everywhere they write about this hotel that it is for those who want to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city. Only my daughter was bored. At first torn to a disco? . But then I was content with watching cartoons in the room. True, there is a children's club (with computers, slides, games, etc. ), which is open from 9 to 18, with a lunch break. But when compared with Turkey and Egypt, there is no this endless propaganda of animators, guides, sellers, photographers, which personally pleased me very much. Nobody is forcing anyone here.
I'll be happy to answer any questions!
