Quote from the advertisement: “Opened in May 2007. the luxurious hotel JAL Fujairah, owned by the Japanese chain JAL City and Nikko Hotel International…” was very encouraging. We bought a tour and off we went.
In the room of a five-star hotel, when checking into the room, it did not work: the lighting in the bathroom, the corridor, partly in the room, and also on the balcony. Mold crawling all over the ceiling completed the picture, the air conditioner worked like a refrigerator, emitting eerie sounds that made it impossible to sleep, a gaping hole in the curtain concluded the general impression of the declared comfortable hotel.
Cleaning in the room is mediocre, ie. towels were changed, nothing more, but the tip on the nightstand was not stale.

Based on the reviews of tourists on this site, we did not take a note, because. Internet is provided, on TV, by default, by the hotel. As it turned out, the Internet search engine worked for the first 2 days, after which only the site splash screen was loaded, while the search did not work in principle, two channels were active - travel in Arabic and weather in the UAE.
The contingent of vacationers is half Russian, half German, however, at the reception and in the cafe it’s a breeze, they don’t understand a word of Russian at all, and they communicate exclusively in English, while at the same time, at the request of the client, they generally turn on a fool and don’t understand any -what.
The exchange rate at the reception does not stand up to scrutiny - 330 dirhams for 100 dollars, while the established 360-365 at the airport and in Dubai, while the exchange at the reception is possible only in a round amount, at least - 100 US dollars, less - go outside and change (the words of a hotel employee).
The food is mediocre and monotonous. Despite the fact that the hotel is located on the ocean, the fish was served 2 times, and seafood - as a delicacy, which is very surprising. The cafe staff is extremely unfriendly, set to be positive only on Friday, when local Arabs with their families come to the hotel for the weekend.
The beach is huge, but not well-groomed, there are cigarette butts, pieces of paper and other garbage in the sand, the beach is not cleaned, there are no sun loungers and ashtrays nearby.
Shopping in Dubai on the hotel bus is a mockery of tourists. That's what it's called - the PAZIK bus. It is very hot and crowded in the bus, there were not enough places for everyone, some of the tourists were sitting in the aisle, 2 hours of travel were unforgettable, given that the people were a little overstocked with purchases.
Bottom line: the sea is super, everything else is a boarding house in Feodosia, 3 stars.
PYSY: I'm sorry if I offended anyone, because they wrote that it was very fashionable and comfortable, but there is something to compare with, namely in the UAE, in the same pricing policy.
