After a long renovation of the house, my husband and I decided to have a rest and at the same time celebrate my DR.
We chose a hotel for a long time, at first we thought to go to the Intercontinental, but when we saw the dug up beach in the reviews of tourists, we changed our minds.
They bribed a photo of the beach, but alas, our expectations were not met.

The flight was at 7 am. According to our calculations, we should have been at the hotel around lunchtime, but the transfer to the hotel took not 2-2.5 hours, as the travel agency said, but 4 !!! ! As a result, tired and hungry, we arrived at the hotel by 19 o'clock. According to the rules of the hotel, you can’t swim in the dark (and we didn’t have the strength anymore), and in the end we had dinner and went to bed. So one day was gone. We thought we would at least get some sleep, but at night the landlines in the room began to ring at 12 at night, 2 and 4 in the morning. As a result, the husband went to understand the reception, but to no avail.
The next night it all happened again. We then simply turned them off ourselves for the entire duration of our vacation. Waking up in the morning, through the closed curtains, I saw that light was breaking through a HOLE in the curtain (and this is 5? ). The number of towels for 2 was 5 pcs. The bed is huge 2/2 meters, but creaky, the husband looked in and saw that there were 2 pieces of wood under the bed and propped up the bed in the center so that it would not fall through. But the most annoying thing is the mismatch of the beach. Half of the beach on the right was closed and construction work was going on on it. We learned that in October there was a flood and half of the beach was left with sand, and the rest was littered with huge stones and closed for swimming. As a result, it was crowded for us to swim in the remaining "sea sheep pen"; the length of the rest of the beach is about 100 meters, and 30 meters to the buoys due to constant low tides. We do not recognize pools at all, we love the freedom of "big water" and for hours we can not leave the water, as it was on nissi beach. Sand with fragments of shells and it was extremely unpleasant to walk on it. My husband found a piece of wood with a nail and a shoe brush on the beach, and that's all on the private beach of this 5 * hotel ((((
The system is all inclusive, not quite ALL inclusive. Breakfasts, lunches and dinners only in the Breeze restaurant, in other bars and restaurants on site, food is paid, drinks are free in all bars on the territory, but not all. They took wine, very sour, but the pinocolade is too alcoholic, I more or less liked the mojito. With DR from the hotel I was not congratulated in words or a postcard. By the way, last year my husband and I rested in Cyprus in 3 *, he had a birthday and at dinner he was given a present from the hotel in the form of a cake. It was very very nice.
There was an unfortunate incident at dinner. They didn’t want to serve us, they said that we would have come for dinner for the second time, but we went to Fujairah that day and from 15:40 to 20.30 we were not at the hotel. Then they figured out everything and served it, but the sediment remained (((we went on an excursion to Dubai for the whole day, we didn’t see anything supernatural there. They only take them to those stores that are beneficial to them and past small boutiques along the roads. But I still got to such a market Morashid in Fujairah, but only by taxi. By the way, in the emirates there are practically no pedestrian zones, it is possible to move only by transport, which was also forbidden for us people who like to walk around. On the last day, we begged for our lunch in the form of dry rations.

As a result, out of the 10 days that we were there, we got 8 full days for 163.000 r for two. I think that we rested in the UAE for the first and last time, because we do not like various kinds of restrictions. All pleasant trips and impressions. I hope this review can help someone make the right choice.
