The holiday left a very positive impression. I would like to repeat. There were five of us, my young man with his parents and sister and I with them.
We had a private transfer to the hotel. The driver was very good, his name is Fais. Friendly, showed the buildings, talked about them, we asked to stop near the supermarket and then near the fruit stalls, no problem. Stopped and waited. In stores, I liked juices most of all, ours can not be compared with them, yoghurts (delicious, but they also give in the hotel). Insanely delicious dates.
ALCOHOL. brought with you in your luggage. then we went to a semi-legal store at a nearby Holiday Beach Motel. beer there is from 3-7 dirhams, and in a hotel it is 25 dirhams.

ROOMS are cleaned every day, bed linen every three days, if you ask, they will change it earlier, tea and coffee is free, but sometimes they forget to put it, but you can go to the reception and bring it. Tips were left at one dollar each, but the quality of cleaning is already very good, sometimes they just supply more drinking water, otherwise they put one bottle per person... Shower gel, shampoo, lotion, conditioner as much as you like, they change every day. We lived in 1 building, right next to the pool, which is the only heated one, the water there is always very warm, you can swim from 8-20.00, there are 2 more large pools, but in February there is enough cool water there. The food was BB, the breakfasts are very good, a huge selection of desserts.
BEACH. You need to rest carefully, many of us got burned on the first day, The beach is really right as soon as you leave the hotel and is very good, the entry into the water is clean, on the shore you can collect very beautiful shells that throw ashore every evening. The beach belongs to the hotel, so there are few people there, and the area is large.
INTERNET in the hotel is quite expensive, 30 minutes-30 dirhams. 1 hour-50.24h -120, if the trip is long and the Internet is really needed, it is better to take it for 24 hours, you can press the stop button, and then go back in, so it will be enough for the whole trip.
SEA CRUISE. we booked a sea cruise from Oman. The male part of the vacationers was delighted, but the female half was not very good. some of their women were seasick, I personally was just scared, because. it was very rocking on the waves. we were taken to a small bay where you could see fish and sea urchins, dive, they fed there, not bad at all, in my opinion, although without any special frills and quite simply.

DUBAI. we were offered a trip to dubai for 5 people, for 500 dollars, round trip, unlimited time, Russian-speaking driver. but we decided to do it differently, we took the free hotel bus to Dubai. (you need to sign up in advance, as the number of places is limited) there we were brought to a huge shopping center. If you are a fan of branded items, then this is heaven. If this is not important, then you can do as we do. We took a taxi and went to some other area (unfortunately, the names of zhabyl, but the command can be clarified) there we met a Russian-speaking man who offered to show us everything, we walked through a clothing and souvenir shop where everything cost 10 dirhams. then we went to others, more expensive, but the price was still very low. then he showed us the golden fork restaurant, where they speak Russian. There we ordered 3 portions of meat and 2 fish (shrimps, squid, fish and something else) and freshly squeezed juices, the portions were very large, we ate heartily, we also took 2 salads, and paid for 5 people 260 dirhams. in my opinion, insanely cheap.
There you can see fur coats and equipment, we bought no beech for $ 380.
We went to Dibba to have dinner from the hotel, it is better to leave the hotel and catch a taxi yourself, then you can get there not for 50 dirzams, but for 15 or 12.5. ate at Al Noaman Restaraunt. Just great. if you go, then only there. For 5 people 200 dirhams, without denying yourself anything, and overeating to satiety. we took a grilled meat mix, it goes with a green salad, and more salads. and freshly squeezed juices there for 5 dirhams are very tasty, I advise you to try lemon with mint. In general, a very good and family holiday. there is almost no animation in the hotel, but everything is there for children, there are a lot of families with vacationers with kids.
