The hotel corresponds to the declared 5 stars and is designed for a beach, respectable vacation.
We arrived at the hotel in the evening, when it looks especially spectacular because of the external lighting and the large rich hall. There was a Russian-speaking employee at the front desk, who arranged our check-in in about ten minutes.
The room was given on the first floor in a 3-storey building near the pool. Of course, there was no breathtaking view from the window, but through the balcony there are eight steps to the pool, you can really swim around the clock. The room has air conditioning, furniture, TV and everything else that was stated - good quality and working properly. Cleaning every day, cleaned equally well with or without tips. Water and cosmetics are delivered as needed. I would like to note the large, comfortable beds and a set of pillows.
The territory of the hotel is not big, but quite green and well-groomed.

At the same time, everything you need is placed compactly, and you can walk to any place in a few minutes. And if you take into account the solar activity in the UAE in the summer, this is really a big plus.
Meals in the main restaurant according to the "buffet" system are tasty, varied and plentiful, designed for a European tourist. At the same time, there are always Arabic dishes, and sometimes, for example, Chinese or Japanese. In the main restaurant there is an employee who speaks Russian, if necessary, you can always contact her. The hotel has two paid a la carte restaurants, with French and Italian cuisine. In these restaurants, I only had breakfast, so I can’t write something specific about them, but if you want, you can dine there on the terrace overlooking the bay. A beautiful view opens in the cafe on the ninth floor, and the best service and the most delicious cocktails in the lobby bar.
Alcohol according to the "all inclusive" system is available from twelve o'clock in the afternoon until twelve o'clock at night, according to the "ultra all inclusive" system - around the clock.
A huge plus of the rest is the warm sea. Indeed, you can swim as much as you like and at the same time feel absolutely comfortable. The sea is transparent with a smooth entrance, calm, with strongly salty water. As for me, the sensations when diving are not comfortable and there is nothing to see underwater. The beach is sandy, clean, half empty on weekdays, most tourists swim in the pool. There are more vacationers on weekends, so if you want a certain place on the beach, it is better to take it in the morning, just leaving a towel on the sunbed. The hotel offers a variety of water activities. Prices from 100 dirhams for a "banana".
The service is quite consistent with the hotel of this level, the hotel employees are quite capable of doing their job.

I watched how visitors are seated in a restaurant, when companies of 10 ...12 people ask to be seated at one table, I liked how professionally they do it. I also liked that, in addition to everything obligatory, the staff tried to offer those small services that, in general, they should not do. The driver of a buggy car passing in the same direction will always offer a ride. In a restaurant, as soon as they find out where you are from, they begin to say thank you in Russian. Or you can ask Vera, who works at the front desk, to set up Wi-Fi on your phone.
Animation in Russian is practically absent.

For me, the minus of the hotel was the lack of Ukrainian television channels.

Stay at the end of September 2015, trip type: trip for two.
