Third day back home. The hotel is quite good if you live in the main building. The villas have a problem - construction. not fading even at night (they are building a huge hotel next to the villas). The second problem is that they take the bus to the beach from the villas.
The food is good, the weight gain is noticeable. Various. But. . . If you paid for dinner, get ready for additional payments (for wine and drinks - this is natural, but each time they charge 44 dirhams per person (about $ 12) for a variety of dishes! Well, 40-50 dollars a day extra - this is nonsense, but the impression that you are specifically bred is persistent. By the way, you can pay in dollars and euros.
The beach is pure fine sand. In the morning, even before breakfast, the Italians and Germans grab the sunbeds. You need to take a towel from the pool and then grab free sunbeds before breakfast. there may be queues for breakfast in the restaurant if you go there after eight. Whoever got up first - that and slippers!
My wife is sad - in stores in Dubai the assortment is worse than in St. Petersburg and, attention - not cheaper, but even somewhat more expensive! Fairy tales about duty-free shopping are personally verified by her, and in this case I trust her.
Excursions. There is nothing special to see and it is terribly hot. Worthy excursion - to Musandam (Oman). Very relaxing, everyone dived and admired the corals, swam right in the ocean, and they ate.
About the bad. ABOUT VERY BAD. We and all other races were not immediately settled in the booked hotel, but were put in a satellite hotel - Hut Springs, in the mountains, 40 minutes from the sea. If you read the review of one of the tourists about the Lebanese manager, then I can confirm: the bastard is top-notch. Removes our reservations and sells the hotel for various conferences and meetings. As a result, you find yourself in the mountains, but in the garbage. The hotel there is wonderful, but there is nothing around and there is nothing to ride on! At night we slept under blankets and in dressing gowns - the air conditioner did not turn off. Pay attention - only Russians were mocked like that, then he himself watched how the British, Germans and others were settled, and ours were sent to the "stump", which indicates the poor quality of the host travel agency. The next day, I nevertheless achieved a check-in at the purchased hotel (I myself worked in this business and I know the nuances), but other tourists were kept away for another 3 days (out of 10! ). True, they had to ride us a lot and for free, but here we did not miss our own. Yelling and scandal in this situation is useless. There is a Russian-speaking girl from Belarus, but she is a purely technical worker and will not help you in any way, she will just translate.
The sea washed away all sorrows. Only shy stingrays and small fish are found in it. The water temperature is about 30 degrees. The tide was clear and there were waves. At a distance of 100 meters from the shore it becomes deep, and so - waist-deep. Children expanse.
You can rest. You can even take a break. But Rhodes is better.
