The luggage was picked up at the airport. They exchanged money at the rate of 3.6. We were met by girls from the tour operator. Quickly sat on the transfer from the airport to the hotel. He delivered tourists to 2 more hotels, so we drove around Dubai itself. We saw a lot of beauty : ) The total time to the hotel turned out to be about 1.20. We even saw local pastures with camels and gazelles : )
On arrival we were greeted by a concierge who collected our luggage. At the reception, we were met by a pretty guy, sorry, I didn’t notice his name, he scanned our passports. He warned that it is necessary to leave the amount for tax and a deposit. The deposit amount is 500 dirhams. The tax for 3 people per room was $50 for 9 nights. In principle, this is convenient, because you can pay with them in a cafe on the beach or in a bar of a pirate club or when buying entertainment on the beach. When we checked out, they were returned to us at the rate of 3.45 dirhams.
We were asked to wait 15 minutes to check the room before we checked in.
For waiting, they gave 2 cards for 20 dirhams for machines in the Pirate Club. The choice of slot machines is small and they are not watched much, but there is enough to play : ) even tickets are given for which you can get a prize!
But you need to spend at least dirham 200 for this : )
The room was perfect, the front desk guy said he was the best : ) AND IT WAS TRUE! although they never asked.
On the 7th floor. Very large and spacious, with everything you need: ironing board, iron, refrigerator, kettle, hair dryer, TV. Tea, coffee, sugar and sugar substitutes, water - all this is replenished every day. 2 liters of water per room, in the restaurant you can ask for more bottles. The air conditioner was not even particularly used, because the room was not on the sunny side.
In the hallway there is a mirror on the floor. Huge wardrobes. There is a safe, laundry bag in the laundry. The bathroom is very spacious: there is a glass-enclosed shower and a separate bathtub.
Comfortable bed consisting of two medium beds.
Sofa, 2 tables, armchair, chair, bedside tables and chests of drawers.
Cleaning is also everyday, very good, they change towels, vacuum, change the bed, a couple of times they didn’t clean it right away, but 4 hours after they turned on the cleaning button.
The weather was excellent, at the end of November we didn’t even feel those 30 degrees of heat that we had, it was very comfortable to breathe. True, there were sometimes days when the humidity rose and it was stuffy. And the entrance to the sea was, for me, a bit cold. But you quickly get used to it.
Was all inclusive which in this hotel means water, coffee, teas, juices and soda unlimited. True, there was an incident with this: they came for the second time after dinner to drink juice somewhere at 22.30, although the restaurant was open until 23.00. The girl was not in the mood and aggressively began to see us off : ) explaining that supposedly you can take a drink in a restaurant only during meals (zero logic, because
outside of food, you can always take drinks on the beach and near the pool) we started to explain and ask, but she only offered to pour what we want from the master’s shoulder this time))) we naturally refused, if it’s impossible)) the chef and other waiters they stopped her, and even then they caught up with us separately and asked what we wanted, which pleased us - super customer-oriented : )
All the attendants are very kind, although it seemed to my husband that this approach is not for Russian speakers. Perhaps, but I didn't notice. Something, but the staff is very well disposed towards children, they will come up, play, talk, stroke, etc. ))
As for food in the restaurant: there is no alcohol, but there is in other hotels : ) everything is very diverse, the first couple of days there was a huge selection of everything and for every taste. Later there were days that it was like a lot of things, but you can’t really choose something from this.
There were always divine desserts, fruits (not always ripe), vegetables (I have never eaten such delicious cabbage in my life). There are some Indian dishes. For those on a plant-based diet, there are plenty to choose from too. In the morning, it is still the easiest option for eating. More varied became for lunch and dinner. You can eat outside or inside. There are highchairs for children. As such, there is no dress code.
Very strange was the lack of ice cream not for extra. fee, something the simplest one could think of.
I was pleased with the presence of shops nearby: the right staircase from the pool down and to the right immediately a store with food, toys and small essentials, it is from 10 to 22, then along the alley there is a store with marine paraphernalia, swimwear, shorts, suits, sun cream, inflatable devices: boats, armlets, mattresses, circles and more. You can also rent bikes or cycle rickshaws from them.
The stairs to the left after the pool lead to local restaurants and a couple of shops with jewelry and such. And below there is a gorgeous pier, where local fish are not averse to eating local buns from the restaurant : )
By the way, on the territory of the hotel you can order excursions from the girls to the leather and fur factory, the prices for goods are reasonable. After the tour, they take you to the nearest city to the large shopping center Manar Mall or Al Hamra Mall. It's all free. The main thing is to walk around the factory : ) you can also take a taxi to the city yourself so as not to waste time on unnecessary excursions: ) but by taxi it is about 60 dirhams. Install the Careem application for easy car search. Although there are always several taxis on the spot.
A hotel guide from a tour operator company can also organize any trips and excursions with the purchase of a ticket or just a transfer. But it is worthwhile to understand that everything will happen at an excursion pace according to a certain program.
Maybe it will be easier and more convenient for someone to rent a car and allocate time for excursions.
If you go out to the left from the main entrance you get to the playground, behind it is a football field and a volleyball field nearby, there are tennis courts. The hotel itself has a free fitness room with a minimum number of exercise equipment, there are dumbbells, fitball and a couple of tracks. The room itself is small: 30 squares. It is comfortable for 2-3 people to work there. But I didn’t see it there anymore)) inside there is a pool with a separate jacuzzi. But the entrance is only from 18 or from 16, I didn’t notice, children definitely can’t. Spa treatments, massages and cosmetic services are available for a fee. For an hour on average from $100. Upon arrival, they give a voucher for 120 dirhams, but the procedure should be from 1 hour on it.
Outside 2 pools:
Children's - 50cm deep, long with umbrella-fountain
Adult - 70 to 140cm deep
Very convenient entrances from the pool to the elevators, on different sides, with toilets nearby.
Open from 8 to sunset, like the beach.
The beach is purely for hotel guests. The buggy runs back and forth, walk a couple of minutes along the alley, but the ride is more interesting and faster : )
At the entrance you can take towels for painting. The beds are half empty. It is convenient that some of them are located near the playground. There are a couple of swings and a house on the playground.
There are showers and toilets. At the bar you can order for extra. smoothies, cocktails, salads, burgers, ice cream and more.
The sand on the beach is made of coarse sand, the entrance is comfortable, sometimes shells come across, you can find hermit crabs, starfish : ) a lot of small fish.
There is a separate fenced area for active entertainment for a fee: water trampoline, jet ski, kayaks, wakeboard, saps, flyboard! Just take a boat ride.
Vacationers are different: from Kazakhstan, India, Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. The restaurant is also frequented by locals.
The return transfer was just for us. We traveled in a minivan from the hotel.
We got there super fast, in 45 minutes. Although the drive is 80 km.
