Good afternoon everyone!
Rested in the UAE hotel RIXOS BAB AL BAHR 5 *, from April 3-10.
Vouchers were ordered at the travel agency "My Planet", tour operator - "Biblio Globus".
On departure, arrival no comments, everything went fine. The meeting at the Dubai airport was a little delayed, but they did not understand the reason, they were waiting for someone for 30 minutes. The trip to the hotel took 1 hour. 30 minutes. Our hotel RIXOS BAB AL BAHR 5 * was the penultimate one on the bus route.
The check-in went quickly enough, with the exception of the issue of a deposit (deposit), they took $ 100 from us in 7 days, I warn you right away, they will be returned in Dirhams, but they can be spent in Dutifree or exchanged at the airport.

The hotel itself, at that time, was not fully open, finishing work was carried out in the third building. Rooms: not very big, but comfortable. Large LCD TV. There is no kettle. Balcony only in Even rooms. But the lack of a balcony did not bother us. Wi-Fi, occasionally, but still present in the room.
Cleaning: cleaned normally, but not clear, then in the morning, then in the evening. Towels are changed regularly.
Canteen: the food is very tasty, but I would say not very diverse. Once every 3-4 days - a fish table. Lobsters, king crab, shrimps, mussels, etc.
Beach and sea: large sandy. Umbrellas, sun loungers, more than enough, there are always places. During our presence at the hotel, there were many jellyfish in the sea. The water is calm and clean, there was no mud, but the water temperature is about 20 degrees. On the beach there are several refrigerators with water, Pepsi, Fanta, Sprite, etc. Refrigerators are constantly replenished.
Bars: The alcohol is decent enough, but apart from the tukila, I never got to taste it. Canned Carlsberg beer, wine, whiskey, vodka, even Baileys rum is sometimes poured, although it is not included in Olinkusiv.
Mosquitoes and midges: there are a lot of these reptiles, take repellents with you, because. there was nowhere to buy, and shops on the territory of the hotel were just being built.
Well, that's all about the main thing, but of course the hotel does not yet pull for 5 *, a solid 4 can be with +.
Sincerely, Pavel P. and Elena T.
