Great, wonderful stay in a wonderful hotel. I am very glad that I was not mistaken.
ACCOMMODATIONS:
for any wallet. Cove Rotana, for everyone to understand, is a huge complex of two-story structures located on the first line from the Persian Gulf. The feeling is that you are in an Asian town. Everything is clean and tidy, you can move around on foot or, if you wish, you will be delivered to any point in a free taxi-electric car. We stayed in a standard room, which is one Asian-style air-conditioned room with a domed ceiling. Thanks to the thick walls, the room does not get stuffy or even hot. You can sit in the evening with a cup of tea by going out to the terrace, or your own mini pool if you book a suite. Pretty green. Lots of plants, grass, trees, flowers.

Towels and bed linen are changed daily in the room, gels, soaps and shampoos are replenished daily. Also in the room there is a free safe, a refrigerator, a good TV with one Russian and 70 foreign channels, a kettle and an iron. Mini-bar is paid (except for coffee, tea and water).
FOOD:
The cuisine is very rich. Mineral water Perrier. Fresh vegetables and fruits, several types of perfectly cooked fish, as well as shrimps, mussels, crabs will appeal to any gourmet. In addition, many delicious meat and vegetable dishes from Indian, African, Asian and European cuisine, Japanese dishes: sushi, sashimi, as well as cheeses, various snacks and more will not let you lose weight. Alcohol is available, but paid and expensive.
BATHING, ENTERTAINMENT
The place, frankly, is not for a beach holiday. The strongest ebb, many rays, jellyfish. I did not like. Although the children will be where to splash. After low tides, there are pits with warm sea water. To compensate for this misunderstanding, the hotel has three swimming pools, one of which is heated and one for children. The pools are clean and there are plenty of places to hang out.
Thank God (and I was looking for this very much) there are no animators and other amateur crap. Peace and quiet in the evenings. You can walk and enjoy the fresh air and the smell of flowers and trees. For parents, there is a children's room where they can give their kids. Actually, I didn't go there. Those wishing to have a drink and a snack can use the services of bars (several by the pool, one in the administration building) or a restaurant with Mediterranean cuisine. Be prepared for liquor prices. They are sky-high (for example, two glasses of beer 0.5 and a plate of french fries 20 dollars). At the same time, alcohol is not sold in shops / supermarkets / gas stations nearby or in the city. Even beer. I think that if you want, of course you can find it, but you need to specially go and look for it.
EXCURSIONS:

Well, it's everyone's choice. Offered by the travel agency seemed expensive to me. For example, a sightseeing tour in Dubai costs from 100 to 150 US dollars (depending on whether you visit the Burj Khalifa tower or not). The price includes travel and meals. We went there on our own. It turned out to be $ 150 for two, including travel, food, a visit to the aquarium in the Dubai Mall, the zoo of marine animals, the Dubai City Museum, a trip to the Palm Jumeirah (with travel by monorail metro), a boat ride on the bay... And I think, that, if desired, they could save even more, although in general the UAE seemed to be a very expensive country.
