идеалов не бывает there are no ideals

Hotels are bad, good and very good, because there are no ideals, you can always find flaws if you want.
Arrived from Rotana yesterday, sharing my impressions.
But, first of all, I would like to address those who will fly from the Boryspil airport with Fly Dubai. If you don’t want to arrive at the airport three hours in advance, there is an opportunity to buy seats in advance through your agency, they are available for: $ 28, first row, $ 6.3 and $ 1.5 (by distance, respectively), we bought there and back and did not worry about the seats. This is especially true when flying to Kyiv, check-in in Dubai is not for one flight, but a queue for many flights at once, we stood for an hour, there were almost no seats (to sit together with the family). Further, remember that the economy class board, they feed - drink for money, we took cheesecakes, cookies, bananas with us), because on board fast food from 22 UAH to 43, but it is better to buy water not at the airport (28 UAH for 0.5 Morshynska), but in the cabin for 10 UAH

Now specifically about the hotel.
Everything said is personal opinion. The hotel is very good, that's a fact. This is the Rotana chain, which has quality hotels in many countries around the world. The hotel is significantly different from the "colleagues" architecture, amazing area, really very large. But still, it should be noted that many view rooms overlook the walls of other rooms (the rooms are like houses, and you may not have a view in front of you, but a wall) we even saw a semi-basement room))) we lived in a deluxe pool and sea view No. 4014 , under us number 3018, these rooms with amazing views, also premium rooms guarantee a view, classic rooms, do not guarantee anything, keep in mind. Inside all the rooms are the same - the price is only for the view. There are also villas, but these are really expensive, and they are 2-3 floors, not for one family.
Cleaning is my biggest complaint, but this applies only to our room, as I understand it, the guy cleaned up badly, it happened that we would come to the beach at 2 o'clock - it was not cleaned, I had to call the reception several times to ask to be cleaned, but, I repeat - an isolated case, There are a lot of staff and they all try their best.
The beach is excellent, large, there were not many people, there were a lot of places. The ebbs and flows were more fun, because I had never seen anything like this)) in the morning the water was under the stairs, and in the afternoon, like in the movie "The Diamond Arm", when the boy was walking along the sea)) the water was seven meters from the shore and shallow, almost up to Iran))) But, it’s true, it’s a flavor, it’s a highlight, and this is also a must see) The water is amazing, warming, and clean, but I was afraid of stingrays, and I saw them a couple of times (small ones), but the water is clear and you just go and look , they were only active at 8-9 in the morning, then they sailed away, they are still afraid of human activity. A big turtle swam a couple of times, the whole beach admired, but that's all, there was no more exotic. I swam a lot and for a long time, very cool)

Food - well. . normal food, on Fridays dinner, of course, festive, from crabs to....whatever you want. And so - you won’t be hungry for sure, but I wouldn’t write about the best cuisine, all the same, variety can be even better, especially for breakfast. This is if you find fault, the cooks are actually trying, the food is of high quality.
There is a small room for children, but this is a kind of playroom, we did not find any slides or swings, but it was very hot and we would not ride on the street anyway. The pool for children is closed for repairs, they only allow children to bathe in one (adult), but the water there, unlike the other pool, is colder, but you can only do this and not otherwise, they won’t let kids into the other, the argument is more depth. But, we came to the sea, and not to the pool, so we didn’t bother, this is for those who are counting on a children’s pool, which does not exist. On the territory, if you are too lazy to walk at any point, they will call a car and take you anywhere, even for two meters) "Dubai Mall" is an excellent place, from shopping to fountains and an aquarium - everything is in one place, we went by taxi 500 dirhams there and back - this $ 136, we agreed with another family and took a taxi together - 4 adults and two children (discuss this with the taxi driver in advance so that it’s not according to the meter, but by agreement) We just really wanted to see the fountains, and the bus leaves the hotel at 10:30 , and back at 18:00, you will not see fountains, the price is $ 27 per person (back and forth)
I will say right away in Ras El Khaimah in the "Monar Mall" there is a store with small appliances, there are iPhones, tablets cheaper than in Dubai Mall, who cares. You can buy alcohol at the Ben Magic Hotel, from the back of the door, all taxi drivers know it is near Rotana, tell the drink shop)) For beer lovers - at the Carlsberg and Astel hotel - $ 10, and in the drink shop) $ 1, Martini in the store $ 10. When you arrive, there will immediately be a small pour fries - if you want, buy drinks right there. Also, do not run for water (at the gas station - 100 m from the hotel) In the morning they put about 5 per person + 1.5 for dinner for free, they give water in the fitness room, in general, there is enough water.
Well, everything seems to be, if you have any questions, write, while I remember all the nuances. And the hotel is cool and status, in the evening such cars come to the reception that the eyes are just happy - people come to dine (to the Basilik restaurant, it's like a la carte)
