If you are considering this hotel for a holiday, then you want to relax without a break on a good beach. Since there is nothing around the hotel, there is nowhere to leave the hotel. Besides a gas station 10 minutes walk. There is absolutely nothing to do in the hotel in the evening, so dinner starts at 19:00 and ends at 23:00, people come at 18:30 take good places on the street and sit until closing, because there is nothing else to do or watch TV in the room ( 1 Russian channel).
It took exactly 1 hour from Dubai airport to the hotel.
I repeat this is a beach hotel (600 meters of its own beach), so first of all briefly about the beach. The entire hotel is built artificially on the principle of an embankment in the sea, entry into the sea along the CONCRETE STEPS, which are overgrown with shells at the bottom. The sea is constantly changing 5 days storm - yellow flag, 5 days low tide - the sea is knee-deep.
It is not possible to swim with children in a storm. It is worth noting that even swimming slippers will not save you from injuries, because when you get out of the water on the steps, the waves hit your back very hard, more than half of the hotel went with broken knees, legs, feet. By the way, rescuers immediately provide assistance, bandage, smear, etc. , then they will definitely ask for the room number. We had the type of food AL, this medical care was not included in our bill, but I don’t know if it was free or not. When the sea is stormy there, the water clogs, as much as the steps.
The second danger in the beach is when the tide is out. The beach is gorgeous, the water leaves, a huge strip of sand appears and at the same moment a shallow looms in the n-th cloud of kilometers to swim, you go, you go, you go and all the time knee-deep, sad because the water in September is like fresh milk - +28 degrees . The next danger is where sea stingrays are knee-deep, and apart from jokes there are not 1-2 of them, but where about 10 swim, they are very large and poisonous in size. Where they give out towels in all languages with pictures, there are warnings that they swim everywhere here and what to do if he stung you. It is worth noting that before our eyes people were stung more than once, both an English grandmother and a young man. The fact is that the color of these stingrays is like that of sand and practically when you walk you can’t see them, and God forbid you catch it or even worse step on it, the stingray has a tail 30-40 cm long, it hits you right under the knee with this tail. Again, I repeat, swimming slippers will not save !! ! In general, I won’t tell all the passions about him who dare to go, read on the Internet what a stingray (stingray) is.
When the tide is out, the sea is knee-deep and even where it is deep it is completely dotted with starfish. By the way, they are alive and prickly, that is, without swimming slippers it is very, very not pleasant to walk in the water !!!
There are very few sun loungers on the beach strip of 600 meters! Although the place allows, in the second half it is problematic to find an empty seat, as well as to get a towel. A lot of tourists cursed how so where are the sun loungers, but unfortunately they don’t even have some kind of spare to put.
If you have AL food, then the bar on the beach is free - ONLY drinks according to the list.
It is worth noting that the mini-bar in the room is paid! Therefore, people took from the beach and carried to the room.
Wi-Fi is paid everywhere. At what it is very expensive, 30 minutes - 7 dollars. The speed is terrible.
Nutrition. It is very strange that we never considered ourselves picky eaters, however, with this unfortunate plate, we walked 3 and 4 circles around, because there was really nothing tasty to take. We didn't like it very much. For 10 days, it was 3 times that they fried shrimp and fish on the street, served lobsters and oysters. True, they had a very big Muslim holiday Eid al-Fitr which lasts 3 days, so I won’t say in the rest of the week they also feed like that or not. There was a Mexican evening - when it was not possible to eat, everything was in chile. Constantly gave sushi and a lot of Indian-Thai food. Soups - a solid soup of mashed broccoli, carrots, tomatoes, potatoes - and all this powder, from instant bags. Desserts in such small spread out plastic plates and cups, a portion of 2 cm by 2 cm (for one bite), desserts did not change at all in 10 days.
In general, for the entire period of travel, for the first time, we saw that salads and desserts would be packaged like this in plastic small, very small plates - this is so that they would not eat a lot; ) Moreover, they are not disposable !! ! Well, in other matters, okay, because it is not tasty.
The rooms are cleaned only by men, in other respects, as a conclusion, they cleaned - bad!
It is possible to move around the territory only by electric cars, we lived in the HOTEL building on level 6, there are only about 12 of them, once we went to the beach on foot, it takes about 15 minutes down and 20 minutes back, because you need to go under a huge mountain. Therefore, all the remaining 9 days cannot be dispensed with without electric cars.
Speaking of entertainment, they had such parties on the beach with DJs several times a week, we went once and realized that it was very in vain. There were no people there at all, a couple of Muslim men were sitting smoking pipes and that was the whole party. By the way, for some of them there is also an entrance fee!
The pools are beautiful, but the pool is very hot, even though the wind blows from the sea on the beach, and the pool is completely calm. And the water in the sea is 1000 times better than in the pool, and most importantly warmer : )
Honestly, the hotel is beautiful, very colorful, in the style of a village-village for a lot of money - it's not worth it. We were in the UAE 3 times, and were not satisfied!
