Мне понравился отдых - хочу опять! I liked the rest - I want again!

I liked the hotel, everything is fine, except for two remarks: I rated 8 - 1 point, I took off for the first horror movie - delivery to the beach. This is a disaster: the buses are small, crowded, no one observes the queue, we came first several times, but it didn’t help - they climb over our heads, pushing them with our elbows... I was shy for the first couple of days, I didn’t push, and I had to wait 40 minutes for the next bus. By the way, the first one left at about 10.20 (if you climb into it, you manage to take a place “under the fungus” on the beach), the second at about 11.00 (a few palm trees remain free on the beach for shade), the third at 11.40 (no more mushrooms, no there are no palm trees left and you have to roast in the sun). I deducted another 1 point for the elevator - but there is no way to fix it, 2 elevators live their own lives, we waited 4 times for 10 minutes, and although my husband explained to me the principle of operation, this did not speed up his arrival. In the end, I started running up the stairs - faster, and the nerves are intact, and it’s good for the figure : ))) But everything is fine: the hotel is beautiful, the rooms can be said to be huge, the beds are also rather big, it’s very comfortable to sleep. They found one Russian channel on TV, but they didn’t watch TV at all - there was no time. They feed well, at the same time I looked, if I had something to feed preschool children - it would be. But few tables. True, there were always places for dinner - around 10 pm we came for dinner, but in the morning we sometimes had to wait, but not for long. Cleaning and change of towels every day. Hairdryer, shampoo, shower gel, soap, it's all there. For those who want to smoke - all floors, except for 5 and 6, are smoking. The room has an ashtray and my husband quietly smoked right in the room (we lived on the 7th floor). People also smoked at the entrance to the hotel, there is a special urn there. Upon check-in, they took a deposit of $200, they were stapled to the receipt, and when they left, they gave banknotes with paper clip holes. . . They said there was a swimming pool upstairs, but we didn’t get to it))) But people said that it was beautiful and the view from there was wonderful.
In general, I liked the rest, but next time we will go directly to Dubai, because there is not much to see in Sharjah, and in Dubai all the most beautiful and famous sights. There is a metro in Dubai and you don’t have to spend money on a taxi - for example, a taxi from a hotel to Deira City Center costs about 50 dirhams (a hotel bus also takes you there at 11 am and picks up at 15.00). But 20 dirhams (1 dollar = 3.66 dirhams) of this cost is for nothing, just when crossing the emirate, 5.5 dollars are added. About the metro: for the whole day the card costs 16 dirhams, but you can pay for the number of stations (minimum - 3-4 dirhams), there is an info-aunt in English (by the way, everyone knows English, from taxi drivers and sellers to comrades who clean in rooms). There is also a bus from Dubai to the hotel, it travels from Nasser Square (the market that has "everything") to the City Center in Sharjah, which is not far from the hotel. 7 dirhams per person. Two-storied. If we didn’t know where to go, we asked the taxi drivers - they all answered in great detail, free of charge and politely.
The Emirates is a wonderful country, especially considering that about 40 years ago they did not know what shoes were and there was only one well in the whole of Dubai... Now everything looks cool: skyscrapers everywhere, and separately the Burj Khalifa, and the subway without drivers, and the coolest dancing fountains in the world, and a shopping center with a huge aquarium. We will go there again, at least, for sure - there is still a lot of unknown, for example, we did not climb to the top of the Burj Khalifa and did not go to Abu Dhabi))) Have a nice vacation!! !
