The transfer from Dubai to Merce CLS took about 6 hours, then the boat took about 30 minutes. to the island, then a bus about 15min. to the hotel. Only about 400 km. There is only one hotel on the island, the island itself is a nature reserve.
For your money, the hotel is EXCELLENT! We were lucky with the weather, it was warm, sunny, we swam constantly, the slides were working : ). The beach is not a fountain, but the pier is in the subject.
