Рекомендую! I recommend!

We stayed at this hotel during the Catholic Christmas holidays in 2011. They were very satisfied. All at the highest level. The rooms are good. On the floor carpet. We lived on the 11th floor in a standard room. The room has: tea accessories, full minibar (alcohol for every taste and sweets), ironing board, iron, trouser press, bath accessories (robes and slippers) plus shaving, toothbrush and paste, hair dryer, gel, shampoo, milk and etc. There is also a safe. Bottled water, tea and coffee in the rooms are free. All requests were fulfilled quickly by the employees. Cleaning every day, linen did not notice when changed, it was always clean. Most of all I liked it - preparation for sleep, in the evening they spread out a bed for us, spread towels under our feet by the bed, put slippers, bottled water on the bedside tables, cards with the wishes of a sweet sleep.... Nice.... For Christmas there was a present from the hotel-sweets! They took breakfast - everything is fresh and tasty, I paid attention that there is food (dairy) for children as well. Be sure to have some soup, a good selection of fruits, the chefs are friendly, as well as all the hotel staff. Next time we will go to this hotel with a child and take meals with dinners. Yes, I especially liked the Emirati coffee!! ! Upon arrival, we were greeted by a charming girl with an orange fresh juice on a tray. And when it took 40 min. waiting for check-in to the room they brought us coffee and sweets. Very friendly Russian-speaking Vitaly and Alisher work at the reception - for all questions - to them. It is better to go to the pool and sauna by elevator (read the inscription on the elevator buttons! ) so you don’t have to wander through the reception and restaurant. The area is amazing!! ! If you want privacy - you are in the far pool, if you are interested in a bar, a warm pool, including a shallow one, for kids, then this is the nearest one. Beer 0.33 alcoholic costs 32 dirhams (multiply by 8.8). A serving of chicken legs with sauces is approximately 55-60 dirhams. As for the deposit: they took only $ 100 from us for 8 nights, while asking if we would use the minibar, tel. and inet. A: We said no. Alcohol is not sold in the city. Non-alcoholic beer in a cafe in Dubai costs about 10 dirhams. We took hotel towels for the beach. You have to take a taxi to the beach. As for taxis, Lexuses are 2-3 times more expensive than regular Camrys. No matter how short you drive, min. the fee will be in any case 10 dirhams. Metro is close. For shopping, I recommend Mall Ibn Batuta, which is the name of the Metro station. Very nice Mall, reasonable prices. The rest of the malls are expensive. Excursions were taken: Historical in Dubai (I recommend), Al Ain (I recommend), to Oman on Dhow boats, I don’t remember the name (boring), it’s just super - Atlantis Water Park (BUT !! ! - you will have to leave the island if you are not lucky with a tour operator on the local metro, which does not communicate with Dubai +15 dirhams per person, you DO NOT Catch a taxi in the evening, although it is much cheaper to go on your own - 200 dirhams per person, and in the afternoon taxis go to Atlantis !! ! ). I liked to ride a boat in Dubai "Venice", I recommend the spice market (there are very tasty tea, coffee, dates with nuts and chocolate) and a large selection of carpets (cheap), gold (expensive). You can also buy cheap souvenirs here. I recommend trying camel milk in the UAE. Regarding "how women dress in the UAE": in Dubai - as you like, on excursions outside the city (especially Sharjah) - it's better not to be naked. The subway is very cold. About the Internet in the hotel is EXPENSIVE. We found it free in the Dubai Mall - the connection next to the skating rink is good. To get an access code, you need to buy a local SIM card (with a passport), for example "DU" -55 dirhams. Good luck to everyone and have a nice holiday!! !
