We rested in Dubai with my husband and a 4-year-old child in early August this year. Initially, they were going to fly to Goa in autumn, but plans would change dramatically, besides, my husband and child had birthdays for 2 days in a row, I wanted something unusual, so we bought tours to Dubai for 11 days.
We rested at the Amwaj Rotana - Jumeirah Beach Residence 5 *, just in the Dubai Marina area. We have been very lucky with ticket prices, at least 3 factors:
1. due to the heat, prices in the UAE are lower than in the season
2. in some hotels, including ours, there was a promotion, children are free, we paid only for the child's flight
3. we took breakfasts and dinners, but paid only for one breakfast.
That is, the price turned out to be more than good, especially considering the unearthly prices for Turkey and Europe.
Upon check-in, we made a deposit of 200 USD. e. , the manager asked for 300 c. u. e. , but I said that we are not going to use the minibar. By the way, it is very convenient when you leave a deposit at the hotel, then there is extra money for a dutik)))
We took breakfasts and dinners, dinners could be changed for lunches. We did just that, dined at the restaurant in the hotel, and dined in the city. It turned out to be very convenient, because we were in Ramadan, and all cafes and restaurants were closed until 7 pm, even in malls, that is, there was practically nothing to eat.
I chose the hotel for a long time, I read a bunch of different reviews. I wanted to live in Dubai, and not in other emirates, the Jumeirah area was also chosen on purpose, because I wanted to combine a beach holiday and shopping, in autumn I didn’t want the hotel to be far from the sea and be tied to transfers from the hotel to the beach. The advantage of this hotel is that it has access to a public beach (I want to say that few hotels in Dubai have their own beaches, I mean those beaches that are adjacent to the hotel building itself, mostly free transfers to the beach are carried out from the hotel and back).
The distance is minimal, from the pool to the beach go a maximum of 5 minutes, of which 2 floors are by elevator.
Due to the fact that the beach is not a hotel, it is not equipped, there are no sunbeds, umbrellas. We knew about this in advance, so it didn’t upset us at all, we were going to buy a beach umbrella and save ourselves from the sun with it, but we didn’t buy it. We were on the beach until 11 am, it was absolutely normal, I can’t say that it was very hot. You get used to the heat literally in 1-2 days. Humidity, of course, is very high, in Egypt, what kind of heat is perceived much easier, since the climate there is dry. But I repeat once again, the heat did not spoil our holiday. During our stay, the air temperature was mostly 44-46 degrees, in the sea 33 degrees, in the pool 28 degrees.
I want to note right away that construction is going on almost everywhere in Dubai, the Dubai Marina area is one of the relatively young ones, 2 new monorail branches are being built here, skyscrapers are being built, but everything is done almost silently.
View from the balcony from the pools: for children and adults and a pool bar. The children's pool is covered with a tent, which is very convenient in the heat, this was one of the key factors when I chose the hotel.
The adult pool always had free sunbeds, there was always enough space.
I really liked the fact that lifeguards were constantly on duty near the children's and adult pools, for them there were special high chairs under the canopies. Repeatedly observed Katrina, when the children stumbled from the children's pool, the lifeguard reacted faster than their mothers. In this sense, great respect for the organization of work in the hotel. Sometimes the rescuers could even play ball with the children a little, a trifle, but very nice.
By the way, all the hotel rooms have a view of the Persian Gulf and Palma. I can't remember this in any other hotel.
They checked us into the hotel literally in 5 minutes, we flew to Dubai around 19.40 local time, surprisingly quickly passed all the necessary procedures at the airport, even the retinal scan was without a queue, and we were taken to the hotels in a small minibus. From our plane we were the only ones going to our hotel, 2 more families were going to the hotel next to Parus. The sail at night didn’t impress us, it’s completely dark, it doesn’t glow at all, maybe it doesn’t work temporarily, of course, though this is hardly of course. So it turns out that our transfer was almost individual, we got to the hotel in about 40-50 minutes.
After we crossed the threshold of the hotel, our bags were taken away from us, they were delivered to the room without us, it was very nice, because usually, in addition to suitcases, there are also dutik bags, and it’s hard to drag everything.
Dinner at the hotel was until 10.
30 pm, so we went up to the room and went down to the restaurant. Unlike all the hotels where we used to rest, and we rested a lot, I can say that it was not a "Turkish" dining room with crowds of people who had 5 side dishes, 5 types of meat in their plates, mountains of salads and sweets, namely restaurant. At the entrance, one waiter greets us and escorts us to the table, the second waiter asks what drinks we are interested in, the third brings these drinks, the fourth cleans .....
The restaurant hall was at least 5 times smaller than the usual size, but we never saw crowds and crowds, everyone always had separate tables, sometimes even with sofas.
We were very pleased with the menu, there is no huge amount of unnecessary food, salads that no one ever eats. Just right and very tasty. I was amazed that everyone had oysters, king prawns, salted and baked red fish.
Very good juices, not fresh, but not diluted with water, they were printed from bottles in front of us. Much tastier than ours. For breakfast, free drinks included the following juices: orange, grapefruit, watermelon, tomato, apple, peach. For a fee, you could order fresh juices, they were made literally in 3-4 minutes. For breakfast, the chef from Uzbekistan, Nadezhda, made an amazing omelet. I was very pleased with the choice of cheese that was for breakfast and dinner: brie, ermental, cheddar, parmesan. Delicious cold cuts, can not be compared with those cheeses and colas that we tried in other countries. Lunch was delicious pasta and spaghetti with a variety of sauces. very tasty bread.
In general, you can’t list all the food and variety. So the hotel food is a solid 5.
Standard room very nice and spacious
They cleaned the room 2 times a day, for the first time in my life I saw that the room was prepared for bed! ! ! !
I just didn't have the strength.
