Rested with my husband in the above hotel. Upon arrival at Dubai airport at 23:00, there were no problems. although I was very afraid. that they won't miss. after all, just a month ago, I was vacationing in Israel with a child. Representatives of "Natalie" met and very quickly sent to the hotel. The hotel has Russian-speaking staff at the reception. Immediately they began to offer to move us to a super room for everything (and of course only for us) for $ 400. As an experienced tourist, I said - we will spend the night. let's see where you settled us and, if necessary, decide whether we need it. Regarding the deposit: they asked for $300. I said. that I will leave only $100. because I do not plan to buy anything at the hotel. even water. And where should I put their dirhams then? On duty free, I'll perfectly pay for everything in dollars. That's what they decided on. They took us to the room. I must say very decent and clean. In the morning we went to explore the territory and understood. that even if we were settled in the farthest villa. then walk very close to the sea. In general, I liked the fact that the "sleeping" part (villas) is on one side - and the restaurants and pools are on the other. i. e. who needs it - sleep in silence, and who needs it - walk until the morning. Next was breakfast. which threw me into a stupor. POVERTY. Moreover, when in front of my eyes the cook opened a box similar to our pack of milk and poured out a ready-made omelette, I was shocked. I've never seen anything like this!! ! After that, she ate only fried eggs. Fortunately, their eggs are not from packages. Lunch was also beggarly, but two days later (and later every two days) we came. and there is nothing at all. We were offered a menu-order in which you could choose: water. meat or chicken with what they will give (rice / potatoes). salad. cake. Here is such a low-budget business lunch. In our city, this costs 100 rubles. Little of. and wait at least 40 minutes. Went to reception and asked. what does this mean and why did they sell us a tour with dinners. arrived. and at the hotel they were silently exchanged for dinners. We don't mind lunches. for us it is very convenient. in view of that. that we went daily to shopping malls. BUT not the same! We received an answer - today the concept of the hotel is as follows. And so they answered all the newly arrived tourists. The hotel's own beach. the sand is very fine. water is extraordinary. clean and warm. Beach. when we arrived it was 1.5 wide sun beds. but then a boat appeared in the sea. who washed up sand in three nights. it was leveled and the beach became wide. even and clean. So if you want to go to this hotel, don't do it in the off season. Most of the staff are on vacation. because there are few tourists. there is no one to cook because the hotel is almost empty. Yes, and from mid-September they begin to prepare the hotel for the new season: everyone is painting. clean. nailed. even the beach was washed. And take only breakfast. With "eating" there is no problem. you will just choose. whatever you want. and money for incomprehensible dinners will not be lost. I tried very hard to give an objective assessment of this hotel. Friends ask us - will you go to this hotel again? let's go, but take into account all of the above.
