I would like to share the pros and cons of this hotel, I think to do it
necessarily because it was in Dubai that it was the 15th "anniversary hotel"
PROS:
1. All-inclusive meals are fundamentally different from similar
systems in Turkey and Egypt for the better
2. The hotel is ideal for couples with children and the elderly
age (both should not be too demanding).
3. Almost everyone knows or can answer the questions asked on
Russian language
4. The remoteness of the hotel from the "city" - allows you to relax and forget about
hectic.
5. Plenty of entertainment for kids
MINUSES:
1. Remoteness from the "city" if you came not only to the beach,
Get ready to spend 30-45 minutes. one way visit
significant places in Dubai, after 1 trip you probably won’t want to
leave the hotel.
2. Disgusting beach, the water in the artificial bay is dirty, due to the lack of
water rotation, the bottom was covered with a small amount of algae similar to
mowed lawn, on one side of the bay there is construction, on the other

oil loading terminal, the hotel has its own "marina" where yachts are
and a hydro-plane which starts flying from 8 am.
3. The view from the cheapest room (overlooking the golf course) is much better
view from the room overlooking the bay due to the reason described in paragraph No. 2. If
Decided to go take it with a view of the park!
4. One and a half beds in their Russian terms are not such,
and they are single, with a height of 1.90 and a weight of 100 kg, I was
it is not very convenient to huddle on a narrow bed under a blanket 90 cm wide,
sorry, but the blankets on the planes are wider...
5. Disgusting room cleaning, it seems clean but a layer of dust on the bedside
bedside tables and in the area of ​ ​ the mini-bar and rare cleaning of the room with a vacuum cleaner (dead
the butterfly lay in the center of the room for 3 days) make themselves felt.
6. It is almost impossible to invite guests to the hotel if you are not
a permanent resident of the UAE, sorry, but there is a division of guests according to
on a national basis (friends came to us and only after
we informed the reception that our guests permanently reside in the UAE their
the car was "launched" to the hotel with an apology, and the "fairy tale" of the employees
the hotel, that there are no parking places, in restaurants and on the beach, was
forgotten! Just magic....
hotel management next - the cat sleeps the mouse dance....
Based on the foregoing, the hotel does not pull on 5 *, the best thing is
Worthy of a hotel in the UAE 3 stars! Therefore, when you are lured (hotel website,
travel agency) beautiful photos of this hotel-know you again
deceived. . .
