Hotel ratings by criteria:
We chose this hotel by chance, as there were no free arrivals at another hotel for the time we required - and we were not disappointed. The hotel is the best value for money. The rooms are excellent, spacious, equipped with everything you need (a shower room with a washbasin and a separate bathroom and toilet, an ironing board and iron, a kettle and coffee utensils (replenished every day, sometimes several times)).
The service is also up to the mark. Heated rooftop pool. There is a delivery to Palma (according to the schedule, you need to mark your time at a separate counter near the entrance). We had a case where there were more outgoing tourists than seats in the bus leaving Palma (our undisciplined tourists decided to leave sooner or later). The hotel sent an additional bus, but we had to wait about 15-20 minutes.
There is a Russian-speaking employee at the reception desk.
The food is not particularly varied, but you won't go hungry. Alcohol is expensive.

Upon arrival, you will have to leave a deposit - I don’t remember how much, but this deposit can then be credited towards payment of bills from the bar (and there are many bars in the hotel. You order drinks there and say "bill for such and such a room").
If you order a safari on jeeps, specify the landing place in advance - because. the hotel will be the last one on the car route (if you don’t book all the seats in the car) and it may turn out that you are sitting in very uncomfortable places (you must go on a safari - you won’t feel such sensations anywhere).
Of the amenities of the hotel, it is also worth noting the proximity of the shopping center - Ibn Batuta - one of the largest shopping centers in Dubai. Also, if you do not take full board or "AII", then you can eat in the shopping center - there is a whole food court of more than 20 fast food restaurants.
Metro is nearby. Exit the hotel and go through the shopping center to the subway. The fare is not high (I do not remember what). But if you go by taxi, then the price from Dubai Mall will be about 40 dollars. (all on the counter).
As for clothes - as it seemed to us - there are no special problems (they can look sideways, but no one will say anything).
As for a taxi - if you can't catch a taxi, then the "rooks" stop - you can negotiate with them for a reasonable price.
