My husband and I visited this hotel from 14 to 23 December. In the Emirates for the first time, before that Thailand, Dominican Republic, Israel, Turkey, Egypt - everywhere they took 5 hotels. Immediately after reading the reviews on the Internet, we realized that in Dubai the location of the hotel is an important factor, because the purpose of our visit was the beach and shopping. And here we are not mistaken! The hotel is in a very advantageous location, because we wanted to walk to the beach on foot, and not adapt to the bus. Walking along a quiet street in 20 minutes you will reach the free beach. The beach has a free toilet, showers with cold and warm water, as well as a water taxi stop. You can get to the paid one only by bus (even we lovers of walking didn’t dare to walk from there) and the presence of a green park (for the Arabs this is exotic, and in the summer we have so much greenery that we were on this beach already 1 time), and the people there are many. You decide. On the free beach you can get together with a company of 10 people (fortunately everyone around is Russian-speaking) and ride a water taxi to the Parus and Atlantis hotel and take very cool pictures, and the taxi itself is just super-leather seats, air conditioning, computers in the seats, in general, this is the best excursion and the most cheap. The cost is 46 dirhams per person, if less than ten people, then more expensive. Opposite the entrance to the beach there is a Spineis supermarket, if you don’t go to the hotel for lunch, then you can buy fruits and a wide variety of food on the beach, we got 30 dirhams for two. We had breakfast at the hotel, sometimes dinner, when we left for the city in the evening we took lunch. Breakfast - a standard buffet, lunch - they give you a menu and you choose, they prepare a salad, second and dessert right in front of you - everything is very high quality, like in a premium restaurant - SUPER! The dinner buffet is very high quality, because every evening there were Thai seafood, soups - tom yum, French onion soup, Chinese with dumplings and much more, fruits - pineapple, lychee, dragon's eye, mangosteen, apples, grapes, plums. In total, there is enough for everyone but kilometer-long tables (as in Turkey and the Dominican Republic) you will not find there from the fact that everything was delicious, and most importantly, of high quality! The service is excellent, I will not stop there. The only caveat - when we handed over the room, we were presented with a bill for the phone in the room - we know for sure that we did not call, which they said at the reception and did not pay anything. Near the hotel itself, or rather from the rear of the hotel, the cheapest Spineis supermarket, go behind the hotel and go 70 meters - there will be a supermarket, and behind it there is a local shop where there are Indian cosmetics HIMALAYA and DABUR at ridiculous prices. We found the Internet along the street leading to the colored fountains to the left of the hotel and directly opposite the fountains Teza eatery. We didn’t dare to eat there, we took a cola, but the Internet is super there! For registering on the Wi-fi network in Dubai Mall, 5 dollars were withdrawn from the phone account, and it’s very problematic to connect. About a taxi from Dubai Mall, if you take it right at the entrance to Dubai Mall, then the taxi driver will need to get to the junction in the direction of the hotel and you will pay 28 dirhams to the hotel, and if you go down from the central entrance to the road, cross it, then pay - 14 dirhams. Taxi to Karama Market AED 13 from the hotel. Restaurants that you liked near the hotel are in the first place - Beirut, everything is tasty and satisfying!! ! In second place, Baskin Robins - lived - would be there! Well, on the third Golden Fork - not expensive, but I am very picky about cleanliness. But we didn't get poisoned. In Dubai they say - eat for two in a Chinese restaurant - 30 dollars. Drink coffee with delicious cakes in front of the aquarium 25 dollars for two. The hotel is recommended for both young people and couples with children.
