Let's start... We flew to Sharjah (and thank God I tell you, ), quickly passed all the controls, the meeting party was Royal Park, gave us a flower, stuck stickers on our chests with their logos and seated us on buses. And now we are going to Dubai (at the airport they wanted to take a taxi to our hotel for $ 40, because on the last trip to the Dominican Republic they did exactly that and did not regret it, but the guys dissuaded me and we went with everyone. it gets dark at 7) and here we arrive at the hotel! One of the few pluses of this hotel is its really new interior and 5-6 people security, porters of things, a separate person opens and closes the doors, hails a taxi for you, and always opens and closes doors in the car. Then we were invited to enter and we were glad that we had chosen this hotel, a beautiful huge hall is conditionally divided into three parts, with huge beautiful pots for plants and the same plants, comfortable new furniture, comfortably placed between these plants... such a feeling that you are sitting in the garden, at the reception desk and everywhere around the hotel there are beautifully decorated bouquets with fresh flowers... on this + so far it has ended and begun... I go to the reception, there are always 2 employees, one of them outwardly sti and our Russian-speaking girl, I tell her that we want a 3-4 floor without a view of the neighboring construction site and a wasteland + ekstabed. there were three of us. . . and 3 Japanese women came up to me next to me, she asked me to sit down and wait and began to deal with them, there was already a residue. . . looked in our direction, I go up to him, and in English, with more or less spoken English, I say that we are tired, that we would like to check in, that I (thanks to TURPRAVDA) know that they have a pool until 22.00, but I would like swim after the flight, he said yes, now I'll have a look and left!! ! I WAS SHOCKED!! ! Then a Russian girl, she realized that there would be a scandal, quickly gave the keys to the Japanese women and with a forced smile asked for passports and a voucher for the hotel, I gave her everything, telling her preferences again, and she started looking for a room....and then I hear the Arab comes back and talking to her in English, she says give them the number 104 she told him and so quickly it's not that....in general, I intervene, tell him our wishes, and he tells me: "Sorry ma'am, but on the 3rd and 4th floors there is only a suite "!!! ! And then I was completely stunned, this miserable Arab girl did not know that I knew that the hotel did not have specific floors for specific rooms, that I had read reviews that indicated that people moved to 3-4 floors in ordinary rooms, it already happened 9 hours and did not want to argue! Here our compatriot, suddenly remembers that she can speak Russian, gives us number 211 and says, this is a good room, with a good view. CONCLUSION №1 - in this hotel Russians are treated worse than the rest!!!!
We settled in a room, very spacious, with good furniture, a large marble bathroom, there was already a 3 bed, but everything in the room was for 2.2 water, 2 shampoos, 2 air conditioners, etc. Although at the reception, we were asked for 5-10 minutes to prepare the room. And it has always been like this, either they didn’t deliver a certain amount of something, or they forgot at all!
Breakfasts! For 3+, and only because of the delicious buns, and so all 11 days are the same, one to one! Tired already for 4 days!
PEOPLE!! ! Excursions at the hotel, and in general, do not take it into your head to take Royal Park! Our terrible guide wanted to give us a Safari for 80 dollars with a discount of 70 and "ONLY FOR YOU" - TIN, everywhere this tour is 50 USD - a maximum of 55 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After that, I began to ask about Jumeirah Beach Park, about Al Mamzar, - she told me, - and you were already here, (in a different voice)... in general, a complete swindler!
More about the pool and free spa "Health club"!! ! The pool itself is 1.20 with my height 1.78 - it was what we needed, the pool is beautiful, not small, beautiful view, greenery around the perimeter, towels are given to the beach in exchange for a key, this floor is PD in the elevator. That's all of the pluses. The pool bar is headed by some perpetually dissatisfied Filipina, and the price for any tasteless cocktail is 40 dirhams, she always told us 45, and when we indicated the price to her on the menu, again this treacherous "OK, no problem" !! ! After that, she gave us towels by the pool only upon request, although when you come in they should lie like that! Few swim in the pool! Everything, like seals, lies indestructibly on the sunbeds! And yes, the health club is a common cold tiny jacuzzi and the same steam room.
On excursions: we took the Caliph, through the Internet, safari, Abu Dhabi with the Sheikh Zayed Mosque, Atlantis Water Park, were on fantans, Dubai Mall, Deira City, Jumeirah Beach Park, Al Mamzar Park (everyone praises the first, but the three of us liked Al Much more!!!
Dubai!!!! ! it’s just that our people are lazy, where closer they fell !! ! And the vaunted Jumeirah is beautiful only at the entrance, towels, sun loungers, umbrellas - everything is for a fee, there are no changing rooms, and Al Mamzare straw umbrellas, just don’t be lazy, don’t fall on the first beaches, go to the very end, that’s where the beauty is! ) Marina Yah Club , this is something, we stayed there in all the cafes, in all the hookahs!! ! Even at Marina Beach (near the Hilton) the most beautiful and clear water! She's really blue!
And in conclusion, I want to say that we didn’t sit still there for a single day, we walked so much on foot that, eating tightly 2-3 times with snacks, we lost weight! We went everywhere by taxi, 2 times swept in the subway! Who will be interested in prices, write, I will answer. We paid 2690 + 3000 for three together with visas - we spent it there! But the hotel is not worth the money at the same price is worth +_ Ramada Plaza in the Marina, so sorry it's Marina! It's much tougher there! I can’t recommend it 100%, look, at this price there is much more worthy! Personally, we are in this hotel no more!
The room is fresh, bed linen changed every day, cleaned in 30 minutes during breakfast, bathrobe, slippers, bath accessories - shampoo, gel, conditioner, soap, body cream. WI-FI worked right in the room, a voucher at the reception must be taken every day (for 1 hour for free). The hotel did not take a deposit. I recommend the hotel
Excursion No. 1. Jeep safari. The tour itself is good, Toyota Land Cruiser 200, through the desert at speed, but I do not recommend it for the elderly and with children. Although Mustafa is silent about this. Extreme is good. After dinner with the Bedouins and dancing. The dancer was so "wooden" that everyone immediately said that on any TV show girls dance a thousand times better. Dinner is worse and you can't imagine))). But the jeep ride overshadows everything.
Excursion No. 2. A trip to the Indian Ocean. And this is where the deception begins. No one will show you the ocean. 3 hours drive and they bring you to the hotel, well I would give it 2 stars maximum, they feed you suck food and go to the beach for 3.5 hours, then 3 hours back. And in the end, a 6-hour drive to see the Gulf of Oman))) And where is the promised ocean)) somewhere further. Besides that, it was more interesting. We agree with Mustafa. He says the tour is 300 dirkhans, i. e. 81 USD. There are four of us and accordingly we have to pay 324 dollars. In the morning we are waiting for a bus with us 4 more people from the hotel for the same excursion, they only ordered from the tour operator Irina. We got on the bus and then the circus begins, the guide Sergey says, number 424 is 280 dollars from you, some from Mustafa 450 dollars. And he himself is surprised, he says this tour costs $ 70 per person. We begin to find out why it’s not even 280 from us, and not as agreed with Mustafa 326. We won’t beg Sergey, I won’t pay extra for you and deal with him yourself. During this time, we have collected a full bus, which, by the way, is suitable for transporting only Pakistanis and Filipinos, but not for a 6-hour drive, Sergey says, either we pay, or we take a taxi and return to the hotel. Or this phrase: pay 450 and deal with Mustafa later. In a leaflet from the company, he actually says 450 dirkhans from us. No one tolerated such rudeness and we stopped the bus ourselves. Many thanks to all the tourists who also supported us. Mustafa did not pick up the phone, a conversation with Sergey's management gave its own and we paid 280. Upon returning to the hotel, Comrade Mustafa was immediately caught, who colorfully told tourists about the delights of excursions. They tried to get something from him for negative emotions and a spoiled impression, but then he immediately became dumber than a donkey and could not understand anything in Russian. And then he says, so you paid or not)))) I will say this, this vile type Mustafa and never order excursions from him. Book directly with the tour operator. He is deceiving and most importantly: HE NEVER WAS ON ANY EXCURSION WHICH RECOMMENDS!! ! Paradox!! ! What can he recommend?
Shopping in Deira. I don’t want to offend anyone, but in the markets of the city the products are of the same quality as there, respectively, and the prices there are lower than in the Dubai Mall or the Emirate Mall. In general, those who go to Dubai for shopping, I will disappoint you, in Milan the prices are an order of magnitude lower, even with the current festival of discounts in Dubai.
Then we go about the hotel, we immediately settled in room 112, which is essentially the 3rd floor. The room is clean, beautiful, water, tea and coffee are free every day in the room, but terribly smoky and a view of the wall of the neighboring building. At 10 am moved on demand and asked for the last 4th floor. Thank you Gulmira respected and gave numbers 430 and 434. The view from the window is gorgeous on Burj Khali and skyscrapers. So the council settles only on the 4th floor. new furniture and furnishings have not been killed yet, which pleases. The location would not be called excellent, the area itself is called by the locals Pakistan, because the entire working public lives there. Beach next to the port or ship repair, did not figure it out. There is a permanent transfer hotel-beaches-malls. The pool, as always, is packed with Russian tourists, who don’t care about their sunbeds))) The hotel does not have its own territory, this can be said to be a city hotel and far from the sea. Somewhere 1.5 km. WI FI hour a day is free, the rest is expensive. And the hour expires as you entered the password exactly one hour later, and whether or not you work in it makes no difference. Room cleaning is good. Breakfast is boring, staff is lazy. Every morning there were queues at the entrance, and most importantly, I realized what the waiters were creating. there are 10 people in line, that is, 5 couples, and there are 8 free tables. They just haven’t been removed and are removed “from under the stick”))) From the hotel to the Dubai mall and fountains about 20 dirhams, to the palm tree 70, to the Emirate mall 54, to Deira 14. Everywhere in the taxi counters, so no one will deceive. Fur coats! Fur coats really are. but the locals say a lot of cheating in quality. We bought 2 fur coats in the MOSINO store, I won’t write so many reviews about him on the Internet, the owner Nicholas himself is Greek, such a sincere person that we couldn’t leave him without a fur coat. Well, it looks like he wrote a lot. And so the conclusion. Dubai is beautiful, but in Ramada Jumeirah, I don't have a foot more. Weak level for an emirates hotel. Look for others.
And yet, before I forget, the hotel has an Asian restaurant. They bring the menu to the iPad, they ordered it, they come with a leaf, they say it’s not teena, they ordered the same thing with the second pair from the pictures, they bring different things for everyone, there is no red caviar on the rolls, just rice and crab stick, tasteless and ugly. Appeals to the staff did not lead to anything except that they said sorry 10 times. Well, it's a total mess.
I would especially like to mention the hotel. The location is good - in the city center and close to the beach. You can get to local "attractions" such as mall or beach by shuttle (free bus that runs from 9 am to 5 pm). The service is incomparable, fully justifies its four + stars. The staff is very attentive, the room was cleaned daily. A couple of times upon arrival at the hotel at lunchtime, they caught cleaning in full swing, had to wait or ask to be cleaned at a time when we were not there. The service in the restaurant is amazing, the employees were so attentive and courteous that sometimes it turned into an obsession, they tried hard to please)). Before we finished eating, they took away our plates and brought us clean cutlery. Coffee and tea were offered in turn and sometimes several waiters brought at once, it was ridiculous.
Liked the pool very much. Water +27 (warmer than in the bay in December), and a sufficient number of sunbeds. I especially recommend swimming at sunset - the view is indescribable!
The impressions are wonderful and next time we will definitely stay in the same hotel!
