Hello!
Holidays abroad is not the first time. We rested in the UAE for the second time (earlier, in the fall of 2011, we stayed in Fujairah, Iberotel Miramar5 *). The current vacation is 12 days in August 2012 (partially during Ramadan). I liked the hotel in general. But, I got the impression that it is more suitable for stops during business trips (I do not recommend it for families with children).
The location of the hotel is quite convenient: 1) close to the metro station - try to take the metro in Dubai at least once, which impresses with its cleanliness and comfort. The scheme is simple; the subway in Dubai is mainly ground, respectively, while riding the subway, look at the city); 2)relatively close to shopping malls. 5 minutes walk to the beach (crossing the road). As such, the hotel does not have territory, there are similar skyscrapers nearby. In the roadway area (not far from the hotel) construction work is underway (as in all of Dubai, however); but that didn't really bother us.
In the evening, the walk is quite lively (especially outside of Ramadan); walked there almost every day.
The rooms are spacious, clean, new and modern. We had a view of Dubai Marina (in the evening it is incredibly beautiful). Cleaning is of high quality, bed linen and towels are changed regularly, bathrobes are changed at the request of the client. (The room has a safe, hairdryer, iron and ironing board; you can ask for an adapter for an electrical outlet at the reception - they will give it for free). Tea, coffee in the room (replenished daily). 1 small bottle of drinking water per person per day (we bought drinking water in a supermarket located right in the courtyard of the hotel). Wi-Fi in the rooms, lobby, restaurant - free of charge.
Staff. Friendly, welcoming, pleasant, responsive. I hope that this is NOT only because, in view of the newness of the hotel, the staff has not yet had time to “spoil”….
Nutrition. We booked on HB. In general, the food is good. Several monotonous breakfasts (for example, porridge was the same for 12 days). Drinks during dinner for an additional fee. Fruits and berries: green and red apples, bananas, oranges, grapefruit, watermelon, melon, papaya (during the first week of rest - then disappeared....), mango (during the first week of rest - then they stopped giving). Breakfasts are standard. Sweets during dinner; for breakfast - pastries (muffins, croissants... ).
Beach. In my opinion, this is the main drawback of the hotel. The beach is urban, not equipped, not quite clean. Cleaners clean it in the morning, but by the end of the day it gets dirty again (I don’t understand, is it really so hard for vacationers to NOT leave empty bottles and hamburger packages on the sand....??? ).
Sea. Very clean, it warmed up significantly by noon (August after all ). You can swim in the sea at any time of the day.
Swimming pool. Very small. We never swam in it.
I would like to note the following: during Ramadan, it was somewhat empty both in the hotel, and on the streets, and on the beach. However, when Ramadan ended and the legal holidays came, in connection with which there was a large influx of guests from neighboring countries. Then we realized that "a kind of emptiness" was more favorable, because. “interruptions” in the operation of the elevators began to be felt in the hotel (let me remind you, the hotel has 42 floors), the beach became crowded...... and what is most unpleasant, this weekend after Ramadan there was such a huge influx of Indians to the beach (they also had days off... ) Hindus, mostly, these were from construction sites, dirty, noisy, wild (they try to film / photograph ANY women in swimsuits), “fragrant” (you know, they use oils intensively (often on an unwashed body) - they are in the order of things), in the amount of 150-200 people... They bathed right in their clothes, apparently to wash it immediately on the body... The police dispersed them on the beach. It was something... I hope that this did not happen again after the official weekend ended, since we, for example, could not relax in such an environment (our vacation ended by the time of the last of the three days of the holiday weekend).
Summing up the above, I think that the hotel is fully consistent with its 4 *. Thank you Rama Plaza JBR for a great vacation : ). The hotel has some flaws that I think can be found anywhere. Decide for yourself. Most importantly, stay positive! Good luck and have a nice holiday!! ! : )
