The hotel is the first at the entrance to the city of El Fujairah. Placed immediately, standard room, 8th floor (designed for smokers, on the 1st night they gave a non-smoking room on the other floor, because it was busy on the 8th). The bed is large, comfortable, wardrobes, water in 2 bottles supplied every day, kettle, tea bags, 3-in-one coffee, good TV, you can tune in several Russian channels, the refrigerator is small but working, it cooled the water well (twisted regulator).

The bed is large, comfortable, wardrobes, water in 2 bottles supplied every day, kettle, tea bags, 3-in-one coffee, good TV, you can tune in several Russian channels, the refrigerator is small but working, it cooled the water well (twisted regulator). In the bathroom-toilet, liquid soap by the sink, shampoo-gel in the shower cabin, hair dryer, one rope for drying, but it does not dry out overnight, because the window does not open. The air conditioner even at minimum power blows well. There are no smells in the room, everything was quickly blown out even when smoking. I took an adapter for non-standard sockets at the reception, they wanted to take a fee, but they gave it anyway, returned it upon departure.
You enter the elevator, put your key card in and only then press the floor button.
Swimming pool and gym one floor above reception and restaurant.
I took breakfast + dinner (HB), everything is delicious and varied, except that the watermelon is in small pieces and nothing can be taken out, even water (in secret: they still gave me a bottle and saw how they put something in the bags). There is food for vegans - something Hindu. You can replace dinner with lunch or buy lunch, but I never did that.
I didn’t swim in the pool, but in the evening it’s good to sit by him, the sun loungers are comfortable, there were a lot of free ones.
A mini-bus takes you to the beach and back every half an hour until 14-00, not everyone enters. At the pool, they give out a bag with a bedding, a towel and a bottle of water (or two for two) to the beach on the security of a key. From the hotel to the beach, it takes about an hour to walk through wastelands (there are practically no sidewalks), so it’s better to go to the beach on the first flight, and return last, so that later you can drink tea, go to the gym, sit by the pool, etc.
They are only allowed into the gym in sports shoes, I had to buy at Lu Lu (there is also an exchanger, it is better to change a large amount at once, because they take a commission from each exchange). Many returned from the beach by taxi, for four it was inexpensive - something around 200 rubles.
The sea in December is 26 degrees, sand, smooth entry, the beach is deserted, wild, slightly cleaned, without sun loungers and awnings (in summer - a disaster according to the reviews of permanent Russians), it stormed for several days, people rushed to the waves and wallowed in foam. Low tide for several tens of meters, there are a lot of different beautiful shells. Nearby jeeps pull out the net for several hours. The owner is an Arab, they are caught by Indians and others who do all the work in the UAE. Once decided to drag right along the edge of the beach. Asked why they fish on the beach, the Indian replied: "It is fishing area! ". I objected: "No, It is a beach! ". It didn't happen again.
On another day, after a rich catch, a small fish with long fins remained on the shore (sometimes they take off in flocks on the water), they gave a flounder, found a fire pit with coals, skewers, a grate on the beach, gathered firewood and fried it.
From the hotel behind the big mosque in half an hour walk there is a museum (admission for a small fee) and a fortress with newly built "antique" houses and a fort (admission is free). In the fortress next to the fort, a beauty contest for Arabian horses was held on a mini-hippodrome. The Arabs sat in a large tent in white robes. The emir or his son came out to shake hands with the winners, who took pictures with him.

check-in upon arrival. the rooms are clean a little bit small, but since I lived alone, I was fine. There are three hotels in the building - Ibis 3 *, Novotel 4 * and apartments. Common to all hotels - swimming pool and dining room!! ! So you can not overpay and take a tour to the Ibis! The pool is of medium size, with sun loungers they strained, not enough for everyone.

check-in upon arrival. the rooms are clean a little bit small, but since I lived alone, I was fine.
There are three hotels in the building - Ibis 3 *, Novotel 4 * and apartments. Common to all hotels - swimming pool and dining room!! ! So you can not overpay and take a tour to the Ibis! The pool is of medium size, with sun loungers they strained, not enough for everyone.
There is a fitness room with exercise equipment. There is no animation. There is a bar, 2 times a week there was free alcohol for girls. On March 8, we came off as a company! There was live music!!
Novotel was located on floors 13-23. The room is more spacious than in the Ibis, but not by much.
Another minus is that the windows in the rooms are tightly closed! At first it is unusual, but then you do not pay attention to it already. Around the hotel are construction from all sides! ((
Food for a good four. There are not enough fruits, who go to dinner late, as a rule, there is no choice anymore.
Meat dishes are very tasty, they serve chicken and beef.
There is a shuttle to the beach on weekdays and on Saturday before lunch, several times. It takes about 15 minutes by car, if you take a taxi it will cost 8-10 dirhams. Nearby is a large supermarket and the Lilu currency exchange. Behind the mosque across the road, walk for 15 minutes, various malls with different price categories. I bought myself 2 pairs of jeans for 200 and 300 rubles, sunglasses for 100 rubles. Leela sells delicious mango juice with pieces of fruit.
The beach is wild, unequipped, reminiscent of our south in Soviet times. Place your towel directly on the sand. The sea is warm, clean, the waves are very rare. Walk for about an hour. In addition to the Mosque, one of the largest in the UAE, there is a ford and a stadium closer to the beach where bullfights take place
First time in the Emirates, maybe I'll go to another state. In general, I liked the rest! And there was one more minus - the elder of the maids harassed the girls. Could knock on the room at 2 am, offer water. He called me on a landline number and pestered me in the elevator. This is not the first time I have a rest in Arab countries and I have not come across anything like this anywhere
