Recently arrived from this hotel. We went to the Emirates for the first time a little afraid, after reading reviews about the country. Flew from Natalie tour. Pupil scan and passport control went through very quickly. It took about 2 hours to get to the hotel. We went to the reception and we were immediately given the keys to the room and coupons for food. We arrived at the hotel at the beginning of 12 at night and it was very pleasant that we were immediately taken to the restaurant and fed. The food at the hotel is very tasty. Salads are always fresh, very tasty cream soups. From fruits 3 times a day there were only watermelon, melon and fruit salad. 4 types of juices for breakfast. The rooms are large and comfortable. The room had a TV, fridge, hair dryer, safe, electric kettle. Every day they put 2 bottles of water 0.5 l. The territory of the hotel is somehow homely. We fell asleep and woke up to the singing of birds and the lapping of the waves of the Indian Ocean. There were few vacationers in the hotel, but about 11 brought several buses with excursions and took them away at about 16 o'clock. They dined with us in the restaurant, but this, vacationers in the hotel, did not interfere at all. The beach is very large and our tables were reserved in the restaurant. Food was replenished very quickly. . The attitude of all the staff was very friendly. Everyone greets, smiles, patiently tries to answer your question, although we do not speak English well. On St. Valentine's Day, we had a very beautiful celebration. In the Ala Carte restaurant, tables were beautifully set, the hall was decorated with gel balls and candles, women were presented with roses, and a beautiful heart cake was baked. There are no shops near the hotel. We went to Lu-Lu and Safir by taxi. There and back 80 dirhams and the driver was waiting for us for 2-3 hours. Excursions from the tour operator are expensive, but you need to go to Dubai. We went by taxi and therefore saw almost nothing. We also agreed with a taxi driver and went fishing in Oman. The beach at the hotel is very good, the sand, but the only drawback is the yellow jellyfish, which stung very painfully to the point of blood. But, it seems, in February they had a mating season and they bit. Despite the fact that this hotel is a 3, it is much better than some 4 and even 5 in Turkey and Egypt. I would love to return to this hotel and this country. If you're interested, please ask. There are almost no reviews for this hotel.
