This time, my friend from Munich made me a company on vacation. At the initiative of a friend, we considered Egypt, but at the Mandrui travel agency, where we turned to buy a tour, they offered the DoubleTree by Hilton Resort & Spa Marjan Island 5 * hotel in the UAE at a “good price”. When I voiced this proposal to my friend, she wrote to me on Viber, “We must take it. Such a hotel, in such a country, at such a time (April) and at such a price - for Germany this is something completely unrealistic. When we were already flying to Dubai, a friend admitted that she doubted the quality of the rest for that kind of money, there are no miracles in the world. Until the last moment, she expected some kind of catch, but everything turned out to be just super! Everything was chic: the hotel, the room, the service, the food, the beach… Despite the fact that the hotel is quite large (several buildings, many villas) and there were many guests, the staff was at their best: no irritation and fuss, everyone had time and everything was enough for everyone . We spent an unforgettable week, had a great rest, and a friend also fell in love... with Dubai, having been on an excursion in this amazing city. As for me, I have already been to the UAE and Dubai conquered me last time.
In early April it was not very hot, but the sea was already warm enough, the air conditioner in the room was turned on only in the last couple of days, at 7-8 o'clock in the morning they drank coffee on the balcony, enjoying the gentle sun. By the way, there was a kettle in the room, and tea, coffee, sugar, cream, water were replenished constantly. Turning to the cleaner, we received the Wi-Fi password and you could always use the Internet right in the room. Of the amenities there were also a free safe, a refrigerator, an ironing board with an iron, a telephone, a TV, which was practically not turned on.
I would like to draw attention to the following: upon arrival, I had to pay a tourist tax of 20 euros, moreover, they insisted on cashless payment, and they also demanded a deposit, but my friend with a German passport and in good English agreed not to pay this deposit, although this is not so it was important: everything that we would not have spent, we would have been returned. The important thing here is that the rate at the reception is very unfavorable, i. e. , it is better to pay, for example, for drinks at dinner, etc. in derhams. One more piece of advice. Not far from the DoubleTree by Hilton Resort & Spa Marjan Island 5 * hotel is the RIХOS hotel, on the territory of which there is a small store where you can buy some products, incl. and dates.

I would like to express my deep gratitude to all the hotel staff for the excellent service, friendly attitude towards guests, for organizing leisure activities (animation, live music in the evenings, children's disco) and a separate big THANK YOU to the chefs who fed us so tasty and varied!
Rest was a success, miracles happen!
