Mangrove4* Ras Al Khaimah had a rest in November 2014 soberly, briefly, about the main thing!! ! The hotel is quite decent. Breakfasts are varied. Although the hotel Oceanic 4 * Fujairah is not close to the hotel. But the prices for tours are correspondingly more expensive. The hotel has a Russian-speaking guide - Daria. This is a man! The first impression about him is that of a cheerful, good-natured puff, ready to respond to the first call and absolutely “disinterestedly” help our Russian brother. But as they say, first impressions are deceptive. My personal advice is to be careful with it. He sticks to the female sex, offers to "seclude" with all the ensuing consequences)) I don’t know, perhaps in Egypt such behavior is acceptable, but you expect at least something more decent from the Emirates. But no, men are the same here. This greatly undermines the image of the country as a whole and as a hotel in particular. In addition, he sent the guys of vacationers absolutely free of charge to Dubai by transfer, accompanied by a Russian-speaking driver, for convincing that it was, firstly, free of charge, and secondly, without obligation to buy something. The trip was meant to be both ways. However, the guys who did not buy anything because of the unreasonably high prices for furs were abandoned by the driver in an unfamiliar area in another city and an unknown country. So, you can imagine what the poor fellows had to go through in order to return safe and sound to their hotel. From the moment you purchase any excursions from the guide Daria, he immediately loses interest in you and does not seem to notice your presence until you leave, well, if you are not a single female)). Excursions can be purchased from him only for the reason that they are cheaper than from any tour operator and that's all... on this, his value as a guide is lost. The price for Dubai with the rise to the Burj Al Khalifa is 100 dollars. , ocean 70 dollars. , safari 65 USD For one person , etc. Further, with regards to nutrition. The transfer takes you to the beach of another hotel, if you look at it at the main entrance, then on the right there will be a Chevrolet car dealership outside the hotel, you need to go around it and you will see directly in Russian letters “Afghan restaurant” on foot min. 5 moves. The food there is pretty good too. Prices are not expensive on average per person lunch from 8 to 20 dirhams. Freshly squeezed fresh juices cost 10 dirhams. Sooo delicious! 1 dirham=13 rub. at today's rate. Taxi to the beach 7-10 dirhams, if you do not want a hotel transfer that runs at 10.11, 12 hours and back at 16.17, 18 hours. There was always a queue for the transfer, which was tiring. With sun loungers on the beach, there were never any problems, it was pleasing. Just as important!! ! The hotel on which the beach has a decent liquor store. For comparison, the prices are absolutely identical duty free Dubai. And the choice is quite varied. There is a great choice for both democratic and sophisticated connoisseurs of alcohol! ! And it pleased. There is a little trick of the store - during the daytime, sellers will find any excuse not to sell you alcohol, this is all so that you can buy it at exorbitant prices on the beach at the hotel. But a Russian person will find a way out of any situation))) How to find this miracle store? Yes, it’s very simple, again we look at the main entrance of the hotel and go around it on the right side there will be a queue of local residents who come by car, the door is not noticeable, but you will find it right away)) there is something written there, something like after 18)) even in the absence of prohibition in the territory of ras al khaim, alcohol is still not sold in public places, drinking is prohibited on the street, and you will have nowhere to drink except on the territory of a hotel beach or your own room. The locals simply drive out onto the highway and sit down to drink along the road, where they grill barbecues. We did not take a chance)) in general, I liked the hotel, because they were more expensive and much worse. If you want to go to Dubai on your own, then it's easy. A taxi from the hotel to the bus station (Bass Station) is about 17 dirhams, a ticket per person for a bus 25 dirhams to Dubai to buy directly on the bus, 20 dirhams back, buy in a booth at the bus stop, window on the right, special for tourists, without a queue, also without the queue will put you on the bus, a taxi back to the hotel 17 dirhams, respectively. I heard they take 50 dollars per person in a taxi))) 1 dollar 3.65 dirhams to go an hour 20 minutes. Tolerant, there is air conditioning)) I even liked it, you feel the local flavor of the country. The final stop Think is adjacent to the metro station. We rode the local subway. You buy a red card, you say (van dey ticket pliz) you pay 22 dirhams and at least ride the metro for a whole day. Specially designed for tourists. It is very convenient when you are in the country for the first time and everything is unfamiliar to you. In addition, at the bus stop in Dubai there is a decent mall if you look at the bus stop, then go to the right, there is also a Chinese shop Day to Day, sooo cheap souvenirs. Haven't seen it cheaper anywhere. Were in the Golden Folk restaurant chain. It's cold and there is no one)) the prices are affordable, one plate of seafood is about 650 rubles. Overeat, also soup for free)) bonus. Taxi from the hotel 14 dirhams, back somewhere around 15 dirhams. If you want to shop, then only in Dubai. Nothing to buy in ras al khaimah! ! It upset. Even in stores that were repeated in Dubai malls, prices in Ras Al Khaimah were higher!! ! Taxi everywhere on the counter for landing 3 dirhams at once, and then how it will wind up)) accordingly, taxi drivers are trying to ride along the longest road))) they themselves had to indicate how to drive shorter. You can also visit the local Monar Mol taxi 9 dirham one way. Near the Mangrove Hotel, if you look at it, then on the left is a small grocery and chemistry store, cheap and convenient. Water 0.5 l 1 dirham, cola jar 1.5 dirham)). The food is typical all fast food everywhere. Also, I would like to note that in the hotel the workers are trying in every way to make you pay for everything ! ! It's not very pleasant when you are simply bred for a fool. Water in the room must always be replenished free of charge 2 bottles of 0.5 liters must always be in the room. In the first couple of days they bring it, then they start asking for money for it ! ! It is illegal!! ! Keep in mind!! ! Then, wi-fi in the room is password-protected. Administrators change the password every day, they give someone a password for free for 7 days, someone for 3 days. They refused to give me free. Asked for money. 14 dirhams 1 hour!!! ! Shame!! ! On the day of departure, they tried to sell me a bill for supposedly eaten and drunk food from the bar. It did not pass. I made a scandal. Because I never take anything from the bar. Expensive!! ! Thus, the team undermines the name of the hotel and the country, IMHO. PS You can quickly learn how to navigate the terrain. I would be glad if someone helped to quickly navigate the area.
