Hello readers looking for real reviews!
For some reason, I wanted to share my impressions with you, because before the trip I read a lot of different reviews and maybe you will find something new and useful in my review.
We rested at the beginning of June 2019, i. e. the current returned. Family 2+2. Flight and transfer without comment - fed, watered, children were handed out gifts in both directions, delivered to the hotel in 50 minutes by an individual transfer from Dubai airport (extra pay).
Well now let's go...
1. Settlement.
As sometimes happens in hotels, "wait half an hour", and then another and another, etc. (there were a lot of tourists on our check-in, because we got there just in time for the end of Ramadan). And here is our long-awaited number.

The room with a balcony is clean, everything works, towels, bathrobes, safe, mini bar. I did not examine furniture and plumbing for defects and wear, because we went not to admire the antique dealer in the room and sleep for days)), in short - everything is in place.
They cleaned every day, though I don’t remember changing the bedding, at least when you press the do not disturb button, they don’t break, and then, as always, they leave a note that they came and call the reception if you need unscheduled cleaning.
2. Actually the beach.
The beach is shredded shell rock, sometimes not very good (no one had blood clots). The beach is large, there are enough sun loungers and no one fights for a place in the sun (come later - get a seat in the third row, but closer to the shower and the bar, which is handed out from 10 am). During the day, cleaners go, collect garbage without straining the rest. There are enough towels, you take in the morning, you hand over in the evening. Several rescue towers with rescuers (they work well if they see a child without parents "swimming away behind the buoys", then they whistle, look for parents and ask not to leave the children alone in the water, splash men stung by jellyfish with some kind of means, women who asked for help, do not saw))))).
The beach has 3 minuses:
1. algae halfway from the buoys (if you swim from the side of the buoys), but this is only at low tide;
2. ebb tides (did not study the calendar, but we fell into just such a period), in the morning (7-8 in the morning) waist-deep water if you go as far as possible, and it is possible to go on algae. The water level returned to normal by about noon, everything is ice here. The entrance at low tides is not very good, I caught a couple of stones with my heel, but the children ran in norms;

3. MEDUSA!! ! it was not possible to calculate their "calendar" of stay with vacationers, then they are, then they are not. Those who were nailed to the sand, or those who were sentenced by vacationers, are put into bags by the same cleaners (both at the request of vacationers and without). After a couple of days they got used to it, although the sensations are not very pleasant of course (a la nettle), but the children were never touched, although there were a couple of cases along the beach. We rode outside the buoys, there you can see the mating season of jellyfish, there are a lot of them.
Sometimes it feels like the water is saturated with jellyfish, the skin pinches a little on the body, or maybe just salt water, you decide))
4. Food.
Food in abundance (the first half of the holiday). Several types of porridge with milk for children, soups - chicken, beef, tomato, onion, etc. , usable even for adults, desserts, lamb, beef, poultry, fish on the menu, there were grilled cutlets every day, every other day seafood (mussels, shrimp, octopuses all together in sauce) ...in general, they didn’t go hungry. I didn’t like the a la carte restaurants, to be honest, civilized, with pathos, but they didn’t surprise me with the food (Turkish meat kebab from the dining room, lentil soup was really good. Fish lovers should like the a la carte restaurant, salmon steaks, mackerel and some other fish). There is a burger place where ice cream is served at any time in small cups, you make burgers yourself from the ingredients you have typed.
They drank alcohol only beer, I liked that they pour it from cans into disposable glasses, they practically don’t give out in cans (I read somewhere that someone collected 20 cans of beer at home))) maybe because of this. Even if they give out in a bank, then they open it), Amstel beer and some other "K" beer, generally good. They took whiskey with them, no one checked at customs. Everywhere on the territory there are refrigerators with unlimited water.
5. Entertainment.

Playground, mini club, teen club, almost every evening animation for children, there is a mini market (souvenirs 1 boutique, circles, maxi / goggles / fins / children's shoulder blades, buckets 1 boutique, bags / suitcases, well, there are "fur coats" and etc. + 1 boutique). Water activities are also normal, scooters, tablets, bananas (with jellyfish for a trip), flyboards, even, everything for a certain amount, scooter 50 ye, fly board 150, etc. There are free buses to Dubai Mall and also to the local Mall. Dubai Mall - aquarium and fountains - this is a must see!! ! . You really need to sign up in advance at the concierge near the reception.
And finally, purely my opinion - it is important with what attitude you go. Enjoyed the holiday, no regrets.

By the way, about insects, they took all sorts of fumigators, they were not needed, though there were goosebumps outside, and I saw a couple of red Soviet cockroaches and one gecko on the balcony. Well, a few flies in the dining room.

Have a good holiday everyone!
