Hello everyone, I really want to write a review. In November 2016 (you can only say from the plane), my husband and I rested at the Bin Majid Beach Resort 4 *. Immediately upon arrival, while registering, we witnessed an unpleasant conversation - a Russian-speaking tourist threatened to call the police, because $ 50 was stolen from his wallet in his room. But judging by what we saw, no one was going to help him, even with the help of Nabil’s translation (this is a young man (very good? From whom you can buy excursions in the same place (he has his own table, to the left of the reception), and much cheaper and with guarantee). The further it all ended, we don’t know. Then we were given the keys to the room, the room by the pool, Cabana, the room is good. Despite the pool, we were very worried at first that it would be noisy, but everything turned out to be very decent despite the fact that in the neighborhood there was a family with a child. In the mornings, they planned to swim in the pool for joy, but in fact they never took a dip). The next day, we came to a meeting with the Guide (Hasan-Turk, Coral Travel Company), we had a very long check-in, so there were 15 people at the meeting, and this is taking into account the fact that not everyone came. The guide behaved, to put it mildly, indecently, he talked to us as if we had come to him to get a job. At first, one man could not stand it and made a remark to him, to which the guide answered him: - If you are not satisfied with the way I talk, I will not detain you. After that, another couple left. My husband and I decided to listen anyway - although the mood immediately deteriorated. We regretted that we stayed, because apparently his mood also deteriorated and then he talked to us even worse. We left too. To which he answered us that he had a “bunch” of hotels and, like, we are not his brothers and sisters, so that he would “try so hard” for us. Well, okay, as I wrote earlier - later they turned to Nabil - and by the whole race (Russians) and went on excursions very well. We were on the hunt for crabs - our men really liked it, it can be seen that hunters-producers still live in them. caught and eaten). In the same place, tourists from other hotels also had an unpleasant incident - a Coral Travel guide, a certain Muhamed (Turk), forgot to warn tourists that they would take swimsuits and towels and they had to buy either on the spot or simply not go on an excursion. They bought and asked to write them checks that would later be given to the company for reimbursement (they were advised by Tatyana - the Guide who accompanied them on the excursions). And then we went on a sightseeing tour - here we still didn’t expect this a bit - everyone looked from afar or from the windows of the bus. Everything is fast on the run almost. Only at the end we went to the Dubai Mall - from it to the Khalifa Tower - there we walked in a circle for about ten minutes and down the elevator - then ran to the fountains - then to the aquarium (our Moskvarium at VDNKh is bigger and more beautiful)) - and we were not fed though We only arrived at the hotel around 12:00 pm. They promised our dinner in the rooms, but in fact they didn’t do anything, and because they were tired, hungry, they didn’t understand and went to bed (. We were not the first time in the Emirates, before that we were in Fujairah and Dubai, we decided visit another Emirate but we won't go again, that's for sure! The hotel is not bad. But very neglected, not washed any. The sea, or rather the Persian Gulf, on this beach was very surprised. It looks more like a lake from the outside. Along the banks through one: construction site - hotel-construction site - construction site-hotel (((. The bottom is just terrible, muddy (and they don’t clean it) only at the edge they will throw this slimy green mass a little further away. The sand is all in cigarette butts. Beer cans and the juice cups stood there in the morning the next day. And it’s always like that, they will remove it when “hands reach” and this is not fast. They work (attendants) are very unfriendly, in a larger mass. They can pass by and not even that to say hello, but not to raise an eye on you. I don’t mean that you need to bow to me, it’s just the first time we encountered this. Usually you don’t know where to go from the desire to help). The food was also very poor. Although we have after the first trips there was an opinion that they don’t feed anywhere better than in the Emirates, apparently they were mistaken (. The most edible was pasta. But when the Arabs (local population) stopped by, then the tables burst. I don’t want to choose everything. . Well, okay, we sort of came to rest and didn’t want to wind ourselves up. Therefore, we tried to take everything possible from the rest. Only now there was nothing to take. In the evenings after dinner, there is absolutely nowhere to go, and you can’t walk around the territory, because there is no place for this, only rooms. Well, since there is only desert (construction) around - then the nearest place is if you leave the hotel and (if you stand with your back to it) on the right to the Rixos hotels, take a walk along the embankment. Walk about a kilometer and a half, but the beauty). Then they regretted that they did not go there. ) And if you go to the left, there is a shopping center. But it works until 19-00. And walking in the heat for two or two and a half kilometers is still not very joyful. But we took a lot of beautiful photos. I love taking pictures. ) I thought I'd come home - I'll edit it and post it on social media. network))) let everyone be jealous, but I will not write about the negative. But it was not there. My husband and I decided to take a walk around to photograph the territory of the hotel after lunch. We took a camera with us and put it in a bag so that we wouldn’t carry it in our hands. The bag was hung on the back of a chair. Ate and went, but forgot the bag. They came to their senses - they returned for it - and it hangs open and there is no camera there. Well, to be honest, they weren’t even upset right away, we went to the reception and asked to look at the cameras, and that’s where it all started - all the employees pretended that “you don’t understand mine”. When we said that we wanted to call the police, they said (everyone immediately understood) that you would come in an hour - we would return (find) everything. They came - and again on a new one. They came an hour later - and again on a new one. We decided to call our travel company - Coral Travel on the hotline, to which they answered us - call the police and wherever you want - we are not lawyers and will not help you. Whether you want to call the police or not, we are not responsible for this. They asked me to clarify what laws are here if you call the police - to which the girl told me in a very rude form - I repeat once again - WE ARE NOT Lawyers. After that, it became clear that if the company to which we pay Coral Travel talks to us like this, then it is unlikely that anyone else here will want to talk to us. When the hotel staff realized that they did not support us there, they generally began to behave in a boorish way - they simply openly ignore us - they say, move away, we work here, and you are distracting us. From such an attitude, I wanted to cry, from the realization that no one here cares about you, and from this helplessness and inability to change anything ((((. The next day we already had a flight. Transport was supposed to come for us 20.00, check-out from the rooms at 13-00. Earlier (on arrival) the Guide said that if you pay $ 30, you can check the room before departure. In fact, they asked for $ 50 and only until 17-00. When the bus arrived, the accompanying Guide from the company There was NO Coral Travel. The driver himself (not a word who does not speak Russian) who was guided by the list. As a result, we spent an extra half an hour due to the fact that the driver could not correctly place the checkboxes - those already present on the bus. It seemed that Coral Travel with Everyone was transferred to Turkey to earn money to where the people went, who had previously rested in Turkey. Only to earn and work is not the same thing for them (. In general, the vacation was hopelessly ruined. Well, here's a review I got. I am writing so that it would help someone to pleasantly lead such a long-awaited vacation.
