The hotel was chosen more for the price, we already went to the beach, for us this is not a problem.

As an introduction to the review, a little background: I am 27 years old, I have been vacationing in the UAE for the 5th time, I have already visited Dubai, Fujairah, Sharjah, this time I flew with a friend, we decided to try the unexplored lands - Ras Al Khaimah. The hotel was chosen more for the price, we already went to the beach, for us this is not a problem. The hotel is located in the bay, you need to go to the beach Hilton to the beach. A shuttle to Dubai departs from the hotel, for those who need shopping or excursions, you can ride it for free. We took breakfast because we knew that we would have lunch and dinner in other places, since the hotel does not have a beach. We dined most of the time at the beach Hilton, but once we were lucky enough to dine at our hotel. Why were you happy? Yes, because the lunch is just great, everything was insanely delicious! The choice of dishes is very small, but the quality of cooking is just 5+. There is a disco club at the hotel, but I don’t recommend showing up there, especially for single girls and women without men, the audience, let’s say, is far from the best, and no one dances. The room was on the 4th floor, without a balcony and a bit old, but overall nothing. The reception is pleasant, the 1st floor is large, you can sit on the sofas. Finally, a little advice to the ladies: although now there are less strict rules for entering the country, I recommend that you take out travel insurance in tour companies. It costs a penny, but it will help to get all the money back if a visa is refused. We booked with a tour company Unitours, we were advised to take insurance, it was somehow calmer at heart, and it cost something around 300 rubles.

The hotel is beautiful, territory, architecture, infrastructure! At the entrance they take a deposit, $ 1000 per week. All expenses are carried out in non-cash form, by signature in each invoice. But it is necessary to check it’s a common thing to register! They look at the demand to bring an account as if they were an enemy of the people, they return the deposit with such a feeling, as if they are tearing it from the heart! Food in restaurants is not cheap, about $ 200 a day for three without drinks and alcohol, so I advise you to dine in the city! The emirate itself is small, travel by taxi, if you can catch it.

We went to a pizza hut and secured a night walk under the stars, until the local merchants, the Egyptians, took pity and took us to the hotel, though for free, for which many thanks to them. The sea with incomprehensible behavior, the strongest ebb in the early morning, the cleanest, but only either early in the morning or in the afternoon. The rest of the time is algae and garbage. Shopping in Dubai by taxi about $100 or by hotel bus 3 times a week for about $30 per person. Shopping time is about 7 hours, they are being taken like rabbits to the Dubai mall. children in the hotel will be bored, entertainment to a minimum, if more than 7 days it is definitely better to take a car. The staff is friendly, the rooms are clean. There are cockroaches and ants in the room, mosquitoes and midges in the evenings! In general, for a relaxing holiday and only relaxation, a wonderful hotel, definitely Dubai for shopping and cultural life. Vouchers from coral, no complaints, everything is as usual! The representative talked on the phone, he was only interested in excursions, but there were no inconveniences and problems, the transfer was on time, there were no special problems, so petty sloppiness! Alena. A wonderful, highly qualified specialist, with excellent knowledge of routes, with patience and diligence! So I advise everyone!

Builders look directly in windows of number, water dirty. Tour operators say lies, that construction has ended- not trust! We with the wife have got Permits in the United Arab Emirates, for the period from 11.04 to 22.04. 08, in Hotel Hilton Ras Al Khaimah. Next day after our arrival at us from number have stolen trousers from expensive suit for $1000. The hotel on behalf of Ghada Mahgoub (Front Office Manager) has refused to react to this situation and to indemnify us!! ! We with other Russian tourists, they have told that at them things vanish: At one pair spoke the nightgown was gone, from two other pairs stole from mini-bar, took a sip from bottles with cognac, boxes of sweets vanished. We have checked up the mini-bar and it has appeared that at us the box of sweets too was gone and from a table the pack of condoms was gone, that we considers as the most disgusting from the personnel of the Hotel. We have written on arrival the claim to sending company “Paks”, but till now have not received any answer, as well as from the accepting company “Planet tur”! But it is shocking not so much a case of larceny, how many scandalous and indifference of a management of Hotel to cases dishonouring its reputation and disgusting the attitude to Russian tourists. We travel much and were in the different countries, including Arabian and Asian, but anywhere and never at us nothing vanished, even if valuable things laid in a prominent place. If do not wish to spoil to itself rest and to offer something from the valuable things in favor of hotel - do not stop in this hotel even if to you will offer burning permits! It is better to overpay and live a little in the Sharzha, than to spoil to itself for the money mood on all the rest!!!

Hilton Ras Al Khaimah (Hilton Rassel Khaimah) is probably the most disgusting hotel in the UAE. Not only does it not attract 5 stars, a maximum of 3, it is located in the farthest emirate of Ras Al Khaimah, 100 km from Dubai, large-scale construction is underway on the territory of both hotels, beach and city, which will end no earlier than in 2 of the year.

Builders look directly into the windows of the room, the water is dirty. Tour operators lie that the construction is over, do not believe it!
My wife and I purchased Vouchers to the UAE for the period from 11.04 to 22.04. 08, at the Hilton Ras Al Khaimah Hotel. The next day after our arrival, trousers from an expensive suit worth $1000 were stolen from our room. The hotel represented by Ghada Mahgoub (Front Office Manager) refused to respond to this situation and reimburse us for the damage!! ! We spoke with other Russian tourists, they said that their things were missing: one couple lost their nightgown, two other couples were stolen from the minibar, drank from bottles of cognac, boxes of chocolates were missing.
We checked our mini bar and it turned out that we also lost a box of chocolates and a pack of condoms disappeared from the table, which we consider the most disgusting from the Hotel staff. Upon arrival, we wrote a claim to the sending company "Pax", but still have not received any response, as well as from the receiving company "Planet tur"! But it is not so much the case of theft that is outrageous, but the blatant and indifference of the Hotel management to cases that disgrace its reputation and the disgusting disdain for Russian tourists.
We travel a lot and have been to different countries, including Arab and Asian, but nowhere and never have we lost anything, even if valuables were in a conspicuous place. If you don't want to ruin your vacation and donate some of your valuables to the hotel, don't stay at this hotel, even if you are offered last minute deals!
It is better to overpay a little and live in Sharjah than to spoil your mood for the whole vacation for your own money !!!

The Emirates is a completely extreme case, if in winter you want to go to the sea and the sun, but a darn is not far away. Because this is of course a garbage dump and a construction site. We took the car and looked around the whole country, including neighboring Oman. Garbage. Dubai is a big goofy metropolis.

Dubai is a big goofy metropolis. Construction is everywhere. The main entertainment is shopping. But it needs to be a big fan. The area around Jumeirah is more or less clean, but construction cranes are visible from every crack. All major so-called. sights can be seen in half a day. The beaches are different, but clean. Even urban ones, not to mention hotel ones.
Sharjah, Abu Dhabi are smaller metropolitan areas. But all too.
Ajman, Ras al Khayyam, Fujairah are just little dirty villages with a few tall houses, wastelands and garbage dumps.
We lived in Ras El Khayyam at the Hilton RAK. That is, in Ras el Khaimah there are two Hiltons - one in the city. And one on the beach. The one on the beach is called the Hilton Spa resort. And from the city Hilton they take you to the beach by bus. Approximately 5 minutes.
City Hilton - regular Hilton, 4 stars. Excellent breakfasts. For dinner, you can take the so-called. sw. a table for 20 dollars or dinner on the menu. The menu is extremely limited. There are a couple of restaurants in the hotel and next to the hotel. It's quite difficult to go into the city and find authentic cuisine. Everything more or less authentic is dirty eateries with oilcloth on the tables and plastic utensils.
And the city is not really a city. These are several tall buildings and wastelands around ...
Hilton Spa Resort is a very decent place with a really nice, clean beach. The sand is just white powder. Very pleasant. But! Right next to the hotel there is a large construction site of the hotel complex. You can go further along the beach, but in any case, you will observe the operation of the cranes and the sound of the fender.
Both Hiltons have good tennis courts and gyms. The Hilton Spa has an excellent children's room. Playgrounds, animators are engaged in children. Any competition, dancing...
My 8-year-old daughter had a wonderful time there with German and English messengers. Excellent language practice.
The main occupation in the evening is to go to the local Mega, to walk around the same shops. For children - slot machines, swings and merry-go-rounds.
Renting a car is not a problem. automatic transmission, it is impossible to find a mechanic. Prices from 30 USD per day. NOTE! Since 2007, Russian tourists have been given cars according to INTERNATIONAL rights. This is not due to the inability to drive. And with the fact that insurers do not cover the risks of drivers with other rights than international ones. There are two options - either go to the traffic police and get a temporary permit. At the same time, look at the Arab officials from the inside. Or pay a little more and take a car from a company that, as it were, covers insurance risks. Roads are awesome. Logical interchanges, pointers everywhere. I had a road map of the emirates - I used it only once. Petrol pennies.
There are only 95 and 98. a full tank - 20-25 dollars.
Tours:
She wrote about Dubai and Sharjah. Dreamland Aquapark http://www. dreamlanduae. com/ is a cool place. Note: Towels are not available for rent. You can buy in a shop for 10-15 dollars. And you can take from the guests. Absolutely all payments (except for the entrance ticket) for cash. Drinks and food are not allowed. Bags are checked. But they watch without prejudice.
Fujairah is very unpleasant, gray sand, and even if the beach is clean, it feels like some kind of dirt ...The Indian Ocean is covered with algae in winter.
We went to the mountains. These are rather conditional mountains. Unfortunately, we did not find any waterfalls, and just a little bit pleasing to the eye landscape.
Jeep safari - Zekinski. Rides from the heart.
Summary: for sure, the emirates seem like a paradise to someone. But I will not recommend this country to anyone. There are places on earth that are really worth visiting. And I'm a little sorry for wasting time here.
