Отель не очень, но оно того стоит! The hotel is not great, but it's worth it!

I will write about the hotel briefly, without going into details, because if you go to the Emirates and sit in a hotel, then it is better not to go there, or for this, of course, choose the pretentious fives on Jumeirah in Dubai. We were in the UAE for the first time and it made an indelible impression! It's very beautiful, and "very" is an understatement. We chose the budget four (a year ago this hotel had 4 *), but, of course, 3 * and at that time more corresponded to reality. The people at the reception are not the most pleasant, and without a good knowledge of English it is rather difficult to communicate with them, but, seeing explanations on the fingers and your not strong command of the language, they change their faces and pretend that they are deaf. . . The rooms are dark, I won’t say that the furniture is new, but it looks tolerable, there is dirt on the windows, the bath is like a bath, nothing special, but without mold and smudges, which cannot but rejoice. No complaints about bed linen and towels. Food, there are some dissatisfaction with food: we only took breakfasts (no, guys, you won’t last long at breakfasts alone! and in restaurants the food is not tasty, rubbery and not cheap). For breakfast every day, a kind of mivina with sausages, boiled, steamed, fried eggs, sweet omelettes. Well, I think you understood that there was nothing to eat besides eggs. Alcohol is prohibited. For all 10 days of our stay, there was never any fruit (whereas in the neighboring top three for breakfast and watermelons and melons, etc. ). . . Baking is very poor and small (one seedy muffin), not comparable with Turkey! Somehow I looked at the photos presented here, they do not correspond to reality, everything is much more modest. Well, everything seems to be about the hotel, now the sea, or rather the bay. Everything is good here, to the sea at a leisurely pace for 5-7 minutes, crossing a couple of roads with heavy traffic, there is a special beach for Russians, which Arabs come to and stare at our women in swimsuits and take pictures of them! It's not a pleasant moment, but it's there. The sea is warm, clean, the entrance is gentle, there are no sunbeds on the beach, but the beach is clean and cleaned. In general, the city itself is clean, not a speck on the street! At the expense of prohibitions, closed hands, legs, not everything is so strict, we walked in T-shirts, tight jeans, one lady walked in a transparent pareo, no one said a word! But hugging and kissing in public, I think, is not worth it. . In general, there is something to see in the Emirates and it was worth it. As a budget option, at $1390 for 10 days for two, it's quite good. Should suit people with moderate needs!
