The minus is this - there are adjacent rooms in which 100% audibility. This is a strong discomfort. Hear everything!
If they don't put me in that room again, I would come there again.
Free shuttles to the beach and to Dubai. The beach is public, clean white sand, the sea is clear, but we did not swim, it was cool, but some people swam or surfed. To Dubai, you need to book in advance or take a taxi (reasonable prices)
We went for breakfast, (buffet) choice is small and not varied. But for the price I think it's good. We had lunch and dinner at the Al Seef Hotel, on the ground floor in the Kazan restaurant. It is a five minute walk from the public beach. The prices here are budget, and the portions are large, the cuisine is Russian and Tatar, so there is a choice. Lula kebab and plov were insanely delicious.
The hotel staff is pleasant, Russian-speaking. There is little entertainment, there is no pool, but there is a fitness room.
By the way, the location of the hotel is good, there are many shops and the central market nearby, popular attractions, such as the Sharjah Aquarium (it's worth going).
We went on a tour of Abu Dhabi with Shan Tours, located at the Summer lan hotel opposite the Al Seef Hotel. The program was amazing, we learned so many interesting things about the Emirates. Guide Murat responsible, did not let us get bored, told exciting. The mosque is delightful, striking in its size and beauty. After what you see, you understand what a truly luxurious, rich and amazing country it is.
So, the advantages of the hotel:
- there is a Russian-speaking staff who will show and tell everything.
- clean room, cleaning and change of linen every day, the bathroom has all soap accessories;
- free bus to the public beach, if you do not have time on the bus, you can take a taxi, it costs about 15 dirhams;
- the sea on the public beach is excellent, the beach is sandy, the bottom is flat, gentle, the water is clean;
- we didn’t have time for breakfast in the morning, as we were leaving on an excursion, but we were given a ration, but in order for you to be given it, you need to inform the hotel guide about this in the evening;
- Free transfer to Dubai. But you need to sign up for it in advance, back on your own, you can order a taxi, it is inexpensive.
Minuses:
- food right in the lobby of the hotel, somehow uncomfortable. The food is monotonous, scarce, but you can eat.
General information:
You need to eat at the hotel according to coupons that will be issued at the hotel on the day of arrival, it is better to count them immediately. We dined at the Kazan restaurant, it is located 5 minutes walk from the public beach, where we were brought by bus from our hotel (at the Al Seef Hotel). The menu here is varied: dumplings, plov, dumplings, belyashi, kurniki, Olivier salads, venegret, Napoleon cakes, Prague, etc. , in general, everything is familiar and familiar. There is also seafood cuisine. Everything is fresh and homemade. The prices are reasonable and the portions are huge.
Directly opposite the Al Seef hotel there is the Summer Land hotel, where we bought a tour of Dubai from Shan Tours. A girl Tatyana is sitting at the counter opposite the reception, she explained everything to us, prompted us. Dubai is a rich, luxurious city. Skyscrapers, expensive cars, palm trees, clean streets - you enjoy all this when you walk around the city. On the tour we were accompanied by a guide Murat, he tells everything in a very interesting way.
I want to say that the UAE is a country of great opportunities, everything is really done here for people, I would like to be born here, it’s a pity everything is not like that with us.
