Traveled from 05/22/12 to 05/30/12. The hotel is awesome! Compared to 5* in Egypt and Turkey, this one is 5+. Ideal for family holidays, tranquility and relaxation.
The tour operator from Kyiv is Join up! , in the UAE the host is Royal Park. All the formalities at the airport went through pretty quickly, at the exit the representative of the Royal Park gave all the girls a rose, a trifle, but nice. )
We only had breakfast. City view room. 5th floor. Everything is clean, tidy, cleaned up every day, sets of shampoos, soaps, gels, hats - everything is as it should be. All equipment worked properly - air conditioning, TV - 2 Russian channels, a lot of English and a few local ones. There is also a kettle, coffee, tea and sugar - for free. The safe is also free.

Breakfasts - sausages, omelettes, vegetables, potatoes, pasta, jams, pastries, cold cuts, watermelon or melon, chocolate or corn flakes with milk, pancakes, etc. The restaurant itself is bright, stylish, modern, with a small aquarium in the middle. Tables are immediately cleared and served. The order there is monitored very strictly.
The beach is the most convenient and largest among other hotels that are nearby (Carlton and Beach Hotel). You don’t have to worry about sunbeds, you can find a place for yourself at any time, we loved to lie on a lawn specially equipped with sunbeds under palm trees between the sea and the pool.
The pool is cooling down. But in the jacuzzi it is impossible to lie down, it is generally boiling water!
From the hotel 3 times a day (at 10.00, 15.00, 20.00) there is a free bus to Dubai to Deira City Center (to the Dubai Mall, where the Burj Khalifa is located - the tallest building in the world, and singing fountains, 9 metro stops), Metro it's like a separate attraction.
If your guide does not give you maps of Dubai and Sharjah, take them at the reception, it's also free.
We were not interested in shopping, we also didn’t buy excursions, but we went everywhere ourselves, it’s much cheaper and more exciting.
I do not understand people who say that there is nothing to see in the UAE. It seemed to me that this is a country completely different from others, with its own culture, traditions, and a sea of ​ ​ amazing places.
If we are 2 times a day (breakfast at the hotel and lunch-dinner at other restaurants). Near the hotel there is a market where you can buy milk, juices, water, fruits. And 2 restaurants, we went 2 times to the fish, there are several halls and when ordering a hot dish, they bring vegetables, pita bread, pickles, sauce for free, the bill for two with fresh juices turned out to be 200-220 dirhams. (1 c. u. = 3.66 dirhams).
It is better not to change money at the hotel, the exchange rate is very unfavorable.
On the rest of the days, we ate at fast food restaurants in the Dubai Mall (there are not only burgers, but also healthier food) and Nesser Square in the Golden Fork (Golden Fork).

It is better to buy souvenirs at Nesser Square in gift shops (supermarket of souvenirs and other nonsense), magnets and key chains for 2.5 - 5 dirhams, at the hotel a magnet is 15 dirhams.
If I went a second time, I would also choose this hotel.
