Nothing to complain about. They didn’t even take $200 from us at the reception when we checked in, when we demanded that our mini-bar be emptied.
The iron and ironing board were handy.
Unless the room does not have a balcony and the window does not open (such a design), but the linen was hung to dry in the bathroom on a special rope. They turned on the condo at the very minus +10, leaving for the beach and the underwear was completely tapped in a few hours. As explained somewhere - this is done in view of sandstorms. Another scary thing is "oil rigs" near the hotel itself and, as a result, spots on the water. It also didn't work out. This is a ship repair yard, not an oil field from a cat. for all the time unobtrusive noise was only once for all the time. No spots - the sea is clean, transparent. The beach is yours - you don’t shake so much for things. Thanks to the presence of fences protruding far towards the sea, the water on the beach is calm - you swim like in a pool. Not far from the coast there is a pontoon to dive in. In general, swimming for children is a pleasure. We swam in the pool a couple of times for show - what a joy it is to splash around in bleach when there is warm sea water nearby.

I advise you to take a full board, because. the city is a stone jungle not for pedestrians. Once we walked, it was uncomfortable. The hotel has excellent cuisine. Thursday seafood is the main highlight of the king fried prawns. Excellent desserts. Freshly squeezed orange juice in the morning. But fruit - only cutting. During lunch, dinner, water is always poured (and topped up). Hummus has been discovered.
Free buses run from the hotel: one to the mall (provided by the mall itself) and to Dubai (hotel).
Offtopic for those who want to visit Burj Khalifa (the tallest building in the world) and Burj Al Arab (Sail).
We bought tickets for Burj Khalifa via the Internet - it's cheaper - it cost three 10 thousand rubles.
At the hotel for half an hour we reached the Deira Mall and from there by metro to the Dubai Mall station, where the Burj Khalifa is located.
Take a one-day metro card for 22 dirhams for 1 person. - to any area by metro + bus.
Do not confuse the Dubai Mall and the Mall of Emirates, from where it takes half an hour to walk to the Souk (market) Madinat Jumeirah - view of the Sail. These are different (! ) shopping centers and, accordingly, metro stations. Moreover, the Mall of Emirates is located in the third metro zone from Deira Mall, which means that the ticket is more expensive.
By mistake, we took a ticket only to the second zone and from the Dubai Mall we thought to walk. But on the advice of passers-by (thank God) we took a taxi. The taxi driver is honest, showed on his phone that the desired point is 7 km away. And then I realized what we got wrong. A taxi to Madinat Jumeirah was 35 dirhams.
Upon our return, the turnstile at the exit did not let us in. We bought one card for 21 dirhams to exit.
