We traveled April 13-21 with two families with children. The rooms are spacious, bed linen and towels are changed constantly. The only drawback in our room was that the water in the shower did not leave for a long time - friends did not have this problem. The room had all the household appliances, soap-ryolny accessories were brought almost daily.
Beaches: we were on Golden Beach - I liked it, the beach from the Carlton Hotel - if you want to swim in the pool, you can, because the beach is disgusting with sinking sand under your feet, where millions of fragments of shells dig into. The children refused to swim in the sea, so they spent the whole day in the pools. Open Beach-I really liked the sea-water is cleaner than on hotel beaches, but there are more people. But for free and not tied to the bus, which for some reason did not come earlier than 14.45.
Meals in cafes are practically for free, prices are lower than in our cafes, and portions are 3 times larger (one is enough for 2 adults).

Be sure to go to Al Majas Park on the waterfront - a large children's amusement park and a laser show of fountains from 19:00. There is also the third largest 100-meter fountain in the world.
Shopping - next to a mega mall, a lot of cheap shops near the city center - there is nothing to do in it. If you stand facing him, then you need to go to the right of him on the same side, after 80 meters from him, cheap shopping centers begin, where everything is. Between them, I recommend the Max store, which has inexpensive and fairly modern clothes.
We went to Dubai on our own from the bus station for 7 dirhams per adult, you don’t have to pay for children 6 years old. Tickets for Burj Khalifa were ordered 2 weeks before departure on their official website - it's 3 times cheaper - I highly recommend it. The fountains were filmed from the Mega Mall cafe on the top floor - the name is like Sunday, I don’t remember exactly.
If you are with children, take them to the aquarium in the Dubai Mall, they also offer a mini-zoo, I highly recommend it.
Do not buy fur coats in Dubai, especially in the Abrazh center, as everyone here recommends - these are the most popular expensive centers, there are much cheaper, especially in Sharjah. Electronics can be bought in normal centers, we took a tablet in the Mega Mall for only 200 dirhams (1600 rubles) - it works absolutely fine.
For everything about everything in 9 days for a family of 3 people spent 300 dollars, and 500 for clothes. So if you know where to go, then the rest is almost free.
