1. Location - on the shore of the lagoon.
They take a bus to the city beach from 10.00 to 13.00 (it’s very hot, you can’t do without shade), there are no sun loungers or an awning on the beach. The shadow is only from the awning on the playground, but sunbathing on the playground is not very pleasant, as children come to play with their parents and their dissatisfaction with the presence of vacationers on the playground is quite understandable.
Near the hotel there is a full-fledged yacht repair company, that is, the smells of paint and others, not very pleasant, can be heard more than once.
If you want to swim in the Persian Gulf, with white sand and not seeing the edge of the reservoir, this is not your hotel.
2. Food - I can say for breakfasts for 2 weeks, the menu of the week: boiled eggs, chicken sausages, potatoes, milk porridge, muesli, tea (no choice, bags are brewed in a two-liter container, if you are used to drinking a tea bag per cup - do not it will turn out) and coffee, pastries.
Changing the menu throughout the week - instead of boiled eggs - scrambled eggs and 2 times vermicelli. There is no cafe within walking distance, you need to go by car.
Near the fish and fruit market.
3. Number - no complaints, but we were not looking.
Cleaned daily, shampoo and soap replenished upon request (easier to take with you or buy on arrival).
Iron and hair dryer provided on request.
4. Transport - the hotel is undergoing a LARGE REPAIR OF THE ROAD and it seems that the next couple of months it will not end, but will only unfold.
If you want to go to a wild beach in the morning at 07.00-08.00 when calling a taxi, you need to go from the hotel to the square, and then catch a taxi on the highway. At the time of our departure, the construction moved forward and it was necessary to go about 500 meters.
5. Free transfer - to Dubai on Wednesdays and Fridays (at 13.00 from the hotel at 21.30 from Dubai Mall) and Ajman on Thursdays at 16.30.
6. The local population understandably also rests in this hotel, mostly from Thursday evening to Saturday, mostly Indians, we treated this normally, people also need to rest. During our holiday period, there was no inappropriate behavior on their part.
7. The hotel staff, in my opinion, does not make any efforts to solve minor problems, such as a taxi - it is not clear why you cannot leave the hotel directly for your own money, it can be solved - there would be a desire to communicate with the hotel management with a taxi service; transfer to the beach - it is decided to change the transfer time, and make an additional flight both in the morning and in the afternoon, then go to the beach for about 7 minutes; diversify the menu; instead of Ajman, make a transfer to Sharjah.
It seems that the hotel management is pleased to listen and read unpleasant reviews, according to the principle - anyway, you rest for 7-14 days, you will rest and you will not return to us again, and other tourists will come to your room.....
The hotel is suitable if you are planning an active holiday, before lunch on the shores of the Persian Gulf, and then a trip. It is not suitable for the beach, because after a trip to the city beach, the impression of the reservoir near the hotel is aggravated.
We are not the first time in the UAE, and this is OUR bad choice, if for the first time you don’t want to spoil the impression of the UAE with its beautiful beaches and hotels, I would recommend choosing another hotel on the shore of the Persian Gulf itself (albeit a little more expensive, but the impression of the rest will be completely different).
But again, to each his own, when choosing a hotel, do not repeat our mistakes : ).
The work of local hotel guides seemed very strange - or I don’t know what they are called, we never met one at all, and the girl at the hotel doesn’t help tourists much, so we organized the rest ourselves.
Of the specific disadvantages, I will note the cleaning in the rooms - this is just an insult to the guests !!!
And I also want to wish a good mood to the hotel workers at the reception desk, otherwise their faces are sour all the time.
In conclusion, I will say that you can relax in this hotel, because. other hotels in this developing city in terms of tourism are definitely worse.
