We flew without vouchers and with a child, because of this, we paid a little extra and included breakfast. The buffet restaurant has a lot of choice of food, everything was delicious. Most days I cooked in the room, but also visited restaurants. Near the beach, Al Seef hotel has a Kazan restaurant. He liked us with his Russian Tatar cuisine. Russian-speaking staff and friendly. We liked the dishes, everything was delicious, especially the Dorada fish is tender, plus there is a children's menu. So there was no problem with what to feed his son, but he liked pancakes with cottage cheese and milkshakes more.
The beach is within walking distance of the hotel and there is a shuttle to the public beach. We flew in early December, at this time the climate is mild for families with children.
Arriving with a child, of course, they took him to all entertaining excursions. The theme park Img worlds of adventure, with 4 different universes, is a paradise for kids. Marvel, with super heroes, "Jurassic Park" dinosaurs as lifelike, very impressive. Excursion to Legoland park, it's just a fabulous world, my son was delighted, he especially liked the lego water park water slides. All these excursions were bought in Shan Tours, located in the Summer land hotel. Pick up and drop off on time, thank you.
You can buy tickets yourself, but all these parks are located outside the city and it’s hard to get especially back, plus queues at the box office.
Due to the crisis, our vacation budget was very small, so the choice fell on this hotel. We had children with us, so it was important to have a playground. And the hotel is just located in the business center, where there is a children's area. The hotel is nice, the rooms are cozy, there is everything you need, even a sewing kit and a kitchen where we often had a snack.
The hotel does not have a beach, but there is a free shuttle to the public beach, no amenities.
We only had breakfast at the hotel, so we had lunch at the Kazan restaurant not far from the beach (at the Al Seef Hotel on the 1st floor). Everything here is delicious and inexpensively prepared Russian European cuisine. Children ate dumplings and dumplings with pleasure. There are also a lot of pastries here, we bought it and took it with us to the beach.
The hotel has an indoor swimming pool, a men's and women's gym, overall a good value for money hotel.
We went on 3 excursions: in Dubai, to the Aquapark, and Al Ain. The water park is amazing, beyond words, the children did not want to leave there. All excursions were pleasant, everything is well organized. Lunches are included in the price. Al Ain is a true oasis in the desert. Visited the palace of Sheikh Zayed, bathed in hot springs, visited the largest zoo in the Middle East, walked among the palm forests, just amazing. We bought excursions inexpensively near the Kazan restaurant in the Summer Land hotel on the 1st floor. The hotel has "Shan Tours" signs and banners, so it's easy to find.
