First impression. An uninteresting concrete building of the design of the 80s, in the desert settlements of Dubai, 20 minutes from the Marina through the industrial zone. One large area for 2 hotels JA Beach and JA Palm Court. Rooms. 2 single beds. Modern renovation without luxury items. Everything is standard for 5 stars: bathrobes / slippers, cosmetics, iron / ironing board, tea / coffee, safe, plasma, refrigerator.

First impression. An uninteresting concrete building of the design of the 80s, in the desert settlements of Dubai, 20 minutes from the Marina through the industrial zone. One large area for 2 hotels JA Beach and JA Palm Court.
Rooms. 2 single beds. Modern renovation without luxury items. Everything is standard for 5 stars: bathrobes / slippers, cosmetics, iron / ironing board, tea / coffee, safe, plasma, refrigerator. The view from the room is blocked by an old balcony.
Beach. The big problem of the hotel: for the most part, the entrance to the water is on sharp stones and then on dark algae. In the algae, it is teeming with crabs, which not only do not run away, but also pinch painfully. Perceptible low tides expose the stones and make swimming impossible. View from the beach to the concrete unfinished building, and from the other side to the pier. The water is stagnant.
Nutrition. For breakfast, the most delicious was salmon, calambert and emmental, orange juice and natural coffee or cappuccino from a coffee machine.
WiFi: Free throughout.
Free transfers: to bargain.
Mall of Emirates and Atlantis Water Park. Taxi from Dubai Marina to the hotel 50 dirhams ($14).
A hotel for those who do not care about swimming in the sea.

I would like to share the pros and cons of this hotel, I think to do it necessarily because it was in Dubai that it was the 15th "anniversary hotel" PROS: 1. All-inclusive meals are fundamentally different from similar systems in Turkey and Egypt for the better 2. The hotel is ideal for couples with children and the elderly age (both should not be too demanding).

I would like to share the pros and cons of this hotel, I think to do it
necessarily because it was in Dubai that it was the 15th "anniversary hotel"
PROS:
1. All-inclusive meals are fundamentally different from similar
systems in Turkey and Egypt for the better
2. The hotel is ideal for couples with children and the elderly
age (both should not be too demanding).
3. Almost everyone knows or can answer the questions asked on
Russian language
4. The remoteness of the hotel from the "city" - allows you to relax and forget about
hectic.
5. Plenty of entertainment for kids
MINUSES:
1. Remoteness from the "city" if you came not only to the beach,
Get ready to spend 30-45 minutes. one way visit
significant places in Dubai, after 1 trip you probably won’t want to
leave the hotel.
2. Disgusting beach, the water in the artificial bay is dirty, due to the lack of
water rotation, the bottom was covered with a small amount of algae similar to
mowed lawn, on one side of the bay there is construction, on the other
oil loading terminal, the hotel has its own "marina" where yachts are
and a hydro-plane which starts flying from 8 am.
3. The view from the cheapest room (overlooking the golf course) is much better
view from the room overlooking the bay due to the reason described in paragraph No. 2. If
Decided to go take it with a view of the park!
4. One and a half beds in their Russian terms are not such,
and they are single, with a height of 1.90 and a weight of 100 kg, I was
it is not very convenient to huddle on a narrow bed under a blanket 90 cm wide,
sorry, but the blankets on the planes are wider...
5. Disgusting room cleaning, it seems clean but a layer of dust on the bedside
bedside tables and in the area of the mini-bar and rare cleaning of the room with a vacuum cleaner (dead
the butterfly lay in the center of the room for 3 days) make themselves felt.
6. It is almost impossible to invite guests to the hotel if you are not
a permanent resident of the UAE, sorry, but there is a division of guests according to
on a national basis (friends came to us and only after
we informed the reception that our guests permanently reside in the UAE their
the car was "launched" to the hotel with an apology, and the "fairy tale" of the employees
the hotel, that there are no parking places, in restaurants and on the beach, was
forgotten! Just magic....
hotel management next - the cat sleeps the mouse dance....
Based on the foregoing, the hotel does not pull on 5 *, the best thing is
Worthy of a hotel in the UAE 3 stars! Therefore, when you are lured (hotel website,
travel agency) beautiful photos of this hotel-know you again
deceived. . .

The hotel is wonderful. My husband and I traveled in September. They lived on the fifth floor. The service was also very good. The only drawback is the excursions from Natalie Tour. , since the hotel is far from the city, this tour company is the only one from which it was possible to purchase excursions. We bought two excursions and both times we were "thrown" so we wanted to get to Abu Dhabi, but "thanks to Angelina (a representative of this tour company) we didn’t get there.

Hello. I am currently in this hotel. There is nothing bad to say, of course, but there are a number of minuses. Firstly, this is the remoteness of the hotel from Dubai and its lonely location. Last year we were in Sharjah, in 4-ke, so there is less distance from the airport and there is where to get out of it.

Hello. I am currently in this hotel. There is nothing bad to say, of course, but there are a number of minuses. Firstly, this is the remoteness of the hotel from Dubai and its lonely location. Last year we were in Sharjah, in 4-ke, so there is less distance from the airport and there is where to get out of it. There is a desert around here. Not a strong minus, but sometimes you just want to change the view for 20 minutes. Further, the hotel includes, as it were, 2 high-rises and a bungalow. Despite the fact that the hotel is now 100% full, lunch for everyone is organized in one restaurant, although you can have breakfast and dinner in both. From here - QUEUE for lunch - in 5-stars! ! Of course, I will stand, but it’s not ice to stand with the kids. Then, the food is generally not bad, but in 15 restaurants - in fact, the same. Bytro gets bored. The wine is disgusting, even though Made in France, Spain and Argentina - and everything is fortified, as if people only go here to drink. In short, a glass for appetite is not particularly asked for in the throat. Beer and cocktails are ok, but cocktails depend on the bartender. ) From entertainment - stupidly in the evening in a bar on the street, or in a bar upstairs. In both - live music of a very decent quality. Service, pools, beach - everything is fine. I can’t say that it’s excellent - a solid Dubai 4. For 5 stars Dubai, with all due respect to the host country, does not roll. Egor.

The hotel is very suitable for families with children. I went with my daughter 1 year old (take a stroller for walks with you) I forgot, so I had to buy. For children there are a couple of pools with a covered top, so as not to fry in the sun - a huge plus for the hotel !!! ! And the child really liked the peacocks that run around the hotel all the time and the fish with turtles that live in the local stream.

And the child really liked the peacocks that run around the hotel all the time and the fish with turtles that live in the local stream. The standard rooms are really small, but we only slept there, so it didn't bother me at all. I flew in order to relax and do good shopping, so we spent the whole day on the beach (at 17:00 it starts to get dark), and went shopping in the evening. Buses run all day from the hotel to the city center by appointment. Be careful in fitting stores! While I was looking for a dress a size smaller, in my fitting room there was a young lady of Slavic appearance who immediately ran away, after which I did not find my mobile phone. I had to buy a new mobile and a local card. The rooms were cleaned three times a day The hotel body products are really great. The guys who did the cleaning left a lot of jars of shower gel and body milk the day before our departure, and the child was presented with a branded duck. A trifle but nice! Russian-speaking guides will always help you, just smart!! ! The food for me was excellent (breakfast + dinner) Breakfasts are really monotonous, but there are plenty to choose from. Dinner - every evening on a different theme The sweet table is impeccable, especially chocolate cakes and small tarts (this is my weakness) The beach is clean, the sea is certainly not very good, but I knew where I was flying and for what. I returned home with a positive attitude. Have a nice holiday!

I do not put "5" for four reasons: 1. small standard rooms (but we lived together with a child - normal); 2. there are practically no seafood in the food of two standard restaurants working like a buffet, even in the "Seafood Evening" (well, really, a very small choice); 3. the staff of the "5 *" hotel could be more smiling and quicker (some, at least); 4.

3. the staff of the "5 *" hotel could be more smiling and quicker (some, at least);
4. expensive food and drinks on the territory - together with a 6-year-old daughter, it was rarely possible to dine for less than 1500-2000 rubles. Lest you think that we ate too much - I weigh 48 kg with a gain of 170 - and the daughter of my own build : ))). Therefore, in this hotel it is clearly beneficial to take an "all inclusive" - if you are not going to constantly go to the city for lunch. Oh, and the nearest mall is 15 minutes by taxi! And taxis are not cheap there, especially hotel taxis. Therefore, ask the reception to order a regular taxi for you! They say that it will take 20-30 minutes to wait, but in reality - 5-7 minutes : ).
But the hotel, in principle, is worth the money! And the title "5 *". Pros:
1. a large area, very green and beautiful, a river with fish and turtles, birds, peacocks in abundance, a camel on which children ride for free;
2. good sandy entry into the warm sea;
3. normal and varied food in restaurants (excluding seafood, as I have already indicated);
4. good housekeeping, DVD and kettle in the room. And the room itself is clean, modern and beautiful;
5. Many options for outdoor activities: shooting club, diving club, football, volleyball, horse riding, golf club, boat trips, etc. ;
6. impressive - but quite expensive - SPA.
7. For children there is a kids club on the ground floor of the main building, open from 10.00 to 13.00 and from 13.30 to 18.00 and from 18.30 to 22.00. Children from 3 years old can be left in it "on record", but there is no Russian-speaking nanny. In general, we were not very impressed with it (compared to the kids club in a hotel in Crete, maybe - everything was great there). And the children went there only 2 times, then they refused - it was boring. But sometimes you can leave - to go to a bar, or one of the "a la carte" restaurants, or to the spa. Still, it's convenient.
In general - the hotel is very quiet and peaceful, like an oasis. Mostly pensioners-Europeans, and parents with children have a rest. For wild fun - not here : ). Have a good rest!

As for the "construction" on the water, then, alas, it now "decorates" the appearance of many hotels. We knew about her when we were driving, and I can’t say that she is somehow especially annoying.

The hotel is hollow, the beach is not a beach, but some kind of bay nearby, sometimes construction water is dirty, water sports are not everything old and dirty to eat, you need 2 minutes 30 hours until the place is free, then as much until the menu is brought well, and another hour until the food is !!
