We had a rest in February 2024. I liked the hotel. The location is the same. There are shops, cafes, and a shopping center nearby. The sea is a little far away, but they take you by bus for free. You can take a taxi, about 500 rubles. We sometimes walked to turtle beach. Slowly in one direction, min. 50 went out, a bonus liquor store on the way. Turtles have been seen in the sea. I want to write only good things about the hotel, the room is not bad. Windows are opened, cleaning is done every day, tea, coffee, water are replenished, etc. We had breakfast and dinner included. I recommend taking dinner, they cook delicious, the food is varied. There is a small swimming pool and a gym on the roof. Bottom line: the hotel is 5+, minus only in the distance from the sea.
A normal hotel. The main advantage is shopping malls, cafes, shops, hookah bar - all within walking distance. The liquor store is also nearby (who is interested)- 10 min walk. In Monar Mall (to the left of the hotel-15 min walk)there is a market like Auchan - you can buy seafood there - they will be prepared for you on the spot - you will need to wait for 30 minutes. The breakfasts are meager- but you will not stay hungry- scramble, sausages, eggs, pancakes, porridge, vegetables, watermelons, coffee, tea. For dinner - soup, salad and 5 main courses to choose from. They cook after ordering- this is a plus- they cook dinner very tasty- large portions. Minus- if you haven't had enough, they won't give you any more. In terms of cleanliness, the rooms are cleaned at least every day, minus: the shower- the water does not go away, you sit in a puddle, as I understand it in all rooms. It's not terrible because of the price of the hotel- but it's not pleasant. They settled on the smoking floor - they asked for an ashtray for 3 days, 5 times a day, then they still gave it. There is no Russian-speaking staff, but everyone is friends with the translator. Flamingo Beach is 8 km from the hotel-the shuttle takes you to 9, picks you up at 12-13. You need to ask the driver or at the reception for the departure time for tomorrow. The beach is good, there are no sun beds and umbrellas, you will not find shade - you need to have time to take a place under a tree. There are showers along the edges of the beach. They say there is a beach near the Hilton hotel, it is 2-3 km away, we did not go there. The pool is small- there are 6 sun beds, but because it was out of season and everyone mostly goes to it because of a business trip, it was free. Swim normally to cool off. We got to Dubai by bus from the bus station - to Union Square, from there by metro. You can also take a taxi- faster. On the bus and metro we spent about 4 thousand rubles round trip for two, on a taxi about 16-20 t.r. As you like. It's not bad for one time, but there is something to compare it with - so we won't go there anymore.
The hotel is excellent, comfortable, clean.The room has everything you need: a hairdryer,electric kettle,refrigerator,safe, TV, there are even a couple of Russian channels)It is located in the city center, shops, mall,fast food nearby, but the beach is 7 km away(.He carries the transfer 2 times only in the morning and picks it up 2 times in the afternoon.The transfer is designed for 13 people, and the hotel has 13 floors with rooms, so there are a lot of people who want and therefore there may be a struggle for the transfer in the morning).It takes you to 2 different beaches every other day, one day -urban 2.5 km, there are no amenities, but the bay is without waves, the other day-Flamingo beach 7 km-amenities have a toilet,changing rooms, shower, good sand when entering the water and smooth entry, but there are waves.The rooftop pool is 14 fl.(LR), not big, not deep, the water is heated, but it gets cool because of the wind.The food is delicious, we took breakfasts and dinners, if you do not have time for something because of excursions, you can change it, but you need to warn the kitchen administrator 1 day in advance.In general, the hotel is good, we liked it, we were from 02/20.24 to 02/26.24.The hotel charges a tourist fee upon arrival immediately, we have 60 dirhams (1560 RUB) for 6 days
