Georgy and Irina Lyashenko, St. Petersburg
We rested from April 12 to April 26. The hotel has everything for RELAXATION. Those who come to "have fun" or do "yoga" ("to get rid of") - there were also such - it's boring. The cuisine is diverse, although without "twists", we haven't even tried everything in 15 days. There are also various sea fish and other seafood, but the fish is sometimes a little dry, and seafood is in high demand and quickly runs out. Meat - 3-4 types of dishes, there were a lot of tender lamb on the holiday, poultry - 2-3 types. Fruits - the assortment is not great - green and red apples, plums, pears, oranges, tangerines, grapefruits, bananas, watermelons (!), melons (still green - it's not the season for them yet). Sweet - not everyone has even tasted it in 15 days! Drinks - juices (even from cranberries!), tea (in bags of excellent English), various types of coffee, milk, alcohol. Paradox: the country is Muslim, there is no pork in the set of "meat", but alcohol - like in a good bar in St. Petersburg, regardless of religious affiliation - beer is different, red, white, pink wines (very tasty!), champagne, vodka, etc., even whiskey and tequila! Business! The kitchen, though without Parisian "twists", but for us there is everything that is needed, even too much for the weight!
At the beginning of the holiday, there were 85 percent of Russian-speakers. The Eid al-Adha holiday has become less - 50 percent. After the holiday, more Germans appeared, behaved modestly.
The territory, the beach, the sea (ocean) is not Phuket, but it is normal for recreation. On the beach, a wish: to put at least some kind of clock (preferably electronic digital) and draw at least the temperature of water and air on a tablet, lifeguards on the beach will cope with this task.
In conclusion, THANKS to the management and other staff for the rest! We will come again in the autumn.
Everything went well. It was in late January-early February. Among the advantages I want to note: a Russian-speaking reception (a girl and a man from the CIS countries), a waiter Sherali from Mozaika (a buffet restaurant), a bartender Bahir (works at a beach bar or pool bar, also knows Russian), the sea was cold for me, but people swam freely at 23 degrees. Heated pools, children 26-27, adults 25-26, in the adult pool there are different depths up to 150cm. Next to the pool, rescuers who, in case of injury, will bring you to first aid, where they will treat you and stick a plaster, they also whistle in case of diving into the pool. Rooms are cleaned, towels are changed, tea, coffee, various sets are present. It is better to take ultra all inclusive, you will have ice cream, 6 restaurants, special alcoholic cocktails that differ from the usual all inclusive. Of the minuses, I can note the greed of some staff for alcohol in cocktails, but this is not critical. They write in reviews about the monotony of the kitchen - do not believe it, the food is very diverse and delicious, there is for any person, even I liked it, although I am very picky.
A great hotel for families with children. The rooms are spacious, the beds are comfortable. The food is excellent. The pool is gorgeous. I recommend and advise you to relax. Parrots fly all over the territory.
An excellent hotel, the service is incomparable, everything is being done properly, lifeguards work perfectly on the beach and at the pool, a wonderful children's club, the playground is in good condition, the club itself is filled with educational games and babysitters spend useful time with children, it is safe, there is a water slide!
Good day to all, I am writing at the moment being in hotels during the rest period from 11.05. To 20.05. I will try to summarize briefly 1. WiFi throughout the hotel works well, it is free, 2. 85% of guests are Russian-speaking, the hotel staff also speak Russian, a lot of families with children. Swimming pool for children 3 pcs. The slide is open all day. There is a children's club, you can give a child for the whole day from 09 to 19, there are even consoles there. There is simply no animation at all. Volleyball only by intusiasts from the bar.
3. The difference between ultra and all inclusive is only in the add. Drinks as an example, according to the ultra system, you can take beer from Budweiser type taps, according to the all-inclusive system, a can levinbrown and even an ultra billiard table for free, everything else is the same.
4. average temperature 35 the sea is very warm, children will not get out. The length of the entrance to the sea is about 300 meters.
5. There is a bar with hookahs, but the quality for 3 is on the beach.
Everything else is very green, everything is clean and everything is cleaned, the attitude to the guests is very good. Yes, they don't have a snack like in Turkey or there is, but for an extra. Payment.
Yes, union pay works for all Russian banks.
If you need or want something at the reception, everyone will be helped from a taxi to a restaurant in Dubai.
I was abroad for the first time.
I liked everything very much.
And the views and the hotel and the service.
However, let's go (out of season).
It's insanely hot outside.

A great hotel for families with children! There is everything - animation, trampoline, ice cream and standard food for kids! Yes, you won't see any delicacies there, but the food is varied and delicious! Don't expect a calm ocean! But this is only a plus if you are traveling with children, so it is more fun and interesting for them to swim! The ocean is incomparable!
Great hotel. The rooms are new, the plumbing is super. Cleanliness and order. The food in the fish restaurant is not delicious. In a restaurant where everyone eats, the food is good, there is enough choice. There are questions about the ultra all inclusive system (but this is the concept of the hotel) we will return duda again
The hotel is great!
Vacationed with my wife for a honeymoon!
The staff is friendly and pleasant, the food is excellent (for every taste and children can be fed: porridge, mashed soup, etc.)
There is a gym, a spa complex, a huge swimming pool with a bar.
I recommend. The beach is clean . The food is delicious .
There is no animation !!!!
The sea is high. Rest fire. Bring your own alcohol or buy it in the nearest stores . Everything is sold at affordable prices. The rooms are clean and modern.
Service, staff, rooms,food,cleanliness, sea, beach,beauty - everything is at an excellent level.Of the cons, only crows, who like roosters get up early)
Closed territory, its own beach, swimming pool, large landscaped area, gym, children's room, Playground, bars and restaurants on the territory, there are Russian-speaking staff, calm atmosphere. Transfer from the airport and back.
We had half board booked. In the bathroom, shower gel, shampoo, hair conditioner, body lotion, shower cap and cotton pads. There was a piece of soap when checking in, then I had to ask for it, as well as toilet paper. We were only allowed water in the room or restaurant. They didn't give it in bars. The maid was asked to add, so she always left 10-12 bottles of 0.5 each. Coffee, dry cream, tea were also in the room. Slippers, bathrobes, scales, an ironing board and an iron, only the cord is short. The mattress is too hard, and the pillows are too puny. There is not enough dryer on the balcony, some kind of perch. There wasn't enough space.
I liked the food, beef every day, fish, chicken. The sweet is delicious. Even though the choice of everything was small, there was always something to eat. The juices were orange, apple and pineapple, and there was also rose water and Arabic for dinner. Coffee in the coffee machine. Ice cream was given to the child every other day, such as half board-it is not allowed, on the days of issue, if there was a guy, he did not refuse the child.
On the first day, the sea was a disgusting green color, some algae or plankton, besides, it was cold for me at the end of March, 25 degrees was written on the infotable. The beach is normal, but there are not enough umbrellas, there are a lot of sun beds. There is warm water in the shower, but there are not enough changing booths, I had to go to the toilet. The sea was clear on day 2 and in the future too. The bottom was visible near the buoys, sometimes it was up to the throat and shallow near the buoys. You can walk on foot. Also as entertainment, fishermen with a catch of fish. The water in the pools was also 25-26 degrees, one slide. The pool and sun beds are cleaned diligently every morning.
We were in the Rotan Footgear from July 13 to July 21. Took ultra ol inclusive {dine around}. I liked everything very much, the food and drinks are excellent, the room cleaning deserves a separate like. FARIDA from the room service is on top. The beach is simply the best. Moderately flat, clean, sandy, as from the picture. We will definitely come back here.
Very nice hotel. Vacationed with my family in October. Great weather . Water +32. The room is good. The cleanest beach . Nice and friendly staff. In the restaurant, too, everything is at the highest level. The only thing I would like to suggest to improve is cocktails. It was impossible to drink both alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails. They just don't taste good at all.
The hotel is beautiful, the food is delicious, the animators are good, they play well in valebol, there is a convenient descent by the sea.
I would especially like to mention the Russian-speaking Isa waiter
Very nice hotel. The staff is very polite, not noisy. The rooms are comfortable, very quiet and peaceful. The rest was a success. The food is delicious and varied.
A good hotel for families with children. Spacious rooms, great clean beach. Diligent staff. The only negative, I didn't like the food. Very monotonous and poor choice. But we didn't stay hungry
Hello everyone, we rested with our family from 04.04.2023 to 11.04.2023, go to this hotel from Dubai for 2 hours, upon arrival at the hotel we were settled quickly, room 1424, given a view of the sea and the pool, the view is of course very beautiful, the rooms are cleaned every day, I will immediately write that in this hotel provides alcohol, if you have ultra all inclusive, we have lost and taken HB, breakfasts and dinners are of the same type, there is not much choice, but you can find something to eat for yourself, you will not stay hungry, another nuance is fruit, especially watermelons are cut very finely, while you go for a watermelon they have already been disassembled, and you wait you sit when they bring it , and sometimes they don't , especially at the closing of the dinner, this is a minus for this hotel. We also took two cans of beer on the beach that cost 1400 rubles for Russian money , but there is a way out , if you need to drink a beer , there is an alcohol market near the Sandy Beach hotel , where you can buy beer or whiskey much cheaper than at the hotel , you can walk to this store or take a taxi , approximately 5-6 km to the alcohol market. I walked for two hours on foot, but it's better to take a taxi, they run near the hotel , at the hotel they announced the price to me 100 dirhams, which is very expensive for 6 km , and I went for a walk, which I can say from the staff, very friendly always help in everything if any problem arose, there is a Russian-speaking staff at the reception , which makes communication easier, there are still a few guys in restaurants, I don't remember one's name , and the second one is Leo , cool guys will always bring delicious coffee , ask how you like everything , they have a big hello.
The territory of the hotel is quite beautiful and well-groomed, there are three swimming pools, lifeguards are always on the alert, the rescuers themselves are from Sri Lanka, there is another slide for children, if you want you to always have a seashell sunbed, then give 10-15 dirhams to the guys who give you towels , they will take it and put how many towels you need and you will always come already on ready - made sun beds or shells , one of the guys is Suranda , a cool guy speaks a little Russian . In general , my family and I liked to relax in this hotel , I put 4 stars out of the same type of breakfasts and dinners , all the staff of this hotel are cool guys
The third time we were in November 2023 and did not regret it because , as always , the service is at the highest level , the attitude is pleasant !! They go to a meeting on any issue and decide it in our favor !! The sea is wonderful , the sand is airy , the nature is as if we were in a corner of paradise !! Meals without delicacies (the price of the tour was very profitable!!) but a variety including fruits and sweets !! In general , we are already dreaming of visiting again !!!
We stayed at this hotel at the end of November! It was our honeymoon, we planned and thought about everything in advance (as congratulations, we were given funny tasteless dried cakes). What did you get in the end?! Utter disappointment! For an additional fee, we improved the room-we took a sea view. Looking at the sea was, one might say, our only entertainment at the hotel. It's very boring, there's no music on the pool. 2 girls barely sang a couple of times. You won't stay hungry for food, but the cuisine is monotonous, no seafood. The territory is clean, it can be seen that a streamlet used to flow, but for some reason it dried up, the pool is clean, everything is very sparse, the fountain is not a fountain at all at the entrance. The rooms are cleaned well and every day, but late after 16:00. In the evening, after dinner, lights out in the entire hotel. The beach is nice, the water is pleasant, BUT !! Jackdaws a huge number of jackdaws! they are not being chased, it is very strange, they are in the way! We swam to Snoopy Island, it's nearby - we saw reef sharks and beautiful fish there, it was interesting, it's scary to swim next to a shark. To sum up- No more in rotana, no more in Fujairah!
We rested at the hotel in late September, early October 2023. Upon arrival at the hotel (at 10.00), we had to wait for check-in, but we were offered lunch, after the road it was very convenient. The staff is very friendly. We were settled after 14.00 in a room with a category higher than the ordered one, presented as a complement from the hotel. Very nice! The territory is well-groomed, clean.. Cleaning was always carried out on time and efficiently. There are hints in Arabic and English throughout the room. what needs to be done to achieve the desired goals . Everything was fine with us, we didn't have to apply.
Since the beginning of October, animation has been a discovery for us (girls by the pool with exercises, evening solo performances on the beach, DJ by the pool), they wrote in the reviews that there is no animation, or the hotel introduces innovations, for which respect ...
The transfer is thoughtful, the driver Roopesh is very attentive, immediately offered to connect to the Internet, treated with water. On the way, seeing our interest in fruit stalls, he offered to stop for shopping.
About food, too, pyaterochka, everything is delicious and with love.
Another thing I liked was the work of the pool to the bottom. You can swim on the beach from 7.00 to 18.00, and in the pool until 23.00, it seems.
Do I recommend choosing this hotel? Definitely yes.
Do I want to come back here?
Definitely yes.
Nice hotel. It's boring in the evening, you definitely need to take ultra!
It's just right with the kids.
The territory is too small, but you can walk along the beach.
There is a good fish restaurant opposite.
Amazing hotel.
Repairs are fresh everywhere. Everything glitters: in the rooms, in the restaurant and by the pools.
The food is specific. It seems everything is delicious, but on the third day it gets boring. A small selection of dishes for lunch and dinner. The breakfasts are good. If you ask, they will bring additional soy or almond milk, nutella, chocolate syrup.
The acquaintance with the hotel began very unpleasantly: we were informed that the hotel was overbooking and we could not be provided with our family room. There were 4 adults and 2 children. Instead, they offered another two-room suite with one double bed and an ottoman. True, they promised to bring another bed, but 6 people would still not fit. Moreover, the hotel employee conducted the dialogue as if it was normal for their service. I consider this attitude towards guests unworthy of a 5* level hotel.
As a result, after a long bad conversation, we still found 2 rooms on different floors for 1 night with further relocation to our room. It is for this moment minus one star.
Otherwise, I really liked the hotel.
1st coastline, private beach with pleasant sand.
On the territory there is a shallow (from 60 to 150cm)swimming pool and water slide.
Children's club with toys, slides, PS-5. The children went every day with pleasure. But there is one caveat: the animators in the children's club are English-speaking, they practically do not speak Russian. Considering that 90% of the hotel is subjectively Russian-speaking, the animators have a problem communicating with children. The food is quite diverse: meat, sausages, fish, vegetables, fruits, children's menu.
The rooms are clean, cleaned daily.
There is a gym, sauna and hammam, but I have not visited them.
There is a free transfer to Fujairah, and again BUT: only 4 people 1 time a day. The queue is packed for a week ahead. But you can go to Hibba - there are supermarkets and clothes from China and India at very pleasant prices, they say that it is much cheaper than the same goods in Fujairah
Summary: very nice hotel.
To improve, you can increase transfers to Fujairah or Hibba
We had a rest in September of 23 years.The bay is gorgeous.There are umbrellas on the beach, but they are not enough.The rooms are large, comfortable, there are all shower accessories.The staff is friendly, there are Russian speakers.Transfer at the level , individual.We took everything included, we had enough.
I travel a lot, I've been to a lot of places, I've seen a lot of hotels. But this hotel deserves special respect. Visiting different countries and staying in different hotels, you notice some disadvantages, it was so good in this hotel that there was simply nothing to complain about. It's just heaven on earth!!!
Nice hotel. A gently sloping sandy beach, there are enough sunbeds, but they quickly end on the first line. The food is also good, breakfast is a little limited, but everything is standard, except perhaps cottage cheese and sour cream. The rooms are spacious, all with sea views, cleaned regularly and efficiently. Toiletries (dental kit) they are not issued in advance, they need to be requested.
A quiet hotel for a relaxing holiday. Without discos and loud animation. Clean beach, pleasant sea. Quite close buoys were upset (you can't really swim with them, I shook circles along them like in a pool. Delicious food! Very diverse, often Asian, Oriental cuisine
The hotel is good in terms of service, cleanliness, attentive staff. But according to nutrition 4. The food is monotonous, in sauces, so I didn't like it. From seafood, only fish was for 8 days and then not every day. There is nowhere much to go outside the hotel . The sea and the beach, the territory is a fairy tale.
A good, decent hotel. Not intrusive animation. A magnificent beach, a wonderful ocean. Nice rooms. The food is without frills, but everything is enough "with a head".
The hotel is cozy, we had a rest in November. It seemed to us that the food was monotonous, but in general, if you don't find fault, everything is fine. There is a Russian-speaking staff at the reception.
The usual simple five with a large territory, there are many different activities on the territory for guests. Three ala restaurant maps. The service is so-so.
The lobby will be renovated in 2024
A large mini club for children from 4 years old
There are remnants of fuel oil in the sea (in general, the hotel itself is not bad. The departure coincided with lunch, the restaurant was no longer allowed. It's not a very pleasant moment.
We rested here in February 2022. A great place to relax in winter! Very comfortable weather, warm ocean, gorgeous beach!
The hotel itself is large and spacious, with a green area. A good restaurant with a large selection of dishes. There is no separate children's menu, but there is always something to feed the kids.
There is a desert and a road behind the hotel. You can walk along the shore and see other hotels. But we thought our hotel was the best!
My review will be short:
The sea and the beach 5, the room we lived in a bungalow -5 (do not forget to turn on the water heating, otherwise you will wash with cold water), food -3, we are not eaters, it was not so scary for us, but objectively the choice is very small, the same fish, meat cutlets, monotonous salads and sweets, ice cream is very rare, as a result of a queue of children. According to the all-inclusive program, cocktails are free only those that you don't want.
But the giant beaches where you can walk for hours, run to meet the dawn are just super. And of course a stunning garden with singing birds, true, and impudent crows, but they are very cute))
