Nice hotel. Everything is clean, in the restaurant, on site, in the rooms and on the beach. The territory is very small, but quite cozy. You can go beyond the territory along the embankment and find many restaurants on the way to Dubai, you can go along the embankment to Ajman towards the hotels, there are also restaurants at the end, but it's a long way to go to them, but a beautiful view of a small bay. All the staff speaks English well enough, Russian is very bad, but they try. Everyone is trying their best for the guests, smiling, friendly, helpful. But the entrance to the 9th floor is only for VIP guests who have reached a certain level of Marriott Bonvoy, I was not even allowed to look. The hotel operates on different food systems, I had all inclusive, but it's not the same as in Turkey or Tunisia or Egypt, it's worth considering. Most of the things in the hotel are in extra charge, there is only one thing in the room that can be selected from the complimentary list: a sewing kit, a shaving kit, etc. The beach is clean with good umbrellas and sun beds, clean. There is a kind of pier and breakwaters, but they are not allowed on the pier. The water is very shallow before lunch, and after lunch it is acceptable. Probably all hotels in the UAE have such specifics of providing services, but it was unusual for me, but my stay at this hotel was quite a success.
There are many positive reviews written about this hotel! Really, a great hotel for a family holiday! The service, varied meals, staff, rooms and the outside area are all at the highest level! There is always a Russian-speaking agent with excursion programs in the reception area - I really can't tell you the prices. Buses run several times a day to major shops in the city. The hotel is adjacent to the city promenade with a soft running track about 3 km long along the coast. However, you will not find tennis palms here... The city beaches closest to the hotel are equipped with free toilets and showers. But the hotel's beach with sun loungers and soft sand is, of course, better than urban beaches. Although it is very pleasant to walk along the water's edge anywhere!!! The only thing is that if you go on excursions, the hotel is quite far from the most famous attractions of the UAE and the transfer to Dubai and beyond is not the cheapest. Keep this in mind when choosing a hotel.
I am currently staying at this hotel 2.04.24. The overall impression is not bad. The advantages are an excellent form factor, a small but very well-groomed territory, gorgeous pools surrounded by palm trees, for children and older with a depth of 70-90 cm and a small paddling pool for kids under the roof, which is great, a large adult pool overlooking the sea, very clean, which is important. In the evening, the palm trees are illuminated with garlands, the pools are also illuminated, very beautifully. The rooms are large and comfortable, there is a bathtub, a shower, a toilet with a bidet, comfortable mattresses, fresh bed linen, not worn, a huge plasma with Internet access, YouTube and so on, no problem. Wi-Fi is good throughout the territory. The beach is small but cozy, the sand is shallow, the approach is gentle , the kids are fine, sun beds with umbrellas are free, towels are given out, but you need to borrow, the first day underestimated our compatriots, came at 8 a.m. barely found on the last line far from the sea, went to borrow at 7.
There is a Russian-speaking employee at the reception, and taxis are always on duty near the hotel. Cons - the food is not close to 5 stars, of course you will not be hungry, but also do not spoil, the choice is not rich 2-3 hot dishes, salad and fruits are not rich. I was surprised on the first day at dinner I wanted to take tea, (they took breakfast dinners) no, they said that tea was only according to the Old inclusive system, drink water and fruit drinks, 2 times the watermelon drink was fermented, they did not dare to drink, at breakfast queues for scrambled eggs for 10 people , coffee is natural but tasteless dechman. There is something to compare, we started our vacation in Dubai at Radisson Blu, where the breakfast was bombastic, red fish, Brie cheese, the choice is huge, the coffee is excellent - here it is a complete disappointment. The second minus is cleaning the rooms, maybe we were so unlucky, we took 2 rooms on the 2nd floor, cleaned only when you catch them on the floor, yesterday, for example, we left immediately after breakfast for the whole day at the zoo, arrived at 4 p.m., the cleaners did not enter any of the rooms, although they rub in the morning on the floor, I had to talk in raised tones and make round eyes growl at the reception!!, when the cleaning takes place, you notice that they clean so-so, in the children's room, glasses after soda were not washed, just turned over, in the bathroom the mirror was splattered with toothpaste, also not wiped, so, the beds are made, vacuumed to towels are changed. To sum up, the family-friendly hotel is very good, it's great to relax with children for a few days without fuss, the food and service are lame, we chose between it and the coral next door, it's good that we chose this one, since there is a construction site next to the coral on the other side, we saw through the window how dust is blowing on the hotel.
