Stay 27.01. - 30.01. 4 days, Budget - 40 tr, travel agency Van and San The weather is great, sunny, hot, 25-26 °C to 29 °C, sometimes windy, 18-19 °C at night, there was no rain, clouds were walking. The transfer plane is Arabic, comfort +, very decent, new, with meals. A comfortable minibus takes about two hours from Dubai Airport to the hotel. Everything is organized clearly. hotel. It's a nine-story building on the outskirts of the city, with a highway nearby, but you can barely hear it in the room. There is a construction site all around, the hotel does not have its own territory, there is a direct exit to the road.There is a beautiful mountain range in the distance behind the hotel. There are many cafes, shops, fast food shops, a pharmacy nearby. I could change the dollars somewhere nearby, but I didn't need to. The city is beautiful in the evening, full of illumination, mountain ranges in the distance, landscape. The hotel is decent, clean, equipped, lined with marble, luxury elevators. There is a fitness room with a treadmill, bike, and strength training. Conditioner. There is a spa. The staff is helpful, friendly, and always ready to help. There are Russian-speaking admins at the reception. The hotel is mostly inhabited by Russians. Number I had a 15m apartment with a kitchen, a double bed, a tea set, an electric kettle, a tile, a refrigerator, and a TV.The air conditioner is powerful, it was not needed in winter. Wi-Fi is strong, uninterrupted and works throughout the hotel and in the gym. The plumbing is in order, everything is comfortable, no bells and whistles, and it's not new anymore. There is a hair dryer. Shampoos and gels are available, but you don't have to take them with you.The water is cold, hot, the shower is glass, everything is fine. The disadvantage is that there is no heated towel rail - it is not clear how to dry things - this makes the bathroom a little humid. There are dishes for cooking for two, plates, one small cup. They clean up, as I understand it, every other day, when cleaning is needed, you can put up a sign, or "do not disturb" is convenient. Every day they put bottled water, give tea bags, coffee, sugar. If you have a phone number, you can contact the reception. The sockets are strange, our plugs don't fit, I didn't know how to plug in the charger - an electrician came and brought an adapter. Minus - audibility from the hallway, you can hear how they drive, rattle cleaning. In general, there were few people at that time, mostly from Russia, sometimes local Arabs. nutrition Budget, economy. It's more like a dining room, nothing at all. A poor buffet, one kind of juice, vegetables, watermelon, some kind of porridge, beans, cheese, sausages, egg.There is a coffee machine. I only had breakfast, I can't say anything else. The service was also zero - sometimes there were crumbs on the tables, I had to look for a fork and a napkin. Anyone who needs gourmet food is not here. That's exactly what I need - I'm struggling with weight. I took a portion in a bowl for the evening. beach Public. Excellent, well-equipped, comfortable, modern. All kinds of cafes, a great recreation area - you can sit in the palm trees and admire the sea (Gulf of Oman), plus a Playground. The beach is wide, long, sandy, sloping, the water is warm for winter at this time - it seemed to me 21-22 degrees, went in without stress, crystal clear, very salty, expels, easy to swim or just lie on your back. The sea is calm, there was no storm. I noticed that there are tides here. On the last day, the water went somewhere far away, the shore was exposed, interestingly. The approach is long, shallow, the ideal sandy bottom is great for children, for adults you need to go further away - I swam for an hour every day, no sharks - but there are no corals, reefs with fish like in Egypt either. If you swim further away, you will see a picturesque panorama of the shore - palm trees against the backdrop of beautiful pointed mountains in the distance - I just need that - you lie on the water and admire. They say a lot of turtles - I saw them once - swam past me sticking their heads out on the surface, there's even a chepepash island somewhere in Fujairah. The beach itself is spacious and clean, there are few people at this time, Russian is spoken all around, sometimes local Arabs come in - the women are all in black and do not undress) THE DISADVANTAGE is that you can't walk to the beach - it's cut off by the highway, there are no crossings (strange!), you can only run across the road with a hare - but you can get a fine of 1000 (30tr) They take a bus transfer three times a day - plus - the bus is comfortable, comfortable, modern, it only takes five minutes to drive, and they give out a huge towel and water at the reception. In general, there is no public transport in the city or very little, mostly taxis are everywhere, they impose services, they say you can order through the application, but I didn't need it. Additionally. The services of a fitness room are provided free of charge, and a spa salon is available for a fee. There is a transfer to the city - to the Mall - there is a spa center with a swimming pool and sauna on the top floor, on the roof under the open sky, there is a hammam, a Jacuzzi, in general everything is modern and comfortable, sun beds with umbrellas, towels are provided. The service is free, the transfer is daily in the evening back and forth on a comfortable bus, the journey takes ten minutes, excellent. The hotel does not provide any more entertainment or excursions, but that was enough for me. In general, I enjoyed the rest, everything is fine for such a budget. It's a big plus for me, I'm a fan of outdoor activities - a gym with a track, a sauna, I'm busy all day.The stated conditions are almost fulfilled, the hotel is a solid three stars. Among the DISADVANTAGES - there is no heated towel rail in the bathroom, food (but for me this is just a plus), the lack of a well-equipped area around the hotel, the inability to go to the beach on your own at any time, evening walks to the embankment are impossible, which is a pity.. The treadmill in the gym sometimes glitches and turns off, but in the end it was adjusted, the rest of the cardio equipment, as it turned out, did not work. Room cleaning every other day. And of course, the impossibility of visiting the beach on your own. Lovers of increased comfort, luxury, restaurants, bars, in-room menus, excursions and entertainment are clearly not here. It's modest and quiet here, rather for older people or people of a hiking and tourist disposition like me, without any claims to special amenities. In general, the arrival here is optimal for 4-6 days, then it will be boring, 4 days were enough for me, the rest for such a budget turned out to be excellent, which I wish to everyone.

For unassuming tourists. I liked. It is very convenient that there is an equipped kitchen, several pots. A good refrigerator and a two-burner stove. Therefore, take care of such things in advance. Plates, cutlery. There is no dishwashing detergent and sponge. If you plan to cook, take it with you. There is no cutting board and other small things. There is no salt or oil. There are several small supermarkets within walking distance. Across the street there is a shopping center with an exchange and a large Carefour supermarket. We bought fruits, vegetables, and shrimps there (they can also peel them there). The studio is small, but it was enough for two of us. The bed is comfortable, the bed linen is snow-white. The breakfasts were modest, but they were not hungry. On the first day I asked to make an omelet, they did. But then they refused, only boiled eggs. Rice or noodles are insular, oatmeal with milk, sausages, beans in tomato sauce. Slicing sausage and cheese. Cucumbers, tomatoes, unripe melon, oranges or watermelon. Very tasty pastries. The information sheet said that breakfast was from 8:30, but in fact at 8:00 people already had breakfast. Transfer to the beach at 10:30 and 15:15. In fact, the bus usually arrives 15 minutes later. We walked to Umbrella Beach 2 km away. But you have to cross two 6-lane roads. There are no pedestrian crossings. The beach is not equipped with sun loungers and sun beds. The hotel provides beach towels, lying gently on the sand. There is garbage in places, but not critically. The beach is still being cleaned. The sea is shallow, the bottom is soft sandy. There is a shower and two toilets on the embankment, 7 cafes. A pleasant place to walk. In case of strong waves, the beach is closed. In such cases, we went to a wild fishing beach. The main problem in the hotel is high humidity. Because of this, things don't dry out. The windows don't open. The room smells damp. When you come in, it hits you right in the nose, but then you get used to it. Every day at 16:40 they take you to the 5* hotel of the Royal M chain, where there is a swimming pool, sauna, Jacuzzi. There is also an entrance directly to the shopping center from the hotel. The arrival time is only 2 hours, at least on my trip. Overall, the hotel is not bad, I recommend it. But keep in mind that you will be picked up at the airport about 6 hours before departure.
