If you are going to this hotel and reading reviews. After my review, you don't have to read any more. Definitely YES! the location is great. The market, singing fountains, cafes, gorgeous views from all rooms of the hotel. Excellent food. Cleanliness, polite staff. Nice heated pool. Hammam, sauna, Jacuzzi. A huge territory with a tennis court, basketball court, table tennis. Every day there is a free bus to the gorgeous beach. And in the Sharjah mall.

Great vacation. The hotel is good. The location is acceptable (we rented a car). It's 7 minutes to the sea. You can also use a round-trip shuttle service. The breakfasts/dinners are of high quality, but there is no variety. I recommend the hotel. Thank you.

We stayed at the hotel from 04/08/24 for two weeks. The hotel has a very poorly organized transfer to the beach! There are constant queues, everyone is pushing, climbing out of line, in order to leave, the queue must take 40 minutes before departure, since the bus is very small and accommodates only half of those who wish. There is an alternative by taxi for 400 rubles one way. We "tried" the transfer for a couple of days, and decided to take a taxi so as not to spoil our vacation with this nightmare! The hotel has a very poor breakfast, only an omelette and boiled eggs and watermelon are edible) tomatoes and melon are constantly green, paper sausages. I have been to many countries, the hotel does not correspond to 4 stars! After the flooding on April 17, the pool was closed for 3 days, there was no transfer to the beach and Dubai for several days, there was no way out of the hotel, everything was flooded, they were not in a hurry to pump out the water. They were able to leave the hotel only two days later, they found a way around. And so everyone walked above the ankles on the water, with the smell of sewage. There is no organization, even if they put up a bridge! People have been sitting on sun beds by the non-working pool for 2 days, they can't leave the hotel! As in the conclusion!It turned out to be a good vacation! I do not recommend the hotel!

We just arrived. A great hotel, the breakfasts are ordinary, but we are unpretentious. Cleaning every day, with the replacement of towels every day, the chemistry is normal, even the solfettes on the balcony in the room have two boxes. It is not entirely clear that you will be given a towel to the beach strictly before 9.00, the last bus is at 9.30 and if you came at 9.20 they will not give you any more, and if you wanted to sleep longer, have breakfast and take a taxi to the beach, you overslept the towel, a very strange inexplicable position. Although Bamsey is given until 21.00. A gorgeous view from the balcony, but just immediately ask to wash the stained glass window, since it is very dirty, they apparently do not wash them.

I liked the hotel. Location next to the lagoon, shops nearby. A good room, there was a small nuance in the form of stagnant water in the sink, but not critical. Food, pool, staff - all without complaints. The only thing for the child was a little island, but there were always pasta, potatoes, vegetables, fruits, so I didn't starve)

I really liked the hotel, the room has everything you need, including an iron and ironing board, there are markets and shops not far from the hotel, there is also a park and a promenade. The view from the balcony is amazing. There was no information anywhere about whether it was possible to smoke in the hotel or not, but it turned out that it was possible on the balcony, which was very important specifically for me... There is a shuttle service from the hotel to Deira, but you need to make an appointment for it earlier.

I am resting now in this hotel. The hotel is super. I'll be back again. And the food is good, the beach is bomb, the staff is not all, but they speak Russian. Everyone prompts, helps. Towels for the beach and for the pool are provided free of charge. The Internet is normal. Water is provided, a hammam and a sauna are free by the pool according to the schedule. Ahmet at the reception will solve any question. There are a lot of Russians. We all communicate with each other. Thanks to the hotel for a great stay. And there are soap and soap accessories in the room. Body lotion including. There is an iron in the room, a blackboard too.

A good hotel, near a park, a lagoon, a gold market, in short, there is somewhere to walk. The hotel itself is for all 4+, excellent staff, some speak Russian. The hotel has a swimming pool, a small gym, a wonderful restaurant, do not wake up hungry. One small thing, BUT I had a rest in early July there is about +45 for me, it's too much, condors save, there are buses to the beach at 9:00 arrives at 13:30, but I was already on the beach at 6 am in the afternoon it is impossible for me, the temperature of the Persian Gulf is +33. I went to the beach by taxi, it's inexpensive. Thank you very much to all the staff of the hotel for the excellent service and rest.

We had a rest for the New Year. The hotel itself is no longer new, but the hotel staff is trying very hard. Cleaning every day, 2 bottles of 0.5 water daily.Tea and coffee are added. There is a heated swimming pool. Towels are provided for both the pool and the beach. There are enough sun beds.Near the embankment, you can take a walk in the evening. There are singing fountains nearby. There is a shuttle service to the beach. I didn't like the beach itself, there is no vegetation and at the time of our vacation it was very shallow. You won't stay hungry in a restaurant. You need to know that there is no tea for dinner, but you can always brew it in the room and bring it with you. I advise you to relax at the hotel, if you don't mind the beach.

I liked the hotel. The room is large, two wide beds, a table with armchairs. The kettle, coffee, cream, water are all replenished. We have a balcony overlooking the lagoon and the pool, it was so nice to sit there in the morning. Yes, the minus is the bathroom. The water pours after the shower.we sometimes went to the beach by bus, more often by taxi. Always on the counter 16drx.the bus station is nearby, we took the bus ourselves twice to Dubai and to Abu Dhabi on our own. I recommend the hotel, we liked everything.

Excellent location, near the park, the embankment, and the water park + amusement park, which is almost completely empty on weekdays!
The hotel: the cleaning is weak, only the dirt was carried with a dirty mop, all the dust and hair on the floor)) breakfast, lunch and dinner are almost the same every day. No frills. Filter coffee, tea, juice for breakfast. For lunch, drinks are only water and juice, there is no tea.
The beach that bass takes you to is quite normal, there is a playground for children.
In general, the hotel is a solid three))) you can tighten it up:-)

Nice hotel. Delicious breakfasts. The pool is open until 9 pm. Steam room Jacuzzi hammam shower everything is free. The rooms are clean and don't stink. The reception is always in touch. Large parking lot. The hotel is located in a green area where it is quiet and peaceful. The view from the balcony from the upper floors is amazing. Especially from those that look directly at the bay, you can see everything both to the right and to the left, and at night it's generally super.

Great hotel. He has a solid four. A very responsive terminal. There are Russian speakers. A good choice of buffet. We were with the children, calmly let them go to the pool alone - there are always those looking after the safety in the pool. They take you to the beach. They also take you to Deira, from there by metro to Burj Khalifa. Accommodation with a view of the bay. I would love to return to this hotel.

After reading the reviews, I knew what to be ready for.
1. Check-in. We arrived at 9 a.m., we were issued immediately, they said the meeting was at 14, but in the end they settled us at 12.
2. A room with a view of the lagoon, but what I didn't want most of all, I got - an adjacent door to another room. I went to the reception and asked for a room change. The arrogant receptionist began to assure that no one would live in the next room, and our room would be quiet. My stupid guide from Anex was standing next to me - by the way, I don't recommend it to anyone - I bred it from the Turkish market. And the guide also assured that there would be no check-in in the next room. As a result, the neighbors turned out to be Arabs who were listening loudly to the TV and smoking on the balcony, which caused all the smoke to come towards us. With the scandal, on the second day I still knocked out another number, which turned out to be many times better.
3. The cleanliness of the first room was questionable, the mugs had to be washed, there were stains from other people's fingers on the cabinet. In the second room, everything turned out to be clean.
4. In the first room there were not even glasses for toothbrushes, I had to improvise.
5. Drain the bathroom. That's horrible. How could it be so stupid to design and build. Yes, every shower turns into a flood.
6. I feel terribly sorry for the cleaners, who have to suffer from this consequence of the bathroom every day.
7. The pool is super.
8. Breakfasts are scarce. Even hotels in the Leningrad region bypass, it would seem, the UAE in breakfast. On the 4th day, I was already sick of this food. Nothing has changed in a week, except that the pancakes have disappeared.
9. I didn't take lunches and dinners, we went next door to a restaurant with an excellent Swedish area.
10. The gym doesn't work - it's a fiasco.
11. There are a lot of seals in the pool area. Therefore, always take a few sausages with you from breakfast- the seals will be happy.
Will I come back here? If the price is very low and there are no alternatives. Purposefully, no.

Sunbeds, umbrellas are paid on the beach, but no one takes expensive. The bus to the sea is not convenient to review, please take away at 9.00 take 13.30. Now it's not convenient to bake, an hour and a half and we can't stand it. Taxi 16 dirhams. I like everything. Thanks

Good service, excellent location, view of the lagoon, Ferris wheel, palm trees, gorgeous location. But the breakfasts from 6 days did not differ in any way, monotony, fruits are ordinary melons, watermelons pineapple rings from a jar. Russian Russian is cleaned every day, the girls at the reception understand Russian, but it is better to download a Russian - English translator for those who do not know English. Opposite the hotel is a butterfly park, creepers, huge butterflies, beautiful, picturesque, and there a guy makes videos and photos if asked)

I had a rest in this hotel on the tour from Anex from April 15 to 23. I really liked the hotel - it turns out that it was opened literally by Dima after renovation - everything is new, neat and clean. My meals were half-board - varied both at breakfast and at dinner (this is purely my opinion). There is a palm grove near the hotel - you can walk there, however, there are a lot of visiting workers from other countries who look at you as a Martian, not a particularly pleasant feeling ((
The hotel has a swimming pool with sun loungers, after lunch you can lie there, as the transfer to the beach is only in the morning.
In the evening, it's nice to sit with a cup of tea in the lounge area by the pool. The hotel left a pleasant impression. The staff is attentive and friendly)

Not a bad hotel. There is a beautiful park nearby, you can take a walk in the evening. There is a football field, a sauna next to the pool, which can be used until late in the evening. Unfortunately, children are not allowed in the sauna. There is a kettle, a refrigerator, and even an ironing board in the room. Water, tea bags and coffee were replenished every day. But there are a lot of disadvantages. Transfer to the beach only in the morning. If you want to take a taxi in the evening. I liked the breakfasts, but the dinners leave much to be desired. The food for dinner runs out very quickly. You need to come to the beginning. The fruits for dinner were apples, sometimes there were inedible pears and plums. It is served differently for the local population. There is some kind of inequality.) But maybe they are resting on a different system. Don't know. I probably don't want to return to this hotel again.

I can recommend this hotel. Of course, it is not on line 1, but buses to Al Khan beach (10 min) in the morning there and from 13:00 back to the hotel. In addition, there is always a line of taxis (15 dirhams to the beach, also back). The most pleasant thing about this hotel is a 5-star view of the lagoon, if you are lucky or you are strongly, but kindly, ask to be accommodated on this side of the hotel (attention, an additional fee will be required, but not much). It's quiet there (a slight hum of cars from the road on the opposite side of the lagoon 1.5 km away from you). It doesn't tire you out. And what sunsets are visible from there! We took full board. Everything is edible. Of course, there were not many delicacies in the food, but everything was sound, satisfying and delicious. There is a swimming pool in the courtyard, there is also a steam room and a Jacuzzi (by appointment, women and men separately). The Dubai Mall is 45-50 minutes away, depending on traffic (longer in the evening). You can save money on excursions to Miracle Garden and Global Village (great places to spend time after lunch). They are offered for $ 70/person. There were three of us and we just bought tickets there via the Internet (about 100 dirhams per person to one and another place) and took a taxi for 100 dirhams to the Garden. Closer to 17:00, we went to the Global Village, where many pavilions from different countries and continents are represented. We also took a sightseeing bus tour of Dubai places with a guide. It is inexpensive, but informative. By the way, you won't have to walk much. At the end of the tour, a delightful yacht trip to the bay and the city. The night city is magical.

We were in the UAE for the first time, I chose the hotel based on reviews. We liked everything, there are some flaws, but this is not a top five, everything is worthy for its 4 stars. We took only breakfast, everything was very tasty and satisfying. A huge plus is the balcony and the view) It's far from the beach but it's mostly in all the hotels. We had a great rest, we will definitely come back again!)

Excursions were taken from Dima, he sits at the entrance to the beach, is $ 20 cheaper than hotel guides,he has a car,brings, walks everywhere with you, takes pictures,helps,tells stories, a very nice man,the tour turns out to be individual,everything was very pleasant.I would have returned to this hotel.

We were at the hotel in early March 2024
Location: 1.5 hours walk to the sea.
To get to Dubai by bus from 1 hour and to ... it depends on the traffic. It took three hours to get back from the Union Metro by bus. I think it will be the same by taxi (there is one road), but the price is different.
The decoration of the hotel is very good, but everything is worn and greasy. The floors in the room are not washed at all.
There is a big problem with towels. The cleaner takes them away, but does not leave clean ones. We have to go to the reception. And so it is every time.
The breakfasts correspond to 4.
In general, the hotel is a three-star hotel.

We rested in this nice hotel for 6 days, there were only breakfasts from the food, so I can objectively say only-only them, there is a lot of food, everything is fresh, there is plenty to choose from. The hotel after renovation, fresh renovation, everything is neat, but renovation is not a new building, apparently some problems still remain. Personally, in our room in the shower, water pours all over the San node, which is not very pleasant and aesthetically pleasing. Also, there were no more problems in the pool, namely, sand at the bottom and a strip of dirt and Fats on the water surface along the water line, when a child in a white jacket touched the edge of the pool, it became very unpleasant ((( and smoothed out all the positive emotions about the hotel. In general, the hotel is not bad, and the location is convenient, and the embankment and markets with shops are very close. But still, the hotel is 4 stars and you should not expect a fifth from it.

I liked the hotel. Breakfasts and dinners did not disappoint. Even our eternally hungry teenage son ate too much. The room is small, but the cot bed fits. However, we had to connect a local guide from the host company, as they wanted to add a cot to the payment, although 3 people were paid for in the voucher. The territory itself is conveniently located on the shore of the bay, near a park with palm trees and lawns, on the other side there is a market, everything is nearby!

I do not recommend the hotel!I didn't like the hotel!!! It's not 4* for Dubai, probably 2*.
1. At sea, the transfer is tinny, people don't care, there is only one bus, everyone climbs into it like victims. He drives alone, those who did not get in stand in the sun for 30 minutes waiting for him to return and the same from the sea.. I didn't like it at all!
2. The food for me is so-so, you won't stay hungry, but for 4 * it's not about anything at all, fruits don't replenish at all, if you came at 18:30 (the beginning of dinner) you ate, later nothing will happen. Why is there no coffee and tea in the evening? Sweet with water and juice like yuppie. And it's 4*!!! Again, there are few tables, they are poorly cleaned, sometimes there is a queue in the dining room.
3. The pool is normal. I liked the sauna, the Jacuzzi is old, semi-working. All the rooms are for pensioners, there is not even music..
4. The rooms are tin. They don't clean at all. In 8 days, 1 time was removed!! There is no toilet paper, only 2 towels. There are 2 waters. Although 2 vz + reb lived in our room. The shower is broken, water is flowing everywhere.. the ashtray was brought for the 4th day of stay, they do not wash the dishes in the rooms, they washed everything themselves. Upon arrival, they refused to check in!!!, They were sent to a nearby hotel. I probably should have gone, since it turned out to be such a tin. Although people complained from that hotel too that he had nothing to talk about. The hotel is not conveniently located. There is no free transfer to Dubai mall. Just a taxi.
This is not my first time in Dubai, there is something to compare it with. I do not recommend this hotel 100%. I'm a fan of flying abroad and have been to a lot of places, and I've just decided to write a review for the first time in my life. Because I'm really outraged! And I did not meet such a person at 4*. And it's a pity that the first review is like this. I hope the hotel management will take action.
P.S. in general, I am not very annoying, I have been to similar 3* hotels in Turkey, but at least I would have expected it there. But here Dubai is not cheap and 4 * is still ... tin of course. The vacation was not a success this time....
Think 100 times before coming here.
Thanks for your attention

The hotel is renovated, but everything is clearly visible that it is not the first freshness. Leaky bed linen, no cleaning
A heated pool is declared, in winter, but no one heats anything, the water is icy, it is not possible to swim, one of the selection criteria was a heated pool for a child
Some kind of game with the issuance of towels for the beach, from 7 to 9 in the morning, if you don't have time, you won't take it, and you can't take a towel for the pool to the beach, a fine
Tea, coffee only in the morning, lunch and dinner there is no tea, no coffee, only one kind of juice
