We’ve been staying at the end of April. Clean rooms, good service. I’d give 4*
The buffet had a big variety of dishes at any taste. But it’s better to come until 8 pm, otherwise you’ll meet some dishes cold.
The bathroom had problems with hot water, we had to wait 5-7 mins till it’s warm/hot.

We were at the Media Rotana hotel from October 8 to October 14, "all inclusive". Amazing responsive staff, very attentive, the food is excellent, there are three restaurants to choose from, cocktails at the pool bar, cleaned every day. In general, we visited like in paradise. The price is the same as it would be in Turkey for three, we are infinitely grateful, I hope we will come again!

We stayed at this hotel in early February 2024. I liked the hotel. Well-groomed, green area. The beach is clean, spacious, lots of sunbeds, the water is very clean. The hotel staff is very good-natured and helpful. Special thanks to Kazi, Shanuka, Mousa, Hamdi, Rizvan and all the employees of the restaurant in the main building of the hotel. We were satisfied with the rest. Further prosperity to the hotel.

We didn't get around to write a review, we had a family vacation with a child in early October 2023. In the Emirates for the second time. The hotel is more suitable for a stopover at work, but not for a vacation, especially for a family.
Positive:
Great food, I'm picky in this regard, but it was all sooo delicious! BUT: about 60-70% of the food is spicy. Good alcohol. Upon request, they brought popular cocktails with a smile and for free. The service is excellent, the waiters are just smart guys!!! Hard workers! And also the chefs, very friendly, used to take the plates out of their hands to put what we need ourselves))) I would like to mention the waiters Thashila, narinder, imran, saiful, thank them very much, thanks only to them I put 3.
I would like to thank Osman separately. This young guy is worth his weight in gold, this hotel does not deserve such an employee. He patiently fussed with us, solving any problems, always with a smile, we remember him with great warmth.
That's where the advantages ended.
Minuses:
Upon arrival, we were greeted by a cockroach and a dirty, dusty room. Looking ahead, it was still a great number. The windows don't open. The room had panoramic windows and it was cool to observe the life of the city. The dust at the safe was like that for the entire time of her stay, no one wiped it off.
A few days later, the cockroach returned. Here we already freaked out and asked for another number. We are given a room, supposedly premium, in the second building. The stench of mustiness, because of the stupid layout, it seems even smaller than before, although it is already 53 m, the curtains are dirty, the windows are small. The TV does not read the USB, the remote control does not work. The lights are blinking. Mold in the bathroom.
A basket of fruits (which are already in bulk in the restaurant) and a greeting on the TV - that's the end of the premium.
Friendly workers immediately resorted to all these issues, but no one did anything. The boys do not clean well.
BEACH:
Extremely far from the sea. There is a free transfer to the popular beach with a Ferris wheel in the hottest weather at 11 o'clock or so. There may not be enough places there.
No sun beds, the water is stagnant, dirty, with a greasy film!!!
I wanted to cry, I obviously didn't want to swim in IT all my vacation.
I took the transfer at about 13 hours, the temperature was 42 degrees, the child became ill, we did not fit into two transfers, and the next one was already at 16 hours, we had to catch a taxi for $ 100!!!
We found the nearest beach, the water is clean, there are very few people. We went there every day by taxi. It turned out to be about 500 rubles in one direction. Taxi drivers can take you in 3 minutes, or they can roll, wind the meter for 15 minutes. Be vigilant. It is not difficult to catch a taxi on the road, just carefully shake off the sand, otherwise they take it reluctantly.
They gave breakfast to the airport - it's 4 small muffins each.
The children's room was not working.
Cocktails could be drunk by the pool for free, and tips were left.
We won't be back for sure)))

The hotel is located near the metro. Taxis are always on duty at the entrance. Across the street is a minimarket with a wide selection. There is a liquor store nearby. There are cafes and restaurants in the area. The lobby and corridors are clean. The staff is friendly.
The rooms are spacious, bright but without balconies. We lived in a room with a separate bedroom and, which was very pleasing, there were two bathrooms. The large, main one has a bathroom, a shower cabin and a bidet.
The rooms are cleaned daily and of high quality.

(+): the food is good, there is a subway nearby
(-): the rooms are tired, extremely uncomfortable beds and pillows, dirty, the pool is not bad, but it is located between high-rise buildings, there is a constant draft, you need to change into the pool in the toilet to order breakfast with you at early check-out, they demanded to write an email, eventually they replied with an unsubscribe.
The booking contains information about a free transfer to the nearest shopping center and a bunch of other advantages, but everything is extremely unfriendly to the guest, if you don't know something, then there are no options except to ask at the reception, and to ask, you need to know about the possibilities.
Bottom line: the hotel got no options in the package tour, unfortunately, I do not recommend it

Hello everyone.
By tradition, I start with what I liked.
The hotel is located near the metro. Taxis are always on duty at the entrance. Across the street is a minimarket with a wide selection. There is a liquor store nearby. There are cafes and restaurants in the area. The lobby and corridors are clean. The staff is friendly.
The rooms are spacious, bright but without balconies. We lived in a room with a separate bedroom and, which was very pleasing, there were two bathrooms. The large, main one has a bathroom, a shower cabin and a bidet.
The rooms are cleaned daily and of high quality.
Great gym. SPA complex with mini sauna and the same tiny steam room. You can order personal treatments. There is an outdoor pool and sun loungers.
An open veranda with a bar and tables.
From what is not very.
The hotel is occupied by 30-40% by Russian-speaking vacationers, and at the reception of eight administrators, only one spoke Russian and then worked once every three days.
On the 16th floor, we had to wait for hot water to flow. The shower stall has very low sides and the door is loosely attached. Therefore, if you splash enough, then a decent puddle will flow on the floor.
The breakfasts are pretty monotonous. The choice of dishes is small. Half of the tables are in the narrow aisle between the windows and the Swedish line.
There is no outdoor shower next to the pool. To rinse off before or after visiting the pool, you have to stomp either in the SPA or in the shower in the toilet. The water in the pool is muddy.

There is an electric kettle with coffee brewing in the room. The staff is also polite. The location is also convenient to all locations.

We were here from 03.01-06.01.2024, the location of the hotel is excellent, the rest is very questionable. The staff at the reception does not approach their duties professionally. Upon arrival, the city tax was paid, it was clarified that there was no need to pay anything anymore, when leaving the hotel it turned out that they forgot to calculate VAT, tax. Also, upon leaving the hotel, it turned out that they ordered an extra dinner, although we were not at the hotel these days in the evening, as there were evening excursions - they searched for dinner receipts for a very long time, eventually they did not find them, apologized, cockroaches were running in the rooms, went down, the room was changed on the same floor, just did not they began to pay more attention to cockroaches. When booking, the age of the children was specified, the rooms were given with a small sofa, that is, they did not provide for extra troubles. In the restaurant for lunch, the food was not always brought to readiness, fish and meat.

We were here with our son and nephew. I really liked the hotel, the large room, good food and service. The location is convenient for those who want to go sightseeing, there is a heated swimming pool. This hotel was recommended to me by the tour operator's managers, who visited it themselves. I have good impressions.

Excellent hotel, vacationed from March 3-12, 2023. Wonderful hearty, delicious breakfasts. A large selection - eggs in different variations, poached eggs, red salmon fish - every day, fresh fruits and vegetables. And what kind of cheeses they have, mmm.There is no shortage of food, everything is replenished quickly. A lot of healthy food and even vegan (yogurt, soy milk). For dinner, water from drinks is served, very convenient. I also liked the dinners, always cream soup with crackers for children. White rice without additives) also for children), potatoes, once there was even mashed potatoes (very tasty)- I write this for children)) there is beef and chicken. We ate watermelons, melons, passion fruit). Fruits were also whole- it is convenient to take to the beach.
The rooms are spacious, clean (the windows are only dirty). Cleaning every day. They brought water, replenished tea with coffee. There is everything you need, you didn't even use your own. A good shampoo, balm, body lotion. There is also a shaving kit. Bathrobes and slippers.
The metro is 7 minutes away. We didn't go to the beach by shuttle, the TC leaves at 10, it's already 12:40 back. We went by taxi or metro. Taxi to kite beach - 40 there (multiply by 20), 25 back (apparently shorter back) and catch a taxi on the road, and call on. When calling, the landing is 12 dirhams, if just caught 5)
The pool is small, but the area around is very pleasant.
The hotel has a full-fledged nightclub on the second floor.
I recommend the hotel. Not noisy, convenient, comfortable, delicious)

This is a terrible horror!! This hotel is not worth the money, the five is worse than the three, the food is disgusting, the choice of dishes is meager, everything is not tasty, the rooms are not very good either, the windows do not open, the sink was clogged, the attitude towards Russians also leaves much to be desired, after a rest in this hotel, I no longer want to go to the Emirates, all desire was repulsed

There are no Russian speakers at the reception. The rooms are not comfortable. I was in 3 rooms. There are only disadvantages in all of them. There are no outlets, there is no convenient location of the outlet for the hair dryer and the outlet. There is no hygienic shower in some. When buying dinner at the hotel, the second tea is paid, and the tea is ordinary from tea bags. The staff doesn't say hello.

There is a hotel on the outskirts. There is no way to get anywhere on foot. We checked in there for one day from another hotel because of the lining. We had breakfast, the food was normal, there was a very large flow of guests, it was not cozy.

Nice 5-star hotel. The service is good, the food is varied and delicious, we can say one of the big advantages of the hotel. A solid five does not pull in comparison with the more prestigious 4ka hotels. The repair is above average, the location is not far from the center. There is a metro station nearby (400 m on foot). Burj Khalifa is about 15-20 minutes away by car.

Rested from January 16-24, 2023, the hotel feels like 5 * at once. The rooms are clean, spacious, there is a hair dryer, an iron, a needle and a set of threads in the drawer, bring toothpaste, shaving accessories. In the bathroom there was shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, a towel was changed every day for fresh ones. There is a kettle in the room, tea, coffee, sugar, water is brought as it runs out. We took everything inclusive, the BREAKFAST was monotonous, but there was a lot of everything and for different tastes. The croissants were very tasty. The dinners were varied and also very tasty, elite cheeses, olives, chicken, meat, various side dishes, bombic desserts, wine and beer are not limited for lunch. The DINNER was varied, there were sushi, shrimp, lobster, mussels in any form, meat, dolma, and much more. We were absolutely delighted. There are 3 restaurants on the territory of the hotel, the 1st where breakfast, lunch and dinner are held, but you need to come to dinner at 21:40 to be in time. Since everything will be cleaned at 22, although it is written that it works until 22:30. The other restaurant is open until 21:30. And another Nelson is more of a bar, with children not allowed there. There is also a sauna, a hammam, but I also do not let children go there. And there is a terrace with a swimming pool on the territory, water is suspected, but the sun gives very little time for sun beds. A decent hotel.

I put a solid 4, as a basis - for the lack of my own transfer to the beach, the hotel is far from the sea.
A shuttle of regional delivery has been organized, apparently, a contract has been concluded. You can not sit there in the season, there are a lot of people who want to. In July, we drove normally, there were few people on the bus. Check with the driver the time of the return shipment.
The shuttle carries JBR to one beach. The second beach is Palm West, although it is listed in the delivery, but it is only for a walk (apparently paid).
On your own to the beach: either by taxi (about 50 dirhams one way or go to the metro (7 minutes), then by metro, then to the beach 15 minutes. In general, 45 minutes. Walking for about an hour, but it's bad with pedestrian zones. And it's unrealistic to walk in the heat.
That is, the hotel is not focused on a beach holiday, while Dubai has inconvenient transport logistics. It is necessary to live both at the beach and at the red line of the metro. Otherwise, you can stay without a beach or it will cost about 2 tons per day (trip). There are paid sun loungers and umbrellas on the beach, about 2.5 t p. Take your umbrella)
JBR beach has free toilets and changing cabins (located in one place, built on the beach). A shower costs 5 dirhams (a few minutes). The beach is actively used by locals, and this is 90% of migrants from Asia, from the entire population of the Emirates.
We had a rest in July, the water in the bay at this time is hot, more than 40 grams, I swam in hot water for the first time, they don't swim in such water). You can swim either early in the morning until 10 am (the shuttle does not go at this time), or after 17 hours (the shuttle goes).
It is convenient that shuttles are carried from the hotel to 4 shopping complexes (Nakheel, Dubai Hills, Outlet, Emirates Mall). The Nakhill complex has a Palm View observation deck, liked it, bought tickets in the Klook app (you can pay for Tinkoff Union Pay), children are free. And at the same time, you can take a walk in the shopping center.
I liked Dubai Hills from the shopping center, it is very new, beautiful, there are all major brands, and a good supermarket of food, and exchangers. Everything is very beautiful, the shops are like pictures. There is a good Zara and HM. There are trampolines for children. Beautiful cafes. It's sparsely populated on weekdays.
The hotel had a good room cleaning. When cleaning, 4 bottles of water for two daily, tea, coffee, cream. There is a kettle, a refrigerator. Slippers, bathrobes.
About the smell that everyone writes about, it's from the air conditioning system. Windows do not open (this situation is mainly in Dubai). Alas, it will not work to ventilate. We're resigned.
Good shampoo, conditioner, shower gel. In July, there was excellent Wi-fi throughout the hotel.
We took full board meals. The breakfasts are very decent, there is porridge, couassans, pancakes, waffles, eggs, omelet, tea and coffee are included (there is a coffee machine). It is inconvenient that you have to wait for tea and coffee to be brought, to catch the staff.
Lunches and dinners are usual, there is meat, tilapia-type fish. The food is normal. Desserts are delicious. The fruits were watermelons, melons, papaya.
For lunch and dinner drinks include water, soda, pepsi, mirinda, juice. Tea and coffee for a fee - 28 dirhams.
I note that they gave very tasty cheeses. It's the first time I've eaten such delicious cheese in a hotel.
Once on Sunday there was an insanely delicious lunch with red fish, crabs, shrimp, and a chocolate fountain.
The pool is small, in summer it is convenient that there is a shadow from the building, at least up to 12 hours you can swim in the shade, the heat is 43 gr. There were always enough sun loungers in the summer, I think there are not enough in the season.
We were saved by the fact that we often visited the shopping center or the hotel.
It's not far to the metro, 10 minutes, it's hot to go in the summer, we went by shuttle to the Emirates Mall, it's closer to the metro, and you can see in the shopping center - penguins behind glass. And then take a taxi from there to Medinat and Parusa.
Or by metro to Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall and Fountains. This route is the most convenient in the heat to the Emirates Mall. Metro silver card 25 dirhams (2-3 trips).
I liked safari very much from the tour (they pick it up from the hotel and bring it), it costs $ 18 / person, we drove along the dunes, super, watched the show. We also booked on Klook (I learned about it from reviews). They also took a half-day tour of Dubai, in general not bad, because in the heat we didn't want to run around the city on our own. And of course, it's not everywhere you can get by metro (a minimum of beaches near the metro and not all the attractions).
In general, the hotel is a solid 4, I liked the cleaning and the fact that there was a super-delicious lunch on Sundays (only on Sundays), it was comfortable to rest. There were few people in July, it was nice))), I think in the season the impressions can be spoiled by crowds of people. On the downside, I had more expectations about food. The restaurant worked only once, or rather, a good dining room), the Italian got only 1 time on the menu (pizza, steak, soup).
Yes, the supermarket is small, right across the street, there are delicious local juices.

I rested at this hotel from 24.04 to 5.05. The hotel is certainly not five stars. We didn 't have a check - in at 14 o 'clock , we waited until 16 . The room stock is too old (the furniture is alive), the cleaning is mediocre even for money. The bed was changed . The pool is not large on the ground floor with a veranda, but there are only 20 sun beds. Therefore, who is the first, he took. Food, we had breakfast and dinner (or lunch can be changed). Everything is monotonous, but you can eat. Don't wait for shrimp, red fish , avocado. I was disappointed that there was paid tea and coffee for dinner (27 dirhams), it's generally just a grab. Fruits : green melon, medium watermelon, oranges are small but delicious. Separately , I want to tell you about the shuttle to the sea . I have not seen this .he goes to one beach at 10,13, 16, 19 hours and back at 10:45, 13:45, 20 hours at other times it is not possible to get there for free, but he comes to your hotel already full or with a few seats. If you haven't left, that's your problem. Brought to the beach: 2 sun beds and an umbrella, 2 towels, and 4 minutes (for two)to wash in the shower costs 5000 rubles (225 dirhams). For such money, they also give out dirty and dead towels, dirty sunbeds. Therefore, if you want to relax by the sea, take a hotel on the first line. Really a 3 + hotel by European standards.

The hotel is located 3 metro stations from DMCC beach (the famous Dubai Marina), then a 10-minute walk, a free shuttle bus runs 10 hours from the hotel, a 20-minute bus ride with traffic jams. THE BEACH IS HOW I GOT TO SOCHI. The DECK CHAIRS are 120 dirhams, so everything is on a towel. The breakfasts are standard, the dinners are good, there is something to eat, especially on weekends there is a large selection when the locals come. The only negative is that the rooms are adjacent. That is, a room with its own shower and bath, but there is a door to the neighbors in the next room, it is closed. It may not lead with the neighbors-we got Indians, they are noisy, we had to go knock on them at 4 in the morning and persuade them to be quieter. From the hotel to Atlantis Aqueventure taxi 40 dirhams, to Legoland 80-100,butterfly garden and flower garden 40-50, safari Park 130
