The Ruby Apartment Hotel is a good place for a family holiday. Overall, I liked the place, but there are some nuances.
Positive:
1. The rooms are very large and have a well-thought-out layout.
Family room: two large bedrooms with a bathroom separating the rooms from each other.
The layout is also interesting: the entrance to the bedrooms is from a private area separated from the living room by a door.
Living room with a large table, sofa, armchairs and TV.
The kitchen is large - 16-20 squares. There is everything you need for cooking. We spent several evenings cooking fish and seafood. The price of fish in the local supermarket inspired: shark - 300 ₽/kg, dorado 400 ₽/kg, royal shrimp 600 ₽/kg.
There is a large balcony.
2. Service. Everything is fine with the service. The gentlemen at the reception tried to solve all the issues, even those that, in principle, went beyond their functionality. I was pleasantly surprised. What exactly am I talking about: all questions about additional furniture in the room were resolved promptly. The socket adapter is not their problem, but they also quickly helped with the solution. Ordering a taxi is understandable. But the employee suggested which application is better to use to make it cheaper.
3. Location. The beach is 5 minutes away. Minimarket shops are 1 minute away. A large supermarket (Auchan type) is a 10-minute walk away. Dubai Marina is 40 minutes away by taxi. Dubai Airport is 30 minutes away, and Almaktum is about an hour away.
A few words about the beach: we were in December. The sea is cool, but tolerable for us. The sea is much cleaner than on the trendy beach in Dubai Marina. In the afternoon, waves and strong winds rise. Therefore, it is better to come to the beach from the earliest morning.
4. Nutrition. The hotel only has breakfast. Meals are organized according to two schemes: if there are few guests with breakfast, they are prepared for takeaway in lunch boxes. We were promised exactly that when we checked in. But during the night, apparently, there were more people who wanted to have breakfast at the hotel, and the breakfasts were served in a small dining room. We came at different times - there are enough tables, there is no queue. The diet was varied, and something new appeared every day. The food quality is good. There were no gastronomic bombs, but the food was very pleasant. I expected it to be less delicious. The cook tried his best. Attitude: we came to the closing several times (one minute before the closing of the canteen). The cook cooked everything, waited until we left, and only then did the buffet begin to sort itself out. In other places, the buffet is sorted according to the schedule.
5. The price. Almost every day we took a taxi to Dubai and back. But even taking into account transportation costs, the price of accommodation was lower than in Dubai.
Minuses:
1. The hotel is not new. The furniture and appliances in the room are not a fire. But, everything is functioning.
I'll make a reservation: the bedding and mattresses are being monitored. Everything is new and clean.
2. The environment. The adjacent territory to the hotel is a street without asphalt. Just sand. It feels like you're in a backwater of Central Asia, in a suburb of Tashkent, in an aul. It takes 10 minutes to walk to good pedestrian areas, where it is pleasant to walk.
Summary: overall, I liked everything.
1. Excellent sea in the morning.
2. Afternoon taxi to Dubai. Culture, entertainment, recreation, shopping, of course, are there.
3. The price/quality of accommodation is very good.

Apartments. A large room of 120 sq. m., two bedrooms and three toilets, there is a kitchen and a washing machine, lived on the 5th floor. The number was not given immediately, with a fight they knocked out the sea view as paid. The garbage was taken out every day, the bathroom floor was washed, and at the request they gave what was required. The room was cleaned three days later.
The fat minus is cockroaches in the kitchen: they were poisoned twice.
There is a small supermarket in the courtyard, a bigger one across the street.
Location : 300 m beach across the street, near the marina with a ferry to Dubai 15 dirhams passage, there is also a small aquarium nearby.
And so there is sand around like in the desert, construction is underway.

The hotel is located near the bay, about 500 meters away. There are breakfasts. The rooms are cozy, clean and large. A great choice for a vacation. I would go again.

A small hotel. There is a sandy beach nearby. The hotel provides breakfast and dinner meals. In fact, only breakfast. Dinner can be ordered from a small catalog of a nearby institution, with a meager menu. Room cleaning for three, constantly reminded that towels are not reported. However, they noticed everything and tried to do everything right. Initially, the choice was on the location of the sea, so they did not pay attention to all the shortcomings of the calving.

The hotel is perfectly located, the sea is out of the window, 5min walk, the beach is excellent, free of charge for residents in neighboring hotels, sand, smooth access to the sea, changing rooms, toilets. The main thing is that you do not need to get attached to shuttles that take you to the beach 1 or 2 times in time! The family room is huge - 120 sq. m., 2 bedrooms, living room, kitchen and 3 toilets! Yes, the rooms need repair, but the linen and towels are snow-white (they change every day), every day they give 2 bottles of water, shampoos, gels, napkins, etc., very comfortable mattresses, pillows and blankets, slept better than at home 😊 The staff is Sooo friendly, always smiling, they respond instantly to any request! No deposits are taken (unlike Dubai). There is a free safe in the room, even the stove was washed if we dirty it. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the hotel to non-cautious and positive-minded tourists!!!

Nice hotel. Everything is clean and tidy, but the hotel is old. 5 or maybe 10 years old photos. The hotel looks like a rich Soviet holiday home. There is its own kitchen, but it is too poor for appliances. There are views towards the sea, it's beautiful there. But there is another side. And here's the most interesting thing, the windows in the windows of the neighboring hotel are literally five meters away. And so the sea is nearby and far away. You can just relax.

We were in November. You can't go to the sea after 19.00, everything is blocked. It is better not to take rooms with sea access located above the restaurant. Exhaust ventilation is very noisy and there is a constant smell of food in the room.

Old and very dirty in the rooms. There is no cleaning. If the frequency in the rooms were maintained, everything would be at the highest level. While there was a new one, I would put a rating of 5+. Here is no longer a foot. In this part of the city, some places are a little more attractive.
