A normal hotel. The main advantage is shopping malls, cafes, shops, hookah bar - all within walking distance. The liquor store is also nearby (who is interested)- 10 min walk. In Monar Mall (to the left of the hotel-15 min walk)there is a market like Auchan - you can buy seafood there - they will be prepared for you on the spot - you will need to wait for 30 minutes. The breakfasts are meager- but you will not stay hungry- scramble, sausages, eggs, pancakes, porridge, vegetables, watermelons, coffee, tea. For dinner - soup, salad and 5 main courses to choose from. They cook after ordering- this is a plus- they cook dinner very tasty- large portions. Minus- if you haven't had enough, they won't give you any more. In terms of cleanliness, the rooms are cleaned at least every day, minus: the shower- the water does not go away, you sit in a puddle, as I understand it in all rooms. It's not terrible because of the price of the hotel- but it's not pleasant. They settled on the smoking floor - they asked for an ashtray for 3 days, 5 times a day, then they still gave it. There is no Russian-speaking staff, but everyone is friends with the translator. Flamingo Beach is 8 km from the hotel-the shuttle takes you to 9, picks you up at 12-13. You need to ask the driver or at the reception for the departure time for tomorrow. The beach is good, there are no sun beds and umbrellas, you will not find shade - you need to have time to take a place under a tree. There are showers along the edges of the beach. They say there is a beach near the Hilton hotel, it is 2-3 km away, we did not go there. The pool is small- there are 6 sun beds, but because it was out of season and everyone mostly goes to it because of a business trip, it was free. Swim normally to cool off. We got to Dubai by bus from the bus station - to Union Square, from there by metro. You can also take a taxi- faster. On the bus and metro we spent about 4 thousand rubles round trip for two, on a taxi about 16-20 t.r. As you like. It's not bad for one time, but there is something to compare it with - so we won't go there anymore.

The location of the hotel is excellent. There is a shuttle service to the beach (it takes you twice in the morning at 9:00 and 9:15) back at 13:00 and 13:15. The breakfasts are excellent, dinner is also good, but almost everything is spicy.
Flamingo beach, nice. There are changing rooms, shower, toilet. There are restaurants and cafes nearby. The hotel provides towels for the beach.
We liked everything, price = quality.
The staff is friendly and friendly.

We had a rest in February 2024. I liked the hotel. The location is the same. There are shops, cafes, and a shopping center nearby. The sea is a little far away, but they take you by bus for free. You can take a taxi, about 500 rubles. We sometimes walked to turtle beach. Slowly in one direction, min. 50 went out, a bonus liquor store on the way. Turtles have been seen in the sea. I want to write only good things about the hotel, the room is not bad. Windows are opened, cleaning is done every day, tea, coffee, water are replenished, etc. We had breakfast and dinner included. I recommend taking dinner, they cook delicious, the food is varied. There is a small swimming pool and a gym on the roof. Bottom line: the hotel is 5+, minus only in the distance from the sea.

The hotel is excellent, comfortable, clean.The room has everything you need: a hairdryer,electric kettle,refrigerator,safe, TV, there are even a couple of Russian channels)It is located in the city center, shops, mall,fast food nearby, but the beach is 7 km away(.He carries the transfer 2 times only in the morning and picks it up 2 times in the afternoon.The transfer is designed for 13 people, and the hotel has 13 floors with rooms, so there are a lot of people who want and therefore there may be a struggle for the transfer in the morning).It takes you to 2 different beaches every other day, one day -urban 2.5 km, there are no amenities, but the bay is without waves, the other day-Flamingo beach 7 km-amenities have a toilet,changing rooms, shower, good sand when entering the water and smooth entry, but there are waves.The rooftop pool is 14 fl.(LR), not big, not deep, the water is heated, but it gets cool because of the wind.The food is delicious, we took breakfasts and dinners, if you do not have time for something because of excursions, you can change it, but you need to warn the kitchen administrator 1 day in advance.In general, the hotel is good, we liked it, we were from 02/20.24 to 02/26.24.The hotel charges a tourist fee upon arrival immediately, we have 60 dirhams (1560 RUB) for 6 days

The hotel is 3 and no more tired, the breakfasts are weak, there are only 5 sun beds on the pool, there is a gym, the location in the city is 2 large shopping centers nearby, there are no more advantages. Wi-Fi for only 3 devices per room??? How? I only have three.... And there are two of us. Slippers and bathrobes are not available in the rooms. Water is poured from the shower into the toilet.

The hotel is new and well-maintained. Clean. The room has everything you need. I really liked the food. Everything is in abundance and diverse. Located in the center of Ras al Khaimah. There are many malls, restaurants, shops, and an embankment nearby. The beach is public, there is a shuttle service. This is the only inconvenience. But here you have to choose. Either the beach, and take a taxi to the center, or the center, transfer to the beach. In general, everything is wonderful!

Nice hotel, comfortable rooms and very comfortable. We took breakfast, a wide variety of dishes, everyone will find something of their own, and the most delicious is waffles with chocolate syrup and natural juice from oranges. The location is also very good, there is everything around, and cafes for every purse, supermarkets and the largest pier. It's a long way to the beach, of course, but they take you from the hotel and back in an organized manner.

A good city hotel with no access to the sea. It corresponds to its three stars.
Check-in at the hotel was only from 12 o'clock. We arrived at 10 a.m. and were allowed to check in at 11 a.m. The staff speaks English, but we were lucky and there was a guide who spoke Russian. All friendly and responsive, any questions were solved quickly and efficiently.
At registration, you need to pay a tax of 10 dirhams for each night. For 9 nights, they gave, respectively, 90 dirhams. They were exchanged in advance at the airport, but you can do it without problems at the hotel itself.
We were given a room on the 7th floor (2 key cards), there is no balcony. Appliances include a kettle, TV, mini-bar, table lamp, air conditioning. For clothes, there is a huge built-in wardrobe with two shutters, built-in light, 6 hangers. The safe is small but roomy. There are two bedside tables with a dressing table by the bed.
Regarding the sockets: they are of the English type, i.e. an adapter is needed. We were completely upset because charging was extremely slow through the built-in USB port, but later we just tried to plug our plug into the outlet and it worked! It sits in the socket unreliably, but it is charging.
There are as many as 4 sockets, plus there are built-in USB and HDMI connectors.
There is only one Russian-language channel on the TV out of the announced four.
Every day, on request, they gave drinking water 2 bottles of 0.5, tea, coffee, dry cream and sugar.
There is only liquid hand soap and shower gel in the bathroom. There is not even a cup for dental floss. There are only two towels + a towel-a foot mat. There are no small towels (for example, for hands) at all, in principle, only huge bath towels. Separate towels are provided for the beach.
Cleaning every day, making the bed, changing towels, mugs, replenishing supplies (water, tea, etc.).
Breakfast on the M floor from 7 to 10 am in buffet format. The choice of dishes is large and varied, but every day it is the same: main dishes, cereals, fruits, snacks, tea, coffee, juices, milk.
The elevator goes up only if you attach a hotel card, it goes down without applying.
The pool is on the LR floor (it's on the roof), small. There are sun beds, armchairs, two umbrellas. It works from 9 (like) to 7:30.
Transfer to the beach from 9 am, back as the driver says (12:00, 13:00), Monday was a day off. One flight was enough all the days, on the last day we went with two: 8:50 - 13:00 + 9:20 - 13:30.

The location of the hotel is excellent. A new building, good service and price, excellent breakfast and dinner meals, everyone found to their taste: there are both spicy and non-spicy dishes. A shuttle bus takes you to the sea, alternating beaches, it takes only 5 .. 7 minutes to go, beach towels are provided without a deposit. And in general, it is convenient that there are no deposits upon arrival. We recommend the hotel.

The hotel is good
Clear. The breakfasts are quite good. There is even oatmeal porridge. Near the hotel there is all the necessary infrastructure-a bus station, supermarkets, shops and many cafes where you can eat inexpensively and deliciously. But! The beach is far away. To stomp to it a kilometer and a half or two. However, there is a minibus that takes you early in the morning and picks you up at 13/13:30 from the beach.

Excellent hotel, delicious and varied food, clean cozy rooms, excellent service. There are many shops and shopping malls around. It's a bit far to the beach, but there is a shuttle service. However, the minibus is only for 13 people. You can take a taxi to the beach. I recommend Flamingo Beach. The streets nearby are not very suitable for walking, because there are few sidewalks.

A good budget hotel. There is a small swimming pool on the roof. In December 2023, we were here for a week, it is optimal to take breakfast + dinner. There are many shopping malls nearby. The beach is a 40-minute walk away (there are buses from the hotel, boarding on a first-come, first-served basis)

The rooms are nice, spacious, the only thing is that there are no balconies. The room is clean.Maintenance for 5 if something is not working properly, an engineer is immediately sent (he is a jack of all trades)Another disadvantage is that EA carries a small bus for 13 people and lines up, makes several flights there and back as well.The driver is cool, kind, even my husband, as usual, let everyone go ahead, and the driver even brought him alone later.He doesn't allow it on his knees and won't take too much, don't even try, they have big fines.And so, in other things, we had a great rest with friends , there were 5 of us, the tour was 11 nights , 12 days full, we had a great time, we took only breakfast and normally, and in the evening we bought something, at prices the same as in Russia, there is even something cheaper.Behind the hotel there is a large supermarket Lulu, where they bought about 100 meters , there are 3 alcohol markets, the best choice and at prices the one that is 20-25 minutes walk from the city beach.Big shops are not far from the hotel DAY TO DAY, there are a lot of souvenirs and clothes very cheap. In general, everything was fine

We bought a tour with my wife in February 2023 with half board (breakfast and dinner). The choice of dishes was normal for 3 stars. Sometimes the food was very spicy. But considering the quality of food in local cafes, we made the right choice. The room was cleaned. Towels were changed on demand. The view from the window of the high floors is beautiful, if on the bay. On the roof there is a small pool with fairly warm water (heated), towels are provided there. They take you to the beach, turtles swim in the bay. The beach is not very equipped and without functioning toilets. If you walk from the hotel through the Hilton and then through the wasteland towards the beach, you will find an alcohol market!!! In the Emirates!! There are very attractive prices for elite drinks. There are also cheap ones. For a city hotel, a normal option. I recommend it!

Rested from December 26- January 1. The hotel for 3 is good. The breakfasts are monotonous , but everything is there . The New Year's dinner was very surprised, everything is fine, I thought it would be more modest. It was very tasty and varied . Rooftop pool, not big , clean 👍. There are many shops and shopping centers nearby. In small cafes (not very clean), delicious and thick smoothies for 8-10 dirhams, just super, will replace lunch, you can eat there (also delicious) . A bus takes 10 minutes to the beach. Who wants to save money , it 's fine . But you definitely need to go to Dubai, although not cheap $ 90. You won 't find it cheaper . The climate is excellent , not too hot . You can sunbathe and swim 👍

A bad hotel. The room is smelly, the curtains have never been washed, they stink of smoke, a lot of business travelers live. Who smoke right in the rooms, there is nothing to breathe. The only plus is the staff is nice and friendly.It is very far from the sea, 50 minutes on foot. There is a transfer 1 time a day at 9 there at 13 back. Arab sockets for narrow plugs, take adapters with you. The hair dryer works for 20 seconds, then turns off and wait for 2 minutes until it cools down. In general, 3 stars barely reach

The hotel is perfect, a solid five among the triples. Communication is only in English, but the staff is sincerely trying to understand what you want from them and help. The rooms are nice, everything is modern, new, comfortable beds. We had the 13th floor, a gorgeous view of the bay and mountains, stained glass Windows, floor-to-ceiling.
We had breakfast only, delicious, not very varied, but we never stayed hungry.
There is a shuttle service from the hotel to the beach, a 20-minute drive (Flamingo Beach). He goes there 1 time a day and 1 time back, it was not convenient for us, we used the same bus and taxi. The beach is gorgeous.

The hotel, of course, is not 5 stars. But I'm betting 5 ⭐ 😁. I'm not a fussy traveler at all. Personally, I was satisfied with everything. I knew where I was going and for what money. The room is decent, but there are not big disadvantages. The bed linen and towels are snow-white, the mattress is new, there are no complaints about it. There were only two very huge towels, one for hands and one for feet. And not as usual, two big ones, two small ones and for the legs. There's nothing to wrap your head in after a shower. I had to cover myself with this huge towel. Another drawback in the room is that the shower water poured onto the floor outside the fence. I had to put a towel for my feet. There is also no Russian-speaking staff at the hotel, although most of the guests are Russian. We communicated through a translator. They say it's the same everywhere in the Emirates, I can't say. The food was also fine. However, there are a lot of spices, more Indian cuisine. You can survive a week. Since the hotel does not have its own territory, the pool was small on the roof. But it's all written in the description.

We were in the city of Mach in December 2023 as a family. We liked the hotel, it corresponds to more than the stated 3 stars. The bed is white, perfect, very good in quality, with a view of the bay from the window. The breakfasts are more India, but they left well-fed. A small bus with a capacity of 11 people takes us to the beach, sometimes we took a taxi 12-13 dirhams in one direction. There are many shops nearby, including an alcohol market with reasonable prices, there is a Bounty store with lots of sweets. On the last day, we came across a clothing centerpoint store and bought a lot of branded items with discounts. We went to the outlet, but the prices are too high for us. We went to Dubai for one day, bought a guided tour for $ 35 per person.

Well, what can I say we rested from 02.01.24 to 08.01.24 the hotel is very convenient in terms of location to the shopping center and cafes , restaurants , shops, everything is within walking distance , transfer to the sea 3 times in the morning but can leave earlier and arrive later....
The rooms are good, they are cleaned for three, they may not give towels ) they may not even come) the water in the shower stall flows out through the door ..) there's nothing you can do) also, first you need to drain the water to wait for it to go warm .
We took breakfast because there are many cafes within walking distance, breakfasts of the same type are not very shorter, we wanted to warm up the purchased food from the cafe, they did not give it, they said it was impossible) (it's a pity the microwave apparently) the pool is not deep, the view is really gorgeous panoramic Windows (on the roof) the water is cold, there are no Russian speakers at the reception! There is a bar!!! Beer in glass is 35 derham... there is an alcohol market not far away) prices are normal!!

In general, I liked the hotel, minus the nuances - too much attention is paid to Hindu food at dinners, it is often too spicy and spicy, not suitable for everyone. Strange cleaning staff - they were constantly under-laying towels. Due to the late arrival, they were left without dinner and some kind of compromise solution was refused at check-in. The city beach is a 40-minute walk away. Their nuances - rooms with mountain views are subjected to a sound musical attack from a nearby hotel, next to a mosque, in the mornings the first couple of days it is unusual.

Children's pool on the roof, there is also a fitness room.

There are a lot of places to eat and hang out nearby: cafes, shopping centers, supermarkets with ready-made food.
- Alas, there are no balconies, there is no courtyard.
The transfer to Flamingo Beach accommodates only 13 people, you have to wait. Or by taxi.

A good three. The administration speaks only English, the food is varied for the three, but with a touch of Indian cuisine, as they mostly work. The rooms are clean, well cleaned. It is a 40-minute walk from the beaches, but there is a shuttle (mini bus) twice a day back and forth on 10 and 15 (it was in early January). When we checked in, we didn't have time for dinner, but it was paid for. At first we were told-OK will be given lunch on departure, then refused, after negotiations, still did. There is nothing much nearby, it's not the center, 10 minutes to Manar mall is a nice shopping center, in cancer mall-do not go to do anything there. Overall, the impressions are positive))) the photo shows the view from the pool

The hotel is good. But I wouldn't go to it anymore. Breakfast is monotonous. For 9 days, everything is the same. The sausages were actually in tamata a day later. The reception desk actually asked for something with a needle and thread. They said go to the supermarket. I went up to the floor, asked Suleiman (the boy is cleaning the room).

I had a rest on 05.02.23-13.02.23. In general, a good three, what a three should be. Very convenient location. A good number for a threesome. We took only breakfast (so-so after three days of complete monotony), there is something to buy cheap in supermarkets nearby. Magnificent Emirates in early February! Just keep in mind that there are no Russian speakers here from the word at all. Within walking distance of malls, cafes, restaurants, ALCOHOL MARKET! The prices in the liquor store will put you in a stupor in a positive sense! Dutifrey Dubai is nothing compared to him. Take everything boldly, everything is branded, the Indians just keep it, that's why it's so cheap. Everything about the rooms is described in detail earlier. I agree. Flamingos have never been to the beach. We drove (we went mostly on our own without straining for ourselves) to the Hilton beach open. The beach is not equipped, but the sea and sand justify everything! From the sun, too, if desired, there is a place to hide. By the way, be afraid of the sun - it's very aggressive. Even those who grew up on our sea were seriously burned. I am grateful that I was warned in time. The weather is super, the sea is comfortable. I realized for myself that if I go to the Emirates again, I will most likely go to Ras al Khaimah (I was in Dubai before that too). Price-quality ratio in favor of RAK! In general, I recommend this hotel. Qualitatively, those who are without pathos. Separately, I will note the hotel guide Elkhan Fun&Sun- Skymax. Avoid him - not a mandatory, irresponsible freak! The hotel has contacts of good Russian-speaking private and honest guides (Shukrat), whose price of tours is two times less and the attitude is many times better. According to the hotel, in general, there are of course nuances characteristic of the three-piece, but they are not significant in the price-quality ratio. I definitely recommend it!

The location is convenient, the rooms are clean, cleaning is daily, but the towel rail is located in the shower, in general, if you keep it there, it will always be wet. Swimming trunks can't be dried there either, there are no balconies, I had to dry them on a coffee table. Now about food - disgusting, drinking mostly only water, juices, coffee and tea is extremely rare, in general, if you are going to this hotel, it's better to take it without food, there are a lot of shops nearby, even if you take BP noodles, it will be tastier.
