We stayed at the ibis 3* hotel from 31.01.25-7.02.25
Location: The hotel is located in the center of Fujairah, there are many restaurants and shops nearby. Lulu Mall is a 5-minute walk away, Fujairah Mall is a 15-minute walk away. Fujairah City Center is 11 dirhams one way by taxi. There is a mosque nearby, the second largest in the UAE.
Rooms: in general, the rooms are good, the furniture is a bit old, but it's not critical. The bathroom has towels and soap/shampoo 2in1. We didn't have toothbrushes or toothpastes.
We cleaned every day, changed the bed linen and towels every day.
Meals: the food is very good for a 3* hotel. For breakfast, lunch and dinner there are different types of meat, soups, rice, potatoes, vegetables and fruits. There are also many different buns and cakes for dessert. You can have coffee, tea, and juices for breakfast. Only water for lunch and dinner. We were never hungry.
Beach and pool: the hotel is located in the city center, it's a very long walk to the beach. Therefore, there is always a bus to the beach: 5 times it takes you from the hotel to the beach from 8:30 to 11:30 and 3 times it takes you from the beach to the hotel from 12:00 to 13:00. The beach where the bus takes you from the hotel is called Umbrella Beach. By taxi, the example is 11 dirhams one way. There is no public transport in this emirate. During our vacation, the water temperature was about +23 degrees, the air temperature was +26 degrees.
The hotel has a swimming pool, located approximately on the roof of the second floor. There are many sun beds near the pool, the pool is not heated. Bags with beach mats, towels and water are given to the beach.
Guided tours: there is a man sitting on the left at the entrance to the Novotel, he sells guided tours for twice as much as a tour guide from a tour operator. Speaks excellent Russian. A two-person tour of Dubai from Fujairah cost 400 dirhams. We were driven by car with Ahmed as the driver. He was an excellent driver, spoke Russian, and shared a lot of interesting information along the way. For the purchase of one tour, they gave a gift of a tour of Fujairah. The tour is simply gorgeous! Fujairah is an incredibly beautiful emirate: mountains, fortresses, mosques, waterfalls, white sand beach. I advise everyone to visit these two excursions.
Only positive impressions remained from the rest! The best value for money.

The hotel as a whole is not bad.
Convenient location, in the center, shops, cafes - everything is nearby, everything is within walking distance. There are two good Fujairah malls on the left side of the road from the hotel, if you stand with your back to the hotel. The first one is 15 minutes on foot, the cheapest and a little further away from it is Karefour, 10 minutes is the maximum walk.
Fort Fujairah is also a 15-minute walk away. Across the street from the hotel is a beautiful mosque, the very beautiful Sheiza Zayda, the second after the mosque in Abu Dhabi. There is a 10-minute walk from the mosque and it will reach the fort. When we were on vacation, an exhibition of Arabian horses was held in the fort, it was very colorful. Everything is free.
You can't walk to the beach, we tried. Firstly, the distance is still large, and secondly, the sidewalk ends in places. So either by bus from the hotel. And in the evening, to walk along the embankment, we reached Fort Fujairah and took a taxi from there, so only 11 dirhams went out (this is a minuscule cost, even if 9 or 10 dirhams go out, they will still take 11).
At the end of the beach there are a couple of bars, we took a hookah there in the evening, I really liked it, It's good, smoky, and doesn't taste bitter. It costs 54 dirhams. Take the classics. The food is also not expensive, not more expensive than other cafes.
Be on your guard with taxi drivers, they have become very arrogant, do not agree to any trips "there is a beautiful place nearby" let me take you, they also like to choose a bigger circle, although there is a shorter road. The Hindus have become arrogant in one word.
The hotel itself: the rooms are very small for the UAE, the first time in such a place, the two of us were cramped. The room has a terrible musty smell, the window was open all the time, after a few days the mustiness seemed to go away and it began to stink like a sewer, anyway, there's trouble with the aroma))
The linen is clean, towels are changed every day, as they simply do not dry from the room due to humidity. They give one large one per person. They don't give you little ones
There is only liquid soap in the shower, there is nothing else. There is a kettle in the room, tea and coffee are provided every day. A glass bottle of water every day, like a liter bottle.
They give me a bag, beach towels and two bottles of water to go to the beach every day, which made me happy.
The beach is nice, the sand is really dark, but clean, the sunset is excellent, in winter it's super, but in the heat it probably won't be pleasant, since there are no umbrellas, there is nowhere to hide. There are a lot of stray kitties and kittens on the beach, grab them a sausage or an egg from breakfast)
Breakfast at the Hotel, it's cramped, there are a lot of people, if you come before 8 a.m., there will be a lot of places, but after that the queues will begin. The food is very tolerable, there is a choice, delicious. Coffee is not bad.
There's a bus going to the beach, don't worry, if it doesn't fit, another bus will arrive.
The last one from the beach is at 13.00. That's all. Somehow it's very early, you can do it at 14.00 and at 15.00, of course.
There is a club in the hotel. You can hang out, they sing and dance every night. On Tues and Fri, the girls have three free drinks from 20.00 to 22.00 in order to attract men.
There is a gym. Nice, big one. But it smells like some kind
of glue... the bass is not bad, but there was a constant wind in December, we didn't hang out there.
There is a town of Kalba not far away, mini10-15 by taxi, advice to go for a walk, it differs from the "modern glass Emirates, it's very colorful there.
And yes, kind people, a big request!!! You can see McDonald's from the window of the hotel, and there is a KFC beyond it. There's a kitty hanging out next to him under a tree, still a little one, 4 months old... If it's not difficult, feed, pet, play - she's very sociable and cool))) She looks like a tiger. if you don't, search her, she'll come running))
