The hotel has 4 stars. Please note that you will be charged a tourist fee upon arrival. We paid about $26 in 6 days. We had a rest in the middle of March 2025. Check-in at the hotel after 15.00 local time, check-out at 12.00. We checked in around 13.00, because there were rooms available. The rooftop hotel has its own swimming pool and gym. They worked from 07.00 to 19.00. The room had everything you needed: shampoo, shower gel, hair conditioner, body lotion cream, iron, ironing board, safe, capsule coffee machine. There was also tea, sugar, coffee capsules and cream for coffee. There is a mini fridge, hairdryer. Overall, the hotel is nice, but it's a long way to get to the beach. There is a private transfer to the beach, which stops at the Dubai mall. It's a 20-minute drive to the Dubai Mall, and the same distance to the beach. It's a long walk, about an hour or 1.5 hours. The beach is clean, there are no sun beds, no umbrellas. The time of departure of the bus from the beach is not very convenient. Tourists arrive at 10:40, pick up at 12:35. The next flight when you pick up is 17:50. In the heat, just burn out. On the first day at the beach, a friend got a heat stroke, then they lay in the room all day. Keep your headdress on, apply sunscreen. The room was cleaned every day, towels were changed daily, the hotel staff is very friendly, everyone speaks English. The hotel has a buffet. We had breakfast and dinner. Dinner can be replaced with lunch. But they don't give you much food for lunch, you won't go hungry, but you don't have much choice either. The desk wasn't open at lunchtime. There is a lot of food: porridge, rice, potatoes for breakfast, the cook can make you an omelet, there were fruits, vegetables, tea, coffee from a coffee machine, packaged juices, fantasy, cola and sprite in cans, but you had to ask for soda at the bar. The meat was different and the chicken. both pork and fish. Dinner started at 6:30 p.m. If they arrived by 20.00, then there was little food, i.e. what was left. The nearest metro station is a 30-minute walk from the hotel. We took a taxi to the fountains on yandex. go for 1200 rubles. The amount is debited from the card automatically. It takes about 15 minutes to drive. We walked back at 1.45 in the usual step. We are satisfied with the rest. But we decided to take a hotel closer to the center and with its own beach in the future. By the way, the hotel does not change the currency. They took dollars from us for the check-in, but only those that are no older than 2004. They take all the bills in stores, the newer the better. Enjoy your stay.

The hotel itself is nice, cozy, clean, smiling staff. We were given a two-room room for three, as there was not a full load. Special thanks for that!
the breakfasts are modest, everything is basic: 3-4 types of eggs, questionable slicing, baking norms, fruits, cereals, yoghurts, delicious smoothies, spring rolls, pancakes ...
Coffee and tea can be taken from the coffee machine for free throughout the day, at around 5 pm they put out a snack: sliced and fruits.
An overpass is being built right in front of the hotel and a building is being built on the side. our windows faced the opposite side, it was not noisy.
There is nowhere to walk near the hotel, there are a couple of grocery stores with cheap fruits and a pharmacy. If you walk for 15-20 minutes, then there will already be more civilization and you can walk to the old town (40 minutes).
The shuttle to La Mer Beach runs 3 times a day (10:00, 12:00 and 17:00). It goes through Dubai Mall. 15-20 minutes to the mall and another 20-25 minutes to the beach itself. There is no return shuttle, you can take a taxi for 30 dirhams. You can also walk, in about an hour, but the pleasure is questionable, since you have to walk along the road and then cross a construction site with a bunch of traffic lights.
The hotel has a gym, table tennis, air soccer and a rooftop pool. In February, an icy wind was constantly blowing there, it was warm to swim, it was not very easy to get out.
I could recommend the hotel, if the location is not confusing, it is far from civilization, but close to the airport :)
