I recommend it!!!
The main contingent of tourists from Russia and Kazakhstan aged 45+ or families with children. There are very few young people.
Among the disadvantages: the natural wear and tear of the hotel, the lack of animation and temporarily closed shops on the territory of the hotel.
Pros: all rooms have a view of the bay, food (especially desserts), cleanliness throughout the territory, including the beach, Russian-speaking and polite staff.

I haven't been to the hotel itself. But I was on the territory. A green area where you can sit in the shade of palm trees. The bay is 5 meters from the hotel, but you can not swim - the coastal area is laid with large stones, probably act as breakwaters. The beach itself is on the other side of the island, across the street. Guests are taken from the hotel by electric car (like for golf, for 4-6 people)

The rooms are nice and large... However, when taking some towels, they forget to put clean ones.. Soap is only liquid... Slippers and bathrobes must be requested separately - they are given out free of charge. WiFi is available throughout, including the beach. There is a bar on the beach. Alcoholic drinks are everywhere until sunset, then only in the restaurant and bar until 22.00. The all-inclusive restaurant is one, if you come to the beginning, there is a queue. The staff speaks Russian partially, it makes no sense to speak English with the service staff with good knowledge, because they don't speak it much either... There is construction going on around, this is for those who find it stressful... In the bar, you can play backgammon, checkers, etc. in complete coolness over a " mug"... You can cool off in the pool after the beach, because the water in the bay is too warm (September). The buffet is not particularly varied, but you will not stay hungry. The room has an iron, ironing board, refrigerator, safe, TV (including Russian). The most important thing about the UAE is that they do not have a license for messengers, so you will not be able to call through them via local connection and WiFi, only through your connection (roaming) and then only using a VPN. I am writing because many people do not know and make a scandal at the reception. The beach is a 3-minute walk away or a golf cart rides every five minutes and takes you to the beach and back. There is no need to carry towels, there is an issue near the pool and on the beach... Alcohol: tequila, vodka, brandy, rum, gin, beer, wine, champagne, cheese, cocktails, respectively, the rest for money. A playroom for children. In the evening, there is nothing else to do except sit at the bar. There is no animation. The nearest store is about 30 minutes on foot, but in the evenings it is very stuffy and humid, there will definitely be no desire to walk. In general, it is not bad for a relaxing holiday... I don't want to describe the rest of the little things, such as, for example, a lot of local pigeons flying around the bolcons, respectively, a lot of excrement from them...

let's go to Marjan, let's leave Pullman (they say the French bought it out). While here for the third day with a 6-year-old child, the room and view are amazing, the food is varied and delicious, the staff is friendly (not Russian-speaking). The number of rooms is 5 out of 5 .The sea and the beach are the cleanest, if you did not come for a party, but to relax , bask in the sun, swim and sleep - here it is! The nearest shopping center store ( by taxi 20-25 Dirhams ) . There is nothing nearby but a beautiful bay and white sand , there is not enough good playground , there is also no trampoline , although I saw it in the photo .In general, one of the disadvantages is that there is one children's room for children, and it is also impossible to enter the spa area with children. Otherwise, everything depends on your mood, and you can always find entertainment for yourself and your loved ones. By the way , today will be a holiday , they brought an invitation for 17:30 , we will meet the new management of the hotel. I recommend the hotel. My son is delighted, I don 't know how , but a 6- year-old boy ( who does not speak English ) is understood by all the staff.Greetings to all from Platona👋💙

The sea is beautiful. The food was quite satisfactory. That's probably all of the good stuff. The service is disgusting. If you want to have a good rest, you don't belong here. If you want to treat your lady with cold sparkling wine, warn your beloved that she will have to raise her *op and please herself) there is nothing for children. Ice cream for Russian money 600rubles, a cone. There is no animation. Cycling is paid. Children's room 1 time per stay is free, the rest is paid. It's more like full board than all inclusive. It's very sad. We will not come back and advise anyone. Even the enemy!🤣🤣🤣

Have a nice evening, everyone!
I want to leave a review about this hotel
So let's go:
I returned yesterday, and this is the lowest level of the hotels and the lowest level from the Emirate, and I have something to compare it with, I have already been to the UAE 6 times!
Ras al Khaimah is a continuous construction site and everywhere (, near this hotel there is a dolbeshka from morning to night, the food is terrible, there is little choice, and very little, people run, who managed to eat.Madame goes through the rooms asking to write a good review about the hotel, and offers help to do it beautifully and truthfully! The beach is a dumpster, beer cans, cups, steers, napkins. If you came to the sea early, then drinking water will appear around 12:00, and it's not realistic to take it with you from the room, because the bottle is made of glass (( and you suffer from thirst. There is also a problem with towels for sun beds, you always have to wait for them to be brought, and if you come in the morning, at 8:00, when there are no children, and the water is clean and the most comfortable, you will have nothing to lay! The water in the shower to rinse off after salt on the beach doesn't always work either, they just forgot to turn it on, they're sleeping, the young ones, they don't care about you, you came and left, and they're alone ((, tin is shorter…
We were still fools to go on a tour, I'm sorry $ 90 for a minute is 10000 rubles, this is from a person, my God, this is such a divorce for money, a guide from Belarus, Madame Tatiana, who has been living in the UAE since 1995, Spoke like in Russian, but half of her presented information was not understood at all, swallows words, on the tour itself, we didn't see anything, or everything from afar, for example, the Sail hotel, but closer for an additional fee! we drove through traffic jams, took them on a yacht, promised an hour in the end, 40 minutes, and a snack on it is real, sausage on a loaf, spicy chips and a glass of water and finally delivered to the Dubai Mall, gave 40 minutes and ran to the singing fountains (in Sochi it is much cooler) aquarium and of course the ladies room, and The queue is crazy as always! It's all in a nutshell…
In short , they were divorced for money !
And we've wasted our time.
I do not recommend this hotel to anyone 👎

We were in the UAE for the first time from 07/20.24 to 07/28.24 we were scared by the hot weather, but I want to say it's hot for 1 day, then the body quickly adapts to weather conditions and the buzz comes.
The hotel is very nice - the rooms are comfortable, clean, cozy with expensive furniture. Cleaning every day. Everything is in the room, right down to shampoo, gel, etc.
The food is excellent before you go, I read in the reviews that there is not much choice. But I want to say there is a decent choice. I am fastidious about food and I found food for myself without any questions and it was very tasty. I want to express my Gratitude to the waiter Oksana, Ahmed, Said. They are very responsive guys and work quickly, understanding us from the start.
The hotel has an outdoor pool, an indoor pool with cooling. The sea is gorgeous, warm, clean, there are sun beds, tables, a bar, a shower, a toilet everywhere is clean.
The receptionists at the reception have Russian speakers who are very friendly, especially Alexandra.
At the entrance, the guy meets and offers coffee or drinks that are delicious.
I really liked everything. Recommend. I was like in a fairy tale.

I had a rest recently, in general there is very little))
In order.
About the sea: Of course, I did not expect and did not know that there was a bay there, and this is not exactly what I love, i.e. it seems like the sea, but rather a warm bath)) It's not particularly refreshing to swim, and even more so it's not refreshing, especially at +44 on sushi.
The beach is small, but there are enough sun beds, although you can stay on the beach until sunset, i.e. somewhere before 18:20-40, then the staff begin to expel.
Food: delicious, but not a lot of choice
Staff: Angels))), always in touch, always help, prompt
Rooms: clean, spacious, cozy and comfortable.
Which I really didn't like and I write about it exclusively for people like me.
There are a lot of children, I chose the hotel from those considerations that are not for children, and there is not much there for children, but local whole families come and there is nowhere to go from the children, especially in the dining room, they yell, about and without.
I have finally decided for myself that I will no longer take risks and in the future I will choose only 18+ hotels.

A great place for a good rest. Sea view, soon there will be a casino, friendly staff. Towels are provided on the beach, in the pool, in the Jacuzzi (sauna, hammam). At the reception you will always find people who speak their native language, who are always ready to help you. The food is like a buffet everywhere, where you will find food to your liking (honestly, we only had breakfast). Quiet enough. On my birthday, they brought a cake to my room, which was extremely pleasant!) There are suggestions for excursions

We had a rest from October 20th to 30th. The hotel is small, the territory is tiny. Upon arrival, a tourist fee is charged, 200 dirhams (about 2500 rubles) were given for three. One small swimming pool and no leisure either in the afternoon or in the evening.
The rooms are large, there are many closets, the bed is comfortable, the room has a refrigerator, a kettle. The windows are very dirty. The balcony is large, but the whole is exposed to birds and it is not cleaned. Every day they brought 1 set of towels less, they saw a towel for the legs once, they called the reception every day with a request to bring it, but they really brought it right away. 2 glass bottles of water are brought every day, broken or taken away - 40 dirhams will be charged. There is still a table to look for in the dining room, there are a lot of people, there are few places,
the food is very monotonous and meager, but you can eat if you are not picky. French fries were served several plates to children, but who is lucky, our son was lucky to get it 1 time in 11 days, it is not clear what kind of delicacy this is ... There are practically no fruits, mainly grapefruit and apple, pineapple was seen 3 times in 11 days.
The sea is across the road, it takes about 5 minutes to walk. The chaise longue should be occupied before breakfast, then there are no seats.. the sea is warm, there are stars, crabs, and fish underfoot. Masks should not be taken, the water is muddy with sand, people are like herrings in a barrel.
We woke up at 6.30 am to the sounds of machinery working, making the road right outside the hotel. There is a construction site around, trucks drive until night and start again at 6, you will not be able to rest. The nearest grocery store is 3.5 km away. Next to it there is an alcohol store and a pharmacy if anyone needs it. You can only get to the shopping malls by taxi. To Dubai, you can go 1.15 approximately with a taxi driver to arrange a round trip of $ 150.
In general, a very strange impression about the hotel is only a spacious room, the rest is just a disaster. I will never return to this hotel.

Positive:
A resort area for those looking for a relaxing holiday away from the city.
Service 5/5
Food 5/5
Safety 5/5
Attractions, globally, there is nothing but hotels and infrastructure -1/5.
Language barriers - many people speak or can understand and explain in Russian or with a translator application, we can say that they do not exist.
There are almost no shops. We found one within the boundaries of one of the hotels. What needs for water, sweets, hygiene will be covered.
Excursions are worth taking. They offer
Especially safari.
I highly recommend taking a power bank with you.
There is no charging on tour buses. This is a big disadvantage for the lack of technology. We in Russia are already used to them.

Among the cons: there is a construction site around, which does not stop even at night; the beach across the street is a 5-minute walk away; there is also a construction site on the beach; there are no activities at the hotel; after dinner, the hotel dies - you can't drink or eat anywhere except a hookah bar; not the best cleaning; tired plumbing. There is no food on site outside of mealtimes.
The staff is 50/50 - there are outright boors.

A great inexpensive five. Since it is located on the outskirts, the rest is very similar to Turkey or other countries. The food is decent, the cleaning is normal. There is nothing for children, no animation, no playground on Fri and Sat at 16 o'clock pizzas are prepared with children and that's it! The beach is normal, but all over Ostrava there is a view of the construction site and other hotels, I didn't like it, the construction site is just everywhere!!! They make noise, but not much, it bothered me a little, I wanted more nature, landscapes and horizons. It is not profitable to pay in dollars at all. The rest was very successful, we did not go expensive, so I am super happy. There is almost no shopping, there are only five-star hotels nearby, the price tag is appropriate, taxis are very expensive, to the brand for forest 55 dirhams one way and this is not a city yet!!! We took an excursion to Dubai!!! Just crazy emotions, if you have the opportunity, then do not take a tour, traffic jams, etc. for the weekend. In general, good luck to everyone, in February to swim and warm up super

The hotel has been under the management of Pulman since the beginning of 2024 and the concept is not yet clear. If it is a family one, then there is clearly not enough children's entertainment both on site and on the beach.
Of the cons:
- in April 24, there was no playground and football gates on the territory, although they are in the photos on the website and aggregators in the descriptions.
- a football is given for money. For 5* it's petty.
Positive: so far, it is more economical than the neighboring 5 *; a small but cozy territory, polite staff, there were few guests in Ramadan, quiet, calm, spacious rooms and a beautiful hotel lobby. It's pretty clean and delicious on the buffet.

The room is beautiful, clean, the air conditioning works well, the room is cleaned regularly. The beach is a 10-minute walk away or you can take an electric car that runs between the hotel and the beach. The beach is a mixture of sand and seashells, but the legs do not prick, the child runs calmly. The water in the bay is clean, very warm. The pool in the hotel has very nice cool water, there is a children's pool.

We traveled as a family of 2 vz and 2 reb. We bought a standard room. I will write without +/- but just what I saw, and then judge for yourself how you like it :))
Reception. Waiting in line for more than 10 minutes. Then 40 minutes of waiting for our reservation. A room with a view of the pool and a balcony, with one bed. The bed is large, we slept in the fourth without any problems.
The room is spacious.
There are flavorings throughout the hotel
There's a construction site around, you can't hear in the room, but I didn't really want to go somewhere
The beach is across the street, a few minutes on foot, we drove a buggy mostly
There were always places on the beach, even the four of us had sun beds next to each other.
The sea is good, no turtles have been seen, a stingray sailed once, but mostly it's small fish, crustaceans and starfish.
Food. One restaurant, the food was monotonous, but in general we were fine. There are very few fruits to choose from. Drinks, except coffee and juices, need to stand in line, there is no service at the table, i.e. there are no waiters. You go everywhere by yourself. You can't get coffee for breakfast, there are long queues, we always went to eat closer to closing, but there is no longer what it was at the beginning, but there is no jostling, there are a lot of free tables and there are not particularly queues.
For children, I asked the chefs for French fries or pasta without everything. They go to a meeting and cook fries and pasta without sauces and spices.
The pool is normal. There were plenty of sun beds in general, but right on the edge.
There are 2 bars, one on the beach and one by the pool, the set of drinks is the same. Often they are not given cans, but poured into a glass, then as luck would have it. There is no water in plastic bottles anywhere, there is an untitled bottle of water in the room. At the pool bar and in the restaurant, they pour from reusable bottles, there is a cooler on the beach in 50 degree heat, we did not drink water there.
If it suddenly gets bad, they will find a pressure device and are ready to call an ambulance.

Large rooms, lived on the 7th floor overlooking the lagoon and the bay. Check-in is only at 15 o'clock. We waited at the reception for 3 hours. Then they offered 2 rooms for the election, a large one on the second with a view of the pool and a smaller one ( 35 meters by 7 meters). That's what we took. A hotel on an artificial island with only 5-star hotels. A kilometer from the hotel there is a large complex of Apartments with shops and restaurants. We took breakfast and dinner, we had enough of a nice beach, clean. 50% of vacationers are Russian speakers. The hotel is expensive, there were no cattle. Gazprom's Unionpay was not accepted at the hotel. + she was not picked up at one of the two nearest grocery stores. Taxis are also only for cash. In Dubai, the map was held everywhere. The Wi-Fi at the hotel is great, but it slowed down on the beach

We had a rest at the end of July. Overall, I liked the hotel. Check-in takes place at 15 o'clock, check-out at 12. But if there are available rooms, they meet us halfway and check in earlier, they are evicted at 15 o'clock, which happened in our case, for which we are very grateful) The food was delicious, not all the dishes were suitable for us, but from all the variety, everyone could choose something to their liking from the Shvets table. According to the ultra all inclusive system, some cooling and alcoholic beverages were included, cocktails are paid separately. The rooms were cleaned daily, towels were changed for fresh ones. The beach is across the street, 10 minutes on foot, or by electric car, which was carried for free every 15 minutes, towels are given on the beach according to hotel cards, the beach is equipped with sun beds, tables, umbrellas, tables, chairs under a canopy at the bar, there are toilets, showers, places for changing clothes. The beach bar was open until 17.30, the hookah bar on the embankment and by the pool until 23 o'clock. There are many construction sites throughout the emirate, including near the hotel, right by the beach, some may be confused by the noise coming from it. There are no shops within walking distance, you need to get by transport, or buy in malls on days of visits to other emirates, during excursions, they take a lot of time for this (do not hesitate to bargain in the markets, the price is usually overestimated by 3 times). At the entrance to the hotel, you are greeted by a hostess in a smart traditional outfit, I really liked it, it pleased the eye) in the lobby, iced tea, homemade lemonade. The hotel itself and the rooms are very beautiful. Contrary to other reviews, the staff was friendly, smiling and sympathetic. but!!! There is no entertainment program, everything is closed at 23-00.00. And all that remains is to go to bed, and I attribute this to the disadvantage of the hotel.

We are in the hotel now. We arrived at the hotel at 8 a.m. We did not have to wait until 15 o'clock, we were given a room with a balcony overlooking the beach 645 immediately upon arrival, and there is a construction site under the windows and it is noisy all day and all night. The builders are especially trying to rattle at 7 a.m., so you won't be able to sleep any longer. Regarding the service, it is clear that the staff is trying, but they are sewn up, there are simply not enough of them. Hence the poor-quality cleaning, untidy tables in the restaurant.
On the second day we came to the beach. There are no beachboys on the beach, so no one makes sure that there are enough sunbeds. We arrived at 11 o'clock. There are either people or just towels on all the sun beds... moreover, I watched people leave for lunch and leave towels on the sun beds.
In other hotels, if there are towels, but there are no things, then towels are removed from the sunbed.... so go and justify yourself later, why don't you have a towel or a card for issuing it! One or two would have been punished like that, the rest would have thought about it... well, or add sun beds. There is a mountain of broken sun beds, shyly covered with a cloth. Will they be repaired? Hardly, but they don't take it out either.
We just sat on the beach on chairs, took a swim and went to the room. There was no comfort on the beach. About the queue for drinks is generally a separate topic.
I complained to the reception about the lack of free sunbeds and wrote to the hotel's website. A day later, 30 pieces of deck chairs were put up. So they heard me. Don't be silent, tell me if something is wrong!!
It's clear that we entertain ourselves with trips, but it's us.. I specifically chose a hotel without discos and animation. I am completely satisfied with this hotel. Good food, warm sea, comfortable room - these are the components of our real vacation!

The hotel is positioned at 5 stars, in fact 3 plus. There is no variety of food, chicken, fish of the same type and only sauces change. Rice, potatoes are the whole side dish. Fruits are apples and oranges, greyfruit and sometimes melon, which is immediately disassembled. Sweetly full of sleep but. The service at the drinks table is very long. They constantly ask for the room number, with each order of alcoholic beverages, the question arises - at the entrance they asked, at the table they asked, and with each order, what is the point of this, or do they practice learning numbers in English from vacationers. There are a lot of local Arabs, so they get more attention and service, it certainly catches the eye. Their children are always shameless and arrogant, but you can make fun of them.
Rooms for 5 plus, given a 2-room room, cleaning every day. There was an incident with the sewer, but it was not eliminated instantly, so thank you very much. The main bed is large, and the sofa is for an average height of a person.

We had a rest in December 2023.
I'll start with a good one. The buffet food is decent. A large selection. But - everything is too salty, spicy, however, there are pancakes and porridge for children.
The beach is wonderful. It's clean, they keep an eye on the sun beds, there were always free ones.
After December 10, I noticed for a long time that the water and air become cooler by literally two degrees, but quite noticeably.
Room cleaning is also of high quality.
Now about the cons.
I have not seen such a check-in in any hotel. 2.5 hours for a group of 10 people. The reception is poorly organized. All bookings have been paid for. The children fell asleep, the adults quarreled. The 5-star hotel!
Wi-Fi worked until December 13 without interruptions, after that neither on the beach nor in the room to watch a movie, only intermittently, waiting for messages, not to mention movies.. What's it? The end of the season?
The food in the restaurants is disgusting, even in Lebanese, where they ask you to put 5 after each meal, demanding to download the app (a nightmare), I don't even want to mention the rest. The pirate club is one name, unionpay card machines do not accept, there is no one to change bills for small change, the child was crying.
In the pool bar, cocktails are made by eye, almost without alcohol, the bar is closed at 20.
There is no leisure at all, but every day they call for fur coats. Don't waste your time. In Moscow, everything is much tastier, cheaper, and better. There is only the sea here. And preferably all inclusive

We were at this hotel in April 2023. The hotel is located on a bulk island. Clean, the food is good, in principle, you can always find familiar dishes. The hotel is large, pleasant territory and embankment. The beach itself is a 3-minute walk away, if you are too lazy to go, then regularly oversees a shuttle for 6 seats (naturally free). In general, the territory of the entire island is under construction, but it does not cause any noise or dirt to tourists. As is customary everywhere in the UAE, all construction sites are hidden from the eyes of vacationers, the territories between the hotels are large, there is a place to walk in the evening. Of the surprises - I found out that there are no waves in the water on the island at all, and sometimes I just wanted to swing on the waves, but it turns out there is no such phenomenon on the bulk islands ...
I realized for myself that it's worth resting in such a place, but the second time if I go, then after many years, to see how everything will change. I bet 5 for new discoveries.

I'll start in order, if you have an early arrival, be prepared to wait 15 hours, they won't check in earlier, I arrived at the hotel at 14 o'clock, had lunch and got room 637 this is the 6th floor and the windows overlook the pool, so it's quiet. A room without a balcony, they promised to change it for 2 days, some promises are useless. Okay, hot tmho, if the windows are on the sea, then the construction site is huge under the windows both day and night. The beach has no complaints, the sunset is good, but strong tides after lunch, Now there are minuses and a lot of them, the third day there is no room cleaning,i.e. they come at 14 o'clock when you rest,it's just a nightmare in the canteen, I haven't seen this in the UAE, whenever you come the tables are littered with leftovers and no one he is in a hurry to clean them up, the grub is terrible, there are no napkins or tablecloths on the tables, only one paper napkin per person, there are no teaspoons, wooden sticks instead, watermelons are cut with a crust for breakfast, only melons and oranges for lunch, everything always ends and they are in no hurry to add. Good reviews on the site are a catch. They go to all the rooms and ask to leave a positive review, once again they will not forget anyone, they come to everyone. In the restaurant, the chef himself comes up and asks for a review. Be prepared for the fact that the bed linen will not be changed for all 10 days. When you are waiting for bugs on the beach, there is nowhere to sit, and you will stand in the heat. Yes, there is plenty for drinkers here, there will be no free drinks on the beach in the morning, you have to wait for 25 minutes. I fell for the name of the hotel, I thought it was a chain hotel and it would be good. Upon arrival in Moscow, I will write a complaint to the tour operator and let them bring all these delights to the management. This hotel is for tourists who are abroad for the first time

It's all good. My expectations were fulfilled. The service is excellent. The food is good. The girls at the reception even upgraded the room class upon check-in. Everyone is friendly. A car constantly runs to the beach. The only drawback, if you want something, is that the nearest store is about 30 minutes on foot.

The high rating of the hotel is based on reviews left before February 2024. After all, at that time the owners of the hotel were Arabs. Since February 2024, the French have bought the hotel and it has not gone unnoticed. The redecoration of the hall, the new logo, the waving flags are just a beautiful cover. The rooms have not been updated since 2013 (the year of construction). The carpet is stained, the furniture is pretty tired, it's unpleasant to touch the curtains. A set of towels for one person was placed in the room for three people, and bed linen for only two people. The bottles of care products are empty, dental kits and bathrobes are not put in, toilet paper is one roll. When asked to provide the necessary funds, the reception staff is rude. To the restaurant, no, rather to the dining room, there is a queue. People gather before the start of the meal. The door is locked with three locks so that no one "breaks through" earlier for a minute. The food is spicy, the assortment is meager compared to last year. If you didn't make it to the beginning, there will be frankly nothing to eat at the end. The waiters do not clean dirty plates, all the tables are crowded. The hall is not designed for a fully populated hotel. However, the staff is not prepared for such a volume of residents. The room can be cleaned only by 16 o'clock, even if you asked at 8 am, going to the beach. They do not respond to requests, they have "few staff and full workload." The bar, which is open from 10 o'clock and "until sunset", has very conveniently come up with opening hours. After all, no one knows who has the sunset and at what time, maybe it is at 18 o'clock, or maybe at 17, in any case, the bartenders do not overwork and close at a convenient time for them, even if they see the queue standing behind the drinks, they closed the curtains and that's it. Rest turns into a round-the-clock struggle, then for a place in the "dining room", then for a sunbed, then for a drink at the bar or a place in the delivery to the hotel. People now travel entirely Russian and are not always accustomed to foreign resorts. We will not return to the hotel anymore, but you decide for yourself.

We had a rest in October 2023 with a family with daughters of 6 years and 1.5 years. Friendly staff, good cleaning, excellent buffet food. There was always fish in sauce for lunch and dinner, 2 types of chicken. There were often beef steaks and stewed, for children there were always 2 types of pasta except for breakfast. Rice in different types, just white, pilaf with meat, rice with vegetables. Of the drinks that are included in the food, apple juice, orange, pineapple, water, tea, coffee. There were always soups. Even a 1.5-year-old child was always found something to feed. A lot of pastries, pies, various breads, pita bread, rolls.
By the pool, free water, tonic, sweet sodas, tea, coffee. Paid ice cream, lemonades, smoothies. Orange juice on the beach and by the pool has never been available, although it is included in the list of drinks for free.
There was not enough pasta for breakfast, cucumbers tomatoes tasteless. The rest of the cabbage, greens, salads were all delicious.
The first days at the hotel, the staff was kind of unfriendly, I was surprised. But on the third day, everyone began to smile a lot, open the door in front of the stroller, always ran to help. So I think it was just a coincidence in the early days))) it's a bit hot to go to the beach even in the morning and evening, we were there at 39-41 degrees. Walk 5 minutes slowly. The transfer goes often, it takes 3 minutes to get to the beach with traffic lights. Sometimes they waited for a transfer, there were no 10 minutes and since they were waiting in the heat, they went to the pool, since they didn't want to go to the beach anymore.
The room was a little tired. There was a musty smell from the toilet at night. The lights were turned off in the bathroom and toilet for 2 days. To fix it, it was necessary to go to the reception, since only English speakers answered the calls. Separate greetings to the maids, they cleaned well, the bed was changed almost daily, missed a couple of times, towels are fresh every day.
The indoor pool is very cold, we went once. The Jacuzzi is hot, the pool is cold, not comfortable. Therefore, there is always almost no one there. Outside in the pool is very comfortable, it is cooled. You get used to the first 10 seconds, and then you didn't get out with the children for 2 hours. The eldest and 3 hours swam without a break. Sometimes in the evenings there is a wind by the pool, it gets cool.
We were unexpectedly surprised when we came to the beach in the evening, and it closes as the sun has set. It's still light, but it's already closed. We returned to the pool and it's closed there. We did not know about such a feature that everything closes after sunset, although it is still light for almost an hour. But nothing, they found out and adjusted their schedule further to this feature.
In general, with all the pros and cons, we had a very good rest, the hotel is excellent. The main thing is non-alcoholic, no one breaks the peace. It's perfect with children. Thank you to the staff for doing everything to make us rest!

Great hotel. In winter, it is wonderful to relax in hot countries and in comfortable, quiet hotels. The fish on the pier are incomparable. The beach is across the street, but it's not scary, but it's comfortable.

A wonderful hotel. All issues that arise are resolved instantly. The rooms are large. The beach is very clean. The bartenders at the bar are just aerobatics. The alcohol is very high quality. There is a choice of food in the restaurant. You won't be hungry. But there are a lot of spicy dishes. Take a little bit and try it. The spa and gym are super. Of the cons: the bartender by the pool.

The hotel is missing!...it was good in it until February 1, 2024, while the owners were Arabs. One February night, the French changed the sign and attributes of the hotel and condemned it to negative reviews. There are queues for 1.5-2 hours in the restaurant, which has been turned into a canteen, the doors from the guests are locked with locks that the staff cannot open immediately. The restaurant's premises are not designed to fully load the hotel, and I'm not even talking about the staff, it's just not enough. If you come to breakfast for the opening, then there are no waffles, no pancakes, no omelette, no scrambled eggs yet. The chefs who do all this pull up only after 20-30 minutes, slowly start cooking, and a queue forms again. If you come for breakfast, lunch or dinner, after standing in line, then empty plates from disassembled dishes are no longer replenished, you have to be content with the leftovers. The assortment is meager. The waiters can not cope with so many guests, the tables are filled with dirty dishes. The rooms are poorly cleaned, sometimes you have to remind after lunch that the cleaning has not been done. The furniture, TVs, carpet, towels and bed linen are sooooo tired. The mini-bar is empty, and the drinks offered last year are missing. There is water, but now it is in glass bottles, without a label, open, what is poured there is unknown. The French save on everything from the staff to the comfort of the guests. The first sign of failed management is the absence of local Arabs among the vacationers. They just stopped coming here. The reception is rude, not qualified, not to mention the knowledge of the Russian language. The decline in the rating of the hotel can be traced throughout. Our vacation was accompanied by a struggle for survival according to the "all inclusive" system. The hotel received payment for the lack of services. I do not recommend it!!!

Accommodation in February 2022. The room was great, spacious with a central view of the pool and the sea. The service is friendly, the room has everything you need. The cuisine is varied, it's delicious to me), there is a national Indian. The guests are multinational. A shuttle to Dubai Expo stopped at the hotel, very convenient! Beach: across the street from the hotel, towels at the entrance, generally cozy. There are water activities on the beach. During my stay there were strong tides and there was no sea, the bottom is muddy, who likes space, there is not much of it. Sun beds and tables were periodically covered with droppings due to birds, it was sometimes selectively washed off the sun beds by employees. There are long sports tracks along the road near the hotel. There is a mini embankment.

We rested at the hotel in September 2023. In general, we were very satisfied with the rest, but there are nuances. But remember - your rest and its success depends primarily on your attitude to the situation and the way to solve it (for me, the main thing was to relax as much as possible without being distracted by problematic moments and quickly forgetting about them; not to look for minuses, but to see only the good for myself in everything).I put 4*.
At the hotel, most of the tourists were from Russia, so there was always a Russian-speaking staff at the reception, who immediately solved all the issues that arose. There were no bathrobes in the room - they were brought; an ironing board and iron were brought on request and were not taken away for the entire period of stay. The rooms require a little repair, but these are quite small things (for example, a worn wall). Room cleaning leaves much to be desired: by the time of your pre-dinner return to the room from the beach or pool, cleaning will not be done, even while you are at lunch - you will return to the dirty room again, but as soon as you want to lie down, they will come to clean... To the request to come later - only the next day. The balcony and the balcony door are not washed apparently in principle: dust and debris on the balcony, the glass is all stained (since the moment of settlement, and so it has not been wiped from the inside, not from the outside). The bed linen may turn out to have holes, or spots of something you don't understand. In the bathroom, they do not monitor that you are running out of shampoo / gel / conditioner (reusable dispensers are hanging). There are no hygienic bags. Tea, coffee, water and sugar are reported. But, the mugs in the room may be chipped and cracked. There is no toothbrush cup in the bathroom. You can dry the laundry only on a rope, which is located in the shower (in summer and in September there is high humidity, and nothing will dry on the balcony). The air conditioner works perfectly! The location is also good: it does not blow directly on the bed or on your head. The beach is about 5 minutes on foot along a shaded path. Electric cars drive, but sometimes you can't wait for them, or there's a big queue.
Bars: there are 2 of them - by the pool in the courtyard of the hotel, and on the beach. They work from 10 to 18 hours, but sometimes they close earlier. On the beach 2 out of 7 days in the morning there was no light, only water was given. At other times, soft drinks. Bartenders are extremely serious (tired), it's definitely not worth waiting for them to smile or keep up a conversation, jokes or a little more attention. And by the pool in the bar, you can stand for a long time and wait for the bartender to come to his workplace, having solved all personal questions by phone.
Security guards throughout the territory, including on the beach, lifeguards. There are animators on the beach - they play volleyball in the afternoon (16-17 hours). But keep in mind - they will not invite you. If you see that several animators have started throwing the ball to each other, you need to go to them.
Meals at the restaurant (he is alone). They let you in by room number. There is not enough space in the restaurant, so sometimes there is a queue for the entrance in standby mode (this happens more often for dinner). Breakfast - one type of porridge, scrambled eggs, scrambled eggs, pancakes, waffles, hot, fruits, vegetables, cereals, yoghurts. There are no dates, raisins and nuts. Coffee is terribly tasteless, purely from the vending machine. Lunches and dinners have 3-4 types of meat and one type of fish (white), the side dish is also 3-4 dishes. Salads, vegetables, desserts and fruits. There is always an Indian corner separately: basmati rice, chickpeas, curry. We have extremely mixed feelings about the service in the restaurant, because of the special diet for honey.indications (gluten-free). On the first day, they approached the manager, the chefs, asked what was possible and what was not, but at first the staff reacted extremely indifferently. When, on the second day of rest, I felt unwell due to an error in the diet, the conversation was tougher, and only with two managers and two cooks we were able to find a compromise and understanding of the whole situation, for which we thank them very much!!! The manager Ajin Dinesan, with his attention to our situation, saved the rating of our review, brightened up our meals, negotiating dishes with the chefs (we were cooked separately meat and fish, desserts, pancakes for breakfast). But they need to take a closer look at the waiters' work - the guys work slowly, the plates are taken away for a very long time.
I do not know how further rest will develop in this hotel, since the new owners have bought it and are beginning to change the concept of the entire rest in this place.
You can walk only a little around the hotel, walk to the neighboring one (2-4 km in one direction along an equipped path). There is no shop in the hotel, they said that it will open only on October 1, when the season officially begins. There is always a taxi, but payment is only in cash.

I can't say what happened before. I'm writing what I have in fact:
The restaurant is small, well, or they didn't give him enough space... In the evening, you need to queue for dinner at the entrance to the restaurant and so on every day.
The beach bar: we have been here for 4 days and not a single day has the bar worked according to its schedule-it is constantly closed earlier by 15-20 minutes and so the working hours are up to 17-30 in total!!! the service at the bar is very slow, today we stood in line for drinks for 45 minutes, although there were 10-12 people in the queue.
Now from the good news: a lot of staff speaks Russian, the rooms are cleaned well.

The hotel itself is beautiful, well-maintained territory.
But it's time to make repairs. The ceiling is gray in divorce, the tiles in the bathroom refuse, the plumbing also needs repair.
The windows are dirty, they decided on the balcony too. It's time to clean the carpet too.
Our Windows overlooked the pool, but on the other side there is a construction site under the windows. The road has been excavated, excavators are working all day and trucks are driving.
The beach is nearby. You can walk, you can drive a golf cart.
Sun beds and towels are free of charge.
There are no shops nearby, there is no shopping center.
The nearest supermarket is 15-20 minutes on foot. There are two restaurants nearby (except the main one), but the food is so-so.

I really liked it, we want to come back again. I went with my son of 4 years old, friendly staff, huge rooms (we had a two-room with two bathrooms and a huge balcony without extra charges), delicious food, a cool path to the beach (the beach is on the other side, it was very cool to walk in the shade), silence and comfort! There is nothing around the hotels - no shops (to the nearest 2.5 km), nothing, but that's what we were looking for, a relaxing holiday. WiFi worked everywhere, including on the beach. The beach looks into the bay (other hotels will be visible).

I liked the hotel upon arrival.We stopped by on Monday.On Thursday, local Indians began to visit.The restaurant is full of noise from them.Children run around with dirty hair shaking the dishes at the distribution.They ride jet skis on the beach, so there's nothing to breathe, there's only fumes from them.The food is monotonous, but there seems to be enough of everything.There is always chicken, fish, lamb or beef for lunch and dinner.Fruits: apples, oranges, melon, sometimes pineapple.If you take the all-inclusive rate: the beach bar provides alcoholic beverages from 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., then the bar closes.There is a pool bar until 20_30.There are no more bars.In the restaurant, you can also order alcoholic beverages during meals, but they bring it for a very long time, you will have time to eat everything, if you order beer, then you will normally quickly get poisoned two days before departure.I couldn't eat anything for a day, I coped with antibiotics.

A great place for a family holiday. 85% are Russian or Russian-speaking tourists. A lot of people with children. There are no drunks!))
The rooms are spacious and cozy. The view from the balcony is gorgeous! The administrators are very responsive and competent. Elena is so smart in general! The only thing is that you will have to get used to the climate a little. The food is excellent, there are many different dishes. Always fresh pastries and pastry.

I won't give you more than three stars.. A small selection of food .. Three types of meat, one dish is chicken, one is fish, one is mutton and that's it.. There weren't even any salads during the week.. The room was cleaned three times in 8 days.. Towels for three are 4 pieces.. The linen was not changed.. Robes with three approaches were requested.. Supplies: dental supplies, tea, water were not replenished.. The phone rings at night.. The toilet at the pool is not suitable for dirty.. The beach is only good.. They carry clean sanitary facilities and towels are provided
