The sea is across the road. There is a large swimming pool. The staff is responsive, there is a shopping center within walking distance. The room is cozy, there is a TV refrigerator. The room has a balcony.
Everything is great, but there is nowhere to go, only excursions to Sharjah or Dubai are far away. The beach has its own, there are many sun loungers, the pools are open for both children and adults.
The hotel is super, the staff service I liked so much, I didn't see a single person without a smile, everything is so good the stuffy beach is decorated with salty water, well, healthy chefs are very tasty to cook, I'm glad that I chose this hotel Al HAMRA
Disgusting hotel! The worst hotel in my life! Don't believe in the positive reviews about this hotel. I also bought into them when the price choice was the same as 5* other hotels (Hilton, Radisson, etc.) and everyone who got into this hotel was shocked. Very dirty! Especially in the dining room, broken dishes, dirty, dirty on the tables! This is 3* Egypt! There is an alcohol bar on site and foreigners come to this bar from the city, drink and smoke. You can't take a walk with a child.
Great hotel. There are minor flaws, sometimes I had to ask to clean the room. The kitchen is good , maybe there were not enough salads, they do not know how to make them . And so a great beach, polite staff, and the Arabian night in all its glory
The food was delicious, we had an all-inclusive system, including alcoholic beverages. The room is clean, I clean it daily, towels are also changed daily.
Cozy hotel, clean, with its own beach. There are not so many people. The cuisine is not very diverse, but you will definitely not stay hungry. Parrots are flying all over the territory. The hotel is suitable for a very quiet and relaxing holiday. There are several cafes/restaurants within 5-10 minutes on foot. In 20- shopping center
We are currently having a rest at the hotel (August 2022).
The hotel is good, in a mature style, we took all-inclusive meals (I think this is important, since rest with a child, also this meal includes both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks), it is very expensive to buy drinks here yourself, one non-alcoholic cocktail costs more than 1000 rub... the menu is not too rich, but everything is very tasty, especially the fish. The food is mostly peppery, but you can ask for a side dish without pepper for a child and they will cook it for you. The beach is nice, clean, white sand, lots of free sunbeds, there are 3 pools, they are small, 2 are too warm, one with cool water. There is a children's club, works from 9 to 18.30, a Sadaf girl works there, very nice, works with children, draws, plays, dances) They also gave us a club hat and a T-shirt, very cool) The staff is responsive, if you ask for something, they try to do everything, everything is very good in this regard. There is no transfer to Dubai, go by taxi-the price is about 7000 rubles one way, excursions to Dubai are about 70 dollars for an adult and 60 for a child.
We arrived at the hotel at 9 am, by 10 o'clock we had already prepared a room + made an upgrade and provided a room with a balcony. The room is normal, the only thing in the dark there are few light sources in the main room - only 2 bedside lamps. There were also not enough European sockets (2 pieces per room), so take an adapter for American ones.
The territory of the hotel is clean, green, constantly cleaned and doing something. The beach is a 5-minute walk away, you can call the reception and a golf cart will arrive. At the reception, as in the whole hotel, the staff is polite and smiling, but they practically do not understand Russian.
The beach is sandy, there were enough sunbeds at any time of the day, most of the vacationers were located near the pools.
The cuisine is not as diverse as in Turkey, but everything is present in order to eat. There is always a choice between fish, chicken and beef (pork is missing for obvious reasons), several side dishes to choose from, desserts, fruits) very tasty pineapples). Alcohol is served at bars from 11 to 23, imported German beer, strong alcohol of unknown brands, but of good quality, in cocktails it comes with a bang.
I recommend buying excursions from the Egyptian Mustafa, he is located on the 1st floor of the Residence, he is cheaper than the guides by 10-15%. Also, through Mustafa, you can go shopping in a promotional fur and leather store, from there they take you for free to the Brands For Less chain store, I advise you to buy clothes, shoes and perfume there, the prices for original branded items are 2 times lower than in Russia.
The biggest disenchantment of the Emirates (( this hotel was specially chosen because of the playground, the Tatars did not find it there in reality ((
And the rest is fine, the staff is exactly 50/50 there are absolutely adequate employees, Sofia for example, or a good person at the entrance who just drove a child in an electric car around the area)) and there are complete inadequates who do not give beer in a jar with them, drink on a chaise longue by the sea in the evening, and pour into a plastic glass in one copy)) to the client who has everything in everything))) replaced from an open jar ))) guys it's not 5 *
And yes, building construction instead of music at night is for an amateur))) room with sea view (construction site)))
But we are on the positive side - the sea, the sun and everything is good!
We lived in a Village, here on Yandex it is one hotel. We arrived for a week for 200 thousand breakfast and dinner. The hotel itself - the villas are cute, the rooms have a comfortable bed, a bunch of pillows, snow-white linen, a big TV with Russian channels. You can use the gym of the neighboring 5* hotel, and you will walk to the beach through its territory.
The pain of this hotel is food - it is simply not designed for such a number of people - a queue is formed before the opening of the dining room, after 15 minutes the food ends, free tables, plates, coffee mugs, appliances end. If you come later in an hour, there are untidy tables and there are no clean dishes. The food is monotonous, but this is nonsense - there is no such thing, you can ask for pasta 4-5 times, they nod and silence. The tables are not cleaned almost, some of the vacationers themselves push the dirty dishes away, someone asks the staff. Every meal is stressful. We have two "receptions" thank God, the third time we go to eat in a cafe, for example, two Caesar salads and 1 wine and 1 beer = 150 dirhams (about 3 thousand rubles).
We take sun loungers on the sea at 7 am, they are three times less than people!
I don't recommend it
We traveled here for many years before the pandemic. We were in the village from January 2 to January 4. Of course, everything is already old and tired. But it's a great breakfast and I just like it there. I enjoyed my stay. I recommend. I think the lowest price is in ras al Khaimah. I won't say anything about Dubai
Super hotel! The cleanest beaches , with white sand . There is vegetation . Sooo delicious cuisine . The rooms are nice , cleaned every day . The only thing I lost. two things : a blood glucose meter and underwear . The sea is nearby in 5 minutes
In general, it is possible for once. The number of rooms is tired, the food is weak (if compared with Turkey), but in general, as they wrote, you will not stay hungry, the staff is trying to do well in this. But in the season, the capacity of the restaurant according to the buffet system will not cope, as they say, you will eat in turn :). The beach is great, the sun beds and umbrellas are decent. For drinks: juices, wine packaging. Spritl, cola, fanta, schweppes, canned beer. Strong alcohol seems to be imported (well, what else, there is hardly a local one in the UAE). Within walking distance there is a local shopping center with a supermarket of products . It is 80 km from Dubai, so a vacation in Ras El Kharma is more suitable for a beach holiday.Yes, by the way, there are a lot of distant tiles on the bottom of the pools, and in general the pools are asking for updates.There are Russian channels in the rooms on TV after the 50th, they seem to start.
The hotel is outdated, in need of repair, which they started to do, for half of the building, but without thinking about the tourists they are settling in, on the other part of the building. From 6.30 in the morning they start their hubbub and drilling with a hammer drill and until 6 pm. Why are vacationing tourists who pay huge money for this hotel, like for 5k, and the food is weak and have to listen to this noise? Do these rich sheikhs really have no conscience at all?! Well, close this hotel for half a year and make repairs. Moreover, both children's pools were even closed, again due to repairs. I do not recommend this hotel yet, as it is noisy and very dusty there. The food is generally weak for 5 people. After the repair, of course, maybe it will get better there. Since October, there has been no entertainment and a children's club there. About the sea, very warm, clean and white sand. There were enough deck chairs for everyone. The hotel itself is very boring, definitely not for young people.
The food is monotonous, without frills, but quite edible. Room service is mediocre. The beach is beautiful. The staff is peculiar, they promise everything, but they don't do anything, or they don't do everything at once, for example, they asked for five days in a row to bring an iron to the room, and they didn't wait. The room is "shabby", the phone did not work, the ceiling light fell out in the bathroom, towels were brought to get out of the shower, then not. The cleanliness of the cleaning wants the best.
A great hotel for your money. Food, alcohol, sea, refrigerated pools (in summer) - a solid five. However, there was no animation in the summer of 2023.
Rested late October early November 2023. I must say right away that it is not possible to be in hotels, there is construction, noise and dust from morning to late evening hours until 23.00, rumbling and knocking. Even on the sea, hotels are being built on both sides.
Al hamra residence 5 rooms are normal, spacious. Food in hotels for 3 as in principle and everywhere (pasta, rice, chicken, fish, vegetables, salads, soup, fruits were only watermelon, melon, papaya, desserts 1-2 pieces to choose from, breakfast omelet, croissants, juice, coffee) for an amateur. But the Village 4 hotel is something.. rooms killed in the trash, dirt in the rooms, cockroaches. Food for 2 with a minus, there was not enough food, who did not have time, he was late)To reach the sea, you have to walk through the construction site through the mud in the heat, I was resting with a one-year-old child. I estimate 2 hotels since my parents were at 5, and my husband and I at 4, if we go then at 5, but only when the construction is finished there. Nearby there is a shopping center with food and clothing.
Number: there were two of us. There is only one robe. His belt apparently played tug of war. There are two hangers. In the kitchen, the light was not turned off by a single switch. The extractor hood in both toilets did not work and therefore the smell of dampness in the room was from cleaning to cleaning (until sprinkled with freshener). There is dirt in the room in places. And it was never cleaned during our entire week's stay. Of the advantages of the room: it is two-room, though for people with disabilities (these are additional handrails, for example), two toilets, an ironing board and an iron. The mattress of the bed was terrible. I'm used to sleeping on medium hardness. But here. I got up every morning with a wild pain in my neck and back. I changed sides with my husband. I was cleaning pillows. I've done everything. Yes, it's individual. But I got it! The room was on the ground floor. There is an exit to the street. But you won't sit - the sounds of a road under construction. Yes, and there is no table and chair at least. There was a kitchen, but there was only a kettle and two mugs from the dishes.
Construction site! This is a separate topic. Construction is a tin! One tall building is being repaired. There is a sleeve through which workers throw off garbage. In addition to a strong rumble, the dust still flies. And you breathe it by the pool. By the way, only one pool worked. There are no questions about the pool. Everything is fine! The water is changed, the dude monitors the discipline and the children. There are various inflatable games and gadgets for swimming for children. Beach: nice, but! Construction site on the left and right. Excavators are making noise. Workers walk through the sunbeds and carry pipes. There are four sun beds for one umbrella. We even had an incident when our things were put aside and our sunbeds were occupied. Like they didn't have enough space. Russians are still extremely uncultured! It's a shame! The sea is warm and clean. You don't walk on the beach. There are construction sites and fences on both sides. Therefore, for example, it will not be possible to take a walk in the evening and look down) . There is also only one shower to rinse off at the beach. And of the two cranes, one works.
Toilet and changing room. It stinks like a train station toilet. Ankle-deep water on the floor. Yes, Condey is fucking around. But it's just dirty. I haven't seen a cleaning lady there in a week.
There's nowhere to go in the evenings. There are also roads around the construction site. Everything is dusty and dug up. Yes, maybe they will do everything quickly. But it is necessary to warn.
When we were there, people changed the number three times. Because they were given, the numbers are not nearby. Although they paid and wrote about it in advance. Then with dirty windows and apparently on the construction site.
We had a room for the road. But even that .. in the morning, the squeaking of cars and loading. You can hear it already at 7 am.
There is no animation from the word at all. A petting zoo for two hours once a week - I don't count.
Food. Of the pros - no indigestion ! Monotonous. Does not pull on the number of dishes for five. Two fruit options (watermelon and melon / grapefruit / orange / pineapple), three dessert options (uncomplicated), packaged juices and poured into the machine, salads are (but not classic European, but apparently experimental, with fruits and lettuce leaves for example), side dish (always rice in several variations, potatoes, pasta, chicken, beef. All with different sauces like fried potatoes in the morning, rosemary in the afternoon, curry in the evening. There was a beef tongue in sauce. Carbonate pasta without bacon, ala Thai vermicelli. The fish is either Tilapia, or it is unclear what kind. In different versions of roasting. And it's not all at once. And within a week . To make it clear that this is not a discrepancy, this is an enumeration of everything)) . There is a menu for children. But he must be asked. It's not worth it. There is one version of porridge in the morning. Sometimes yoghurts, but not packed in plastic trays, but with a common vat. There are dried fruits and nuts. There are pastries in the morning - Kurasan without everything, pancake and sauces, and two versions of buns. There is a coffee machine. Dishes are not always cleaned promptly. There are no napkins from the word at all on the table. Only fabric, put it on your knees. Teaspoons are always in short supply. One of the advantages is that the staff is smiling.
The rate at which they change the currency in order to take a deposit and tax is extremely unprofitable for them. And they don't change the currency if you need to pay for a bar, for example, and you don't have dirhams, only dollars.
Internet! Great! Stable. Even on the beach there is a partial. That's fine)
The deposit was returned to us. No questions asked. Although during the eviction we saw another group of people who moved out of the hotel. Apparently, this is a frequent topic for them. But here's a little thing like coming back from breakfast the next day and bumping into a locked door.
From such trifles, a five-star service is formed. It's not here. But I wouldn't cling so much if they declared themselves lower in status and there would be no construction. The construction is terrible. After the vacation, the head is quadrant from the constant rumbling. And yes. A lot of Russian. And when there are a lot of them, it's terrible.. for some reason, Russians do not know how to behave normally. Stealing food in a restaurant, drunken screams, snatching plates from a waiter to grab food faster. From the hungry edge or something?! Straight ugh…
Cockroaches on the street on sun beds (which are on the grass). Flies at the sunbeds. Maybe it's worth cultivating the territory somehow?
I will never return to this hotel again and I will not recommend it to anyone!!! Terribly
We rested in the period from 03.07 to 11.07. Service, food, drinks are definitely not 5*, but 3*. The staff is all tortured and smiles at nothing, and with very unhappy faces they serve drinks, food and communicate, but the worst thing is that in this case the apple watch was stolen from our room, as usual, leaving everything in the room on the table, never thinking about what is generally acceptable in the UAE, as we have been visiting this country for years, but this hotel just killed us! The saddest thing is that the theft occurred on the last day of our vacation, we started packing and found that there was no clock. We went straight to the reception, but they could not help us there, the girl at the reception wrote down what the hours were, said through the translator that she would clarify, but after that we did not see her at the reception and no one could answer us. Due to the fact that we had to leave for the airport already, no one provided us with the clock or any information. In general, we will definitely never go to this hotel again and I do not recommend it to anyone. Think about it a few times when you choose this hotel.
It's okay! We didn't notice any flaws. The window did not open, as the room has no balcony, but you can live with it. In early April, the weather was excellent, 29-30, the sea 24-25. We will definitely go again.
We were with grandchildren from 27.10 to 06.11.2023. The sea is beautiful. The rooms are large - you don't need them. Room cleaning is mediocre. Several times we asked for help at the reception. There is a construction site around. The food is good, there is a children's menu for children, ice cream for lunch.
Nice hotel. It is the Residence, Village that is much easier and further from the sea. Wide beaches and large rooms. The food is not very diverse, but there is always everything.
We had a rest with two children in early March . To say that you liked it is not to say anything ! We were absolutely delighted . In the morning , birdsong , the sounds of nature , waking up at dawn was one of the types of pleasure . Breakfast is not Turkey, but everything is very tasty, every morning we were met by a smiling girl in the restaurant, if any questions helped, the staff is generally very helpful.the children had plenty to choose from for lunch and dinner , even the baby was given 9 months as porridge , mashed potatoes , boiled meat . Having breakfast outside was wonderful , especially early in the morning .
The territory of the hotel is incredible, flowers, greenery, palm trees, a 10-minute walk to the sea. The beach is huge , there are enough sunbeds .
We 've been remembering for a month now and we want to go again , and
on the third day of rest , we thought about whether we should go to the May holidays here )
But on the way to the hotel, we read all the reviews about not varied food. And so , the priority was not living in huge buildings , but something like bungalows and nature , not every hotel in the emirates can boast of such a territory .
In general, the hotel is not bad. We took all-inclusive meals. The deposit of 500 dirhams was not taken from us. We paid only a tourist tax of $ 35 for 8 nights.
The contingent is 90 percent Russian-speaking - Russians, many Kazakhs, Belarusians.
The staff speaks only English.
Nice, spacious rooms.
The territory of the hotel is not large and not particularly well-groomed. But there are good locations for photos.
Two small pools and one very small for kids.
The sea is beautiful. The beach is sand mixed with seashell. The entrance is flat.
Everyone who is on an all-inclusive diet is wearing red bracelets. After reading the negative reviews, we were ready for the worst. But it's not so bad. Breakfast is standard - eggs in different types, sausages, some hot dishes, porridge, yoghurts, pastries, fruits, nuts. Lunches and dinners are not as diverse as in Turkey or Egypt. But there is always one dish of meat, poultry and fish. Side dish - rice, potatoes, vegetables, pasta. From fruits - pineapple, watermelon, melon, arelsin, grapefruit. There are delicious desserts. Dishes are prepared differently every day. We could always find something to eat to our liking. They cook quite tasty.
According to the "all inclusive" system, you can use the bars. Drinks only. There are no snacks. From drinks juices, in bags carbonated drinks in cans, mineral water and several types of cocktails. And also alcohol of good quality. The spouse liked alcohol here more than in Turkey and Egypt.
Nice hotel. Alcohol is on the level, the service is good. The sea is beautiful. The only negative is that 90% of Russian-speaking tourists do not have a single employee who understands Russian at the reception
The sea is super! A quiet, family-run hotel. The atmosphere is calm. There is nothing to do in the city, only one supermarket. A 4* hotel, there are no disposable sets!
- Arabs (local) on weekends.
No bar in the lobby.
Ice cream is only for children in the restaurant.
No extra beds in the rooms, only one double.
+Very polite and smiling staff.
The hotel is not new and it is noticeable. Old plumbing and furniture is a fact. Poor nutrition, although everything is included. For those who travel with young children, I probably did not recommend this hotel, you will encounter difficulties with a children's table ... in fact, it is missing. Otherwise, Arabic cuisine, respectively. The territory of the hotel is not large, but autumn is green. Lawns, flowers, palm trees. The beach is huge, there are a lot of sunbeds, but not always enough. The entry into the sea is good, quite smooth, which is convenient for children. Clean and warm water. There are 2 bars. On the beach and in the swimming pools. By the way, there are as many as 3 pcs. There is no animation in the hotel, but the friendly staff. As a result: the hotel does not pull on the declared 5 *. There is little information on the Internet, which does not give a complete picture before buying a ticket. Without children, it will do, but not the most loyal price tags.
Were in early March 2023. Nice hotel. Of the disadvantages in the room, only a tired mattress and the audibility of neighbors, but this is for whom, I have a very light sleep. The food is excellent, although the reviews write about the lack of food, it is brought as it is emptied, quickly enough. There is only one coffee machine and it is not enough, this is a minus. Also, the hotel bar can quickly run out of alcohol, you have to go to the bar in Al Hamra residence. Of course, the food is more varied in Turkey or Egypt, but in general we are more than satisfied. The beach is clean, the water is comfortable, transparent, there are enough sunbeds, towels are given out. Sometimes there were not enough staff with the influx of guests, this is a question for the management, but they are smiling and hospitable. For all excursions, please contact Abdul, he is sitting in the neighboring building of Al Hamra residence, on the way to the beach just, his prices are lower and in general a great guy. He says he hasn't cheated anyone yet)
While there is a solid three, everything is under development.the trees are young, they grow and grow. The lawns are well maintained, the flowers are planted. But they're always redoing something. Then the pool will be closed, then something is being dug, etc.
The resort is relatively young, construction is underway around it. The market is a bit far, in general, the distances here are kilometers.
The worst food, service and attitude. This is not a hotel, but it looks like a hotel. The canteen sucks. Not a single restaurant. The whole menu is Indian or Egyptian. If you have a weak stomach, you can stay hungry. Every Saturday they arrange a party around the pool, to which you are not invited. It is arranged for the Indians who came to visit. All the songs are naturally like in Bollywood movies on raucous speakers, you know who cares there. Of course, a table can be reserved for 100 dirhams. To eat seafood, not the best that have been prepared. The next day you will see all these seafood in the food.
Usually pilaf with meat, but here it is with mussels. Some kind of gravy will be with shrimp. Etc. Fu.
From the assortment of food: soups on vegetables, chicken. Like water, the broth looks a bit like a rollton. Plain rice, ala pilaf rice. Chicken meat beef meat. There is always Indian cuisine in the copper vat, sometimes something edible. The fish is similar to tilapia, but 5 times frozen. Like water.
A 2-star hotel. In poor countries, 3 stars are 100 times better. Avoid this hotel, the bad reviews are really true. Oh, yes, about the coastline. It's cool, but it's an artificial puddle. The water does not have time to cool down, during the day it is boiling water, at night too. There are no fish, there are almost no waves either. Swimming is not a thrill.
Excellent hotel, were 05.12.23-15.12 honestly liked more than near rixos (were November 20) quality, service, access on foot to the mall, the beach and the main extension of check-in on the day of departure- free and without problems, a deposit of 1000 dirs was also forgiven, I recommend for those who love silence., t to no entertainment. Price / Quality by 5
The food was very tasty and varied, but the cleaning had to be reminded by the staff every day, and we put the laundry in the laundry and sent it to the dry cleaner. As a result, we paid 30 dirhams. And so the hotel is very beautiful, the staff is polite, the food is delicious. And it's a pity that the staff does not speak Russian.
