It's a wonderful hotel! The staff is very kind, they always opened the door, there were also 2 free excursions. I liked it very much! In the morning, parrots flew to the balcony, and flamingos could be seen in the sea. And it won't take long to get to Burda Khalifa! Everything is fine!

A nice hotel with a homely atmosphere. There are wonderful attentive receptionists at the reception. They settled right away. The food is beyond praise! The cook has 10 stars!!!! Everything is very tasty and a lot!!! The waiters and the bartender are very pleasant and helpful people! It's all positive and friendly! We were vacationing with a friend, the room was 112. Comfortable! I didn't like the construction site nearby and the sea with algae a little. But there are places for swimming, and this is not a problem! Thanks a lot to the hotel staff! We will come again and recommend it to everyone! Sincerely, Elena and Ekaterina.

We had a rest with my husband from October 20 to November 2 in the new building. The rooms are excellent, spacious, comfortable bed, there is a workplace: an armchair and a coffee table. Good Internet connection allowed you to work remotely.
The food in the restaurant is not very diverse, but everything is delicious, especially the fish in batter, although there are no companions in taste and color. Thanks to the chef. I recommend taking "all inclusive", otherwise you will have to buy all alcoholic and carbonated drinks. And the prices are quite high.
The sea is for every taste. The hotel is always quiet and peaceful, as it is a bay, the warmest 30 degrees. If you leave the hotel and walk along the new road to the right, then the sea is open, turquoise and there may be waves. And if you don't need the sea, then you can swim in the pool.
We had a wonderful rest, I recommend the hotel for a relaxing family holiday, not for young people. We will be happy to come back ourselves. Thanks to all the staff of the hotel, the maids, the bartender, the managers at the reception, the canteen staff.

The room stock is good. The food is delicious, the choice is not great, but from the heart. The beach is private. It is located a little away from the city, it's a long way on foot. There is an Indian village nearby, a little scary, but safe. You can walk to the local museum, there is nothing special in the museum, take pictures, just pass the time, the entrance ticket is like 5 dirhams. Since few people go to this hotel, the round-trip transfer was individual, on a Camry, comfortable, fast. There are a lot of mosquitoes in the evening, this is a minus. There are not many people in the hotel, locals like to relax, but they do not interfere at all. There is one free one-hour boat trip from the hotel. The rating is "4" only for the location, so the hotel is not bad.

We had a vacation with a child in October 2024 . In general, I liked the hotel, the rooms are large, the territory is well maintained, the staff is very friendly and helpful.The hotel is for a relaxing, quiet stay, there are no animations, but music is playing by the pool.The food is good, the assortment is not large, but there is enough, fish, beef and chicken are always served, baked vegetables, you will definitely not stay hungry! It was a pity there were no fermented milk products.I didn't like the beach, it's small, not much to swim.A very interesting excursion from the hotel is crab fishing, the child was delighted.In general, I liked everything, I have a desire to return to this cozy place))))))

A wonderful stay at this hotel! Wonderful staff, wonderful cuisine, gorgeous territory! A road is being made outside the territory in October 2024, an embankment was built nearby but has not yet been commissioned, the shopping center is being completed. A gorgeous wild beach 20 minutes from the hotel! Just an awesome sea and sand!!! Gorgeous photos turned out! In the hotel, people relax at breakfast, breakfast and dinner, and everything is included. If at breakfast, you can buy for 35 dirhams to eat for two. We had enough . You can fish from the pier . He spends a lot of time with children and the elderly. We liked it!

A small three-star hotel, the territory is well maintained, something is resorted to every day, cozy. There is a small private beach with sun beds and umbrellas, many small gazebos under umbrellas, and a swimming pool. The pool is open until late in the evening. There is a small marina from which it is convenient to fish. The hotel has two excursions for its guests to crab and to the island with flamingos, although they can only be viewed occasionally. The food is just wonderful, thanks to the chefs, the dishes were not repeated. We lived in a new building, overlooking the beach from the balcony, the room was large and cozy, there was a refrigerator, safe, electric kettle, TV. I liked everything very much. A small minus is that the hotel is located on the very outskirts of the emirate, there is a road laying around, the port, it is really not heard, and the territory that will be reconstructed over time.

If anyone is interested in a beach holiday, this hotel is for you. It is small with a green, well-groomed, clean territory. Everything is nearby! And the rooms, and the restaurant, and the beach, and the bar, and the pool. I'll tell you in order)
We arrived early in the morning, were immediately invited to breakfast, and then settled in. I was lucky, I didn't have to wait 12-13 hours. We lived in an old building, room 228. If you do not find fault with the cleaning, the fact that there are no towels, sometimes they forget to leave water, paper, then a great room) Dial the reception number and all questions are solved! Do you need an iron? They'll bring it. An adapter? You are welcome. There is even a fumigator. Keep in mind, in the evening, mosquitoes are just a fire on the balcony! If you do not open the windows at night, but use the air conditioner, then silence in the room is ensured. I can't hear any crows, cats, birds, or companies.
The food was at first surprised by the minimal menu selection. But everything is very tasty. Always meat, fish, chicken.Seafood.Delicious mashed soups. Super mushroom, seafood, tomato, creamy broccoli, and even orange! There was always rice, there were pasta, vegetables, even mashed potatoes. Salads are interesting, but delicious. Shrimp with cabbage is very spicy. Watermelon, melon, grapes,apples, kiwi.Pickled peaches, pineapple. Jelly and puddings made of sweets. Super croissants for breakfast. That's the problem with porridge, like water. Once it turned out to be normal semolina) Water, tea, coffee packaged always and for free. Juices too.
Many thanks to the cook, the kitchen staff and the girls who set and cleaned the dishes. Very attentive and unobtrusive service.
But the most important thing is the sea! Sand!
Fish, herons, Persian cormorant. Awesome Free towels, sun beds, awnings, shower on the beach, toilet with showers.
The bar is for those who have everything included. But you can buy it. A can of Coke is 0.33 - $4, for example. Canned beer, wine, vodka, rum, whiskey..
Tourists are mostly Russian, from different cities. All
We are open for communication, we got to know each other. There were Indians, Arabs, and Chinese.
Wonderful excursions are included from the hotel - crab hunting and a boat trip to see flamingos, turtles. It's fun and interesting! After the hunt, crab was served for dinner. From other hotels, these excursions come for a fee.
There are a lot of fishermen, they catch both day and night. Fishing is allowed in this place.
I am writing a review right in hot pursuit, we flew home today) 05/03/2024 We are absolutely delighted, we liked everything.It was the second time in the Emirates that we went for a vacation on the beach. This is when I went out and was already at sea. I went to lunch and again to the beach, to the beautiful sea. In the evening, after dinner, you sit and breathe in the sea air.
I would like to warn you, excursions have become more expensive. Abu Dhabi 110$, Dubai 85$..Flower Park $80,Safari,Indian Ocean...But it's worth it!
In general, I will definitely recommend the Flamingo for a vacation on the Persian Gulf.

A nice quiet hotel with good cuisine and helpful staff. A sandy beach with a smooth approach, what you need for a holiday with children. Naturally, there are no disadvantages, far from the airport, there is nowhere to go outside the hotel. Tired rooms, the hotel is budget and not young, you should not expect anything supernatural. If you want to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city and just soak up the sun, this hotel is for you.

The rest is amazing!
The hotel has strong three stars! To begin with, the staff is very, very friendly! They are always ready to help, they have a good attitude towards children, they always smile, they never refused to take food with them, a very important moment for us, since we were with a child.
The rooms are spacious and good, cleaned well, changed bed linen and towels every day, washed the floors well, gave all the toiletries, we were always happy with the cleaning!
According to the food, the food is delicious, thank you very much to the chef, everything was very tasty, we were with a small child who was very interested in food, ate almost everything, because it was delicious) The only thing was there was no baking, it was so lacking)
The territory is small, but clean, neat, clean sea, tides in the morning, tides in the evening, the sea goes far away 😁
According to reviews, we read that there is a wild beach, it really is, you will not find the way yourself 😁 they told us, a very cool beach, I advise everyone, the beach is gorgeous, there were a lot of emotions after.
There is also a park (10-15 minutes walk to it), beautiful, large, the most suitable for children.
It's a long way to Dubai, by taxi there and back for Russian money 10t.r, they don't bargain, it's worth a trip once.
I recommend this hotel for those with children or for adults who want to cleanly lie on the beach for a swim, if you want to take a walk, then the hotel should be taken in Sharjah or Dubai)

Drive from the airport to the hotel at 01:40. The hotel itself is beautiful, green territory, it is a protected area, the food is delicious, although not very diverse, there were almost no sweets. 90% of vacationers are Russian-speaking, many tourists come on weekends, celebrate all kinds of holidays. My husband and I got into Ramadan, alcohol is tight there and there is no holiday, but on a holiday it is absolutely a disaster. Those with everything included were given beer, rum, wine, and soda in bags. There are 2 large malls in this city, this network is called Lulu. We drove to the nearest small one (about 10 minutes) (it has 2 floors, one with groceries, the second with clothes and household goods) in 5 dirhams (if you catch yourself on the road, it's more expensive through the hotel), it takes longer to go to the big one (about 20 minutes), but it has fast food and shops He's more interesting. Alcohol is sold in a liquor store, according to a passport. It takes about 15 minutes to get to it from the hotel. There is NO Russian-speaking staff at the hotel. Translation via phone from Russian to English. Tour operator Biblio Globus, where it is called Voyage Tours. At the airport, we were met upon arrival, distributed by minibuses, taken to the hotel, the next day there was a meeting with the guide, they wrote to whatsapp themselves and told us what time the meeting was, when we left tranfer was delayed for 45 minutes, because of this we had time at the airport to get stuck. We arrived at the hotel for a rest at 9:20 in the morning, we were registered, offered to go for breakfast, at that time a room was prepared for us. We were pleasantly surprised, because in theory we were supposed to be settled at 12 o'clock, not earlier. The staff has 5 stars for their responsiveness. We were offered 2 excursions from the hotel for free: To see flamingos on a boat and to hunt crabs (but not in March, they have a breeding season). They catch fish on pantone and it's not bad enough, the guys caught something like catfish with us, 1.5-2 kilograms each fish. In general, there is a paradise on the territory of the hotel. I didn't like the area in which he was located. And the tour operator has expensive excursions. For a sightseeing tour to Dubai, we paid $ 70 per person, taking into account the fact that there will be at least 5 people from the hotel, as well as $ 85. We ran everywhere, took pictures and got on the bus, we were not fed anywhere, although the tour was from 13h departure from the hotel, and returned at 21:30. I expected more, I was just upset. Because of this, I'm removing the star from the entire comment.

The hotel is amazing, there are not many people, the food is delicious, the staff is friendly, who dreams of a quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet holiday-then you are here, the territory is small, there is no animation, there is a swimming pool, no children, no music on the territory, but we got into their Ramadan fast, March 20-March 27That's why there were no guests yet, there were no corporate parties, but most importantly, who goes only to the sea,,,,, from the building to go to the beach for 30 seconds, I clocked😁. While there is not much territory around the Hotel, but the construction has turned global, there will soon be a fairy tale at the entrance to the hotel.But those who are aiming for excursions, this Emirate will not work, you will have to go for a long time on all excursions. Thanks

The food is good. Respect to the cook. The meat was always soft and delicious. It's been two weeks. I really liked the crab soup.We took everything included . Beer, wine, cocktails and spirits are always available at the bar. What I didn't like: there were not enough sunbeds on the beach. On Saturday, when the locals arrived, they fenced off the territory for them and asked us to move over. It's just not very comfortable. Room 207 there is a water pump nearby, it is noisy from switching on.

It's very decent for three stars. Three fairly varied meals a day, clean room, attentive staff. Great beach. There is not much entertainment, for those who want a simple seal vacation. At the all-inclusive there is alcohol from 12 to 23 o'clock there is a bar on the beach. The hotel grounds are clean and well maintained.

The hotel is a class for retirement holidays. Calm atmosphere, friendly, unobtrusive staff. The territory is small, there is not much place to walk. The beach has its own, but it is also small, like the hotel itself. But everything is very cozy, homely. After a couple of days, it was like we were all in the same garden plot, frying shrimp on coals, and the like.
In the neighborhood, outside the hotel, there is already complete authenticity, with all its nuances. You can't go out on the boardwalk. The only thing that saved me from panicking when walking to the hotel from the store was the music of the band naphtha in headphones, which transported me to my personal safe world.
To the nearest supermarket by taxi or a very long walk. To lie down with a starfish - this hotel is perfect. Minus a star for the meager menu in the restaurant. Sooooo outright three-stardom. It's been more diverse.
For coffee lovers, excuse me, coffee in bags.

Nice hotel. The price and quality are consistent. Excellent chefs and restaurant staff. The territory of the hotel is well maintained. Unfortunately, the sea is not always clean. There is a port nearby and apparently garbage is being dumped.
The hotel staff is polite.
Wishes: the water in the shower is quite cool, you need to heat the water. Towels and bed linen still need to be changed sometimes (they were wiped off with one towel all week, which has nowhere to dry).
In general, we are satisfied with the rest.
I recommend.

The hotel already has 3 stars
I liked the rest on the whole. Good night, delicious, pleasant
The food is very tasty. We took it without lunch, but you can take it on the spot for 66 dirhams (1250 rubles) for lunch per adult, lunch is free for a child.
There are always places in the restaurant.
Small croissants are made from baking in the morning.
Of sweet jelly and biscuits, and of course fruits.
The room is old enough, but if the room is the main thing on vacation, then it will not suit you. Don't forget that there are other outlets here, but you can buy an adapter at the on-site store.
Cleaning every day. There is a kettle, hairdryer, TV, air conditioning.
The territory is very neat and beautiful. There is a children's pool and an adult. There are quite a lot of sun beds.
There is a grill area - you can cook on your own, coal and firewood are also available in the shop.
There are souvenirs in the shop - not much, and mostly the most necessary things can be bought.
The staff is friendly, they speak English, a little Russian. Money can be exchanged at the reception.
There are no animators and children's entertainment separately, but once there was a foam party in the pool.
The beach is not big, but it is closed. The tide is often high and low. There are a lot of fish, fishermen catch right on the pier. Birds dive to catch fish. There is a port nearby, separated by a fence. And it's not visible.
Guided Tours - There are 2 free guided tours at the hotel. You can go by boat for 1 hour to see flamingos and many other animals. And crab fishing, but it's not available in March.
Excursions to the UAE are diverse, but my child and I visited only the sightseeing Dubai, it was worth it, but the road to the Emirate of Dubai will take about 2 hours, taking into account the gathering of other vacationers.
The road - it takes about 1.5 hours to get from Dubai airport, but in a comfortable minivan.
There is nowhere to walk around the hotel, and there is nothing to see. But it takes 10-15 minutes by taxi to the nearest shopping center, where you can buy almost everything. The cost of a taxi in one direction starts from 15-20 dirhams, and the taxi driver will return for you.
Upon departure, there is a very small duty free at the airport, so it is better to buy souvenirs on excursions or in the city.
The reviews wrote about other noisy guests on weekends - we did not find them, perhaps it depends on the vacationers and their upbringing.
But there are cats and crows on the territory, so they scream a little loudly in the morning)

It's great for 3 stars. Delicious varied food. Room cleaning is daily, free water and towels are brought every day, there are always pleasant local products for washing the body and head, not one-size-fits-all, a pair of toothbrushes were given upon arrival.
We rented a car, it helped a lot, you can't hit a taxi. If you are interested in a relaxing beach holiday, I recommend it. In other cases, you should think about rental transport or choose a place closer to your vacation goals!
We rested on the beach in the morning, and drove around the cities in the afternoon. We went to Dubai a couple of times, once to Sharjah, and went daily to the center of the emirate of Um Al Qawain.
Within walking distance is a gorgeous free public beach with steam beds, umbrellas, fine sand, clean water, toilets, lifeguards, etc. with a minimum of people.
There is a cargo port outside the hotel, it did not interfere much, but on certain days when there was loading, the sounds of crane servos were heard, including at night.
Also, a new road is being built along the hotel, there are sounds of construction equipment, in our opinion it is not critical, local birds are screaming louder)

The hotel is not luxury . But there are advantages, a quiet hotel, eco-friendly , there is an excellent grill area , there is a market not far away where you can buy a lot of products and grill them . There is a possibility of crab fishing at the hotel. Visit flamingos by boat. At night, the beach is open, you can arrange night bathing. There are no Russians , the hotel is more for locals and foreigners.

Two opinions and impressions about the hotel.The territory is nice and green, the beach is small when the tide is out there is nowhere to swim.If you like fishing, then here, there are a lot of different fish, you will not stay without a catch.The staff is polite and nice.The rooms are large, there is a kettle, coffee, tea, water was replenished every day.We arrived at the hotel when the Ramadan fast was, there were few people, But by the end of the fast, local Hindus, Kti people arrived and the horror began, it was not possible to sleep, there was noise, children ran around the building, men smoked right outside the rooms, the window could not be opened.We went swimming on a great beach, a beautiful clear sea, there are no people, beauty!!!!go min25.There is a ruined village around the hotel, there is nowhere to go out in the evening, if you only buy breakfast on tour, then there is nowhere to go out for dinner in the evening, and it is not very profitable to buy dinner at the hotel, 66 dirhams, our money turns out to be almost two thousand per person.By taxi for 10-5 dirhams you can get to the nearest li-lu store, but the prices can not say that it is cheap to buy groceries.I understand that in a couple of years this Emirate will be reconstructed and it will be beautiful there, but now there is devastation.They make a beautiful embankment, we walked there, but it is still closed.Result:food-5,reception staff,restaurant-5,beach-4 (like our Gulf of Finland, it's better to go to a wild beach)If the locals did not come at the exit or behaved quietly in the evening, then it would be possible to come to the Flamingo Hotel for a vacation.Territory-5

The service at the Flamingo Beach Hotel is good. The food is quite tasty and varied. We took breakfasts and dinners. The staff is not annoying, friendly, helpful. The beach could be cleaned at least sometimes and shells and pebbles could be removed with a rake. There is no wave as such, an eternal breeze. There are a lot of sun beds, there are enough for everyone, there are canopies, tables and chairs. The territory is not very large, but well maintained. The hedge is trimmed, the flowers are watered, the grass is mowed. The beds are comfortable, clean, the rooms are a little tired, the renovation was a long time ago.

The polite staff consists mainly of Hindus, Pakistanis and Africans; breakfast / lunch / dinner is buffet style, there is a lot of food, but it is hardly tasty to call it much. There are fruits, watermelons, mangoes and papayas, but there are no apples, bananas, or melons. Unfortunately, these very watermelons and the rest that are tasteless. The hotel itself is quite worn out, but it is carefully kept clean.
The disadvantages include a worn-out fund and the admission of locals to rest at the hotel, on weekends the pool seats are occupied by locals. But the main disadvantage is the location of the hotel - the emirate of Um Al Quwain is far from Dubai and Abu Dhabi, so on the tour you will only drive 3-4 hours in one direction. And the hotel itself is located in a natural backwater, at the exit from the town, which is full of empty and abandoned houses, collapsed storefronts and broken facades.
The hotel is only good for a "seal" holiday.

Guys, this is a three-piece in the Emirates. Don't expect miracles and variety. Breakfasts and dinners consist of the same set of dishes, there is no coffee beans, juice bags are the cheapest. The private beach is very small and it was occupied by cats, for whom it is a huge tray. It's easy to get your foot in a cat mine. For some reason, no one writes that it is almost impossible to swim on this beach: despite the shallow depth, a strong current constantly blows away. And where there is shallow water, there is a strip of slimy algae, so it is not suitable for children. The room stock is old and tired. The cleaning is mediocre. As for the area, look at the map before you go. The location does not imply that you will take walks from the hotel on your own. Just a taxi.

We just got back, we really liked everything :) the room is spacious and clean, water and towels were provided daily, cleaning was carried out, but it's a little cold in the room, it's better to take something out of clothes for the night. The restaurant has delicious buffet food, not crowded. If you are traveling with breakfast, then dinner for 1 person costs 66 dirhams. Of the free excursions, we went crab hunting, we didn't find them, but we had fun, and in the evening at dinner the staff presented a plate of amazing grilled crabs. I would like to mention all the staff separately, they are cute, smiling and responsive, it was very nice to spend a vacation with you:)
A 15-minute walk from the wild beach hotel, there no one, but you have to go through the fence.. :)

A lovely loyal 3-star mid-class hotel. Very kind and helpful staff, and most importantly unobtrusive and not forbidding anything (within reason). If you want to rest, if you want to dance, if you want to take dinner to the room on a plate. Cleaned at the request. Always clean. But the rooms are better and with panoramic views in a four-storey building. Take a Raptor with you. Very well-groomed territory, gorgeous palm trees and flowers.

Our vacation at this hotel is over and thank God))
We had a vacation with my husband in flamingo from 3.05 to 10.05. The hotel is located very far away. There is nothing but ruins around the hotel. There's nowhere to go.
We arrived at the hotel at about 16 o'clock, we didn't have time for lunch. Let's go to the room. they noted that the territory is pretty for a small hotel.
The room is far from wow, everything is terribly old... The shower room is generally a PPC... We didn't swim without slippers, it was disgusting to step on. The old grout is falling off, the door is all shabby. The hood is working, which does not help much, but it makes noise like a turbine from an airplane.
The air conditioning in the room worked as he wanted. It was very cold, then there was no way to turn on the cool air as you do not adjust the temperature.
We decided not to lose heart right away and go to the beach. And then a second surprise awaited us- a terrible low tide. The beach is very narrow, the water has gone very far. The beach is full of pebbles and shells. It can be seen and never cleaned. We tried to go into the water, there are nasty algae. So we rinsed off and went to the pool.
Also, on the beach and pool it was noted that most of the sunbeds are in bird poop, since there are a lot of crows and some other local birds.
On other days, it was noticed that the tide starts at about 13-14 o'clock. So we swam until that time. The water was clean, clear, but cool. It's good that we took aquashouses with us.
Small fish swim in the water.
Swimming pool.
It's a little dirty. We noticed that it was closed for the night a couple of times during our vacation. It doesn't smell like bleach.
In principle, the pool is normal, deep.
Meal.
Breakfast: croissants, butter, jam, honey, porridge (different every day), sausages (not tasty), tasteless cereals, pancakes, there were pancakes once, boiled and fried egg.
Lunch and dinner + are the same : chicken, beef, fish, potatoes or pasta. The beef has always been excellent. The chicken is burnt a couple of times. The fish is normal.
A couple, three salads heavily seasoned with lemon. Cucumbers and tomatoes are also separate.
Sweets are a sore subject... They give 2 puddings that look disgusting, they haven't even tried it. Jelly , 2-3 times noticed pineapple pie as a charlotte.
However, there was a fruit salad for all meals, and it helped out) Watermelon, melon, kiwi, apples and grapes are in the salad.
Tea and coffee bags. There is no choice. One type of coffee (nescafe), one tea bag. If you want coffee from the coffee machine, please pay.
There was juice for every meal.
Bar.
The bar is normal, but like everywhere else it is expensive. For 2 bottles and a hookah 100 dirhams.
Fans are working on the bar, saving at least a little from mosquitoes, which are swarming here in the evening.
The legs were bitten into the meat((
There is no entertainment at the hotel. In addition to free excursions to flamingo Island and crab fishing. We went to the flamingos. The tour takes an hour. They take you to the island very far away. Of all the flamingos, I saw only white dots, but they rolled. We didn't go for crabs.
There is a barbecue on site. You can buy coal and fry something. It is far and expensive to go to the store.
From Thursday to Sunday night, local Arabs and Hindus gather for the weekend. And then the fun begins...They scream all day long! They don't know how to behave or talk normally. Children yell, women yell at children, then at each other, men yell at women and among themselves... both day and night...Their or is diluted by the or of crows, birds and cats... We slept in earplugs... and it didn't save much... It's just awful....Thank God there was silence on Monday...
this is probably the most terrible thing from the whole vacation....
It is far and expensive to get to the sights. Excursions are all +50% approximately to the cost.
The guide from Biblio Globus did not come to us at all. Like if we don't buy excursions from her at exorbitant prices, then it makes no sense for her to go.
The excursions were taken in a company that was recommended to us by a travel agent. And it's good that we had this information.
We went to Dubai for $ 75 from the company, instead of the $ 130 offered by biblio globus.
In general, this was our first vacation in the UAE and the hotel made us very sad.
If we hadn't referred to the reviews on the site, then in no case would we have gone to this hotel, but chose something a little more expensive, even if only for breakfast and dinner, but in another emirate.

The food is normal , the beach is normal , we moved from room to room three times
When booking, it is better to choose a hotel
Well, the minus is that there are no available shops in the vicinity yet
It's better to take it. Full board!

The hotel is small, well maintained, lots of greenery. The food is good. The rooms are old but clean, there is a kettle, mugs, coffee tea, sugar. The sea is a lagoon, the tides bring mud and debris, so it is not comfortable to swim. I went outside the hotel to the wild beach, it's magical there. There is no animation, it is boring in the evening, there is nowhere to walk. There is also nowhere to walk outside the hotel. Take an adapter for sockets with you. I will not go to this hotel anymore. There are many disadvantages.Flamingo Hotel 3* beach resort.

This place has ruined my idea of a vacation in the Emirates!A very unusual, beautiful place where schools of fish, flamingos, huge turtles ... The hotel provided two free excursions, one of which is an exciting night crab hunt, the second is a morning boat trip to the mangrove islands where flamingos live.Very tasty food, usually the Emirates is not very good with it.But it was very tasty here.We took half board.The hotel is two-storied, which was also cool, no high-rises, in general a village!Clean, without pathos, pleasant staff.It will appeal to those who do not need gloss and pathos.I recommend it from the bottom of my heart!

Good location, the beach overlooks the bay, where it is always calm and you can swim. The rooms are clean, comfortable, without complaints at all. The food is normal, but modest. These are the pros. There are a lot of cats and crows on the territory and they are all constantly screaming - very noisy. Cats are shitting on the beach. If someone doesn't like cats, then this hotel is definitely not an option. It is far from civilization, there is almost nothing within walking distance, there is ruin, abandonment and poverty around. Local families with children come for 2-3 days and make a lot of noise late. It's impossible to get enough sleep, the territory is small, everything is audible, music and drunken songs until one o'clock in the morning, and already at 7 in the morning loud conversations and screams of children.
If someone loves cats and birds, does not like to go to bed early, who needs 5-6 hours of silence a day to sleep, who is willing to spend money on taxis and excursions, to see something else besides the hotel, then you can go here.

A great hotel for a relaxing holiday.Very good cook, friendly staff.Two free guided tours are such a wonderful bonus! 20 minutes to the wild beach-an open space, insanely beautiful! 15 minutes to the Old Fort.By taxi 10 to the Mall.I recommend it to those who do not need the infrastructure right behind the hotel.But it is important to wake up and see the dawn at sea)

A great place to relax away from the hustle and bustle of the city, closer to the pristine nature of flora and fauna: storks, graceful flamingos, diving cormorants can be observed early in the morning and on evening boat trips provided by the hotel.

Expectations were worse than reality) because the tour was bought for pennies at current prices. I am here now alone with 2 children of 1.5 and 4 years old. The territory is beautiful and well maintained. The staff is beyond praise. The beach is not a white sand, there is such a puddle) on one side of the boat station (Pier) is fenced, the territory for swimming is very small. On the other hand, there is sand, fewer rocks, but no canopies. But I don't need more with the kids. I would like to see free sun beds, but this is a rarity. The food is spicy, it's hard for children to find something to eat, they had to carry toast and eggs from breakfast. All inclusive includes non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages. We were in Ramadan, the bar was not working, but there was an option to order alcohol in our room. I ordered a glass of wine, but they don't pour glasses in Ramadan, so they brought a 5-liter box). We went on an excursion to see flamingos, it is included in the price. I liked it. If you go as a couple, it will definitely be boring. In general, if you need to take small children to the sea, this is an ideal option. Teenagers will be bored

A cozy hotel for a family holiday. If you want silence, clean sea, cozy atmosphere, then you should definitely come here. Good food, well-groomed territory, friendly staff. Something is missing (a little foam drink), a taxi drives for a reasonable price to the city, to the liquor store. 100% rest.

How nice it was there! And 3 years ago, the owner changed, the staff completely changed.... The only thing that attracts is crab hunting and islands with flamingos. Turtles and fish near the shore. That's it!

A lot has been written about the fact that the hotel is on the outskirts. There is no Russian-speaking staff. All communication is via Google Translator. Wi-Fi is free. The beach to the right of the pier is small, but access to the sea is more convenient, on the left it is better in corals. I have "all inclusive" but the bar does not work during Ramadan. No one says that you can order alcohol in the room to choose from: beer 6 cans once a day, whiskey, 1 liter vodka for 2 days, wine package for 3 days. Cola, Fanta, sprite in cans on demand without limitation. All this is based on 1 person. You need to demand it in a restaurant. I learned about this from my compatriots on the beach. The food is simple, but edible. Beef, chicken, and fish are always available for lunch and dinner. Rice, pasta and potatoes in different versions, either pure, or with sauces or spices. There are steamed vegetables (zucchini, cauliflower, carrots). Tomatoes and cucumbers are made from fresh vegetables. Fruits for lunch and dinner in the form of a "vinaigrette". Breakfast: cereals, porridge, eggs, chicken sausages, fried bacon, vegetables, cheese, cheese, watermelon, melon slices. Lemon is added to many dishes. All salads with lemon, it is important to know for allergy sufferers. In the room: soap and soap dispensers. All the textiles are good, the bed is comfortable. Hot water, not hot at all. Or rather, cold. Beach towels are provided by the pool. No deposit is taken upon check-in.

There are no questions about the hotel itself - normal repairs, a swimming pool. There are no problems with the service - the staff is responsive. The buffet is good. I haven't had enough in a week. Not sharp. Cons: the location is the very edge- the dead end of the road. Nearby are the ruins and the industrial zone of the port. There's nowhere to go in the evening. The Wi-Fi in the room was almost not working. In general: for highly passive recreation.

Nice cozy hotel. The rooms, of course, are shabby (But there are also after repairs, if anyone is lucky). The food is good, there is no abundance. Alcohol is good (in Ramadan they give it to the room, since the bar is closed, you need to order alcohol in the restaurant every day). The beach is great, you can fish. We took a tour through Space Travel. An excursion to Dubai is $ 80 per person.

A very cozy, 2-storey family hotel on the shore of the Gulf of the Persian Gulf (to the bay with wide sandy beaches, you need to take a taxi 7 km.). The territory is green, there are many cats living on it, the food is good, although a little monotonous, in the evenings you can fish. A nice girl Sofia from Tajikistan, who knows Russian well, works in a hotel restaurant. By the way, there are quite a few Russians resting here. If someone wants peace and quiet, away from the skyscrapers of Dubai and Abu Dhabi, then this is a vacation for them. You won't regret it! Ekaterina.

I rested for a week from February 27, 2024. I read the reviews and was very doubtful whether it was worth going there. I've never regretted it. A quiet, cozy place. The state of relaxation came from the first day. The food is cooked deliciously and with love. Everything is clean. The staff is friendly. A huge minus is a lot of cats and apparently there will be even more. They breed and multiply there. The smell of cat urine is very noticeable. And it would be possible to pay more attention to the care of the beach. Yes, there is no infrastructure around, but we once took a taxi to Big LuLu and bought dates there. And milking fishermen is a paradise there. There are a lot of fish. The rooms are nice, the beds are comfortable. The towels were changed once, but the bed linen was not changed, but I did not expect more - it's 3 *. But the steppe fox Fenech came to us every evening, cuttlefish sailed, white and black storks flew in. I want to go back there.

A great hotel for a family relaxing holiday. There are lawns that are great to run on in the evening. Good service. The whole area is visible - the child will not be lost.
The food is good. The alcohol in the bar is of high quality. The sea is hyper calm, you can lie on the couch. There is fishing from the pier.
