The hotel is good, the food is high-quality and delicious... there is something to choose from with different preferences for vegans too.
The pool is beautiful, but sometimes there are not enough sun beds, thanks to compatriots who reserve a place with a towel for the whole day. Alcohol by the pool or if everything is included or for a fee, you can not have your own, which is very good, there are no rowdy compatriots.
The prices for trips at the hotel itself are acceptable.
Buses take you to the beach, and the last one picks you up at 13. If you want to spend more time on the bay, you can take a taxi, it's state-owned, 15 dirhams goes to the hotel, or walk 1 hour passing the local colorful fish market, where you can cook fresh shrimp.
There are many supermarkets in the vicinity of the hotel.
I would like to update the sofas near the reception and have tea and coffee for dinner if you take HB meals. It's strange to have dessert with water, but they're delicious by the way.
The New Year's Gala dinner was with seafood and alcohol. From the program magician and belly dance.
The start was at 20:00, but there was a strange queue at the entrance for 40 minutes and in other hotels as well.
For the first time in the hotel, I met with the fact that they give me a bag with a towel, bedding and water for the beach-this is a very big plus.
In general, I recommend the hotel, you can have a great rest.
A very nice city hotel. Who chooses a place not for a beach holiday, but for a headquarters with other purposes (relaxation, shopping, traveling to the Emirates, etc.) is generally an ideal option. The rooms are good, moderately spacious, the beds are comfortable, the linen is not washed, the sound insulation is on the level. Who felt the musty smell where - I don't understand at all. We turned the air conditioner on and off as it froze, slept all night with it turned off - until morning there was enough freshness, pumped up by the conditioner in the evening. The windows do not open, but this is the case in all high-rise hotels in the Emirates, because dust storms are frequent, and if one of the guests forgets to close the window at such a moment, the entire room is thrown out. The pool is good, moderately spacious, but at lunch there are often not enough sun beds - you have to relax on upholstered chairs with pillows near the bar, which is also a good option. In the pool bar, the prices for alcohol are lower than in the hotel bar on floor M, the best offer is 5 half-liter cans of Beck's beer in an ice bucket for 79 dirhams, it turns out 16 dirhams per jar - in the hotels I visited earlier in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, there were at least 25. The shuttle to the beach, indeed, runs only until 13:00 and is constantly full, but, again, this is not a beach hotel: either put up with the inconvenience, or use a taxi - it is inexpensive there. Umbrella beach, to which guests are brought, is indeed difficult to call a beach - no sun beds, no shade canopies, even to the toilet-locker room-shower, you need to go up to the embankment and walk fifty meters. But what a cool colony of water turtles there is on the right behind the cape! I took snorkeling gear for them and was not disappointed for a second. There are many places for shopping around the hotel - LuLu Mall, Fujeirah Mall, City Center and many discount stores with everything on the big street behind the mosque. The only thing you can find fault with at the hotel is the complete absence of beef and lamb at lunches and dinners, only chicken and fish are served, but they are so well cooked that I won't even take off a star for it.
