Great hotel! Very tasty and hearty breakfasts, courteous staff, cleanliness and comfort! On the 1st floor there is a private pool with clean water, as a bonus if you do not want to go to the sea or returned from lunch from the sea. They also give out clean towels with water every day, which was very gratifying. The Lu Lu shopping center is located next to the hotel, where there is a wide variety of food and local delicacies at affordable prices. Be sure to take an excursion to Dubai from a hotel guide, much cheaper than from a tour operator, the only thing is they don't give much time for the museum of the future, but the whole day will be filled with new locations and impressions. I advise you to definitely visit this country, the Emirate of Fujairah and of course, this good-natured hotel!
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.
An excellent hotel, located in the center of Fujairah, in fact, the building combines the novotel and ibis apartments, the ibis is located up to the 15th floor from the 15th to the 25th floor of the novotel, fairly good rooms , daily cleaning , water in the room is always present, it is a large glass bottle with a branded label, as well as tea or coffee, if anything they will bring enough from the reception without any problems, there is a restaurant downstairs, but it is not very big and therefore there is a queue at the entrance for breakfast, but it resolves very quickly, the food is quite tasty, all dishes are presented, there are also
soups and porridges, lunches and dinners are plentiful, you will not go hungry, there is a bar and a disco on the second floor, there is a swimming pool with a bar, but prices bite , beer from 40-50 dirhams per glass, there is a daily bus from the hotel to the beach, in the morning from 8.30 to 10 and at lunch from 12 to 13 back, the bus is large, it takes 10 minutes to go to the beach, the beach is public, the hotel provides a bag with beach towels, a sunbed and a bottle of water for everyone
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.
The hotel is located in the city center, close to shops, cafes, restaurants, clubs - everything is there!
The rooms are spacious, they were cleaned every day,there is a nice and respectful Russian-speaking Aida at the reception, special thanks to her for solving certain nuances, she is well done. The breakfast buffet, you will not stay hungry.
The transfer to the beach did not let us down all the days of our vacation, I drove by the hour.
Overall, a good international hotel, price-quality.
Extended holidays , flew to Dubai ⛱️(09.01.25-16.01.25)
Good afternoon, everyone, so we visited the country of beauty, or rather the Emirate of Fujairah, a hotel in the city of Novotel.
The hotel is located in the city, within walking distance from the shopping center , cafes and attractions.
The trip cost us three (2 adults and a child of 5 years), 146 tons, full board, an Aeroflot flight with meals.
Everything was fine with us, we liked it, and we were happy with our vacation.
The room is on the 16th floor (1601 window was opened), and we asked for a smoking room.Everything was dry and ventilated .
There was a double bed with a gorgeous mattress and snow -white linens , plus there was a separate sofa .
There was a shower, a cubicle and a separate unit with a bathtub, too, and a toilet with a separate cubicle.
Upon arrival, there was a liter of water in the glass, tea, coffee, sugar, a kettle in the room, three-wire sockets, but they also worked using the usual method.
The food is good, everything is fresh, delicious, without frills and variety, but if you alternate, a completely rational menu, we knew about it, so it was not news to us.
We were online in the Telegram group about the hotel and were informed of everything, which I wish you, who is going to subscribe.
In general, there is Internet everywhere.
A shuttle bus takes you to the beach, according to the schedule, and picks you up on the last flight at 1 p.m.
Sometimes we didn't go to lunch, stayed on the beach and left when it was convenient by taxi to Rotana, for 10-11 dirhams (crossing the road), as advised, to slightly reduce the prices for the trip.
The stores have everything like ours, like Auchan or Lenta, the prices are higher, well, if you buy fruits , drinks , sodas, chocolates, candies, we somehow didn't notice any special expenses, I think it was even budget-friendly with a child.
We traveled to Dubai on an individual transfer , found it through TG , also on the advice of , cooperated with people, divided the price equally , did not regret a bit , looked at everything we wanted and agreed .
In general, everything was very cool and it turned out great, we are happy with the trip, which can be called spontaneous , not counting on the bathing weather, especially since we swam daily, the pool is cool, but I swam .
We visited Dubai for the first time, although we are experienced tourists .
We are very impressed with the country, Fujairah, the beach, the sea (ocean, bay, whatever is convenient), the people around there, the general service at the hotel, the staff. We didn't visit much, but we looked at the trendy locations.
There's a reason to come back😁
Thank you for taking the time to read to the end.
Ask questions, ask, I will answer
A good city hotel, friendly staff, during my stay there was no Russian-speaking staff at the reception, there is a shuttle service to the beach, almost 5 km to the beach, the hotel has a swimming pool, towels are provided for using the pool and the beach, there are no rods on the beach. Everything was fine with nutrition, the choice is small, but delicious, wonderful desserts. The room and the hotel grounds are clean, the room was cleaned every day. I would not recommend it for holidays with children, the hotel does not have its own territory, there are supermarkets and shopping centers within walking distance from the hotel
An excellent hotel, they take several flights to the beach from 8 and back from 12 to 13. You can also take a taxi back for 20 dirhams. They give you bedding and a towel on the beach.
The location is very convenient - there are restaurants, bars, a large shopping center with a lulu hypermarket and a large selection of exotic fruits.
The rooms are very clean, the beds are very comfortable.
The shower was leaking a little from below, but they came quickly and fixed it when they said so.
There is a great pool, I didn't like it there, the guard says that if you don't swim, then I won't give you a towel.
The breakfasts are good, there are plenty to choose from, you won't stay hungry)
A decent city business hotel, the staff tries hard, decent breakfast, delicious desserts for lunch and dinner. Transfer to the beach by Shuttle Bus, if there are not enough seats, call a taxi immediately at your own expense. Take a beach bag with a towel, a mat and a bottle of water to the beach. Water in the room on request, if a liter is not enough. The girls' bar has a party 2 times a week and 3 free drinks. The hotel has a tour desk (not bad according to reviews), a gym and an outdoor pool with comfortable sun loungers and free towels. Nearby is a large supermarket Lu Lu with an exchange
A city hotel of a well-known chain, various breakfasts, dinners can be taken on site for 60 dirhams, Umbrella public beach is transported according to schedule, there is a gym, heated pool, hammam and sauna, but there are always not enough sun beds by the pool, it is located on the 3rd floor of the hotel. Nearby there is a supermarket Lu Lu, near McDonalds, and many food outlets
It's not a bad hotel. Clean, well maintained. Everything is working. Breakfasts and dinners are basically normal. everything is there and delicious. It happens, of course, that there is not enough, but while the salad is being eaten, the basins are replenished. The pool is warm and empty. There are Russian employees at the reception. They always help, both with cleaning and with taxis. The location is not clear whether it is convenient or not, there is a transfer to the sea 3 times, the shopping center is large nearby across the street. Alcohol shops can still be reached by taxi.
Upon arrival, a free upgrade was made to the apartments located in the same building. The apartments are nice and spacious. The cleaning is of high quality. The only thing I had to ask for a lot in addition was a second bathrobe and water. The TV was not working, but the issue was quickly resolved. The disadvantages were that one fine night, around 01:00, we were very persistently knocked on, and as a result, the reception staff turned out to be outside the door, who informed us that we needed to change rooms (to another in the same apartment) Now. After giving 10 minutes to pack. The reason was never explained, and no apologies were brought. The sediment remained) We only had breakfast, we were quite satisfied. There is a time transfer to the beach (the last one leaves the beach at 13:00). You can take a taxi yourself for 20 dirhams.
A wonderful hotel, clean, comfortable rooms, cleaning every day, a 25-meter swimming pool, a gym, a free transfer to the city beach with a free toilet and shower with hot water, and every day before going to the sea, they give you a bag with towels, water, and bedding on the sand. You can take a taxi back. The cost is 15 dirhams, the journey time is 10 minutes. One disadvantage is the queue for breakfast at the restaurant, but it moves fast.
The hotel is super! Located in the center of Fujairah within walking distance of shopping malls and attractions. I liked the food at the hotel. The staff is helpful and polite. Requests and questions were resolved quickly. In the evening, you can relax in the bar with live music. The gym is equipped with modern equipment. I recommend the hotel!
everything is fine, the price-quality ratio is excellent. excellent service, the quality of food is excellent, the pool is clean, the staff is friendly and always happy to help. for a beach holiday, this hotel, like Fujairah in general, can suit few people.
Everything in the hotel is clear, thought out, seamless and backed by the high standards of the Accor group. Importantly, it is adapted to those periods when there are many of our compatriots in the hotel. The restaurant is small, but it copes. Each dish, without exception, is delicious, it is clear that the chef tried and worked it out before taking it to the hall. Well done!!
The beaches of Fujairah are simply gorgeous at this time
Excellent price-quality ratio. Convenient location. A well-organized transfer to the beach. The rooms are clean, linen and towels are changed, and the room is cleaned daily.
The food is excellent, you will not stay hungry. A varied menu. Delicious.
I recommend it for a relaxing family holiday.
Of the advantages, the new one is clean, the convenient location is well cleaned. Minuses. They save money. On tourists. They are being squeezed in canteens. Free carbonated drinks were served for dinner. They only gave me a bottle of water. Towels for the beach are small, worn out, and they don't give you much. Our dinner was delayed upon arrival. The request to reschedule for another lunch was refused. They gave me a bag with 2 croissants and four pineapple slices. At check-out. Have you been waiting for breakfast for a long time? Big lunch. And they didn't give me any water. From the animation: they promise karaoke and a cocktail once a week. In fact, nothing🥺
I put 3🌟 and I'll explain why. I'll start with the pros.
+ The food is delicious, decent, but the choice is not great. I took breakfast + dinner. Which is good, it was possible to change dinner for lunch. It came in handy a couple of times. The staff, cleanliness and service are also a credit. Everyone is cheerful, smiling and does their job well. I also liked the beach, sandy, clean, almost not a single pebble, and the hotel provides a free shuttle service, just 10-12 minutes away.
- Upon arrival at the hotel, they did not immediately check in, there were problems with the rooms, but thanks to the staff, they provided a free transfer and a 5🌟 hotel for the night for a replacement. Still, I had to spend the next half day moving back. I checked in, the room was very damp and it lasted for the remaining 5 days. The photos of the hotel and rooms also did not meet expectations. In reality, everything is boring and outwardly dreary. They obviously know how to take pictures, well, or very old photos (
And a little more about the excursions from the hotel. I paid $160 for 3 of them. 50 for Dubai, 55 for Oman (boat tour) and 55 for Safari. I'll be brief. It's not cheap at all and it's not worth the money. For comparison, I was in Egypt, where it is 2 times cheaper and 2 times better than this type of entertainment. This is my personal opinion. The only thing I really liked was the Safari tour. Thanks to our driver, the show program and the organizers, we were really surprised. I recommend this fun to everyone. What about the tour to Dubai. My advice to you is to drive on your own and see much more and what you want. Yes, it will take almost the whole day, but it's worth it and it will be cheaper. I really liked Dubai, but I didn't want to see it in this format. We spent the whole day, but we didn't really see anything, the driver stopped at each location for 15-20 minutes with the words; take pictures and go on. What I can see in 15 minutes is not clear. Plus, the road from one location to another takes a lot of time. And we did not approach the locations, everything was somewhere in the distance. Therefore, I repeat, my advice to you is to go your own way and choose 2-3 locations. Dubai🔥🔥🔥 I just fell in love. I'll arrange things differently next time.
Overall, I liked Fujairah as a city, but next year I will go to Sharjah, well, or to Dubai. I don't think I'll ever stay at this hotel again, but it'll do for the first time.
Please do not be biased, I painted everything as it is, without exaggeration. There are always pros and cons. Therefore, 3🌟 is generally satisfied with the rest. Thank you.
Not a bad hotel. Good, smiling staff, always try to help in all matters.
There is a small selection of dishes, but you can find something to eat, almost everything is delicious. A small selection of drinks: water, juices, kefir, tea and coffee only in the morning. Awesome desserts.
The rooms are not new, but the main thing is the bed, linen and towels are excellent. Tea-coffee and water are added every day.
The transfer to the beach is normal, it is hardly worth walking in the heat, it takes about an hour.
Near Lulu Mall, there are many cafes and restaurants.
Of the cons:
-there is no place to dry bathing clothes, if something needs to be washed, it is also a problem, the rooms are humid, it smells damp if you do not turn on the air conditioner. It's very humid.
- windows open in rare rooms.
- there is nowhere to eat in Ramadan, only if you buy ready-made food in the supermarket and eat it in the room. The bar and restaurant in the hotel are open by the hour and the locals are fed for dinner first, the rest are allowed in an hour (after the start of dinner).
- there's not much to walk, there's nothing to see - the village.
The hotel, in principle, is not bad. Friendly staff, there is a Russian-speaking girl at the reception.
The room has everything you need for living, cleaned at your request, towels are changed.
There is shampoo, shower gel, body lotion, liquid soap, napkins.
The room has air conditioning, refrigerator, safe, kettle, iron.Cleaners leave tea, coffee, sugar in bags.
If you have extra money, you can give things for washing and ironing, they give you a price list.
The hotel provides towels, a beach mat, and water for the beach.to the beach - transfer from the hotel, three times from the hotel and back, if desired, you can take a taxi, the cost is approximately 17 dirhams.
The pool is heated, there are enough sun beds, there is also a bar, you can buy alcohol, but the prices are cosmic)
In terms of food, we only took breakfast, you won't stay hungry, there is everything - fruits, porridge, bacon, potatoes, etc., but the food is monotonous.Very tasty juices, especially apple juice.
Lulu shopping center is next to the hotel, it has everything you need. There are many places where you can have a delicious dinner, but keep in mind that the portions are simply huge)
A good hotel, a solid four! There is always something to eat for breakfast. Shuttles to the sea according to the schedule (everyone will leave) are carried back even standing. The only drawback is that there is a mosque nearby....in the morning, they begin to sing prayers (very audible, we always wake up), but not for long. Who sleeps soundly is not critical. Next to the hotel there is a supermarket lu-lu, there is an exchange and foot courts, in the grocery store there is some kind of cooking (shawarma, grilled chicken) next to the Fujairah mall, there is a McDonald's, a supermarket to carry... Cafes and restaurants nearby are also in abundance...
I was at the hotel in October 2024, at this price (I'll write a little lower) it will do, I went for air, sun, sea, and not for excursions, and I got it. The rooms are good, the bus to the beach is on schedule, if there are a lot of people, a second bus is served, the beach is not equipped (there are no sun beds, umbrellas) but they give the hotel a sunbed, a towel and water. Food is a minus for me! Chicken, fish, rice, pasta, potatoes and two types of soup, all in spices, spicy. For lunch and dinner, only water, but there is boiling water, you can take the tea leaves from the room and brew them. I ate chicken and fish for a year ahead in 5 days! There is nothing for children except dessert (I would not feed my son for 13 years). The pool is good, they give towels, there are sun beds and umbrellas. There is a queue in the restaurant at least for breakfast, lunch and dinner!!! There is no entertainment!! My opinion is no more than 5 nights, as I was, and at a price of 55,000 full board and generally fire. Why did I go? I got everything - I rested.
In general, you can go once. The food is varied, there is a Russian-speaking staff. Nearby shopping malls are Fujairah Mall and Lulu Mall. We liked Lulu mall a little more. There you will find everything - both food and good shopping. The sea is beautiful and warm. Colored fish and many turtles swim next to the stones.
The room has everything you need to stay. The room is clean and quite spacious. Nearby there is a beautiful mosque (you can walk and even run around) and a Lu-Lu store (groceries, currency exchange, etc.). The food is delicious. Clean everywhere: in the rooms, in the pool, in the dining room, at the reception, around the hotel. But there are problems with visiting the beach - the bus is very small and runs to the beach only in the morning. Many tourists will be bored - there is no entertainment.
We had a vacation in January 2025. I liked everything. Comfortable rooms with very high-quality sound insulation. The convenient location allows you to stroll around the city in the afternoon and evening. There are no questions or requests for the hotel
A good hotel, excellent staff, cozy rooms, a wonderful pool, well-cooked, a large selection of dishes, a little far from the sea (ocean), but they take you to the beach and back by bus
We had a rest from 15.01.25 to 24.01.25. The hotel is nice, we liked it. We took half board, the choice of food was good, fruits- watermelon, melon, pineapple was sliced in the evening. The room is cleaned every day, towels are changed every day too. The staff's attitude is friendly. A shuttle service takes you to the beach according to schedule, and sun beds, towels, and water are provided to the beach. The staff always goes to meet you, they asked you to open the window, they opened it without any problems. The beach is clean, cleaned every day. I recommend the hotel. Thanks for the rest
A good hotel for a great budget holiday. The rooms are small, the bed is comfortable, the linen is clean. The food is varied and delicious. Attentive staff. Not a bad plan, a gorgeous sea.
The hotel is good, on a solid 4-star. The food is delicious, fresh, but a lot of spicy. The rooms themselves are small, but the bathroom is large, cleaned every day. The transfer to the sea goes often, but the queues are annoying. A huge plus of the hotel is a large heated swimming pool, which is open until 21.00. For an adequate price, it is worth returning here.
The hotel itself is not bad, and the rooms, and the food, and the transfer to the hotel. BUT the hotel's policy discourages any desire to return or recommend this hotel to others. Why check into a hotel where people are vacationing, a CHILDREN'S SPORTS CAMP for 50-60 people???
Children are absolutely uncontrollable, they break elevators, ride them, it is absolutely impossible to use elevators. We have to wait for 10 minutes, there is no alternative road.
A riot in the pool! Screams, screams, occupy sun beds, it is impossible to swim in the pool at the same time. The guards are constantly making remarks to them, but there are no results. The "counselors" don't follow them. They are constantly running around the floors, interfering with sleep. One night, the fire alarm went off - I was woken up at 2 a.m., it was impossible to sleep any further.
The girls at the reception are not friendly. Problems are not solved. Harsh
Last year I wrote a good review about a good hotel. We are now back at this hotel. Nothing has changed except the food. This is terrible! There is absolutely nothing to eat. There are no meat dishes at all. Soups have one name. Finished food is not replenished. Brada has 3 meals a day because remembering that everything was very good last year. Dear hotel management! Take measures on the quality of food. Don't spoil the hotel's rating with this. The rooms in the hotel itself are clean, everything is in the room: tea station, safe, bathroom accessories. The guys at the reception are wonderful, friendly, and ready to resolve any issue. The location of the hotel is good. Nearby shops, pharmacies, minimarkets. Nice pool with sun loungers. There is a scheduled shuttle service to the beach. They give out bags with water, bedding and a towel.
We rested at this hotel in December, we liked everything very much, the rooms are good, the pool is cleaned every day at any time from 9:00 to 21:00 the food is varied,the transfer is every 20-30 minutes, the beach is clean, excursions were taken from Rauf, he works at the hotel, cheaper than others. Everything is great, we'll be back 😊
I am currently staying at this hotel and I am shocked by what is happening here. We arrived in a large company: we paid for 2 rooms for 3 people and one room for two people. All three rooms are terrible ... in the first two it is not clear how to accommodate the third guest and the windows in one room, as if all the birds of Fujairah had shit on the glass. The double room was so full of nicotine that they themselves stank. The bathrooms are large in the rooms, but they are so tired: the showers do not just flow, but pour everything out and it becomes a flood, the sinks are clogged. Apart from towels and liquid soap, there is nothing in the bottle (no toothbrushes, cotton pads, etc.), you will not see bathrobes and slippers here either. They went to sort out one room and brought an extra bed, where the window was dirty, they said that they would replace the room within a couple of days, and where it was smoky, they offered to ventilate the room and could not help in any way. The pool is not heated, they lie that they are heated. The food is very poor. This hotel is barely three stars high. I still can't figure out why the reviews are so good. Today is the second day, if something changes, I will add my review.
delicious cuisine, excellent service, friendly staff, everything is wonderful. The only thing is that the rooms have difficulty opening windows and quite high humidity despite the air conditioning
We had a company of 9 people, had a rest and celebrated the New Year. We had an all-inclusive vacation. It's like they're not ready to work in this format at all in this hotel.
The impressions from the hotel are the worst, but we have something to compare it with)) The room smelled very much of cigarettes and the smell did not disappear until the very exit, all I could do at the reception was open the window!! The staff is rude, and I'm outraged, especially the girl at the reception! we were scolded like children, as if the Russians had a very biased attitude, but they didn't say all this to our faces, but they spoiled our rest, so to speak, behind our backs) the food was 4/10, there was a very poor choice, but we didn't go hungry. The selection of drinks according to the "all on" system is also stingy. There is a bus to the beach according to the schedule, thanks for that) there is only one conclusion: we will never want to return here again!
Positive:
- excellent food, the choice is not very large, but everything is very tasty and varied! Desserts are just one love, not to be compared with all sorts of tasteless Turkey, Egypt and Cuba.
- availability of towels, bedding and water for the beach + separate towels for the pool
- large swimming pool
- daily cleaning
- wonderful staff, Russian-speaking girls at the reception and in the restaurant. Special thanks to the last one, if you're reading, you know why, from room 2105 :)
- daily replenishment of water and tea/ coffee in the room
- hotel in the center, within walking distance of shops and shopping center, mosque and fort
- starched bed linen and white towels, change if necessary, there is a card at check-in, where it is indicated that if you need to mark the linen, then put the card on the bed. And then I read the reviews that they didn't change, or maybe because you need to learn elementary English and understand what is written on the map?
-the presence of a transfer to the beach, but minus its organization, I will describe below
- availability of a kettle, refrigerator, hair dryer in the room
- no one can be heard in the neighboring rooms and on the street
-wi-fi everywhere in the hotel
- drinks for girls for free at the bar on Tuesday and Friday
- large room and beautiful view from the 21st floor
- no mosquitoes and midges
Minuses:
- far from the beach. Of course, you can walk, but it's not a dream
- from here I consider the disadvantage of having such a hard start on the time of the traffic, our citizens go to the breach, jostle and arrange a battle for a seat on the bus, if the traffic started walking earlier, then people would be exactly distributed, and so it turns out a lot of people gather by 8.30, scandals due to the fact that everyone does not fit in. A very negative moment at the beginning of the day. + the last bus from the beach is at 13. The same story, a lot of people and swearing. Well, here you need to make a discount on the fact that after all, the concept of the hotel is "urban", and not beach. But if you accept beachgoers, then you need to organize this process somehow.
- the windows in the room do not open
- there are no drinks except water at lunch and dinner.
- the start mode of the pool, it works from 9 o'clock, for those who get enough sleep early in the morning it would be very cool to swim before breakfast and a trip to the beach.
- when there is a large occupancy of the hotel, it simply cannot cope with the load, people do not get on buses to the beach and there are no seats in the restaurant, you have to wait in line!
A few more nuances about Fujairah itself, does not apply to the hotel!
- beautiful sea and black sand on the beach. Tides daily from the middle of the day, the sight is amazing, the sand becomes like a mirror.
- on the beach, the deadline for staying is 17.00 - then the locals gather and ambiguously hint that our time in swimsuits is over. You feel like you're on an X-ray.
- there is a chance of rain, in this case the beach is closed
- the state is not intended for pedestrians, there are very few traffic lights and practically no sidewalks + there is no public transport at all, movement is only by taxi. You can catch it right on the road
- it's boring enough, if you can drive around the city in Dubai, then there's nothing to do here
- it is very diverse in supermarkets for fruits and in general for all products, but the prices are absolutely not loyal (I compare with Moscow)
There are pros and cons. This is a city hotel, multinational. There are no excesses, but everything you need is there. Friendly staff, spacious rooms. A big minus is the last departure from the beach at 13h, then at your own expense by taxi.
Excellent hotel, high service, almost all Russian tourists are in the hotel, the ocean is very warm, a transfer takes them to the beach, someone wrote that everyone does not fit and you have to wait for the next one, we solved this problem right away, I take off one star for food, delicious, but very monotonous, you need to review the menu of course But otherwise everything is cool!
The hotel is more or less a long walk to the beach, we walked for 40 minutes and got tired of catching a taxi.
By bus (and always takes different routes - 10/12 minutes) . The schedule before Lunch, the last bus leaves at 13:00 from the beach - it is very inconvenient and small.
They take you to a cool beach (urban), everything is clean, not a lot of people, there are some coffee shops and cafes , not much, but enough .
Breakfast for 3 people at dinners, they don't give you anything to drink except water, it's also not a big choice (I had fish once in 5 days) . In general, you should not expect any frills in nutrition . You won 't stay hungry either , you 've had some vegetables and fruits .
I really liked the hotel! Wonderful room facilities. Regular cleaning.Nice pool and shuttle service to the beach. The only negative is the lack of tea and coffee for lunch and dinner, we are Russians, we are used to having a pie.
Great hotel. It's a good restaurant. Buses run from the hotel to the beach. Beach towels and mats are provided . Cleaning was carried out every day . There is a bar near the pool and in the hotel. Live music . There are fresh flowers in the lobby
By the hotel:
Number:the temperature of the air conditioner is not set in the room, which is not very convenient.The windows do not open (unless you unscrew the screw in the handle).How to dry wet clothes in the room?No way, there's nothing there for that.
The sound insulation is good, the bed with pillows is good.
Food:It's monotonous, we haven't found anything new in six days, there's chicken and fish from meat every day, and once there was beef for Christmas, apparently for a holiday, but you won't leave hungry.In the evening, the drinks are only water.
Beach: Umbrella, normal, has everything you need.By taxi 15-20 dirhams, depending on traffic jams.
There are shops nearby, you can buy food.They didn't change the money for us because we had a Russian passport, and we saw the refusal right away.But in Lu-Lu, you can pay in dollars (new ones) and the change will be given in dirhams.The Rosselkhoznadzor Union card works, and you can change it from Rauf, after buying the tour, he changed our dollars, the exchange rate is better than at the hotel.
On excursions, you can buy on the ground floor from Rauf, cheaper than from the tour operator.
In general, the hotel was not impressed, but not the worst.We just expected more from Novotel.
The food certainly wants the best. You have to stand in line for tea and coffee. The room service is super special. Everything is clean, the outdoor pool is icy, and swimming in cold water is not very good.
Nice hotel, everything is clean and comfortable.the food is wonderful.Bus beach or taxi.
There are minor disadvantages such as the mosque opposite (noise at 5 a.m.) and poor ventilation in the rooms, perhaps in other rooms with a view of the airport there are no such problems.
We rested at the end of December in this hotel. Among the advantages are spacious clean rooms, a large bathroom, a kettle with tea, coffee, iron, safe, Wi-Fi, fast, etc. The food is quite varied, we took breakfast and dinner, only water is free of drinks in the evening, the rest is for money, for example, we took a glass of wine for 32 dirhams. There is one Russian-speaking girl in the restaurant, but in principle, minimal English is enough with the rest. There is also a cozy area with sun beds and a swimming pool on the 1st floor, you can also take beach accessories there, there is a huge underground parking for free. Of the cons, the hotel is tired, there are no bathrobes, slippers, toothbrushes and other small things in the room, there is little light, it is very dark, the balcony does not open, the windows are very dirty. If the air conditioner was set to a minimum, a musty smell appeared. And this hotel is not particularly suitable for a beach holiday, because it takes 15 minutes to go to the nearest not the best umbrella beach, the transfer runs only until 13.00 (we did not use a rental car). A nice beach is 30 minutes away in Korfokan. In Fujairah itself, there is nothing to see from the sights, there are many retail outlets, products are relatively inexpensive, there is an outlet and an adidas outlet nearby in Lulu mall, plus all sorts of jewelry made of gold and silver, there is a large selection. You can walk along the embankment in the evening, there are benches, cafes, hookah, and just everything new and pretty there. Dubai is 1.5 hours away, the roads are good, the police are not worth it, there are cameras everywhere, but you can safely drive, observing the speed. In general, we liked the UAE, but next time we will still choose Dubai.
I highly recommend it!
Friendly, conscientious staff, always prompt and help, always leave a lot of water. The food is very tasty, fresh and varied. Free shuttle service to the city beach. And of course the location is perfect, all the main attractions of the emirate are within walking distance. It can be seen a little that the hotel is not new, mainly because of the carpets, but this does not spoil the impression of a holiday :)
Great hotel. There is a shuttle service to the sea. The restaurant serves delicious food. The breakfast is hearty. There are two supermarkets nearby. The room is cleaned every day.
The beach is far away
Inconvenient transfer schedule on the beach, after lunch only by taxi and round trip.
The queue at the restaurant for breakfast and dinner.
In general, the food is not very bad only for dinner, there is not even tea, only water in a carafe, but this is not critical since there is a kettle in the room and you can make tea and coffee yourself daily.
Room cleaning for 5 every day
