I don't know what it is about the hotel but it gave me Florida vibes when I entered the parking
Hotel is pretty well priced for an all inclusive package
We were delighted with the hotel!
Excellent service, attentive (but delicate) staff, all staff were always friendly and ready to help, very friendly to children.
Beautiful hotel building, stylish lobby, well-groomed territory. The beach and the sea are in one step.
A comfortable room, there is everything you need (from slippers and bathrobes to a hair dryer and iron), cleaning and changing of towels and bed linen took place every day (!) without requests and reminders.
Delicious and varied food, a large selection of dishes (both classic and original), everything is fresh and juicy. Vegetables, meat, seafood, fruits, sweets - for every taste. We liked salads, main dishes, passion fruit and pineapple. As an alternative to lunch in a restaurant for full-board guests, there are lunch boxes with fast food (burgers, sandwiches, pizza, etc.; a fruit plate is a delight!), which can be ordered at the pool bar (there or on the beach).
Cool animation (yoga, aquazumba, water polo), a children's room, we got to Halloween - great!
We recommend choosing full-board tours, as the prices on the menu (by Russian standards) are high. Only alcoholic beverages are not included in the full board.
Of the disadvantages (they were insignificant for us): the hotel is not located on the sea, but on the gulf (Persian Gulf); there are many crows on the territory of the hotel, which hunt for leftovers on street tables.
Impressions of the hotel and rest for 5+, we will boldly recommend to friends and are ready to come again.
I was here in November 2024. In general, a good option for recreation.
Positive:
- A new hotel with a good quality renovation.
- The rooms are spacious and thoughtful, there is everything you need. It is very pleasant to be in them.
- The Internet is free throughout the territory, even on the beach it catches freely.
- It's worse with TV, the TVs are big, with apple TV, but there are no channels in Russian, there's not much to watch.
- The rooms are cleaned every day. They clean well, wash the mirrors and rub the bathroom. Even things are neatly folded. In general, the staff is very polite and friendly.
- The beach is quite spacious, the sea is gorgeous, clean. Always calm. Crabs are often found on beaches, various fish, for example, needle fish.
- Quite good food, buffet. Lots of greenery, there are fruits. The meat is worse, but generally enough. There were not enough first courses. Well, there's always a queue for omelets in the morning. The drinks are quite varied. If everything is included, then ok. If you take only breakfast, lunch is 140 dirhams, dinner is 160 dirhams, which is frankly expensive for such a choice.
- There are free transfers to Dubai Mall on Wednesdays. But you need to make an appointment in advance, there may not be enough places.
Of the cons:
- There are no cafes, attractions, or normal shops in the area, prepare only for rest on the territory of the hotel.
- The territory is small, there is not much place to walk.
- The hotel is constantly being renovated. Not only do they drill all day, but they also start drilling from 7 a.m. Facilities are also being built in the neighborhood and they are also drilling all day. All this translates into endless noisy repairs from early morning. Well, there are also several mosques in the area, of course you will hear all of them.
- The screams of crows are added as a bonus to these sounds. Yes, it is crows, seagulls and other seabirds that are not here. Crows like to steal food from plates. They are the only birds here.
- There is a problem with sun beds on the beach. They have been engaged since the opening of the beach, it is difficult to find a place. It would be possible to put more sun beds on at least 1 row, but the administration does not do this.
Nice hotel. It is ideal for relaxing holidays. Keep in mind that this is not a Turkish hotel with such animation.
I liked it in terms of design.
The rooms are fresh and beautiful. Very nice bed linen. The cosmetics in the hotel are beyond praise. An Australian eco brand that is not found everywhere.
There are a lot of cool branded little things from the point of view of marketing.
A good buffet - lots of vegetables and salads, several types of meat, there is fish and pastries for breakfast are very tasty. The menu changes slightly every day of the week.
The Internet is excellent throughout the hotel, including the beach.
The water in the bay is clean, the entrance is gentle. It is well suited for families with children.
Pleasant diffusers inside the hotel.
The sea is not hot for me personally. Yes, it is warm, but comfortable.
We did not notice any biased attitude of the staff towards us due to nationality at all.
The locals did come on weekends, but there was enough space for everyone.
Yes, in the season, you will not be able to come to the beach at 10 a.m. without taking a place beforehand.
We came to dinner at 20.00, not at 19.00, because we wanted to sit inside. If it doesn't matter to you, then there are places at 19.00.
The hotel is gorgeous! Food, drinks, swimming pool, sea 2 steps away, service - everything is on top! The hotel is new, not shabby, everything is stylish and beautiful)) it is more suitable for a relaxing holiday with relaxation, it is possible with children, there is a children's area and a game room. There were no discos, but we chose the hotel without this additional noise. There is a tennis court , but it is impossible to be on it and even play there because of the heat. There is a gym inside - small but cozy with new exercise equipment) The territory of the hotel is small in fact, there is nowhere really to go outside the hotel, and the heat is exhausting there, so it was best to stay in the hotel with air conditioning. in general, I recommend the hotel, but understand that it is for a quiet relaxing holiday, without traffic, discos and water slides))
We had a rest from 08/28 to 4.09 And it was unforgettable, calm and peaceful!!!🧘🏻♀️ That's because:
1.The service of Prof.Level up! The reception will always help / prompt, immediately resolve any issue.
2. The kitchen is amazing! There's something new for every dinner. Seafood, fish, cheeses. There are sauces that lack flavor. We had a breakfast and dinner buffet.
3. The waiters are very friendly and smiling. It is clear that they love their work. On Saturday, the locals also rested, so there was a slight hitch. But no one expected a free table or their drink for hours.
4. Room cleaning is daily. There you will find everything: a hair dryer, a prof.cosmetics, a cap, threads, a hair band, a nail file, etc.😳The bed linen is so clean and airy that it creaks in your hands, so they refused to change the linen daily, leaving a yellow mark on the bed. She's standing on the bedside table) Of the cleaning staff, we really liked Him and Gill. The guys are very well-mannered and competent in their business. They will only take tips if they are lying on the bed. By the way, the sockets are universal (everything worked for a smartphone and iPhone).
5. The sea is calm. One day it was windy, so you could find beautiful shells on the shore. We were lucky enough to see small and one bigger fish, crabs, platypus. The igloo fish/sargan was also seen. They are small-not dangerous! I swam with glasses, it seems they were more afraid of me, and not the other way around😆
6.The beach is clean, where some construction debris was seen there is absolutely not clear. Order is monitored on the beach, violators are notified with a whistle. You can take cold water in unlimited quantities, spread natural fruit ice😜There is a cream and face spray on the towel rack. The sun beds are very comfortable and clean, they were washed during our rest period, and the covers were changed.
7. The pool is refreshing. The optimal depth level. I am a swimmer and I was able to calmly satisfy my need!!! They conduct water aerobics, water football and a competition on the sand. It was very cool! After reading a review that someone has acne, I honestly laughed, because the pool is treated with bleach. Which is a huge plus against infection! The main thing is to observe hygiene BEFORE and AFTER the pool. There is a shower and gel for this😏
8. We went to Dubai on Tuesday. You need to book a place on the bus in advance. The round trip took 1.5-2 hours, taking into account traffic jams. But it was worth it! They connected to the Internet in the Mall (only registration is needed, without an SMS code)👍🏻
We are 100% satisfied with the rest! We didn't see the disadvantages, in fact, we weren't looking for them! We wish you the same on vacation!
A wonderful hotel , high level of service , very stylish design of the lobby and rooms. And special attention is the view from the window! The first line , the beach is clean. There are many different activities, during the day there is yoga , aquazumba , volleyball, scooter rides on the beach.We took rooms with Full Board . And I recommend it only this way , because there are no cafes and restaurants in the area within walking distance. The cuisine is very diverse , there are many options for meat, fish , fresh and processed vegetables. I would also like to note how delicious hummus is! A large number of desserts and fruits . The staff is very pleasant and courteous! Our room was so beautifully decorated with fresh flowers, very clean, cleaned every day! Many thanks to our Housekeeper - Deepa!
We recently returned from a vacation at the Vida Beach Resort. The hotel is really very stylish, it's nice to be in it, every detail is thought out in the interior, it smells nice everywhere. But the main advantage of this hotel is its staff. I've probably never met such friendly, helpful employees before. Especially if you are vacationing with a small child, keep in mind - now he is a star :) but adults do not remain without attention, we were constantly asked if everything was in order, asked for feedback after checking into the room and were moved without any problems with a small problem in our room.
Cleaning is daily, there are always two large bottles of water in the room, you do not have to constantly ask at the reception or even pay extra. A small addition for those who are used to sleeping in complete darkness is to bring a sleep mask with you, the fire alarm and air conditioning light blinks all night in the room.
Food: since we were apparently vacationing out of season, I can't say that there was a lot of food, most of the dishes are very spicy, some are even too spicy for our receptors. There was always meat, chicken, fish and various side dishes, as well as salads and various cold appetizers. But keep in mind, if you are vacationing with a small child, then it will be difficult to find something to feed him.
Beach and pool: We had a rest in early February and it was obvious that the sea was still cool, but the water in the pool was so warm that the cold sea did not mar our rest at all. The pool is shallow, and there is also a small playground with fountains where a child can swim. The location of the hotel is really such that one half of the sun beds by the pool are always in the shade, but despite this we always had enough sun beds.
There is a free shuttle service to Dubai on Wednesdays and Saturdays, which is available for the whole day. You can also take an individual transfer from a girl offering guided tours and travel around Dubai with a personal driver, it costs like a round trip taxi.
By the way, few places talk about this, but the hotel is located about 1-1.5 hours from Dubai, and if you are "lucky" like us, it can take almost 3 hours to get to the hotel if it is prime time. Therefore, it is better to go to this hotel for those who just want to relax and relax away from the hustle and bustle, for this the hotel has absolutely all the conditions.
I really liked the hotel. The service is good. The staff is friendly. The condition of the rooms is excellent. It is clean, there is a lot of high-quality food, delicious cooking, a buffet system. The beach is in good condition, the sea is warm, the pool is cool. You can take a towel and water right on the beach. Ice cream made from orange, watermelon, melon, pineapple and mango juice is distributed. There is a shuttle service to Dubai. 10 minutes by taxi to the big hyper - Lulu.
We were at this hotel from October 14th to 21st. An ideal place for a family holiday: clean, sandy beach, azure sea, delicious and varied food, polite and friendly staff. The room was prepared promptly and allocated with a large balcony, the repair was fresh, there was no damage, there was also an ironing board and an iron, which is very convenient. No bail was taken. The rooms were cleaned daily. For families with young children, there is a very cool playroom, a small swimming pool and a playground
I liked the hotel very much, it is beautiful, stylish, delicious, prompt assistance from the staff when necessary. A small area, but if the hotel is not fully loaded, then this is a plus. I liked the gym. Of the cons - if the locals come on weekends, then there is a problem with sun beds, that's all)
Separately, I want to note the gorgeous serving of dishes on the menu, and the fact that when you come to the beach they bring you a towel and water, it's straight ☺️👍
A magnificent hotel. A place for a relaxing holiday. Without animation and loud music.
We had a vacation with a child for 5 years. This place is ideal for families with children. Everything is nearby: beach, swimming pool, playground and kids club. Everything is in 2 steps. Exceptionally good service. All the staff are smiling and hospitable.
Of the cons: the hotel's surroundings. There is nothing within walking distance. Huge vacant lots, a few ugly shops, poor houses. But, it seems, the emirate is being built up. It may get better in the coming years.
The prices in the hotel restaurant are exorbitant. At the same time, there is nowhere else to eat nearby. 500-1000 meters away, you can only find fast food eateries.
Despite the high prices, the restaurant's choice of dishes and the taste of the dishes are not so pleasing.
Examples of prices: 30 dirhams for chicken soup, 100-130 dirhams for a hot dish with meat, 50-70 dirhams for a salad.
To sum up: a chic hotel, excellent service, but excessively high prices and mediocre dishes in the restaurant.
PS I forgot to clarify that we took a BB ticket (breakfast only). And my conclusions about the dishes when ordering from the menu.
As for the breakfasts, they are very varied and delicious.
A great hotel for a relaxing and lazy holiday. The sea is incredibly calm, the beach is sandy, as well as the entrance to the sea, you can see crabs crawling under the water - such clean water. The buffet is good, with local specifics, but there are also understandable pasta, chicken and French fries. The fruits on the buffet are good. There are vacationers with young children in the hotel, but there was no noise from them. The hotel provides a free shuttle service to Dubai Mall once a week.
It's a lovely hotel. The rooms are clean and cozy. Cleaning every day. The room has everything, a hairdryer, an iron, and all the toiletries in the bathroom. A USB socket for charging the phone is provided. The beach is always clean. But there are not enough sun beds. We were in February. The breakfasts are delicious. Crows really dine right there. There is not much choice of dishes for dinner. We only took breakfast. We took a taxi to a nearby town. There are many seafood restaurants and the price is twice as low. Overall, the hotel is very nice. There is a tennis court.
We had a rest on the 20th of January. Unexpectedly cool! We drove purposefully to a remote part of the UAE so that it would be quiet and peaceful without the hustle and bustle of the metropolis. And it really is! The room was cool, the beds were soft, but it was cool in the evenings. Breakfasts are on fire. Then we went to the pool to sunbathe, and delicious ice cream was distributed every day. There were volleyball and aquazumba activities. Also, if you get bored, you can take a taxi from the hotel to the zoopark in the area yourself. Plus, the hotel organizes a bus to Dubai Mall 2 times a week on Tuesdays and Saturdays (you must make an appointment in advance).
We are vacationing here from October 12 to 24, 2024. The vacation is calm, the sea is also calm, and the staff is very friendly and smiling.
It's boring here in the evenings, as there is no animation. If you need entertainment, then they are definitely not here. There is only a small city park around the hotel. You can get to the city by taxi for 20 dirhams.
I would like to express special gratitude to the waitress Aliya. She is always friendly, smiling and ready to help in everything! It's nice to communicate with such a person 😊
The place is good, the service is good, the staff is polite, friendly. The food is of good quality and varied. The hotel and rooms are clean, the cleaning is of high quality. The beach is nice, clean, everything is enough. It is necessary to hang a clock on the building from the sea, set up TV channels in Russian and add free transfers to Dubai.
We rested in November for 2 weeks at this hotel, took all inclusive.
About the pros: everything is very clean, well maintained! The smells of the diffusers throughout the hotel are incredibly delicious) Delicious cocktails and alcoholic and non-alcoholic. The sea is fabulously warm! The sun beds are very comfortable, towels can be changed in unlimited quantities per day. The food is also good, I would not say Wow, but there are always fruits, fish, meat of different types, seafood 1 time a day can definitely be obtained.
About the cons: the terrible attitude of the administration towards taking up sun beds in the morning. At 7:30, you can safely not have time to take a sunbed by the pool!! I don't say anything about the sea at all, I don't know how people manage to occupy there. And most importantly, if people were really lying on a sunbed at such an early hour! But they just don't exist, and instead of a body, I see a towel))) Unfortunately, this is very frustrating! The coastline is very narrow, the sand is some kind of clay, yes, there is no garbage in the sea, but it's still somehow unpleasant to step on the bottom with your feet. In comparison, the public beach is completely different, it is a real beach, not an imitation))
Overall, the hotel is excellent, the territory is not large, but everything is available. Yoga in the morning, zumba, volleyball in the evening. You can rent rackets for an hour for free and play lawn tennis.
A public beach can be reached in 10 minutes by taxi from the hotel. I advise everyone! Wide coastline, soft sand, waves!!
Bottom line: the hotel is good, but it's not a five, but a good four))
We had a rest with my husband and child from 19.09 to 29.09.24
Every detail is perfect in this hotel
Complete comfort and enjoyment. Very tasty food, daily room cleaning
A warm swimming pool
It's great for kids. A great children's room
Special thanks to the wonderful employee of the restaurant, Alia, remembers everything, always smiles and finds an approach to the guest! to the cool cheerful rescuers Abdul and Surya and the cleaning worker Dipa, a very nice woman.
Excellent hotel, courteous staff.
The food is quite good, and I liked the breakfast the most. Lunch and dinner are slightly weaker.
The rooms are clean, daily cleaning.
The beach is spacious.
On the downside, everything is quite strict. After the checkout, the service stops.
An incredibly pleasant hotel in every way🤩
The hotel is small, stylish, and cozy. The first line, sandy beach, smooth comfortable, not too long descent.
So, the hotel. The rooms are almost perfect! There is enough space to accommodate everything you need, everything is clean, aesthetically verified👌 In each room, regardless of the category, bathrobes (thick waffle, terry inside), slippers, iron, ironing board, hangers of different sizes, especially trousers and skirts that are not "tied" to the railing (but I always take my own light, plastic ones and then there is definitely enough for everything I bring with me I take 🙈)
Personal hygiene products, including a nail file. Not only shower gel, shampoo, conditioner and body milk 👌
Delicious breakfasts. Lunch and dinner menus. There are a lot of fruits, yoghurts, cheeses for breakfast, in pm with different molds. There are always a lot of free places on the beach. Everything is clean and well maintained. On the beach, unlimited replacement of towels, chilled water, sun protection and after-sun protection.
What you should pay attention to👇
It is better to choose rooms with a balcony, because swimsuits in the bathroom do not dry, it is too humid, there is no heated towel rail
✅ the dryer is also only in the bathroom, where nothing dries)), so to dry swimsuits on the balcony, I had to use a folding stand for a bag/ suitcase. Judging by the appearance of the balconies, they are so used everywhere here
✅ the large number of crows on the beach turned out to be strange for me 🤷🏻♀️ There are no seagulls, the noise of the sea is muffled by the croaking of crows - it was unusual))
But these are small things!
In general, the impressions are very pleasant, I will be happy to return there again 🤗
Lovely hotel, clean and peaceful. One room was given almost immediately, the other after 2 hours. However, all the suitcases were brought to one room. The area is clean, the pool is warm and clean. The sea is generally nearby. The towel is changed according to the requirements. However, the bars close ahead of time. 20-15min before closing time. And there wasn't enough evening music. But in general, everything is great!!!
Great hotel, nothing but positive emotions. The staff, food conditions, and accommodation are all top notch. A deluxe suite with a view of the city was booked, but on. We offered an improved room with a sea view, thanks a lot for that. Buffet, free drinks at the pool bar, and you can grab a snack there. Heated swimming pool with sea water. Highly recommend it!
Excellent hotel: good prices, delicious food, friendly staff, daily room cleaning, lots of places nearby for hiking and cycling (bicycles are provided free of charge at the reception). I liked everything, I'll come back again.
I liked everything. Cleanliness in rooms, hotel, beach. Polite staff. The food is delicious, and I haven't had time to get bored in 5 days.
One of the disadvantages. The hotel is located far from any retail outlets. I had to walk for 30-40 minutes to the nearest shopping malls.
On vacation, to celebrate the New Year 2025, we flew to the UAE again. Excellent Vida Beach Resort Umm Al Quwain hotel on the Persian Gulf coast. It's a quiet place. The sun and the sea! On New Year's Eve, we had a wonderful banquet with fireworks. The food was very tasty and varied. A quiet and peaceful vacation. We really enjoyed it!
A cool, modern hotel for family holidays. On the first line. The pool is 15 meters from the sea. The sea is very warm, the pool is cool. The rooms are cleaned every day. The staff is very friendly. Special thanks to the staff Salman (2nd floor) and Aliya (waiter in the restaurant). On the downside, I had to pay 200 dirhams for early check-in.

The hotel is very good! Everything is very clean, daily cleaning.
The staff is wonderful!
The food is delicious, but somewhat monotonous and spicy dishes. With young children, you need to be careful with unexpectedly spicy dishes.
There are not enough places on the beach, you need to get up early to take a good place by the pool or on the beach.
The sea is beautiful!! The water is clean, the sand is great.
Opposite the hotel, there is a wasteland, there are small shops where Indians sell. It has everything you need and is VERY inexpensive.
Also, a taxi to a large supermarket is 15aed from the reception.
With young children, you can walk along the embankment in the evening, which begins to the north of the hotel. There you can ride cars for 25aed 15minutes.
I generally recommend the hotel.
We stayed at the hotel from November 1 to 11ноября 2023г all clients receive a private transfer from the airport in a beautiful cars,the hotel is new and so everything is new and modern,perfect cleanliness,friendly staff,all necessary cosmetics in the shower,the restaurant is above all praise,you have to take all meals included as there is nothing at the hotel is very quiet,no construction sites,cranes, and the street is not audible even with open Windows,put air to the desired temperature and it is supported in automatic mode,the beach and the sea is very clean,although a Bay.in this Emirate has no oil,no oil ports,no tankers,water is always transparent,no distinct tides in the sea swimming fish harmless, alcohol gorgeous wine Portugal,as well cocktails both alcoholic and non alcoholic,pool bar is open until 19 hours,then all ordered the restaurant to 23,the dinner ends at 23 hours after dinner, you can repeatedly go to a restaurant to take fruits and desserts, you can order a La carte on each table or the trust by the pool has a barcode to direct him the phone and exits all menus and can be easily ordered,and from the buffet to pick the fruit and sweets,juices in hotel piketirovanijah we always buy in the market,and in General we were very happy and decided to eat in the hotel again from 11 April,the hotel is very green which is not peculiar to the UAE,but who needs action you are not here,to Dubai to drive 40 min,the hotel provides a free Shuttle service to Dubai on Tuesdays,you need to leave the request on the Desk we were satisfied
An amazing hotel! Thank you for the delicious food, excellent service and very courteous staff)
Clean beach and comfortable pool
I will be happy to come again)
We were from 03/19/24 to 03/26/24
A chic hotel for a passive holiday! An excellent restaurant with delicious food and drinks (we took a ticket without lunch and for good reason, after such a hearty breakfast I'm not particularly hungry for dinner).
Excellent gym with new equipment, open 24 hours.
Clean and pleasant rooms (cleaning every day) with excellent personal hygiene products in the shower.
The pool is very good (it's a pity it's not deep).
There is an opportunity to sign up for a tennis court, rent a bike and ride around the area.
The staff is very polite and courteous.
I think I haven't described all the advantages of this hotel, but I definitely recommend it!
The service is super. The staff too. Amateur food. That is, not Turkey. But on the whole it's not bad. The sweet is very good..cleanliness is above all praise. The beach is not bad. So is the pool. Crows are annoying sometimes.
It's not a bad hotel, but. The reception staff does not speak Russian, although half of the tourists are Russian-speaking, the sockets turned out to be of local standard, and adapters for electrical appliances are needed. There are no changing rooms or fresh water showers on the beach. Check-in at the hotel at 3 p.m., arrived at 7 a.m., if rooms are available, check in for 150 dirhams. I didn't have to wait. The food is not very varied, it's fine for me, but the gourmets don't have much to eat there. I don't know about alcohol, I haven't used it. Towels are sometimes brought late at the beach.
Suitable for family holidays, no noisy annoying animations, quiet and peaceful. In general, the impressions are positive)
The hotel is for a relaxing holiday by the sea. The building is small and compact, there are 4 separate houses. You can live with a small dog. The territory of the hotel is very small - literally a car entrance area (a fountain and a little greenery around), Parking for cars (a lot of locals come by for the weekend). On the other hand, there is an immediate exit to the beach (200 meters long). The beach is sandy with interspersed shells (you can do without coral slippers). There are enough sun beds with mattresses (they will always find a free one). Beach guys are given towels and cold bottled water without any cards. The beach opens at 7, closes at sunset (approximately at 18). The entrance is pleasant-you can comfortably splash at a shallow depth, but also close to the "depth". There is a swimming pool (it has Jacuzzi areas). At 11 o'clock, aqua aerobics is held by a representative of Jamaica (music thunders only at this time). There is a bar next to the pool-open during the day. There is a children's pool under a rack canopy with flowers-showers in it). Shower by the pool and for feet on the beach, there are no changing rooms. The hotel is located in a bay, but the water is not stagnant. There was often a lake surface, but the tides are also felt. A couple of moments were very strong. At first it seemed that the buoys were very close, but once in such a current, I realized that it was just right (I had to hold on to the buoy rope for 25 minutes-wait so as not to be carried away). Buoys and ropes are covered with corals, sponges, ophiures. They are inhabited by many small crabs , which come to catch small sandpipers and !!! crows (in this hotel for the first time I felt that the most seabird is a crow. They live in large numbers on palm trees - they begin to practice singing from sunrise to sunset, they do not stop. And by lunch, the croaking turns into a kind of quacking). The left half of the beach rests on a breakwater made of stones. There you can swim with a mask -red snapper up to 50cm, silver swallow fish, a large flock of moharr, Arabian scolops, black-striped sea crucian up to 40cm, Arabian angel small, mullets, crabs different (blue large), you can see hedgehogs: diadem and scaler. Right along the entire shore at the edge floats a three-striped elephant in small flocks, tilozura. The barracuda was coming. Along the entire beach, companion bulls with nutcracker crayfish live in burrows. On the right there is a playground with natural green grass. In the morning, udots "grazed" there. Sometimes seagulls flew. A cormorant was drying on the rocks, and a gray heron periodically joined it. Parrots flew by in transit. Under the supervision of a mass entertainer, you can swim on soup boards with a paddle. There are practically no motor vehicles: on weekends, a couple of times a local on a scooter "lit up" within sight, and the boats (0-3 per day) passed far enough. The hotel itself is new (or after a very fresh hi-tech renovation). The lobby is beautiful, lots of seats with chairs and tables, a bar with sweets. The exit towards the bay is a bar area: "restaurant" tables (you can eat outside), zones of small tables with sofas, armchairs, pillows. There are tubs of live olives around - it's beautiful (there are tubs of inanimate olives in the lobby, but at first glance you can't tell them from the living ones)! The staff brings mobile air conditioners to the vacationers (so that it is pleasant to sit). Russian Russian-speaking guys at the reception are friendly (no one speaks Russian at the hotel and there are no instructions in Russian). You can get to YOUR floor by elevator using a room key card (without confirmation by the card, the elevator will not be lucky). The rooms are small but cozy, many without balconies (things in the bathroom practically do not dry). Everything is new-there is nothing chipped, scratched. One sink with a large countertop, a shelf at the bottom (LED strip under it), a full-length mirror above the sink, a magnifying mirror with backlight, there is a hygienic shower next to the toilet. The shower is separated by a sliding glass wall. High-tech plumbing, everything works clearly. The hair dryer is powerful. On the countertop-liquid soap and lotion, shower cap, ear sticks, 2 glasses. In the shower: shampoo, conditioner, body gel. Everything is always filled. In the shower, there is a d/drying string hidden in the wall. 2 bath towels, 2 d/ person, 2 medium. At the entrance, a small closet with transparent doors, when opened, the backlight turns on: there is a ironing board with a good iron, waffle bathrobes, disposable slippers, 4 hangers. Separately, a couple of open and a couple of closed shelves, a safe (free). The room has a large double bed, a mattress of medium softness. The bed linen is white with ribbed trim, very pleasant. Everything is new, without stains and bad smell (by the way, everywhere (hall, corridors) smells of Arabic incense, in places very intrusive). Bedside tables on each side. Telephone. Bedside lighting is individual. The general lighting is not very bright, a floor lamp. The table is large: a mirror, a teapot, 2 glasses, teaspoons, tea bags-black, green, instant coffee, sugar, 4 small bottles of water (always refilled without problems). A small refrigerator (freezes perfectly!).The curtains are rubberized. Armchair. There is a small clamshell d / suitcase-but somehow there is no place where to put this clamshell (suitcases in the room are superfluous!😂). A huge TV above the table (opposite the bed), but, in my opinion, there are no Russian channels (we did not turn it on). Internet is available anywhere in the hotel (and on the beach). It's not possible to talk on Whatsapp, and photos and written messages are no problem. There is no resort fee and no deposits. The restaurant is lovely. Also in the style of high-tech and loft. The food is great. And vegetables (except tomatoes-they are slightly oak): cucumbers, carrots, green salad of 2-3 types, oriental spreads of chickpeas, cheeses, cheeses, sausages (no pork), fruits-watermelons, melons of two types, passion fruit, pitahaya, apples, peaches or grapes-in sufficient quantities. Mixed salads are peculiar, many with an admixture of cereals, but no one has ever been poisoned! There is a lot of meat (especially wonderful lamb lula). The fish is white without bones, clean fillet-it has always been. Mixed seafood (shrimp, squid, shells every other day) is delicious. Squid were also in rings (they did not always succeed). Meat with sauces. All sorts of vegan dishes like okra. Be sure to have rice -amazing, you can eat without anything! (with the increase in the number of guests of Hindu-Pakistanis, it became with specific additives with a bitter base). There are many varieties of bread. Sweet pastries are sagging, by 3 plus (but there is no temptation!😃), there is no oriental baking. Buffet. Drinks must be ordered from the waiter. All without problems, and with alcohol (not bad red wine). They make cocktails. There are carbonated drinks in cans (joy to children!). There are high chairs for children. There are no paper napkins (if you sooooo ask, then the waiter will bring individually). There was always oatmeal porridge in the morning. You can take out food, but somehow no one suffered from it. You can order food in the room (for a fee). You can order food in the restaurant (then you don't use the buffet)-it's free (the kitchen is in plain sight and you can see how the chef is trying hard and chasing subordinates). Not long to wait. I really liked salmon, lamb on a bone. Young people order pizzas, big mags, French fries. The dishes are all clean, there are no chipped positions. There are Indian dishes - but this is not our topic (spicy rice with spices and fried egg on top). The only Russian-speaking waitress, Natasha, works in the restaurant. Polite, explains everything. In the evening, sometimes there is a queue at the restaurant, you have to wait for free tables (not for long). If you don't want to wait, you can sit outside. On one side of the hotel is some kind of municipal building, on the other hand - it is empty on land, and there is a pier in the sea, and opposite the building is unfinished - it seems like a marina is being built. There is no active construction (maybe it is for now, but it was quiet and decent with us). There is practically nowhere to go out - there is a vacant lot in front of the hotel, then there is a new small high-rise building, there are poor supermarkets within walking distance (all to the right). In 2 blocks (if it's not hot, then you can walk in the evening) there is a Lu-Lu hypermarket (like our Intersection, and things on top). By taxi -20 dirhams (you need to negotiate when boarding, when disembarking-prices from the ceiling are cosmic!) . The guide is disgusting (Mustafa). Doesn't explain anything. Stupidly collects money for an excursion (even talks badly about excursions). And he's gone! On Tuesdays there is a free shuttle service to the Dubai Mall (you only need to make an appointment at the reception in advance). Drive an hour and a half. The hotel has its own transfer to the airport (does not stop anywhere). The clothes are loose : both shorts and short T-shirts-all without problems. They even let me into the restaurant in wet clothes (which I didn't like). In general, the hotel is excellent (perhaps we will repeat the arrival). We were from 15.09.23 to 1.10.23. The room has a USB socket-port at each bed (and in the lobby everywhere).
A pleasant hotel with good service, excellent cuisine, friendly staff.A quiet place for a comfortable stay.I had a vacation in 2023.The animation is average, but for a country holiday it's not bad
I really liked the hotel! Great service, rooms are cleaned every day, the food is delicious, clean and calm! If you want a relaxing holiday, this is definitely the place for you!
A very quiet and remote area of the UAE. You should come here if you just need to lie on the beach, relax and sleep. No shopping malls, no discos, no anything around) but a taxi is inexpensive - 10-15 dirhams in the area. You should definitely take a taxi to kite surf beach (open sea and sunset - mmmmm, high).
Now for the hotel - everything is fine, rooms, restaurant, etc. There is a good gym.
2 points should be improved - the number of sunbeds on the beach (they are a massacre, the sun is so hot that you can't lie down without an umbrella) and the quality of the hookah (if you need it).
The hotel has its own beach, but the sea is not open - it is a backwater. There are no waves, the water is almost stagnant, but the temperature is exactly what you need - neither cold nor hot. And it's very salty, you can lie on your back for at least an hour in complete relaxation.
And it also seems like there are some fish if you like to look at underwater ones.
Rest more often!
A very pleasant hotel!!! All the staff is very responsive and attentive. There are always free sunbeds, you do not need to occupy them at 7 a.m.) bring water and a towel and clean it afterwards. The rooms are large, everything is new. Clean up cleanly. There is no place to dry things if there is no balcony, but there's nothing you can do about it. Breakfast buffet, lunch and dinner were always on the menu. The portions are large, the serving is beautiful, the dishes are good, but the choice of dishes is not large and almost the same, but they did not stay hungry. You can order one salad, a second course, dessert and a drink, of course I couldn't eat all 3, I took 2) We did not use the free transfer to the Dubai Mall, so we took an excursion to Dubai on the Turistino website and were very satisfied!
We rested from 28.10.24 to 04.11.24
A family with two teenagers.
We took two double rooms. I wrote to the hotel in advance and they gave us two adjacent rooms. There were interior doors between the rooms.
The food was taken "all inclusive", a great option, there is nowhere to go to eat, prices bite in the hotel restaurant.
The territory is very small, but everything is clean and beautiful.
From cosmetics in the room: shampoo, balm, shower gel, hand soap and body lotion;
On the beach and by the pool: 30 protection cream, after-sun balm and thermal water.
The room has a kettle, tea and coffee bags, water, bathrobes, slippers, iron and ironing board, hairdryer, refrigerator.
The only thing missing was a clothes dryer, there was only one rope in the shower, but it was damp enough to dry clothes.
In general, everything was great!
The hotel is good, the staff is attentive, clean, daily cleaning, there was no dirt or mold in the room. The cosmetics in the room are of high quality. Towels, bathrobes, slippers, an iron and a beautiful view from the room are all for 5) Meals were taken HB +, you can change dinner for lunch, but you had to pay 50 AED for wine per glass, for drinks at the bar, the same prices. The sea is clear. I didn't see any torn sun beds. The pool is one and the depth is up to 1.2 meters. The range of food is not large, but everything is fresh, you will not stay hungry. There is no entertainment program. The hotel has a bad location, there is nowhere to go, excursions were bought from sputnik8, at the hotel and from the tour operator it is more expensive. It was not possible to book a bus for Tuesday, because already on Saturday there were no seats for Tuesday of the following week (a taxi to Dubai in one direction from 5000 rubles. You can warm up, we were satisfied with the rest, but we will not return to this hotel anymore.
The review will be for both future visitors and hotel staff (if they read it here at all)). I am writing a review while still at the hotel, and I will try to write what I have and what I would like more.
1. Rooms: nice, spacious, freshly renovated. They are cleaned very well, there is always new water and towels. Of the cons: in some rooms, the window opens very little, while it is very humid and there are no hooks for clothes and towels. As a result: nothing dries. I would like at least a couple of additional hooks.
2. Food. The Origins restaurant is beyond praise. The buffet is very good, varied, delicious, and for tomorrow, lunch and dinner. During the week of my stay, I did not have time to get bored. Of the cons: a very incomprehensible scheme of operation of all inclusive. You can't order a la carte, only a buffet (although for me the restaurant menu was one of the points why I chose the hotel). In fact, all inclusive includes full board plus unlimited alcohol (there is no similarity to the Turkish all inclusive). Alcohol is inexpensive, but it is quite suitable. You can also order a la carte lunch at the pool bar: mostly fast food, but it will go for a change. The second disadvantage: crows and cats are beggars. I love animals, but I also like to eat in peace. Install an ultrasonic repeller and you will simplify the life of many visitors.
3. The territory and the beach. The territory is small, but there is everything you need. The sea is good, clean, and warm. There are a lot of animals, especially in the evening, so for safety reasons the beach is closed. The swimming pool, playgrounds and so on are also good. There is nothing outside the territory. The nearest decent supermarket or pharmacy is at least 15 minutes away by car. If you do not have enough of what is available at the hotel or need something, for example, for a child, keep this in mind.
4. Maintenance. Very good, everyone is trying to please you, especially if you have a child. If you read reviews that everyone will forget about you on the weekend due to the arrival of local guests, this is not the case. It's just that there are more guests, and the waiting time for your service increases accordingly.
Overall, I recommend the hotel, especially for families with children. You can stay here for many days and never feel the need to go outside the territory to find something new
I really liked the hotel. Nice room. Clear. When the do not disturb sign was hung up on the 2nd day, they were worried at the reception what had happened. I left the money on the table when cleaning, they didn't take it. Nice beach, the water is mostly clean. A lot of fish, though not colorful. A good buffet. Of course, there is not enough variety, but in general it is very good. I was pleased with the willingness to meet the client. I had half board, and unused dinners due to the tour were quietly postponed to other days, in particular on the day of departure, when the room was already vacated, the luggage was deposited, and we were on the beach until the evening.
It's not a bad hotel visually, the rooms are large and clean, but the service is definitely not 5.
1. there are not enough towels, coming to the beach at 8-9, you can wait until 10.00 until they bring it.
2. Very poor buffet alternation: burnt chicken, poorly cooked fish, minimum beef/lamb
3. the eternal queue for scrambled eggs / scrambled eggs, I do not understand why it is impossible to put a second employee.
4. We left for the whole day several times and asked to make a couple of sandwiches with us...But as it turned out , this is not part of their concept
...and most importantly, read carefully about the location, leaving the territory, be prepared for the fact that there is nowhere to walk at ALL...shacks and emptiness.
The hotel is at the highest level! The staff is polite! The food is insanely delicious! The sea is close! We had a room with a sea view! Cleaning every day. We liked everything. I recommend it!
The service is excellent. The staff is polite and does not ask for anything. The breakfast is delicious and varied. The rest is calm, not for hanging out. The beach is next to the hotel, it seems that the pool flows into the sea)) the room has everything, including an iron. I really liked it. I recommend it, especially for families with children.
A great place, though the only disadvantage is that there is only one good store nearby (lulu is called something like that), if you go outside the hotel you will not find yourself in Dubai and not in beauty, but if you are on the territory of the hotel then it is simply divine, delicious, beautiful, luxurious) top!
!!!RECOMMENDATION!!!
I'm sorry for the mistakes, I didn't try.
The hotel is wonderful in everything! Impeccable service, delicious food, cleanliness! The only drawback is that there is nothing around the hotel, but if you are lovers of outdoor activities, it is better to settle in another emirate
