The staff deserves a lot of praise. They were always friendly and accommodating. The food was good. The rooms could perhaps use a fresh carpet. There was no European socket in the bathroom, at least the hairdryer could not be used in the bathroom.

What right does the security guards not allow guests to enter the hotel if they enter from the other entrance? All people are guests, first of all! And with this attitude, I strongly do not recommend coming to this hotel. The security does not know how and does not know how to communicate with guests. No respect for men or women here.

What right does the security guards not allow guests to enter the hotel if they enter from the other entrance? All people are guests, first of all! And with this attitude, I strongly do not recommend coming to this hotel. The security does not know how and does not know how to communicate with guests. No respect for men or women here. You come to Dubai, and they follow you like a dog and can't say anything good. No etiquette and subordination. I DON'T RECOMMEND IT. If you want to save your nerves and first of all your time, I do not advise you to stay at this hotel. Thank you. Read less

An excellent hotel with brilliant facilities. The staff were all exceptionally friendly and helpful. Close to the beach with towels and sunshade supplied from hotel poolside. Pool great with sunset views and plenty of shade. Brilliant selection of food in the buffet and pool bar food good too. Gym is well-equipped and everywhere is exceptionally clean. The reception is splendid and smells divine! The concierges were polite and helpful, especially organising local taxis; my son and I felt very safe travelling to and from the hotel. Can wholly recommend. We had a room upgrade and freebies so felt very special! Read less

Great experience! Meal in restaurants, cleanliness, pool, service - we are very satisfied! Russian speaking personnel makes the rest more convenient for Russian tourists. Thematic dinners were also very good! I think that we will back here again. Bilawal - special thanks to you!
