The Saj Hotel

Today is the last day of rest in this hotel. We rested from December 23 to 29. When purchasing the tour, we didn’t find any information about the hotel; it was like we were driving through Fortuna. The hotel, of course, does not qualify for 4*, it is a three. On the sanmar, from which we were traveling, it was declared as a three. We arrived at the hotel around 15:00, we checked in quickly, room 710 on the 7th floor. The rooms are ordinary, double bed, wardrobe, bedside tables, table with mirror, empty mini bar, shower with toilet. The linen is clean. There is a kettle, cups, glasses, tea, coffee, dry cream, sugar and two bottles of water 0.5. Replenished daily. The bathroom occasionally smelled like sewage. Towels, shower gel, shampoo, soap, everything is provided for one guest, although two people were staying. You ask at the reception, they bring everything, we also asked for an iron, it was provided right away. Although after each cleaning they again left one towel, etc. There is no balcony in the room. Central air conditioning, adjustable. TV with only 6 Arabic channels, no Russian channels. Soundproofing is so-so. On our floor there were rooms for staff, and since they worked both at night and early in the morning, they were constantly making noise, talking loudly, and I woke up several times during the night from their noise. There are no Russian speakers at the reception, only in English, if there is a problem with the language, download a translator, we explained ourselves with the help of it)) The staff is very friendly, ready to fulfill any request. There is a scheduled shuttle to the beach; we were dropped off at 10:00 am and picked up at 1:00 pm or 1:30 pm. They take you to Ramada beach, about 5 km from the hotel. The beach is excellent, free sun loungers, umbrellas, showers, changing cabins. There is a bar where you can buy drinks and even eat. Free WiFi. Beach towels are provided at the hotel reception. You rent it there after returning from the beach. Once the return transfer did not come for us, they explained that the driver had gone with other tourists to Dubai, no one warned us in advance that there would be no transfer, and we didn’t even take money for a taxi with us that day, we walked 5 km to hotel in the heat. We called our guide from Sanmar from the beach to call the hotel and send a car for us, but he didn’t want to do anything, wrote that he didn’t get through, which is very surprising, in the 1.5 hours that we walked to the hotel it was impossible not to get through, on There are always reception staff. At the reception they said that we needed to take a taxi, they would pay for it. So, always take some money with you for a taxi, as there may be surprises with the transfer. The hotel pool is not working and is under renovation. We had breakfast and dinner. The choice is small, but everything is very tasty. On the first day, we had dinner from the menu, since there were few people in the hotel, you choose whatever you want, but everything was prepared with a lot of spices, very spicy, but tasty. Only ice cream for dessert saved me from a fire in my mouth and stomach)). On other days there was a buffet for breakfast and dinner, everything was already adapted to the European table, without spicy food. The menu is varied, there’s not much of everything, but it’s different every day
