Reviews about Beach Resort By Bin Majid Hotels
Some tourists regretted not ordering the All Inclusive. The hotel is a little out of the way, you need to take a taxi to the restaurants and cafes in the city, and buying lunches and dinners at the hotel is expensive. But many mobile tourists had enough breakfast. Of the excursions offered in the travel agency at the hotel, many recommend a jeep safari. It’s better to go to the shopping malls in Ras Al Khaimah or Dubai yourself: it’s cheaper and you won’t depend on unorganized tourists. Some were slightly disappointed with the sea, which turned out to be not an open water area, but a bay. But many just liked this circumstance - there are no waves, clean sand without jellyfish. Alkoshop is located near the hotel. And for food, many tourists went to the Alhamra Mall, where you can eat.
