"Kempinski Hotel Ajman" - under this name this five-star hotel is also mentioned. And indeed, until October 2017, she was part of the famous Kempinski network line. However, recently this hotel has simply turned into a private hotel “Ajman”. But this does not mean that rest in it has become less chic. On the contrary, the hotel is considered the best in the whole emirate of the same name. Let's find out that tourists who were fortunate enough to visit there are talking about the former Kempinski Hotel in Ajman (UAE).
How to get there
The hotel is located in the emirate of Ajman, on the shores of the Persian Gulf. It is about 20 kilometers from Sharjah. Approximately the same distance from the city of Dubai.
Ajman (Kempinski Hotel) can only be reached by taxi. After all, there is no bus service between this city and other areas of the country. The cheapest thing is to arrange the passage of four people at once.
You can still get on the tourist bus that goes to one of the Ajman hotels. But this does not always work. After all, such buses are most often filled to capacity. But most often, hotel guests book a transfer.
Emirate Ajman
Hotel "Kempinski" is located in this smallest area of the UAE, which only recently began to "unwind" as a resort. Therefore, the traditional nature of the Middle East has remained untouched here - palm trees, desert, beaches with white sand.
This city still bears a touch of provincialism. There are not so many attractions here, although visitors can visit the historical museum, the square watchtower and the local Al Nuami mosque. And near the city there are healing mineral springs.
But this does not mean that Ajman is not at all equipped. Here is one of the most beautiful walking streets in the UAE, which is called Cornish. There is also a public city beach. In the evenings, not only visiting tourists come here, but also wealthy local families.
You can also fully experience the famous Arabian hospitality here. Hotel Ajman (Kempinski) is considered the best hotel in the emirate.
This city will be interesting for Russian travelers because there is not only no “dry law” here, but imported alcoholic beverages are sold in the Hole in the Wall store without any restrictions. The only inconvenience is that they cannot be exported from the territory of the emirate.
What is nearby
In 5-7 minutes walk from the hotel there are many different shops and cafes "Shisha", where you can smoke a hookah, overlooking the sea. Not too far is the pier of the famous dhow boats, which make cruises on the Persian Gulf.
Some tourists argue that due to the location of the Ajman Hotel (Kempinski), Dubai is a long way to go. But the transfer solves a lot of issues.
It’s difficult to ride independently. There are very big traffic jams towards Dubai. In any case, in order to travel outside Ajman, you have to take a taxi.

Sea, beach and pools
Just a hundred meters from the building of the Ajman Hotel (UAE / Ajman) is its own 400-meter sandy beach. There are many types of various water activities.
The distance between the sunbeds is very large, so that you do not have the impression that you are sunbathing in a crowd. Great sense of privacy.
The beach is very beautiful. The entrance to the sea is smooth, the sand is white. Every morning it is cleaned and thoroughly cleaned. You can take as many beach towels as you like, but change them at any time.
But it should be borne in mind that this is an open sea with waves, and not a lagoon. Therefore, there may be storms. And in winter - strong ebbs.
The huge outdoor pool is surrounded by palm trees, creating a dense shadow. Around him are sun loungers and deck chairs. There is a special pool for children. When you sunbathe near an artificial pond, you can hear the birds singing.
There are always free sunbeds - both at sea and by the pool. In winter, the latter, by the way, is heated. Therefore, if the weather is windy, most vacationers go there.
Along the beach line you can walk for a long time, go jogging. Each umbrella has a button to call the waiter, which will bring you an order.
Former Kempinski Hotel (United Arab Emirates / Ajman) Travel Reviews
At the hotel everything is clean, comfortable, chic, but without excessive pomp. Everything is thought out to make it convenient for people, including those who come with small children and strollers.
Kempinski Hotel Ajman is, first of all, beautiful, stylish rooms, excellent cleaning. If something is missing (toothbrushes, adapters for sockets, etc.), then all this will be brought to you at the first request.
If you use the free hotel transfer to the Dubai Mall, then you can visit the aquarium and the underwater zoo. Nearby is one of the most interesting sights of the emirate - "Burj Khalifa".
But mostly tourists come here to relax, relax at sea and sunbathe. The feeling of staying at this hotel among tourists arises as if you are not in the Middle East, but somewhere in Vietnam or in the Dominican Republic.
There is no animation, but most tourists believe that for a beach holiday this is even a big plus.
