I
purchased
a
voucher
from
COBON,
believing
I
got
a
good
deal,
but
Hotel
charged
me
20%
tax
over
the
purchase
price
in
a
tax-free
country.
I
have
lived
in
UAE
for
five
years
and
have
stayed
in
countless
hotels
in
Dubai,
Abu
Dhabi,
RAK,
Fujairah,
Sharjah,
Khor
Fakkan,
etc.,
but
have
never
been
charged
20%
tax.
Additionally,
I
paid
a
surcharge
for
a
weekend
stay
while
most
of
the
resort
rooms
were
vacant.
As
per
my
experience,
the
surcharge
is
applicable
only
when
a
hotel
or
resort
is
fully
occupied.
The
resort
is
surrounded
by
slums
and
not
suitable
for
a
walk.
The
beach
was
full
of
smell,
vegetation,
fungi,
and
microorganisms,
so
it's
not
safe
for
swimming
but
only
suitable
for
fishing
and
crab
hunting.
The
rooms
were
big
enough
but
not
clean
and
smelly.
The
swimming
pool
was
not
clean
and
was
built
in
an
ancient
style,
so
no
fresh
water
flowed.
The
breakfast
was
okay,
but
there
were
minimal
options.
Even
while
searching
nearby,
I
couldn't
find
a
single
fine
dining
restaurant.
