Good afternoon, we stayed at the hotel in December before the New Year, the only big disadvantage was waiting for the room from 6 am to 4 pm!! It was very tiring, especially after the overnight flight. And the rest of the rest was wonderful! Everyone is very responsive and friendly! Pool and beach workers Sajid, Shahid,Mahmoud, Abdul, Kayum. Instructor Anastasia conducted excellent classes on the beach. The food in the restaurant is very tasty and varied.All this is thanks to the chef, and as a person he is very attentive and has a sense of humor. Have you always been interested in how things are going, how is the food? And his assistants Mena Nabil and waiter Mahmoud are a very good employee. And the receptionist also helped us, we didn't remember his name, but he's the only one there. Thanks a lot to him! The sea and the beach were warm and clean, there were plenty of sun loungers, and the wonderful people who serve this hotel made our stay wonderful!

I stayed at this hotel in January 2025. This is something!! The beach is white sand and views of Dubai. They are constantly cleaning, the sun beds and tables are clean. The room is just great. A huge comfortable bed, cleaned daily and efficiently. The bathroom has everything from toothpaste and brushes to the most gorgeous body lotion. The staff is very friendly and does their job well. The food is very tasty. I especially liked the fruit smoothies in the cafe on the beach. They mostly speak English, but there are also Russian-speaking staff. There is no animation, but it is not needed here. Half an hour by taxi and you are in the center of Dubai admiring one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Or walking around Sharjah. It's also beautiful and interesting. The cats live in the territory of the good. I recommend taking an all inclusive at this hotel, as everything is included - from a full bar in the room to a 24-hour room service. (it's convenient when you come back late from excursions) of course there is a supermarket nearby, but the prices are high. Just like everywhere else in the emirates in principle. In general, I recommend the hotel and, if possible, I will definitely return again!

My favorite family hotel, I've stayed in it 2 times and each time leaves an unforgettable impression. The rest takes place in it comfortably and calmly, the relaxing atmosphere on the territory of the hotel allows you to really relax.🍃 Great access to the sea, comfortable sun beds, clean territory, you can hear birds singing. The rooms are comfortable, everything is modern, and the shuttle service to several shopping centers (free of charge) is a huge advantage among other hotels, although there are probably no competitors for this hotel. The breakfasts and dinners are very tasty, I was not hungry, I bought cocktails at the bar for a fee. 👍🏻 There is a well-known fast food restaurant nearby within walking distance. The location is convenient, there is a boat station (from it you can drive yourself to Dubai and to the metro as a whole). I will come more than once.

We had a rest in July. We arrived at the hotel at 19:30, immediately checked into a room on the 3rd floor, the Windows overlook the city. There is no noise. In the room: there is a tea set: black and green tea, coffee, cream, sugar, 1.5 liters of water per room. In the bathtub: shampoo and gel in one, conditioner, liquid soap and lotion. After asking about toothbrushes at the reception, within 5 minutes they brought: bathrobes, slippers, toothbrushes with paste, washcloths, a shaving machine and shaving cream. Daily cleaning: our room was cleaned by Enam. I changed the bed linen, towels, added water, tea accessories. It's always clean and unobtrusive when he does it. It was my birthday during my vacation, and it was so nice when we returned to the hotel from the mall in the evening, there was a surprise waiting for me in the room: a cake with candles (even matches were put). Thanks to all the hotel staff. Everyone is friendly and smiling. Nutrition: the breakfasts are more monotonous, but very tasty. The meals are varied every time, every day chicken, beef and fish, in different forms. Lots of salads, soup, various side dishes. Sweets at lunch are also not repeated. (There are no drinks at lunch if you have a power supply system) I will be happy to return to this hotel and recommend it to my friends and acquaintances.

The hotel is located on the first line. 20 meters to the water. I took elevator -1 down from the room, walked past the large pool, and here's the bay. A gorgeous clean sandy beach, sun beds with umbrellas next to the pool or next to the water at your discretion. The water is clear, the bottom is sand, the slope is gentle and well suited for children. The water is a little hot (we were in early July), but it doesn't interfere with the rest. The pool is deep, and there is also a water slide for children. The hotel itself is large and has an air conditioning system. Rooms are cleaned daily. The room itself is large, there is a balcony, about 1/3 of the size of the room. When leaving the room, taking the electronic key with you, the air conditioner is working. The room has a modern TV. There are 6 Russian-language channels. The food is very tasty, it doesn't have as many spices as in Turkey. There is a large selection, not the same as in Turkey, BUT enough for a good breakfast or lunch. There are also plenty of sweets, and they all taste different, and not like in Turkey, they just looked different. In July we had watermelons, melons, oranges, apples. The staff is polite, they always try to help with various questions. The rest in this hotel is simply GORGEOUS!!! A very decent hotel. Be sure to come.

I really liked the hotel. It's 4 stars, though. But the service is just great. I liked everything. The location of the hotel (close to shops, just past McDonald's, who needs it), food, very tasty. Every day. Fish, chicken and beef. Beef is just a bomb. It melts in my mouth. They cook well, they're just handsome. Topchik beach. The only negative is that we were in August and the water in the sea is 34. Well, I just didn't cool it. My daughter didn't want to swim there. We hung out in the pool and swam in the sea in the morning until it was too hot. There is a slide. One, but it's enough to drive, dive. We took a room with a view of the beach. I'm attaching a photo. Nicely. The sunsets were watched directly from the balcony. The gym is not bad. Chest and shoulder trainer. Back trainer (upper deadlift). Leg flexion and extension simulator. Dumbbells, barbells. The staff is excellent. The room was well cleaned. The cleaners Sohel and Tapas are great. The pastels and towels were changed during the day. In general, I will definitely return to the hotel. I recommend the hotel. By the way, this is the second hotel of the Barcelo chain in which I am vacationing. And I recommend this hotel chain too.

I had a vacation in May 2025. A good hotel on the first line with its own beach, justifies its 4 stars. Spacious room with excellent sea view. There is a refrigerator, a TV with several Russian channels, a hairdryer, a kettle, dental and sewing kits, slippers, and a bathrobe. Soap, gel, shampoo, conditioner, body lotion in large containers. Beach towels can even be changed several times a day. Cleaning is done every day, but not 100% cleaning (by men). Replenishment every day: tea and coffee (2 types), sugar, cream, 1.5 l bottle of water. There were plenty of sun beds. The pool is small, there is a small slide. There was no animation or entertainment. The main restaurant serves delicious food, a large selection of dishes, lots of vegetables, desserts. The only fruits were oranges, watermelons, and melons. The staff is Russian-speaking. There is essentially no territory, just a swimming pool. And there's nowhere to actually walk around the hotel either. There are two supermarkets nearby. There are free transfers from the hotel to shopping malls in Sharjah and Dubai. There are a lot of Russians in the hotel.

We chose this hotel based on the recommendation of the tour operator. Everything is in order. 1) We flew with air arabia, a regular flight. In both directions without delay. Service is available for an additional fee. 2) Check-in at the hotel from 15.00. We were checked in at 13:30. We were not allowed breakfast. There was lunch. But the staff misinformed us, so we had lunch outside the hotel. By the way, we had a missed lunch rescheduled for the last day. So we haven't lost anything. 3) The food at the hotel is good, quite varied. On day 7, of course, you want something different, you have time to try everything. But in general, there is always something to choose. We had full board. You have to pay for drinks at lunches and dinners, but the child was allowed to take water and juice with him for free. Half board was enough for adults. There is no need to purchase full meals in my opinion. 4) The beach is great. The hotel has its own one. White sand, smooth entrance. It's perfect for kids. 5) The staff is very responsive, all problems were solved quickly and without problems. Room cleaning is daily. 6) The territory of the hotel is small, but well maintained. There are 2 swimming pools on site. One adult, the other child. And there's a hot tub outside. 7) Animation is sluggish. But we were ready for it. 8) Our room had a sea view. Cool view (seen in the photo). The room is spacious. Everything was working. We were satisfied. I recommend the hotel to visit. Since the end of September. It used to be very hot.

The staff speaks Russian, English is very clear, not broken. Everyone understands, the food is varied and very tasty, there is a transfer bus to the Dubai Mall and to the Sharjah Shopping Center. The center of Dubai is 15 km away by taxi, it is best to use the Sahara Shopping Center to cross to Dubai (because the price of a taxi will be much less than from the hotel to go). The territory of the hotel is very well maintained, the sea was +36 g in July, the temperature is +42, there is a swimming pool on site and its own beach, the local cats are very funny (I am allergic to cats, I have never taken a pill). In general, I really liked it, but it would be possible to make some kind of entertainment program, those who love "Seal holidays will go," I'm in favor of active recreation. The rooms are nice, they are cleaned every day, the air conditioning works as it should. Well, the funniest thing about this hotel is the translation of the names of the Dishes

The hotel is good, excellent service, towels are changed every day, cleaning is done every day, there is a kettle and tea/coffee in the room. 1.5 liter bottle of water every day at full board. It is enough for two people not to buy extra water. The food is delicious, there is always meat and fish, watermelon. The beach is spacious, clean, soft white sand, comfortable sun beds and good towels. It hides its head only near the buoys, a fairly large strip from the shore is quite shallow, it is very convenient for children. The staff is lovely and friendly. What I didn't like. Sleeping with an open balcony is not always possible! On the 4th floor, all the balconies at the top are interconnected. People bring alcohol with them and hang out on balconies, as a result, it is impossible to sleep with an open balcony. Cigarette smoke from other balconies drags onto the balcony, plus constant animated speech from all sides. The first couple of times I complained, then I realized that this was a problem precisely because of the design feature. I've never encountered this before in other hotels. For those who need to sleep without a conditioner, keep in mind.

We stayed at this hotel in September-October 2025. The hotel is excellent, the rooms are spacious, and the staff is always happy to help if you have any questions. There is a Russian-speaking girl at the reception, very nice and helpful. The beach at the hotel is clean, there are plenty of sun beds. The pool has several levels of depth, which is marked and signed along the length of the pool. There is a children's slide, which is also a plus. The animators, 2 girls, conduct programs for both children (disco and watching cartoons) and adults (darts, stretching on the beach). The food is good, there are always fruits, juices, porridges, pastries, a cook stands alone and prepares 3 types of omelets and scrambled eggs, no one remains hungry. We will be happy to return to the hotel, so we advise everyone 👍

A great place to relax. If you are picky, you can find a couple of inconveniences, but this is rare, especially since the staff will immediately go to your meeting and help you with what they can. Tourists from all over the world come here, especially a large number of Russian-speaking people stay here. The character has managed to learn Russian in several years of work, so there are no problems with communication) There are many interactive activities for a good time, for example: a water slide, gym, massage, clean and large beach, deep pool, Jacuzzi, shops, billiards, boating. The buffet is very large, there is a themed dinner every day, and a wide range of dishes, from snacks to desserts. The hotel is clean, the rooms are cleaned every day with a change of towels, drinking water, making beds and mopping the floor. The staff at this place is the friendliest and most tactful, they get along with children, arrange pleasant surprises for birthday parties. This hotel is the best place to stay in Sharjah. I come here almost every year with my family, and we spend your holidays here with great pleasure. Even if you want to spend time outside the hotel, you will be ordered a taxi and offered a free check-in for a two-way transfer to the Dubai Mall. I recommend a visit to everyone. Thank you to Occidental Sharjah Grand Hotel for giving people good emotions and a wonderful comfortable stay!<3

Good location. The beach and the sea at the exit. The sea is gorgeous. The beach is sandy and clean. We had a rest from October 7 to October 20. The sea was very warm, there were storms, but it didn't upset us. The food in the restaurant is delicious, but I would like more seafood. There is no tea or coffee during lunch and dinner. It would be very nice if they appeared. The cleaning is very good, daily. Towels are changed every day, they are snow-white! Bed linen is changed very often. And apparently the ventilation system is not working well, because the clothes in the closet got wet, and I had to dry them on the balcony. Thanks a lot to the staff, they are all so helpful!

A very nice and comfortable hotel, I've been living here for 10 days now and there are still as many left, of the small disadvantages, you need to take some water from the room for lunch and dinner, well, you get used to it quickly, the sea is wonderful in August, not hot as they scared me, the beach is gorgeous, there are always places like on the beach and at the pool, the main thing is not to be a redneck and not to occupy a sunbed in the morning for the whole day, then there is always a place for everyone.The receptionists are very polite and always try to help you at any request, the rooms are very clean, but nevertheless they are cleaned every day to make it even cleaner,the linen is also changed every cleaning,everything is delicious and you can always find what you like,hungry never left the restaurant

Hotel location, beach, swimming pool, Jacuzzi for 5 people. Very nice beach towels and bed linen with towels in the room. The food in the restaurant for a 4* 4+ hotel, there is always something to choose. Rooms are cleaned every day. The waiters in the restaurant are very helpful, the tables are cleaned casually. There was one disadvantage of our arrival: upon check-in, we got room 549 with an unpleasant smell, we were asked to relocate, they said that the hotel was overcrowded, there were no empty rooms, after 7 days they found cockroaches in their room, complained to the reception and we were immediately moved to another floor.

We had a rest from 08/16/25, the hotel is generally good, the food is delicious, there is enough of everything. Room service is provided daily, and a bottle of water is provided every day. The numbers are outdated and need to be updated. The sea and the beach are great. There is a free shuttle service to local hypermarkets every day, and the Dubai Mall also has a free shuttle service, but we couldn't sign up for it, there are always no seats, but in fact, when the bus arrives and if there is an empty seat, you can leave without an appointment. On the plus side, we checked in at about 15:00, thanks for that.

Vacation at the hotel from 16.06. to 26.06. Of the advantages: 1. The hotel has a maximum load of 50% due to the off-season (the average air temperature is 39 ° C) and, accordingly, there was no need to look for free sun beds with umbrellas and there are relatively few people in the restaurant, the tables are quickly vacated. 2. Room cleaning and service correspond to the declared 4* star, the staff is polite, responsive, responds quickly to requests and questions. And we are talking about all services - reception, restaurant, swimming pool, housekeeping. 3. Nutrition is no frills, you can always find food from the dishes offered. There are 4-5 types of desserts, mostly cakes. Fruits include watermelon, melon, apples and oranges. There are always 4-5 types of salad, different appetizers. The meat is mainly beef and chicken, the fish is only from white varieties, but every day in different variations. The children's table is scarce, but we didn't need it. By the way, the hotel is "alcohol-free", drinks from tea to smoothies. When staying, Everything is included, almost all drinks from the menu are free (I have attached a card in the photo). 4. The beach is clean, sandy with small shells, the entrance to the sea is smooth, the water is clear. Of the cons: 1. The depth of the pool is from 2.50m to 1.40m, there are always a lot of people on the 1.40 patch, it is not comfortable to be there, but if you are with a child, then there is no choice. 2. On Friday and Saturday, a group of adults/ children of 20-25 people gathers at the pool. This local population comes on vacation, they call this event a weekend. I would call it a bacchanal!!! There are screams all day at the pool, Arabic music, cigarettes of all kinds, there is nothing to breathe, because all adults smoke and do not stop. They also have their own food and drinks, and children often throw food around. They don't know how to behave in the water at all, it may seem that this is their personal pool. The only way out is to go to the beach for the whole day. I dare say that in the high season of November-May, these weekends are not relevant, there are simply no places in the hotel))) 3. There is practically no children's animation, and even adult animation. At 11:00 water aerobics on the beach in the sea, at 17:00 darts on the pool, at 20:00 a children's disco, at 20:30 a children's film session, but exclusively in English without subtitles. I would like to mention Nargiza and Kristina positively, they will always help and answer questions. To summarize: everything is quite decent for 4*, especially out of season. In terms of nutrition, don't expect Turkish fancy tables and themed seafood days. There is no animation, get ready to have fun on your own.

Greetings to all. We arrived at Dubai Airport at 9 a.m. We had a group transfer arranged from our tour operator Fan San. It was a minivan for 6 people. They put the two of us and two other women in another hotel. The journey time to the Occidental Hotel was about 30 minutes with minor traffic jams. The hotel is 4 stars. We were met at the reception by the Russian-speaking staff. They began to take shape. Check-in time is from 15:00. We are not being checked in, we have to wait for the room to be available. We had booked a Deluxe room with a sea view. We decided to pass the waiting time at sea. After changing our clothes, we went to the sea to sunbathe and swim. Plastic cards are issued for beach towels, and you change them at the entrance to the pool and the sea. There are free umbrellas and sun beds on the beach. Everyone had enough. On the day of our arrival, there was a big wave - two red flags. No one was allowed into the sea. Everyone was sitting in the pool. On nutrition. We had half board. The choice of food was small, minimal. But they weren't hungry. For breakfast there were porridges, sausages, omelets, various yogurts. You can order scrambled eggs - the cook will cook in your presence. It seemed to us that the lunches and dinners were very similar. There was always meat, chicken, fish in various sauces. Very tasty. There were grilled and boiled vegetables. There were salads and vegetable cuts. Of the fruits, we liked watermelons the most. The choice of desserts is small. Who took half board and board - drinks are free only at breakfast. You have to buy even water for lunch and dinner. We didn't have enough water. There is not much in the room - one 1.5 l bottle for two people. I had to negotiate with the staff or go to the nearest Copins store.

The pool is great too! The water is slightly cooler than the sea. It's nice to plunge into the heat. There are also plenty of sun beds with umbrellas. There is a slide, next to the Jacuzzi. A bar with delicious cocktails and various drinks. In general, we will definitely come back here!!!

Sooooooo cool sea!!!! One of the best. Maldives doesn't count 🤪 clear water. The purest. Minimal waves. "Open" water. The coastline in Sharjah is not very large. It looks like this hotel has the biggest beach. There are always sun beds. The peak hour is from 9:30 to 12. The swimming area is large!!! Looking at other hotels nearby, our island is allowed for swimming 3-4 times more. The hotel's contingent is mostly retired. Everyone speaks Russian. There are free buses to Dubai‼️by appointment in the app. There is a children's animation. It's quiet and peaceful at night 🙏🏻 Food: nothing supernatural. You won't leave hungry. Tea/coffee for breakfast only. In other receptions, only water. Either everything is included - there are always drinks. There is no alcohol in the emirate. Upon arrival: toothbrushes, razor, comb. 1.5liters of water per room every day. Dolphins were seen right by the buoys one day 😍

The food is very tasty and varied, there are different types of cuisines. Also, sometimes the days of certain countries pass, and then the main diet of the country whose day it is. The only disadvantage is that drinks are free only for breakfast, at other times you will have to spend 10-20 dirhams per drink. We ate breakfast + dinner, I highly recommend this combination, because food in Dubai is relatively expensive, and lunch at the hotel will sometimes be superfluous, and we often had lunch with fruits, which, by the way, are very tasty and sweet there. The hotel has a very pleasant staff, many speak Russian. And those who don't speak will still understand what you're trying to convey to them. The rooms are clean, cleaned daily. The air conditioner also works, so it won't be hot. Near the beach, on the 1st floor there is a shop / cafe, where you can buy drinks, ice cream, soft cocktails. There are small grocery stores near the hotel, as well as a large hypermarket within 10 minutes, and of course your favorite mac. The beach is beautiful, sandy, clean. I really liked the fact that the sun beds are free and each guest is given a towel for this sunbed. It's also a very nice pool. In total, my overall score is 10/10. I advise you to stay while visiting Dubai!

We stayed at the Sharjah Grand Hotel twice - in March 2013 and in November 2015. Spring and autumn are the most pleasant months to stay in the UAE. In our opinion, everything in this hotel is excellent: the location, the service, the condition of the rooms, the housekeeping, the food in the restaurant, and the attitude of the staff, all very polite. There are Russian-speaking managers at the reception, as there are many tourists from Russia. We always took a room with a sea view. The small slide by the pool was turned on several times a day. The children really enjoyed it, and the adults enjoyed riding down the hill. Meals used to be either breakfast or half board. The restaurant on the beach is also very tasty. A free shuttle service runs to Dubai Mall. The hotel is a solid 4*. A quiet hotel. Sharjah is chosen by those who want to get a great beach and cultural holiday at prices lower than in Dubai, as well as those who like peace and quiet. And we love peace and quiet. It should also be taken into account that Sharjah is an emirate with the strictest mores. Alcohol consumption is strictly prohibited here. Even bringing alcohol into the territory of the emirate is severely punished, up to and including expulsion from the country without the possibility of return. There is alcohol in Dubai. There you can drink whatever your heart desires in the cafe and restaurant. We have vacationed in the UAE 5 times and always chose Sharjah. By the way, not far from the hotel, there is a fairly large aquarium and museum within walking distance. 👍👍👍

Good afternoon, everyone. We are staying at this hotel for the 6th day. The hotel is very clean, nothing superfluous, everything is concise. We arrived at about eight in the morning and were checked in at 12:00. Meals were taken three times a day. In the morning, drinks are included in lunch and dinner is not, but it is not necessary. Watermelons and melons cover the drinks every day. Special thanks to the chef of the restaurant. The food is very tasty and quite varied. The staff is very helpful. The territory is not large. They write about the fact that there are not enough sun beds. There were free sun beds all the time, there is a moment that tourists run to occupy in the morning, but still there were enough sun beds. Although it felt like the hotel was fully occupied. We went shopping daily by taxi from the hotel. The prices are almost the same as in city taxis, maybe a couple dirhams more expensive. We went shopping in the Sharjah city center (we mostly bought gifts at a nearby store) and found nothing special for ourselves (a one-way trip of about 20 dirhams), Mega Mall (we didn't really like it), al zahia (a one-way trip of 35-40 dirhams, but at the same time I really liked the store both externally and in content. I advise you there are brands and networkers here, and of course my favorite perfume store is Sephora). There is a grocery and souvenir shop across the street from the hotel (products at a good price are not overpriced). We went to the aquarium nearby, nothing special, but the price is reasonable (25 dirhams per adult). We went to the Dubai Mall, of course, there is everything there. (the trip cost 100 dirhams one way). Of course, there is also a transfer from the hotel, but you need to register clearly on the day of arrival, otherwise you will not get there. The only disadvantage of the hotel is the swimming pool, which is one and a half meters on one side and then up to two and a half meters. All the children are where it's shallow, plus there's a slide and a constant crowd of people. Splashes in all directions. For those who don't really like depth, probably not very much. Yes, the weather! July is a bit hot at about 40 degrees, you can't walk down the street for a long time. The sea is warm before lunch, and after it is already very warm, a cool pool saves you. There are practically no people on the beach from 12 to 15:00. There are big blue jellyfish in the bay. I've seen them twice. I don't know how dangerous they are. Rooms are cleaned daily.(clean and cozy). I will be glad if this review helps someone to make a choice. Thanks to the hotel, I enjoyed my stay.

There are 2 restaurants in this hotel, one of them has a delicious buffet, and every day there is some variety in food on different topics. The service is excellent, I really liked the waiter (unfortunately I did not recognize the name) he always smiled, I wanted to talk to him, a very positive person. The beach is very nice, clean, smooth entry into the water, and I was also very impressed by the beach lifeguard, who always looked after people if they swam behind the buoys, whistled when there was a storm, did not let them into the water, taking care of the vacationers. The rooms are very nice, there is a balcony overlooking the sea, very nice and kind room cleaner. Russians Russian-speaking staff were few when I visited last year, but this year there are a lot of Russian-speaking staff. The hotel has activities for adults and children: aqua aerobics is held for adults and children at 11:30, a darts game for a prize is held at 17:00, at 17:30 at the beach with a very good animator. The hotel is top notch! Obviously 5⭐️

We're sitting at breakfast right now, and a lady comes up and asks us to leave a review. We couldn't refuse because the hotel is really good. The buffet here is probably the best in all of Sharjah, the first line with sifted sand on the beach, 15 minutes to the boats to Dubai. The rooms are new and clean. Perfect for a beach holiday! I recommend

The hotel is located on the first coastline. The room was booked with a view of the city, and without asking for additional charges, it was changed to a room with a view of the sea. Fresh, varied and delicious food. The rooms are clean and spacious. Very friendly staff. There is animation for children. The beach is clean, cleaned every morning and evening, and the sun beds are washed. There are plenty of sun beds and umbrellas, enough for everyone. There is a large swimming pool and a slide. There is a Jacuzzi with hot water. They weren't used in the heat. There are all conditions for a relaxing family holiday. The staff responds quickly to all requests. Thank you to all the staff for a comfortable stay!!!

The hotel is very conveniently located, close to shopping malls and cultural facilities. Friendly staff, daily high-quality cleaning. We settled in earlier than the agreed time, which was a very pleasant moment. Upon arrival, we were treated to a refreshing drink and offered a cooling towel. The best thing was the sea and the beach. There is a wonderful sea here, always clean water, no algae or wildlife, a smooth transition to the depths. The food is normal, it will be enough for the non-picky (we are talking about breakfast). Delicious coffee and pastries.
