Of the advantages, only the beach, very average food and the territory. The rooms are so tired that it's just not pleasant to be in them. Like a camera. Old-fashioned, out of repair, very gloomy. The Russian-speaking staff is just rude. The child was expected to check in for more than 4 hours. 20 rooms were occupied, and with the baby - the last. Tourists are mostly Russian-speaking, elderly people and families with children. It is very similar to Sochi in the 70s. Such a good chain is just a dead hotel. Longing for a lot of money. And the advertising is done professionally. I do not recommend it.

We took everything included:the food is good, the bar was replenished steadily, ice cream, smoothies, drinks without restrictions, you can have a snack at the bar. Supper beach. Rested👍

We had a vacation with my mom in January. The food was delicious, a little monotonous, but it suited me. The hotel has a Russian-speaking staff, they will always help if you have any questions. The beach is clean, white sand, the sea is also clean. However, we swam a little, because almost all the days there were strong waves:(The rooms are spacious, the sea views are very beautiful, it's worth it. The rooms are cleaned well, they will always bring you if you need something. The area is quite clean. The pool and jacuzzi are super. There are free transfers to different shopping centers. The atmosphere is calm. The hotel is more for those who like a relaxing holiday. In general, the hotel is good, I advise you.

The hotel is well located, it is the first line, and the sea, and shops with everything you need nearby. From the window we had a beautiful view of the city. In January, the sea is cool, and here there is a pool with heated water. The room service is excellent, clean everywhere, cleaning and linen change daily, the staff is polite and smiling, if they spoke a little more Russian, it would be very good. And then one girl at the reception (not every day) and one employee at the table with excursions is not enough. But everyone tries to understand and help if necessary.
The beach is constantly cleaned, the safety of the headless is sometimes monitored :) tourists are not allowed to go far if there are strong waves.
The food is delicious, the cuisine is universal, it resembles different peoples, although it seemed to me that salads and meat dishes could be offered more diverse. And the desserts are delicious!

By the way, the gold store is on the 1st floor, the prices are much lower than in the terrible market in Dubai and Sharjah.

The main advantage of this hotel is a beautiful beach. Gorgeous views, white sand, smooth entry into the water. There is no territory at the hotel, there is a good heated swimming pool. Initially, they moved into a room on the 2nd floor and this is a complete failure. The old bathroom, from which the water does not leave when washing, is mildewed, damp and uncomfortable. Later, we managed to achieve relocation to the 4th floor, which is a completely different matter. The rooms are fresh, after restoration. the shower cabin, sinks, the room itself - everything is fine. Cozy and fresh. They are cleaned well, towels and bed linen are white, not washed. The diet is very monotonous and as if cooked in a hurry, everything is digested and dried. We definitely did not enjoy the food, it feels like the hotel is saving on food. In the hall where meals are held, it is not cozy, as in the dining room, you want to eat faster and leave.
The staff is generally friendly.
There is no desire to go the second time.

Fruits of 3 types: melons, watermelon, orange. There is a lot of baking. The room is large, and there was also a present in the room))) the cleaning is excellent. Tea, coffee, sugar, cream and water are put on daily) there is a kettle, 2 glasses, 2 mugs. This year, terry bathrobes, toothbrushes with paste, a shaving machine, cream, a washcloth (one for some reason).There is always body lotion, liquid soap, shampoo and conditioner, cotton swabs in the bathroom). There are not enough sunbeds on the beach in the season, in the morning at 6:30 there is a queue, people are running to take seats!! the first year is like this! Towels can lie for half a day, but there are no people. Or when they leave, they leave their things to lie down until the evening ((( someone will work out sun beds by the pool and on the beach. I don't understand such people!!!

There were two times. The rooms were taken with a view of the sea, the sound of the surf is simply amazing, 50m from the hotel and you are already in the water. The rest leaves much to be desired, the rooms are quite old, especially the bathrooms. According to nutrition, 3-4 points, there has always been little fruit, it is monotonous, but in principle you will not stay hungry.
The third time we rested in the Emirate of Fujairah, I liked it more, I recommend the hotel Le meridien hotel spa5*, all rooms are on the sea, the territory is green, the coastline is 1.5-3km. Gorgeous! But from the airport it is 2h20, but the transfer is prompt, fast and almost VIP, depending on when the check-in was in early May

We are currently resting at this hotel. Of course, the hotel is not bad, but it is clearly not a foursome. There are no questions about food and cleanliness.
But the room stock is already old enough. The bathroom has bad plumbing (old), rust is falling, furniture, especially on the balcony is old, garbage is constantly pouring out of it. Mattresses and pillows are very uncomfortable, especially for people with a bad back. By the way, clothes dryers are not provided on the balcony, so who cares what, they were dried mainly on rods, which are intended as protection from birds. We live on the 2nd floor. Perhaps the rooms above have already been renovated.
Well, here's another bonus, for the second evening in a row, after 21:00 there are some classes in the pool for children, and yesterday there were competitions. And they ended only at the beginning of 12 pm. It was such a pleasure when I came to rest. Constant shouting and whistling. In general, the third three to the hotel. Of the vacationers: the elderly and families with children. There is no entertainment here. I got the feeling Egypt 4* is only very expensive😂 we definitely won't go a second time.
I want to add a few days later: the children's classes in the pool after 21h turned out to be a constant practice, the parents were at this hotel in February, it was every day. So it's better to either take a room with a view of the city, or choose another hotel

We stayed at this hotel from 06/04/2024 to 06/11/2024 (two families with children 11 years old).Reading the negative reviews, we were very worried, but in fact the hotel is great!We arrived at about 11.30 am, we were immediately checked in. Many thanks to manager Narek for putting us in a nice room with access to the pool. The rooms are large, clean, cleaned every day, and water, tea, and coffee are replenished daily.
The beach is gorgeous, wide, there are always enough free sunbeds. The bay is warm (we were scared that it would be hot at this time). There is a cooled pool with a slide that worked constantly, not according to schedule as in some countries. The children really liked the pool).
We took breakfast and dinner. Power is also on solid 5. Special thanks to the chef. In the first days of our vacation, he went out to the gym every day and personally checked everything, then disappeared somewhere) Breakfast is always porridge, scrambled eggs for every taste, natural juice and many other delicious dishes. We often replaced dinner with lunch, because in the evening we went for a walk. Drinks are not included at lunches and dinners, but we knew this in advance. There is always a children's menu (simple pasta without sauce, boiled potatoes, vegetables). Watermelons, melons, oranges are always made of fruits. Several times there was a chocolate fountain (melons in chocolate are very tasty), popcorn. In general, you can always find food for every taste!
Special thanks to all the staff, really always with a smile and a positive attitude, any issue was resolved instantly.
The only drawback is the transfer to the Dubai Mall. We haven't been able to sign up once. But in any case, we went to Dubai at a convenient time for us, adjusting to no one. We did not use transfers to Sharjah, I cannot say about them. To the center of Sharjah (where the fountains are) a taxi cost 15 derham, if you catch it on the street, it's a little more expensive from the hotel. There are a lot of taxis, there are no problems with this, always on the counter.
The tour was taken once for a sightseeing tour of Dubai from Nargiz on the 1st floor (the cost was the same as on the Sputnik8 website, for example). If possible, it is better to take individual excursions so as not to wait for anyone. With other excursions, we did so in the future.
We really liked the hotel and the rest in general, we will definitely return to the UAE and Sharjah in particular. I will definitely recommend this hotel to my friends.

I stayed at this hotel in July 2024
Positive:
1. Polite employees. I didn't come across any boorishness or even a hint of such a thing. Everyone was emphatically polite.
2. I was checked in at 11 a.m., although they officially check in from 15:00.
3. The food was good for my taste. It was quite varied and tasty. The working time was also optimal. But without any frills.
4. Location. During the transfers for excursions and to/from the airport, I was in the most advantageous position. They were picked up last, and dropped off first.
5. Proximity to the sea. You need to literally go down to the 1st floor, walk 50 meters and you are already on the boat.
6. An empty beach. I always found a place on the sunbed in the shade.
7. A good room. I got a corner room with a huge balcony and a beautiful view of the sea. The room had everything you needed.
Cons:
1. Doors with poor sound insulation. The walls themselves are thick enough, but through the doors you could hear everything when you were walking down the corridor. I had a door to the next room in my room (apparently they do this for families), so I could hear everything perfectly when they were just talking. Fortunately, they were quiet.
2. Garbage that sailed from the sea in the form of empty plastic buds, some pieces of wood and other plastic. This happened regularly and noticeably. So much so that during the lunch break, the beach was littered with a thin strip of garbage near the sea and the staff had to clean it up.
3. For some reason, it was at our hotel that organisms on jet skis liked to hang out in the evenings. One of the rental locations was right on our beach. Instead of the sound of waves and the smell of the sea, you could enjoy the sounds and smells of the exhaust of these organisms for more than an hour.
P 2 and 3 are outside the formal area of responsibility of the hotel, but it is quite possible to somehow negotiate with the authorities or rental points
In general, I liked my stay at this hotel, but there is something to work on.

Wonderful beach hotel in the Emirate of Sharjah. Conveniently located right on the first coastline, excellent service, good breakfasts. A well-organized beach holiday - a lot of high-quality sunbeds, umbrellas from the sun, thorough cleaning of the beach. An excellent heated pool and Jacuzzi are convenient in the cold season, there is a large water slide for children. From the hotel there are free transfers to several shopping malls in Sharjah, as well as to the Dubai Mall. Recording via the hotel app. There is an Oceanarium and several quite decent restaurants within walking distance. To the fish market 30 minutes on foot or 20 dirhams by taxi. In general, I liked everything. The only real drawback of the hotel is the presence of a cargo port and an oil complex 2 km away from it. But the water was clean, there were no smells. In terms of price-quality ratio, undoubtedly one of the best beach hotels in Sharjah. Lifehack - if you don't want noise, then be sure to take a room with a sea view - it's beautiful!

The restaurant is always clean, the waiters work well together. The beach is excellent, clean, well maintained,. The sea is a fairy tale! Warm water, fine sand. Super! The pool is not big, but there was enough space for everyone, no one crowded. it was a good entertainment slide, we rode in the water. The room was on the 4th floor 425 city view.in the morning, coffee on the Balcony is cool.. During the day, we dried the linen, in the evening we enjoyed the beauty of the city, bed linen was changed often, towels should be thrown on the floor to be changed. Tea, coffee, and water were replenished every day, even with excess.. But the cleaning is lame.. The balcony was never cleaned, the floor was sticky, they walked in slippers.. Construction is underway this year, I hope next year we will visit this hotel.

I will begin my story in order. I say right away, it will be long. We arrived at the hotel from 05/26/2024 to 06/3/2024 in room 233.
We arrived at the hotel at 9 a.m., two adults and a child of 8 years old. At the reception we were told that there are no available rooms, of course, because check-in takes place at 15.00. We decided to go to the beach. This is not the first time in this hotel, so we prepared before departure, put beach things closer. There was no limit to happiness when after 20 minutes they came up to us and offered to check in, for this the fattest "+" to this hotel, but ... there is always but, we had 3 meals a day paid, the guy from the reception said that today we are supposed to, REMEMBER!, either lunch or dinner. This alerted us, we came up to clarify once again, said that we had breakfast-lunch-dinner meals, to which he once again said that we were supposed to have either lunch or dinner on the day of arrival!We were checked in early, it was time to go to the store (it's across the street, 3 min walk, near a pharmacy) and buy something for lunch, since we decided to go to a restaurant for dinner).
The room stock, basically, is not new rooms, slightly tired, if we talk about the room, it is quite on its 4 pulls, but the bathroom urgently needs repair. There are a lot of black spots on the seams between the tiles and on the sealant. After taking a shower, I went out into a huge puddle on the floor... I found a hole in the sealant between the bathroom itself and the glass partition, into which all the water from the watering can flowed down the bathtub to the floor, besides the watering can itself was leaking. BUT, and this is again a "+", after contacting the reception, the shower head was replaced within an hour.
Now let's move on to equipping the room, we had a reservation for 2 adults and a child of 8 years old. If only for one extra bed for a child, I would go to this hotel. A normal full-fledged bed for an adult. There were all the accessories for 2 people, and there were no slippers at all, but we quickly ordered 3 pairs of slippers, 1 more set of towels and 1 more tea pair for the child through the application. Depending on the shift, we were replenished with a tea table for 2 or 3 people, mostly for 2, although it was clear that 3 people lived. Water is replenished every day (1 bottle of 0.5 liters per person per day). In conditions of heat +35, this is catastrophically small, but the benefit is a supermarket nearby and the price of water for 1.5 liters is 2.5 dirhams.
Cleaning is done every day, towels are changed every day. But one small nuance, the floor on the huge balcony is not washed at all, and therefore, when you return to the room after the balcony, it becomes dirty. The floors in the room are washed every day, I almost always watched the cleaning in my room, it just so happened🤷🏼♀️
Basically, on the first day we eliminated all the shortcomings of the room and then had a quiet rest. Because we came to rest, and not, like some, to be constantly dissatisfied with even the smallest detail.
Sun beds on the beach (I'm talking about those under a fairly large wooden canopy, let's say the most "top" places) as in a good Turkish hotel, they are already busy at 6.30, but we almost always arrived at 8 and could take sun beds under small umbrellas. I don't know if it's true or not, but the guests say that for a certain fee to the beach staff, they can be asked to take the "top" places🤔 It's a pure lie (I read somewhere that they clean) that employees clean towels if they see that guests are gone for a long time, no one is watching this. There were a couple of days when we spent the whole day on the beach, and those very towels on the "top" places lay all day, but no one came, they are called neither themselves nor people, in a word pigs🤷🏼♀️ This is a fat minus, rather than for the hotel, but for the low education of vacationers (they are not cunning, but just wild).
The territory of the hotel is small, clean, 1 large and 1 children's pools, as well as a Jacuzzi. There is a slide. Russians are more at sea, foreigners are by the pool.
70-75 percent of the vacationers are Russian. The staff speaks Russian well enough (given that they are not native speakers).
For the management who reads the reviews, just a huge thank you and a low bow to the young man from the reception, whose name is Samith, when I saw him at the workplace, I knew for sure that either I would have no problems at all that day, or if they appeared, he would solve them all. He is as loyal to customers as possible, he will always find a way out of the situation, he will always help. If possible, give him a bonus!
Information for Russian tourists, look for the name Samith on the badge, it will solve all your problems!
The restaurant is always greeted with a smile. The dishes are maximally adapted to Russians, there are always 3-4 types of meat and fish, 7-8 varieties of desserts, steamed dishes in the middle of the hall behind the aquarium. The most important thing is that there is always something to feed any child. In the morning, there is always tea/coffee, juices and always freshly squeezed orange juice. For lunch and dinner, all drinks are paid, an average of 20 dirhams per glass.
If you've noticed, there's always a BUT…
Dinner until 22.00, that's what I mean, there are wild traffic jams from Dubai to Sharjah, from 1.5 to 2.5 hours.
We went on excursions and once we didn't get to dinner at all, we arrived at 22.35, the second time we flew in with a bullet at 21.57 (the main thing is to run before 22, then dinner will be), and the third time, by the way, we arrived by hotel shuttle from Dubai Mall, we ran at 21.40.
Dear management, there are many of us, make dinner before 23.00, or at least until 22.30
The hotel has a souvenir shop on the 1st floor, I must say the prices were pleasantly surprised, quite adequate👍🏻
If you read the review carefully at the beginning, then I specifically focused on nutrition on the first day, we were allowed to eat only 1 time. The day before departure, I decided to clarify, on the day of departure, we are supposed to have breakfast and lunch, because on the first day we ate 1 meal, and we have 3 meals a day. In general, it turned out that on the day of arrival we were supposed to have lunch and dinner, and on the day of departure only breakfast. If we had gone to a restaurant twice on the first day, I wouldn't even have any unnecessary questions, on the day of departure I would have claimed only breakfast, I can count. On the first day, we were oriented incorrectly, and a young man named Samith had to sort out the problem again, at his own risk! For which I am very grateful to him, it's just a lifeline of this hotel, he wrote us a card for lunch. I didn't need anything extra, I wanted to get what I paid for.
To sum up: a hotel for a relaxing beach holiday, more family friendly. In general, the impression of rest in this department remained good) Thank you to all the staff for your work!

A decent hotel, if you don't find fault, it's old, but it's being renovated.
The most important plus is excellent nutrition, which is almost non-recurring for several days.
The beach with sand is great, and the kids are generally great. Towels and deck chairs are also great. But on the one hand, there is an industrial zone nearby, an unsympathetic sight.
There is almost nothing nearby, you need to go mostly.
It took about two or three hours to get to Dubai Marina by taxi plus metro

I have a very very mixed impression of the hotel. May 2024.
The hotel is an ordinary 4-star, without frills and pretensions. I knew where I was going. I was there for 3 days, I took breakfast. For breakfast - omelets, ordinary fruits, not exotic, sausages, beef meat, yoghurts, some kind of pastries are not wow, everything is without complaints. But you won't stay hungry, I was OK. The staff at the restaurant is friendly and clears the plates quickly.
There are nice people at the reception, there is a Russian-speaking girl. The man at the check-in upgraded my room category to cabana, for free, it is immediately with access to the pool and the sea. Thanks a lot to him for that! The room completely satisfied me. Quiet, you fall asleep to the sound of the waves. The friendly man at the towel counter, thanks to him for his work.
There are questions for the beach staff. We recruited people who clearly don't like their work and the hotel guests. The guy in charge of security at Kaif beach does not approach people normally to explain that it is impossible to go into the water because of the waves, but whistles hysterically with a whistle from afar. Moreover, even when people are standing ankle-deep and the waves even at the same time reach up to the knee. No one rushed to swim in front of me, that is, he whistles preemptively. And from the brazen smile, it is clear that this is how he feels the power, that he is chasing people who paid for this vacation. Moreover, she is afraid to drive men, and they can knock on the head, whistling mainly at women, the elderly and children. I was standing by the shore, he whistled at me and ran up, but nothing to a healthy man who was standing 5 meters further into the depth. Because of him, I think a lot of people won't want to return to this hotel. People were very indignant about him on the beach, which he got and was rude. Even if you don't swim, listening to the whistle all day like at a football match, like this Kaif chasing people, is not much fun. People came to rest in silence.
Also, in the morning you will not find beach workers who will help with an umbrella, despite the fact that the umbrella is fixed with pins that only they have. One day I was looking for at least 15 minutes for someone.
By the way, the hotel is being renovated, but on the 2nd floor drilling was heard only during the day from somewhere above. Since I was hardly in the room during the day, it didn't bother me at all. But perhaps in other parts of the hotel you can hear the repair work more strongly and it may be noisy there (check with the hotel).
Another good thing: the compliment of 4 macaroons on a plate was brought to the room in the evening. It's a small thing, but it was nice.
Water with lemon is in the lobby at the reception.
The beach towels are clean and new, with a logo. The sun beds are comfortable.
The contingent consists of families with children and the elderly. There are no young people at all. The beach is nice, but open, without a bay, we must be prepared for the fact that there may be wind and you are not buying.
There is no territory at all to walk around.

We went to this hotel in early August 2024. Yes, many people said it would be very, very hot. And there was a constant feeling of a steam room in the bathhouse. Because of the heat, the hotel made access to the beach from 6.30 am, and we walked like that. But the Persian Gulf did not cool down either in the morning or in the evening))) more than 30 degrees. We arrived at the hotel to check in, we were given a room on the 3rd floor, there is no repair, everything is very, very old, especially the bathroom. We went to the reception to ask for a change, but the hotel was fully occupied and there were no available rooms. Anastasia's manager suggested contacting us the next day, for which I thank her very much. As a result, we moved into the 5th floor, the room is much fresher and cleaner, a bathroom with a new modern renovation, two sinks, a shower. The only thing is very bad water pressure, at least for me. The balcony door was also poorly closed in the room, and since we sleep without air conditioning at night, the hot air blew so well that by morning the floor was just wet, well, it became very humid and hot in the room. We liked everything about the food, in the morning they make scrambled eggs and omelets with you, there are also potatoes, sausages, shakshuka, vegetables, fruits, porridge with milk, buckwheat as a side dish. Dinners every day are themed, national, beef and chicken were for every dinner and lunch. There are all drinks in the morning, and for lunch and dinner for an additional fee, if you do not have everything included. But we calmly brought water from the room for dinner. There are not many sweets, but they are all very tasty. The children were hanging out at the chocolate fountain. The hotel has transfers to two shopping centers in Sharjah - this is the City and the Sahara, there is also a Dubai Mall, but we did not manage to make an appointment, booking for three days in advance))) recording is done independently in the Barcelo application. As a result, a good hotel on the first coast, with its own beach, pool and sun beds, with good food. The numbers are really a lottery, after all, the price is the same, but the conditions are completely different. In any case, everything is solved, there are Russian-speaking managers, they respond to all requests and try to help. Thanks for the rest!

We had a family vacation with 2 children in 2022, 2023.
We chose the hotel because of the stunning beach and away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The hotel justifies all the money spent. Food, beach, sea, top grade.
For those who want a super newfangled, new hotel. Guys, this hotel is not for you.

Just returned from vacation, rested at this hotel🥰 I will note the comfort, everything you need, at the hotel! The rooms are new, the ocean view is even from the bed! In the room there are slippers, bathrobes, all bath accessories, a kettle, tea, coffee, sugar. The balcony has 2 wicker chairs and a table. TV has already 7 Russian programs. The bed is comfortable, just huge!
Next, the foyer, it's just a buzz. At the entrance, the decor is made of fresh flowers in vases, they were changed every 4 days! Restaurant, pool and sea view, if you're lucky to sit by the window. A large aquarium serves as a partition. Space food, everything and for everyone and even baby food. Very tasty food!
There is a gym. Towels are given to the beach, passage through the pool and you are at the sea.
At 8.00 in the morning from the balcony it was already possible to observe such a picture, how were the towels on all the sun beds?!!!!! That's trash. And when you go out by 10.00 voila, there is no free sunbed. We took it to the pool and brought it to the sea, something like that.
There is a beach volleyball, a separate area next to the sea, lifting the ball a couple of times, I drove a booty😅
And if you are lovers of walking, excursions, then you can take a taxi or if you have friends, you can ride with them. I have a friend there, she drove us everywhere. We even went to Global Village, it's cool there.
If you are going somewhere, so as not to stand in wild traffic jams, you can go at 12.30-13.00 and back after 21.00, then the road will be comfortable. The prices in Dubai Mall are wild, you can go to the Outlet.
Drunkard is prohibited there, so if you want to drink on the balcony with a view of the sea, it's better to buy it on departure.

I started writing a review several times, but I couldn't finish it because it turned out to be very emotional... But I really want to write to the point!
I'll probably start with the fact that the tour operator recommended the trip to us for 2 years, saying that the service, food, hotel, in general, EVERYTHING is at the highest level. That's why we were driving in anticipation of a fairy tale!
And now, in order, I will tell you about the TRUTH that we faced.
Upon arrival, we began to look for our tour operator. Our manager informed us that this is a Space travel. There was no such sign anywhere when leaving the airport. We started going from one bunch of people to another, looking for our operator. Thank God we found two young people, one had a list of arrivals, and the other handed out memos indicating the hotel to which we would be taken. And on this memo there was a completely different hotel, and not the one that we had booked. We started to figure it out...No one knows anything, everyone is playing pin-pong. After 30 minutes, something cleared up and we were still brought to our hotel! Hooray (we thought)!
We checked into the room and almost got a heart attack with my husband for two:plumbing and tiles are all covered in fungus and rust, the cabinet doors were skewed so that they stopped closing and opening for a long time, the door to the closet, where the mini-bar refrigerator was located, scraped on the floor, the side shelf fell out, when opening the refrigerator door, the light in the room is such that if you turn on all the lighting, no matter You can't see a damn thing. But the highlight of this issue was in the form of living creatures, or rather a 3 cm cockroach (unfortunately, Yandex does not allow you to post his photo)!
The room was changed after we promised to bring it to the reception. As an apology, fruit was brought to us...but they did not correct the mood and the emotions received from the 4-star hotel in any way. Although after reading the reviews about the hotel, I am very glad that it was a cockroach, not a rat!
Food. This is a meager, repetitive buffet from day to day, in which it seems that what is not finished for breakfast turns into a salad for lunch, what is not finished at lunch smoothly flows into dishes for dinner. There was only one type of seafood (in principle, for which we were traveling), cooked in different versions. The fruits have always been apples, melon, watermelon and orange. The only thank you to them is that every day there were porridges with which to feed the child!
The sea and the beach. Since we were with a child, the beach and the sea are the best thing for children. Sand, smooth and shallow approach. We were there from March 20th to the beginning of April. The sea was cold, it was not comfortable to go in, out of 13 days, there was a storm for 6 days and swimming was forbidden. The air temperature was from 25 to 30 degrees. The sun is hard here, even at this temperature, so the cream was smeared all the time!
From entertainment, there are animators for charging, there is a children's room, but there is little entertainment in it, there is billiards, but it is difficult to play, since one ball is lost, and the chalk for the cue looks like a stub...Perhaps that's all.
I really want to see these people who write such rave reviews about the hotel, the service, the food here! Are you serious about this? Is this your first trip abroad?! Your reviews are untrue and misleading. This hotel matches the weak three.

We rested in a nearby hotel, and we came to this hotel along the beach. The territory is small, but well maintained and beautiful. There is a water slide in the pool. Beach bar, nice sun beds and umbrellas.

We have been to this hotel several times, very polite receptionists, a lot of Russian speakers, lived on the 3rd floor for the last time, a very dark room. The food leaves much to be desired, but we had enough. The beach is gorgeous, sun beds and towels are available. It's great that there are pharmacies and shops nearby. In general, everything is great!

An excellent inexpensive hotel on the 1st coastline. We were in November 2023, most of the guests are our compatriots. We had a room on the 1st floor and we went to the beach through the balcony, very convenient. The neighboring hotels are completely empty, which is why it is unclear. There were enough sun beds, but many of them are occupied and do not come. You need to sign up for a transfer to the Dubai Mall a few days in advance, there is only one bus, this is the main disadvantage. The food is simple, but generally delicious. You can walk to the aquarium and Sharjah

A great hotel for families with children. We took everything included. We haven't tried it, everything is delicious. Fresh, but for men, the meat assortment is a bit boring. Service: friendly staff
Beach : at the highest level, there are enough sun beds for everyone, it is always clean.
Rooms: cozy, but there is a minus, until you remind me many times about the detergents they will not bring. Cleaned every day
A big minus is that everything closes at 19:00 and there is no entertainment, the beach and the pool are closed. And so I really liked everything. It's a great place with kids.

Excellent hotel, first line. We were there in November 2023. Our room was on the 4th floor, without complaints. We cleaned, bed linen, towels were changed every day. The bar was replenished daily (pepsi, seven up, chips, chocolate, water, tea, cream, sugar, brown sugar, sweetener, juice). The staff is friendly, there is no theft and no tips (they did not compulsively demand). The beach is great, there was enough of everything (sun beds, towels), considering that we were in high season, clean, the Persian Gulf was super, the water was "fresh milk". The pool area is also good, one slide, but we had enough. The Jacuzzi area is right in the open air. Beach bar (drinks, smoothies, fast food ice cream, but very tasty).There are no complaints about nutrition either, the menu is not overblown, but varied. There was everything and vegetables-fruits, pastries, meat, cheeses,
yoghurts, in the evenings (but not every day) there was even a chocolate fondue dish. We rested for 10 days, it feels like " I want to come back again." But you need to know that Sharjah is the most religious Emirate and there is no alcohol anywhere in the Emirate, including in hotels (we had All).But it is a very convenient location from Dubai airport, the transfer to the hotel took us 20 minutes, which is very convenient with a child. We are happy with the hotel and the rest in general!
