The best hotel on Al Meena, the cons are old and worn out. Large Parking, its own beach, great service, there are two-room rooms, in general it is worth the money! In terms of food quality, it is already losing to the Red Castle Hotel.

Great hotel. Of course, it is worth making cosmetic repairs and adding ventilation in the bathrooms. Great food, great desserts. The food is varied, but after a week I wanted something new, desserts were saved. Separately, I would like to mention the beach area, since in this place we managed to see other hotels, ours is a paradise. A great idea with a free transfer to Dubai. However, you need to book in advance. The rooms facing the sea are very quiet, the street is noisy according to the neighbors. Everything outside the hotel is very so-so, there is nothing to do there. There are a couple of shops where Hindus or Pakistanis will follow you so that you don't steal mangoes.

We have been vacationing with our granddaughter since the beginning of June at the Occidental Hotel. I remember with delight! Great place, friendly staff. Super! In the restaurant, the entire staff greets guests with a smile. I would like to especially mention Katyusha and Barat, and in general everyone is very attentive (unfortunately they do not know Russian). In general, super, I didn't want to fly away.

The hotel is good. We were there with a friend from March 2 to March 10 this year. So the impressions are quite fresh. When choosing a hotel, we read a lot of good reviews, everything coincided. The beach is good, the area is clean, the food is excellent, the rooms are cleaned every day, water, tea, coffee, cream, bathroom supplies are left. There are Russian-speaking staff at the reception, problems are solved quickly. Recommend.

The food is of high quality, the service is good, the beach is clean, crabs are running, but the tide is out, we lived in a family room in a separate building. A comfortable room with a view of the bay. The best in this hotel is the location: in the city and with its own beach, there are free transfers to the shopping center, from Dubai airport and from Dubai itself no more than an hour's drive, taking into account traffic jams. Nearby there is the Sharjah Aquarium and the Shipbuilding Museum, supermarkets, pharmacies, El Montaza Park.

A nice hotel with a new renovation. High-quality cleaning. Delicious food. There are Russian-speaking staff. There is not enough water to drink. 0.5 liters per person per day are brought to the room. The restaurant offers free drinks only for breakfast. I had to buy water at the store. There is almost always smoking by the pool. This is inconvenient. After the storm, there is a lot of garbage and dead fish in the sea. In summer it is very hot, at +40 C and humidity feels like + 50 C. I recommend visiting the hotel

The food is excellent, the variety of dishes cannot be counted.a small clean area of its own beach with sun beds, which is why the hotel is convenient - the presence of its own beach. Transfers are free to shopping malls . Arabs are all around :) beauty 😻 the weather is comfortable , the sea is clean , the entrance is gentle sandy . I recommend it , price /quality compliance .

I had a standard room with check-in at 15.00. I was checked in at 8.00 and given the best suite in the hotel with 2 rooms and 2 balconies overlooking the sea. I am very very pleased.

Recently it was renovated , I got a very nice room. The food is delicious at first , but monotonous . After 4 days , I don 't feel like eating anymore . Delicious food for a fee at the restaurant on the beach with a beautiful view. The beach is good , but at the end of November there were a lot of jellyfish , they didn 't seem to have time to bite , but it 's scary to swim among them . I was also worried about the view of some factory not so far from the hotel . The hotel itself is, in my opinion , on the outskirts, far from civilization on foot. Russian-language animation (yoga, etc.) there were enough sunbeds. There are plenty of towels .

Not far from Sharjah airport . Rooms are clean, daily cleaning. We took only breakfast, everything was very pleasant. The bar has very tasty little cakes. Polite and very friendly staff. I was pleased that there is a free bus from the hotel to Dubai and back. However, it is necessary to make an appointment in advance, sometimes there are no seats, because the bus is small. It left a very pleasant impression.

It was a pretty decent place, which I didn't like, the rooms were poorly cleaned, the windows were dirty, the furniture on the terrace was falling apart, the tables had to be washed themselves, everything was stained. The robe had a huge patch)))And you have to wait for the check-in right on time, they didn't give you a bracelet earlier, sit down and no one cares that you didn't sleep at night (
The food is good, the beach is clean.

The service suffers a little, but the location is good, the beach is clean, and if you ask, they will do everything at once, but I would like everything to be right away.
The hotel has its own transfers to the centers, Malls, etc., the place can be booked through the application (at the reception QR code to install).
The rooms are normal, but again, disposable toothbrushes constantly had to be asked, the kitchen is decent, everything is there, everything is delicious. Sharjah is the most conservative traditional Muslim area, so it is always quiet and strict here: no alcohol, no kissing and hugging in public, do not forget about it!

I have never written negative reviews about hotels in the UAE, but not this time. The first and most unpleasant thing is that the hotel makes money on water, 2 bottles of 0.33 are put in the room for the day, water for money in the restaurant at dinner, nonsense! The beach is ill-conceived, there are few umbrellas and shade, it is occupied at 6 am. There are steps everywhere in the hotel, you go to the beach-steps, to the restaurant-steps, etc. There are drawers and shelves for linen in the room...and there are many more disadvantages. Definitely not recommended

Vacation in February 2024. Solid four stars according to the hotel system. The rooms are better on the 4th and 5th floors. The sea is 10 meters from the pool. The pool is clean, deep (2.85) and there is a Jacuzzi with hot water. There is a children's shallow pool. The food is good, of course there are not a billion different dishes like in Turkey in the top five, but you will not starve. Drinks are free at breakfast. For lunch and dinner, a bottle of 0.5 liters of water - 6 derham (150 rubles) , 1.5 liters - 9 derham (225 rubles) a glass of 0.2 ml juice - 20 derham - 500 rubles. There is a lot of water in the rooms, a full refrigerator, but in the restaurant - for a fee.
The rooms are cleaned every day. Tips were left for 3-5 derham. There is a bus to Dubai Mall every day, you just need to sign up through the hotel's app, because places are limited. If the guide advises a free trip to the shops with gold and furs - do not try, in those stores they persistently demand to buy something at inflated prices. The hotel accepts Union Pay cards from Gazprombank. The exchange rate is best in the Deira City Center (hypermarket) Wall Street exchanger on the 1st floor. Overall, the hotel is good. In general, for a holiday in the UAE, you need to take a suitcase of money, or preferably two suitcases.

Of the advantages - the beach, the sea, and that's where all the advantages end.
The food is worse than in Cuba. There is not even ice cream for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The children's menu is worse than the canteen. During the three days of stay, there was only beef once. All the food is in terrible sauces. The restaurant has so little space in the buffet area that even if you arrive early you are still in the crowd. Coffee from a cheap machine, and even for a fee they will make you the same. There is no need to even talk about prices - 2-4 times more expensive than in Moscow .
The sound insulation is such that you can hear what is being said behind the wall. The ceiling in the bathroom is dilapidated with mold. The pool is small.

I like almost everything!
Upon arrival, there was a nuance with the "sea view", which I ordered in principle when booking the tour. We moved into a room with a view of the concrete roof of the lower floor with external blocks of conduits and protruding fittings... but after contacting the reception, everything was settled, moved to a room with a view.
There are quite a lot of different dishes, but there are days when a child "doesn't like anything" ...
An outdoor pool, a slide, a Jacuzzi next to it - everything is fine! In addition to the fact that this grace closes at 20.00, cleaning begins... They ask you to leave.

Hello.
Today is the day of departure from the hotel (February 14) and while there are a couple of minutes under the sound of the surf, let me say a few words about the hotel.
Anastasia is the face of the hotel, the person with whom we solved all the issues. Even before departure, we wrote an email to the reception in her name with a request to confirm the reservation and payment for the hotel, as well as with a request by number. The answer came quickly, to the point and with welcome words. Nice, businesslike.
Hotel.
A real Spanish foursome. And not because Barcelo bought this hotel not so long ago, but because there is a vacation in Spain in my memory, even back in 1996. A welcome bowl of fruits, a message about the time of transfer from the hotel is not on the lists at the reception, but to the room on the letterhead, the unstressed smiles of the staff, delicious homemade food - all this is evidence of the powerful school of management of the Spanish chain of hotels, which every employee goes through.
Food.
We had half board. It's perfect for us - I wanted to eat a little for breakfast and dinner. The assortment is not like in Turkey in the top five, but every dish was delicious, you can even say it in a restaurant way.
Sea.
In terms of beauty - number two after the Maldives, in terms of convenience - number one!
For children and those who swim poorly - paradise!
Location.
For us, the rest should be primarily beach, so the hotel has a solid five. It stands on the beach, but the city is close, and we walked and took a taxi.
Occidental Sharjah Grand is the best beach hotel for its money.

The food is varied and delicious. Lots of fruit. Cleaning is carried out every day. Clear. I didn't use the pool, because I love the sea. But many vacationers swam in the pool. This is our second time in this hotel and we want to go there in 2023.
The territory is bounded by the beach. You can take a walk in the city or take an unscheduled bus to Dubai.

If abnormal customers take up all the seats, and we've seen how here and there and over there the poor devils need to occupy.(Trash), then the staff will bring you sun beds. Then there were so many sun beds that the "occupiers" lost the meaning of rest. Rooms with sea views are quiet, and rooms with city views are noisy, because there is an active road nearby. The staff is very polite and tries to solve all your problems.

A magnificent hotel on the first coastline. Formerly known as Sharjah Grand. In the 2010s, there was a great restaurant with a huge buffet, now the food is no worse, but the number of dishes has decreased.
Desserts remained at the same level, very tasty.
In general, no one will be hungry for food.
As for the rooms, they refreshed, the carpets were removed, it became fresher and more pleasant in the rooms. Comfortable beds, large balconies with gorgeous views. They even put up protection from birds so that the balconies would not clog up.
So far, the most favorite of the affordable and price/quality ratio hotels in Sharjah
