A good hotel, just a little bit and you can give a solid 5 stars. So far, it's a stretch. The kitchen and staff are gorgeous, no complaints. If you don't want to sit in the lobby during the nausea from acclimatization, then it's better to fly in the afternoon.

We had a vacation in February 2025. We were lucky with the weather. They managed to get a tan. Excellent service. Great animators. It wasn't boring. Anastasia is very active, cheerful and sociable. Entertained everyone. The food is normal. I would like something new. I was pleasantly surprised that they complied with my request to give me the room key to access the pool. I have been visiting this hotel for about 30 years and have never regretted or wanted to change the hotel. Thanks to the hotel administration.

A wonderful hotel. Good location. Clean beach and beautiful sea. The food is always delicious. Thanks to the chef. A lot of Russian cuisine. This is not the first time we have rested here. The hotel is popular, so you need to book at least a month in advance. Thanks to Aelima.

I don't understand how this hotel wasn't given 5 stars. The lobby is pleasant, the rooms are awesome and spacious, there are views of the sea and the city. The food is simply belissimo. The pool has a slide and a Jacuzzi nearby. The hotel has a rocking chair and massage, the beach is excellent and without breakwaters. Without pathos, but everything is fine. The hotel should be given 5 stars

There is no alcohol. There is no entertainment in the hotel. The food is delicious, but the choice is small. Everything is replenished on time. I recommend it to those who need a quiet, small, clean hotel.

Nice hotel. The food is delicious, especially seafood. They are cleaned cleanly, the bed is snow-white, the water in the tap is hot. The staff is pleasant, there is always someone who speaks Russian. The territory is neat, the sea view is gorgeous. The beach is magnificent, white sand with a pinkish tinge, there are always free sun beds. To be honest, the faucet in the sink is sooo short, and I didn't have enough light in the room. And a neighbor was smoking on the balcony, it was just annoying. Well, the audibility is pretty decent, since there is a shared closed door to the next room in the corridor. And for some reason they don't give drinks at dinner, which is strange, but we adapted, took water from the room, and drank tea afterwards in the room, taking sweets from the restaurant with us. There are a lot of reviews on the web with a low rating, they say, the carpet is faded and the room stock is tired. I've also seen live comrades coming out with unhappy faces after checking in, but guys, you're not in Turkey with 5 stars. For 4 stars, in my opinion, they are great! Another advantage: there is a passable supermarket nearby where you can buy gorgeous mangoes and other fruits, there they also took a snack, delicious Arabic tortillas, ayran, cheese and magnificent corn in cans. We also went to the local aquarium, walking 15 minutes at a slow pace.

We have been to this hotel more than once and we will come again! A very good hotel, access to the sea, the beach is super sandy, the kitchen is also a credit and fish chicken meat vegetables are always all there. Minus only the air conditioners are not debugged, I had to call the adjusters in order to build a comfortable temperature, but everything was set up on the call and we gave it away wonderfully, I highly recommend this family hotel.

Laemar is a very attentive waitress. In general, the hotel is wonderful, the cuisine is super! Every meal there are new dishes , it 's even a pity that they are not often repeated , according to the all-inclusive system, canned drinks , chic smoothies , but you can also buy them for a fee. I want to come back to this hotel again and again. The staff is very polite and helpful.

It's a great hotel, it's 100% comfortable. And there is a beautiful pool, and a slide - one, but fun, Jacuzzi. There is animation, water aerobics, all kinds of gymnastics on the beach. The beach is great: wide, clean, there are always sun beds. The food is delicious. Well, what else do you need? By the way, the rooms are large and all have balconies.

Overall, the hotel is not bad, but: 1. It doesn't matter how many people are in the room, but only 1.5 liters per day are given! 2. Lunch and dinner without drinks at all, including water (can be purchased for an additional fee). Who has all inclusive - drinks are included, but also not all.

We liked the hotel! We are resting with my husband today is the last day. The service is good! It is clear that the staff is trying! Everyone is very nice, smiling, attentive, responsive - they always try to help, prompt, and are interested in whether everything is okay. All our wishes and requests were fulfilled quickly and without problems. They clean the room well, the floors are clean, towels are changed every day, bed linen every 3 days, water is brought for 2 pcs -0.5, but sometimes more (especially if you give a couple of dollars). The rooms are old, of course, I would like to update them, but everything you need is there! The bed and pillows are high 🥰 We slept like the dead. There is a free shuttle service to Dubai Mall and other shopping centers. The food in the restaurant was always delicious! At first it seemed that the choice was too small, but then it turned out that there was actually enough of everything (chicken, meat, fish, side dishes of several types, vegetables, watermelon is delicious). The beach is large and beautiful, although the tide is very long, but the depth is not so far, there were always enough sunbeds for everyone, although there were a lot of people. There is a cafe, a little animation, a gym, massage, places to play tennis. In general, everything is fine, the sea is only cold in February, but we still swam, went on excursions, and generally had a great vacation. By the way, the hotel made a small gift for others, a cake with a candle and congratulations, a trifle, but it's nice! We have a transfer at 18:30, we were allowed not to take towels, on the 1st floor there is a shower and a changing room!We would definitely recommend this hotel in Sharjah

We just returned from a vacation at our favorite hotel. We are resting here for the fourth time. That's why we're coming back. The food is always very tasty and varied. From the hotel there is a free transfer to the Dubai Mall, you can sign up and go for a walk and see the fountains. That's what we did this time;) after about 5 hours, the bus picks up and brings you to the hotel. There is a supermarket next to the hotel. We went there for juice and kefir, each time the same purchases. When I flew with a friend, they took only breakfast and a lot of excursions, and some of them with meals. (evening boat trip , desert safari, trip to Abu Dhabi) therefore, kefir for the night. We took breakfast and lunch with the children, and we also had enough, we did not go hungry. Children love a large pool with a slide, there is a separate pool for kids under the slide. There is a gym and a games room. The territory is small, everyone walks along the beach along the hotels nearby, but one has not been working for a long time and there are few people in the second. Of the cons, locals come to relax at the hotel on weekends and it can be very noisy by the pool, everyone with children mostly. Therefore, it is better to plan excursions for the weekend, which we did. In September, the bay is very warm and we rested by the pool. In March, on the contrary, it was cold and few people swam, too, all by the pool. And in May we really liked everything, the water is wonderful and it's not very hot 30-38.

I liked the hotel. Calm. Almost all Russians. The staff speaks Russian. The food is great. Free buses to the shopping center in Sharjah and to the Think Mall. The downside is that there are huge traffic jams during rush hours to Dubai, and you often can't get there.

Quite a good hotel, with solid 4 stars. Yes, the hotel is not new, but very clean, the staff is friendly, there are Russian speakers. The sea is close by, very clean water. With low tide, the water goes away for 30 meters or even more, it is very convenient if you come with children, they can go far and the water will only be knee-deep. There are enough sun beds on the beach, you can relax by the pool, which, by the way, is of a sporty type, quite deep. In the evenings, children's swimming training sessions of some kind of sports section took place in the pool. We had a sea view, for which we paid extra, after reading that the view of the city was so-so, and it was noisy from the side of the road. The Sharjah Aquarium is within walking distance of the hotel. The food at the hotel is also good, there was no shortage of choice. We are very happy with our vacation.

The food is disgusting, the 5-star hotel does not pull, rooms since the time of the tsars are not allowed to swim after 19:00, there are a lot of jellyfish, cold water in the bay, the slide in the pool does not work. Sajib and Chamath are helping them very well, thanks also to Kaif, the best lifeguard on the beach. Oksana and Anastasia were playing darts when winning darts, they give ice cream for 10 AED.

Terrible attitude: today we arrived with a child under one year old, no one met or helped to bring in the suitcases, 3 women picked up their suitcases themselves, were very tired from the road, asked to check in before 3 p.m., which we were categorically refused, not even offered water!!! Hellish attitude towards the guests! The girl Zamira at the reception promised to check in earlier, but in the end she said that not earlier than 3 days!

Two adults and a 2-year-old child had a rest in December 2023. We liked everything very much, close to the airport, the first coastline. Clean, cozy. Room cleaning and generally everywhere is right for 5+ well done.In the room, everything is monitored, topped up, reported.The hotel is decorated very beautifully for the new year, there is a fairy tale and a holiday in every corner. The food selection is not as big as in Turkey, but there is something to eat and everything is delicious. For children, the sea is beautiful, shallow, warm and everything is nearby. There are grocery stores, an aquarium nearby, and in general, if you like to walk, you can walk to the embankment. We liked the hotel, we think that we will come back to you more than once. Thank you for our stay.

An excellent hotel on the first line of Sharjah, the food is not very varied, but very tasty, a clean beach with comfortable sun loungers, friendly staff, some know Russian, daily room cleaning, several large supermarkets and an aquarium (4 photos) are within walking distance, from which there is a daily ferry to Dubai. The only disadvantage that was unexpected was that drinks are not included in the price at dinner, but you can bring water with you, which is given free of charge at the reception, or buy drinks in advance at the supermarket

Gorgeous bay, sand. And everything. I have never seen such rolled metal furniture in the rooms. The plumbing is so dead, it's terrible. Renovation is only on the 5th floor. It's okay to eat, but nothing more, watermelons and melons save you. Even with full board on the day of arrival, you will have to pay for breakfast and not a little, because the buffet will no longer be served with lunch at departure. At 9 pm, if God forbid, you stayed in a hotel that has no territory and animation, you can die of boredom, just for real))) and for all this, the price is decent

A wonderful hotel for relaxation and seal holidays. The food is fresh and good, there is always a choice of beef, veal, chicken and fish. I do not know how they manage to cook rice, but it is always great. Fruits and vegetables are plentiful. But the main thing is the azure sea and white sand))))

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

We had a rest in March 2024. 2 adults and 3 children. The hotel is nice, quiet and peaceful. There is no loud music, the entire hotel infrastructure is within walking distance. There are connect rooms for large families. We lived on the 1st floor, side sea view. The room was nice, but there was dampness. Meals were taken 2 times a day, you can change dinner with lunch. We liked the lunches more than the dinners. Everything is delicious, but drinks are only included at breakfast. I went to this hotel across the sea, beautiful and boundless, and I want to say the sea is there without a similar thing. The approach is very smooth, convenient for children.

This is not the first time we have rested here. My birthday is in November, so last year I was congratulated by the hotel late in the evening, when we had already gone to bed. In the same year, the waiters congratulated the restaurant with a song and a cake. I would especially like to mention an employee of the restaurant named Nikhil. He is always very serious and very responsible about his work, focused, attentive, and always helpful. Thank you for the celebration!

We rested for the second time. We thought it would be better. No. The cleaning is bad. We only had breakfast, and there is nothing to eat there.... A stake in the stomach. Sausages, slicing ham or sausage, this was a humanitarian aid in Soviet times for animals, if anyone remembers. Change the menu. You have only Russian tourists. You must be customer-oriented! One thing pleases, the beach. And then we need breakwaters. There was a storm for 5 days, swimming is prohibited. So that's it..... There is no more desire to come PS it's a pity that I didn't take a photo of the breakfast menu🙄 By the way, nuggets like from the "Pyaterochka" by weight

The most important of the advantages: I really liked the beach, the sand, umbrellas, sun beds are all there, towels are no problems. The room is renovated, clean, pleasant. The food is good, the service is excellent. The room is cleaned perfectly, towels are changed every day. TAPAS and SHIVA employees distinguished themselves. Of the cons: we checked into the room with a delay at 15:40. We asked for a room so that there would be less noise, because we are pensioners, but we provided a room opposite the ventilation, it is impossible to go out on the balcony. And it's noisy in the room. The second disadvantage: draining water into the sewer in the shower cabin is bad. And I would also like to note that the restaurant has a small assortment of dried fruits and vegetables. These disadvantages did not spoil our rest. Basically everything is fine, and the sea is just lovely.

We had a vacation with our family in early April. The beach is very nice, with children it's just the perfect setting! The depth starts in 20 meters. They are fed mostly the same food, there is not enough variety in food for breakfast. And you won't stay hungry If you have everything turned on! The restaurant is on the beach, it serves beautiful food and is delicious. It is better to take everything included to eat in all restaurants and you can always take water, smoothies, ice cream, etc. And if you do not take everything included, then you will only have breakfast or lunch and dinner in the main restaurant there and that will be all. Everything else that you want, then it's for the money!
