We had a rest here from January 27 to February 4, 2026. Great hotel! I don't know where the bad reviews come from, or rather for what? A great hotel for the money! We rested in yours! It's fantastic, the staff is very polite, everything is very clean! Everyone washes and prepares fresh food! This place can be ruined by unhappy Russian tourists forever, it doesn't concern everyone, but there are moments! The hotel itself is very good! Very clean rooms! We lived in a chalet, upon arrival we were asked for a sea view, we were provided with no problems! We are absolutely delighted, the beach is private and very clean, the pool area is washed every day! Dubai is easily accessible by ferry or taxi! There are also buses, the Sharjah embankment is nearby, there are places to go for a walk and eat in the evening (if dinner is not included in the department), there are many local supermarkets and shops! 2 gis has the latest locations! There is free Wi-Fi everywhere in the hotel. We highly recommend this hotel!

We stayed at the hotel from December 06 to December 14, a room in the main building overlooking the city, room 219. The room is spacious, a cot was brought, tea and coffee were replenished daily, one bottle of 1.5 liters of water, shampoo and shower gel are all there. We had breakfast and dinner, there wasn't much choice, but everything was edible. For breakfast, porridge, toast, cheese, vegetables, butter, several hot dishes, pastries, tea, coffee, juice, yogurt, canned fruits, for dinner vegetable salads, soup, several hot dishes, side dishes, cakes, watermelon, tea, coffee. There is nothing to choose for kids except porridge for breakfast. There are enough seats. There are high chairs for children. They open before 8, they came for dinner later, there was always food. There are free buses from the hotel to the Cartoons shopping center, without an appointment, you arrive on time and that's it. The paid transfer to Dubai, 80 dirh, was not used. The beach is nice, spacious, and there were plenty of places, but we came earlier. There is a shower, foot wash, towels were received in the morning, and they were exchanged for cards in the evening. There is a heated swimming pool, for children and adults, a small playground under a canopy, it is good in the heat, the hotel does not have a territory. There is a gift shop and a candy store selling mangoes. There is a supermarket, an oceanarium, and a boat station in Dubai within walking distance. Overall, I liked the hotel, although I was initially skeptical.

This is the third time we've been to the hotel. This year, our vacation came during the New Year holidays. A New Year's Eve dinner was included when buying the ticket. We wanted to remove it, but it didn't work out. We didn't expect that there would be such a gorgeous banquet. The hall is decorated! There were Christmas masks on each table. The food was delicious. We entertained from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m. Contests, dances. In general, the hotel has very friendly staff. We checked in immediately upon arrival. I would like to mention Ruslan, who sends free shopping for fur coats. A decent, conscientious man. We are driving wrong because the price-quality ratio pleases. The sea is nearby, the food is high-quality and delicious. The pool is warm and clean

We stopped by on December 24, 2025 I had a rest with the children until 1.01.2026, I liked the hotel, it was calm, the beach was wonderful, clean. The food is relatively tasty, fish and chicken at lunch and dinner always, beef, cakes are delicious, salads are delicious and fresh, overeating. Cleaning in the main building is every day, but symbolic, they put shampoo, gel, body lotion, tea and coffee. The heated pool saved us because the sea was cool, but we still swam in it sometimes. You can walk along the shore to the public beach of al Khan, where it's more fun to play volleyball, go left along the coast. By the way, we were sitting on the beach without any problems, if you look at the hotel, then go along the chalet on the right side and the entrance next to the cafe was always open. No leaky beach towels were seen, there were always sun beds. It is convenient that the hotel has dinner until 22.00, we had time to have dinner. Sweets are sold in the hotel building, prices were compared from Day to Day, the same, but there is more choice here, and they also give a bonus of one package as a gift if more than 5 packages. They also sell good quality medical steel jewelry. And the leather goods are of very good quality, they are also transported for free to large stores in Dubai. The New Year was organized beautifully, the food was delicious and varied, and we were surprised! There was Santa Claus, contests, a lot of gifts, everyone was given bags of sweets.The only negative is that it's boring in the evening, there is no entertainment, music, Although there are sports grounds, but no one activates or convenes them. We are very satisfied with the rest, we will come again.

It's not a bad hotel. It was comfortable and affordable to relax in it. The meals were breakfast and dinner, the food was simple, but varied, and there was plenty of meat, fish, and coffee. What was especially pleasant was the silence in the hotel, despite the fact that the hotel is on the highway. This is a family-friendly hotel. The location is wonderful because the hotel is located right on the beach, the beach is wonderful and the sea! And to have fun - to Dubai, just 20 minutes by taxi. They take you from the hotel during the day, when it's hot, to the Malls, it's free. We took two excursions - to Dubai and Abu Dhabi, but not in the company, but near the hotel - I really liked it! We regretted that we hadn't booked an excursion to the museum of the future earlier! I would really like to come back, but in the light of current events, nothing can be planned! Thank you, Carlton!

Solid 4*. We are currently relaxing at the hotel. One of the disadvantages: the chalet room has no window as such, instead there is a glass piece of the wall, therefore, there is no way to open and run fresh air, and if you do not open the curtain, it is a panopticon. And the rooms are very humid. Otherwise, everything is fine: the beach is wonderful, the staff are responsive and attentive, the food is very tasty (yes, the choice is not as big as in Turkish and Egyptian fives), but there is always beef, chicken, fish, a couple of side dishes and salads. Pies and watermelons for dessert. Very, very tasty feta. There is a wonderful shop at the hotel with chocolate and dates, and every day the store staff provides free sweets. Convenient location. If you do not dig into the details, then the price / quality ratio is acceptable.

I just recently came from vacation. I stayed at the Carlton, in Sharjah. I lived alone in a room for two. With a view of the sea. The room is clean, but it hasn't been cleaned in 14 days. The sand was on the floor and lay there for the entire term. But I didn't really want the janitor's presence. I've left Russian chocolates as a "tip" a couple of times. Although you're not particularly welcome, since there was no cleaning. Water, tea, coffee, sugar, shampoos were updated daily. The towels were white, clean, and changed every day. Thick towels were provided when going to the beach. There were plenty of deck chairs. The beach is sandy and pleasant. It was stormy, but it didn't dampen the mood. I enjoyed just walking by the sea. But in the storm it was very noisy from the sea, even the pillows on the ears did not save from the noise of the waves. It got in the way. The food, of course, is not too varied (compared to the other 4") There was no meat in the breakfasts, Sometimes sausages and sausage, but not very good quality, in my opinion. There were no fresh fruits at all, and there was no variety in vegetables. 3-4 kinds of pastries, canned fruits. The staff is quite friendly. The hotel is almost 100% full of Russian-speaking tourists) The staff speaks tolerable Russian.

Good inexpensive hotel, delicious food, buffet. For dinner there were always several types of salad, soup, fish, meat, chicken, several types of side dishes, sweets for dessert, watermelon. Daily room cleaning and 1.5 liters of bottled water are left in the room. You take beach towels at the entrance to the beach, hand them over at the exit, they are clean every day. The sand is light and pleasant, there are many sun beds, and they are free. On the downside, there is no hot or plain water in the restaurant. I had to put some water on the bar in the restaurant. There is tea and coffee right in the boilers, and juices in the morning.

The hotel is historic. It was opened by Sheikh Zayed. Everything is clean, the rooms are renovated, quite comfortable. There are two-room apartments, one-room apartments and a chalet. The territory is well thought out. Nothing superfluous, everything is in its place. The food is excellent, not to say that it is plentiful, but the most necessary things are there. The staff is polite, there are Russian speakers. If the room does not fit, it can be upgraded to almost a junior suite for a small fee. The location of the hotel is quite convenient. Supermarkets are nearby on the left and right, Mac and KFC are nearby. A short walk and there will be a pier with a ferry. You can swim to the center of Dubai. In general, it's not bad!

Great hotel, we liked it. They gave us a very nice room, a chalet with a sea view! A cozy room! The room cleaner was especially good there, very kind! The food was also good, especially the New Year's table was great and the program was great! I also liked the city itself and the tours of Dubai. Thank you so much! We want to come back again! The beach is clean and well maintained! Generally, everything is clean. The water in the pool is warm. We didn't find any disadvantages

I recommend it to those who need a beach holiday. Private beach, swimming pool, pristine Persian Gulf. They come to take you away on excursions if they want to shake you up. By the way, the food is good ahead of schedule. There are new dishes every day, but the basis is the same every day. But it has been checked and there is no risk of disrupting excursions. Solid 4* matches. Recommendation for those who want to fly, take a Chalet with a view of the sea, paid 5 k rubles, but you will not get into a room with a view of the parking lot. In general, I'm not a gourmet, but if you come with no pretensions to Wow, spread your fingers, then for this money it's quite a decent option. Ask me if I'll come here again, I don't think so. There are quite a lot of places in the Emirates where it would be better wherever you go. But I'm not ready to rest in an anthill called Dubai, but once again, who's going for what.

Location: far from the center of Sharjah, but close to shops, McDonald's, to the local center in 15 minutes by car. The hotel is small (by Turkish standards), 5 floors, the furniture is not visually too tired, the hair dryer is working, the only thing is that our beds were shaky, an iron and ironing board are provided on request. Food: European cuisine, the food is good, there is a queue in the dining room with a large crowd of people, but this is not critical. Eating at the bar and on the beach: it's a little difficult to get anything from food, except ice cream - the time is not right, it's over, then something else. It wasn't critical for me. There are no questions about drinks. There's a restaurant, but we didn't go there. Service: there are no complaints, they clean regularly, they help if you ask. Recreation: there is a strong low tide in the sea, the water in early March is refreshing. The hotel does not have a stone embankment, the sea was stormy for several days, it is forbidden to swim on the waves. The water is clear, turquoise, the sand is light, but there is a nuance of the sea - it periodically brings water with an unpleasant smell. You can walk along the shore and walk to the city beach. In the main pool, the water is very warm (as I like it), the pool is deep (2.8 m max), but not very big. There is a Jacuzzi and a children's pool, there is a slide. Russian russians have animation, but not much: exercise, darts, volleyball, and cartoons in the evenings (in Russian, 90% Russian). There is no children's animator. Conclusion: a good hotel in terms of price/quality ratio

We stayed at the hotel from December 16 to December 22, 2025. For the first two days we lived in room 105 with a view of the roof and a shower in need of repair with cockroaches. Then in room 405 with a great view and a good repair. Seven days and no sunshine. We swam in the sea for the first two days. The temperature was up to +21, the water was +26. The hotel is more likely to be good in good weather, not so good in bad weather. There is one sauna for everyone and a swimming pool outside. There is no entertainment, just swimming. Leave and arrive only by taxi. The trips cost 60, 150, 71, 80 dirhams. The food was fine with me, but it was poor compared to other hotels. The staff is normal.

We rest here for the 7th day. Everything is great! The hotel is not new, but everything is working properly, hot water is normal, refrigerator, hair dryer. The food is good, no frills, but everything is very tasty. For breakfast, porridge, eggs, cheeses, sausages (not tried), rice, pasta, sausages, vegetables.. Of the fruits for breakfast, only canned peaches, pears, pineapples, watermelon for lunch and dinner. Juices only in the morning, lunch and breakfast tea and coffee, by the way, the coffee is delicious. There is a sauna, free of charge, used every day, until 14.00 by women, then by men, a pool with warm water, large. Beach... Rush... There is soft white sand, the water is clean, the entrance is shallow, towels are provided by cards, there are enough sun beds and umbrellas. Shampoo, shower gel, body lotion, cotton pads, chopsticks, everything was replenished daily, towels were changed every day. The weather is good, it's 28 in the afternoon, 18-20 at night, the water in the sea is 21 degrees, it's hard to go in after the sun, but then you don't want to go out. Anyway, I recommend it! Thanks a lot to the staff, always clean, friendly, smiling! We wish you prosperity! We will definitely come back

The location is very good - the sea is nearby, there is a private beach where sun beds are free and there are enough (there were in December and there were always free sun beds), a very warm pool, walking accessibility around the city. The Sharjah Aquarium and Maritime Museum and the marina are nearby (it is convenient to sail to Dubai and back). There are also several shops at the hotel, small but good with souvenirs and beach clothes. And the candy store is in high demand - there is a fairly large selection of chocolates, Dubai chocolate at different prices (depending on the quality of the filling, how much chocolate, etc. - everything is delicious. High-quality Dubai chocolate is certainly more expensive, you can buy it by weight in the form of pyramid candies - it tastes the same as real Dubai chocolate!!!). There are shuttle buses from the hotel to the Sharjah shopping center and you can go ahead for free to Dubai (through a visit to the outerwear store). Rooms with balconies, there are rooms with bungalows. Generally. Recommend 👍

I was in this department, the food is quite tasty, European. the main advantage is the first coast. of the cons: the rooms are a little old, the bathroom was pretty dirty (but there were basic things like shampoos and soap), adapters— they promised 3 horror, but they only gave 1 and then it started to sparkle. paid buses were promised for free. the service is so-so (the staff understands English rather poorly), only the room cleaner was pleased with the staff. the pool is quite dirty but heated. just like the pool, the beach is dirty (there is a lot of debris in the sand). My personal opinion is that it doesn't pull 4 stars (only 3)

This is my favorite hotel by the sea. I take two meals a day and a chalet with a sea view, but the view is not always good. It's a pity that there aren't enough umbrellas on the beach, we could make one big roof for those who like to lie in the shade. The gym is very small, but the main thing is there. The staff is always polite, for which I thank you VERY much.

Paul hotel: we arrived early in the morning, our request to check in early was answered immediately, we checked in at 9 a.m., just fine.. The food is tailored to the Russians, everything is delicious, homemade, there is no alcohol here) . The pool is heated, the Lane is separate for women and men on certain days, there is a gym - but we have never seen anyone there) . The room has a view of the city, which is not disturbed by the sea, the view in the evening and at night is beautiful to the city, only noisy-at 4 o'clock the local prayer begins.. There is a CFS and a McDuck nearby. Walking around the city, there are a lot of shops, a cafeteria for every kitty, the embankment is nearby, mosques are all around, shops are open until 1 a.m. There are shuttles and free buses to the markets. Russian-speaking staff-everything is clear and accessible. Thanks for the rest!

The hotel has its own beautiful beach and swimming pool. I was there in February, great weather, sea and sun! The room with a sea view had a beautiful view and the sound of the surf at night, but the bathtub in the room surprised me - the terrible dirty plumbing of the last century, the tiles were wild and rough. We moved to another room with urban noise, the bathroom is newly renovated, but you can only sleep with the window closed and with blackout curtains. The food in the restaurant is quite modest, this is not Turkey. The little things are striking: the absence of teaspoons, the complete absence of fruits from the word at all, strict accounting of napkins - 1 napkin per person is given for breakfast and lunch. No entertainment program. The staff is male only. Russian russians are all the guests, and there are staff at the reception with a slight knowledge of Russian, which is nice. February! I visited here about 20 years ago in March and November. I took a chance to go in February and didn't regret it. Everything is beautiful - the beach, the sea, the gentle sun. The hotel has its own beach, swimming pool, tennis court, table tennis. There are few people, children too, and the atmosphere is very calm. The staff is all male. The guests are mostly Russians - Moscow, Kazan, the Urals. But there are Poles. The rooms are clean, but not always freshly renovated, if you're lucky or what you'll pay for. The cuisine is modest, 3 types of salads, fish, stewed meat, chicken and boxes with 4 types of side dishes. There are desserts for lunch, only watermelon is made from fruits! Some kind of mashed potato soup option 1. For breakfast there is porridge, omelette, yogurt, pastries, coffee, tea, juice. You won't starve to death, but this isn't Turkey. Around the corner of the hotel there is a shop with tea, coffee, sweets, chocolate with a good price tag. And Mango! We enjoyed this fruit for dinner every day. In my opinion, no frills, but quite decent for the price tag that I paid.

A normal beach-room leisure hotel. There is no annoying animation, unnecessary noise. You can relax either by the pool (heated) or directly on the shore (owned by the hotel. there are umbrellas, deck chairs, tables) You shouldn't expect much: it's clean, tidy, and the staff is polite. The breakfasts are mediocre, but there are shops and cafes within walking distance.

A small, quiet hotel. With its own sandy beach. There are no borders, there are no fences, you can go to the neighbors, and sometimes they walk. There is zero entertainment. A volleyball court under a tree! You can't play there, you have to walk bent over there. There is a good tennis table, and you need to keep your own equipment. The food is normal, the standard for the UAE. There is no variety, but there is enough for everyone and it is delicious. The room had a view of the parking lot, we were offered to pay extra, we naturally agreed, and moved into a nice room, almost on the shore. Many people speak broken Russian, there will be no problems in communication. Bathrobes and slippers are provided on request.

The hotel was built in 72, so it needs cosmetic repairs and the intervention of a designer. But here it is important: quality for your money! I would like to have more varied food, but you won't stay hungry. The beach is a confident 5! A big plus is the availability of a free tennis court. In general, I recommend it.

At first I did not like the hotel, the rooms were not very fresh, especially the bathroom, the seams were in mold, they asked to change the room - it was much more decent there, the food was monotonous, on the fifth day we almost did not go to eat at the hotel, we ate in the nearest cafes or pubs. The beach was great, sun beds, towels, shower, pool, everything was there. We got to Dubai by taxi, be careful there is a network of taxis in Sharjah, but there are Dubai ones, the price difference is two times cheaper in Sharjah. There are traffic jams after five o'clock in the evening, so a taxi from Deira to the hotel will be around 50 derkhan (Sharjah taxi) or 100 derkhan (Dubai taxi), a private taxi 180 derkhan (don't be fooled) look for a better taxi, it will be twice cheaper. And of course it's good to rest like this.

The fact that it smells damp is everywhere, whether Thai or Vietnam, we opened the balcony and came it was warm and nice in the room. The food is of course Russian, noodles, potatoes, eggs, and everyone writes about fruits that they are not in the breakfast, etc., so they are all imported, so the price will be higher with them, in the store any fruit, I do not want to eat. It was warm in the evenings, and I didn't need any warm clothes. Everything is fine, we liked it, the date shop at the hotel, the prices are normal.

I will write the most truthful review of all ;). To begin with, you shouldn't expect anything sky-high from this hotel. After all, admit it, you bought it because it was the cheapest. Isn't it? Definitely worth the money! We took 2 meals a day - breakfast/lunch with the possibility of replacing it with dinner. There are questions about the quality of the food... but in general it will do. Fish are generally fire! If you just want to not be hungry, then that's fine. Expect culinary delights... it's better to go to the Marina restaurant. Many people write about coffee — I disagree, it's normal coffee, you can drink it. If you rate the food from 1 to 5— then a solid 3. Food — 3 points Staff. They are mostly Pakistanis and Africans. Many people at the reception know Russian. It is quite easy to communicate, they will help if possible, they will prompt you. I didn't have to solve any difficult issues. We talked to a guy from Pakistan, his name was Khan, he was at the reception — he told us a lot about Dubai. Smiling, responsive. In general, I can't say anything bad about "hard workers" — they will listen to you everywhere and help you whenever possible. Staff — 5 Beach. As many people write, the sunbeds at 6:30 a.m. are almost all occupied. This is not a joke. I did this: I set the alarm for 6:30, crawl to the beach on autopilot, find free sun beds, throw T-shirts on the sun beds under the umbrella (they won't give you towels yet — they start working at 8 a.m.). And I crawl back to my room to get some sleep. There's no other way. Tip: take soft umbrellas — those that are wooden, very low, guaranteed to break your forehead ;) Beach — 4 The rooms. We lived in the main building. Life was good. The room was spacious, with a balcony, but with a view of the city. They cleaned every day, the beds were made, the bed linen was changed. There was one moment: around 11-12 a.m., a car arrived, pumping out fecal matter. The whole street began to smell, and this smell also got into the room. All this was accompanied by a strong rumble of the pump and truck. The only way out is to close the balcony door, then there is no smell, and the sound almost disappears. I won't talk about the chalet, but people write that it's a complete thrash. If you have the opportunity to overpay, I think it's worth it. Rooms — 3 Accessibility to the city. There are many options here. I'll try to describe everything. 1. Sea transport. The hotel is a 10—minute walk (from the exit facing Lavender, immediately to the right) to Aquamarine. There is a pier and a ticket office. Arrive in 25-30 minutes and buy a ticket for 15 AED per person. Departure time from Sharjah is approximately 7:00, 13:00, 16:45. But it's better to just take a picture of the schedule at the checkout. The boat will take you directly to Al Ghubaiba Station, the journey time is about 30-40 minutes. It's just a must-have to see Dubai from the water, and for that kind of money. 2. Taxi. The nearest metro station is Stadium. It takes about 20 minutes to get there, and costs about 55-60 AED. Be sure to ask to turn on the counter (counter/meter). If you order through Careem, there may not be a counter, then ask the taxi driver to show the application screen. You can also get to Union station — about 39-40 minutes, it costs about 70-80 AED by Hala taxi. 3. The bus. There is a McDonald's nearby. There you can catch bus No. 7 — it will take you to Al Majaz (dancing fountains). They charge about 8 AED per person (rarely for children). There you can get off at Al Wahda St, a busy street with many buses. The E303 goes straight to Union (7-12 AED). 309 — straight to Emirates Towers. You can install the S'hail app and view routes. We didn't have a SIM card, so we rarely used buses. To summarize: the easiest way is to take a taxi and ask for a ride to the nearest subway. But be careful of the counter. Don't be fooled, especially by dark-skinned taxi drivers. There is also a life hack: Ruslan walks along the beach, he sells fur coats. They provide a free shuttle service to the store in the Deira (Union) area. You will be asked to buy fur coats, bags and all other "consumer goods" for $1000+. You don't even have to go to the store, but go straight to the Union metro station. But such a "loophole" will work exactly 1 time. Transport accessibility — 3 I also want to share a life hack. Since we had 2 meals a day, we often ordered food at Talabat in the evening. They arrive pretty quickly — within 30 minutes. It's like our Yandex.Food. You can choose anything from fast food to sushi. The hotel was founded in 1973. A large—scale reconstruction took place in 2011, according to data from the Internet. This "old-fashioned" is felt in everything... the tiles in the bathroom have been rearranged more than once. There were telephones everywhere, even in the bathroom, which was probably the only way to communicate. It was fun to see it all. But then again... admit it, you paid the least for this hotel. He was the cheapest :)

Economy option Minuses: Take rooms only in the main building. The rooms in the chalet are very tired and damp. The food is very poor. One of the advantages is a great beach and a swimming pool, which is heated in winter. There are plenty of sun beds and the mattresses are not bad. Friendly staff who speaks poor Russian. There are plenty of cafes and shops nearby. You won't be hungry.

We stayed at the hotel in January 2026, the location of the hotel is good, near a supermarket, cafes, McDonald's. The food in the restaurant is delicious, we took breakfast and dinner, you can change dinner for lunch. The rooms are spacious, towels were changed every day, but there was practically no cleaning, mold between the tiles in the bathroom, which is easy to wash, but it was not cleaned, a cockroach was caught on the table. But if you don't pay attention to it, you liked everything.

The hotel for that kind of money is not even bad, the sea beach came out of the building with a heated pool and the sea right there, the food is not Turkish, everything is cooked perfectly, we took rice and meat for the child on the road, we finished at home on the third day, nothing went bad, do not think that we took kilograms when we left Turkey the food in the container was already sour on the plane, although it was taken before departure, I recommend that the hotel has a candy store that seems to be cheaper than in the store, but not by much, they bought fruits and juices in the shops 5-6 minutes away from the hotel on the left and on the right, you can also buy many other things if you have breakfast only

Great clean beach, crystal clear water, great for kids! From the side of the street, especially to the right of the entrance, there is an impossible noise from some kind of building on the territory of the hotel and cars on the road. The chalet on the left, especially with a sea view, is beautiful! The food is very modest and it can hardly be called delicious. Canned fruits only and watermelon. Breakfast and dinner are enough. Lunches and dinners are changed without any problems.

The old hotel opened in 1972, the very first in Sharjah! But... friendly staff, great beach and pool cover all the disadvantages! We lived in a chalet on the second floor with a sea view - a great room after renovation! The food is scarce, it's easier to take it without it and eat in the nearest cafes!

Great location, on the shores of the Persian Gulf! The hotel is tired, it doesn't pull 4 stars, but 3 is solid. The food was simple and monotonous, but we didn't stay hungry. The staff is helpful!

We had a family vacation from October 9 to October 20, 2025, we liked the hotel, the beach was wonderful, the food was delicious, fish and chicken for lunch and dinner were always served, lamb and beef alternated, cakes were delicious, salads were delicious and fresh, we ate too much. Cleaning in the main building is every day, but symbolic, they put shampoo, gel, body lotion, tea and coffee. The pools are wonderful, especially for children, the children splashed as best they could. After lunch, they let you go to the public beach of al Khan, go left along the coast, the second swing is normal, you can take pictures. By the way, we were sitting on the beach without any problems, if you look at the hotel, then go along the chalet on the right side and the entrance next to the cafe was always open. No leaky beach towels were seen, there were always sun beds. We drove 75 dirhams to the Dubai Mall, and 115 dirhams back in the evening. If the bills are not changed, the taxi drivers do not give change. It is convenient that the hotel has dinner until 22.00, we had time to have dinner. Sweets are sold in the hotel building, prices were compared from Day to Day, the same, but there is more choice here, and they also give a bonus of one package as a gift if you take more than 5 packages. Everyone at the reception is responsive, they wanted to extend the room on the day of departure, but unfortunately they refused, they stopped by a lot that day, we rented the room and asked for beach towels under our passports, they did not refuse us. We swam in the sea all day, then we took a shower in the common locker room and went to lunch, we bought it additionally, since we never missed meals, 58 dirhams per person, we gave 116 for two adults, children for free. The only negative is the noise from the city. We went for a walk to the city on the map, reached the amphitheater, crossed the road and walked through the village. We are very satisfied with the rest, we will come again.

The three of us stayed at this hotel from October 13 to October 22. We took a Deluxe room with a sea view, asked for a higher one upon check-in, and were given a 2-room suite without any additional charge. We knew it was a budget hotel, but we needed the first coastline. The neighboring hotel (and several others) cost much more, so we need to evaluate our hotel based on the price category. The staff is very friendly. The sea and the beach are great. The cleaning was quite good, towels were changed every day, bed linen was changed quite often. The food was fine too. Everything is fresh, you can choose . We took breakfast and dinner (exchanged for lunch). We were given 1.5 liters of water per day, we didn't have enough, but we bought 5 liters for 5 dirhams without any problems. The shops are nearby, we bought some things there. Cafes and McDonald's are also within walking distance. We took guided tours across the street (cheaper than individual guides), liked everything, the aquarium is free for 60+. There is a transfer to the malls, a taxi to the center of 13-15 dirhams. The rest was a success, the main thing is to go with a positive attitude. What I would like to improve in the hotel is to put more umbrellas on the beach (there were enough sun beds), as well as to make the coffee tastier.

We had a rest in early November 2024. Family of 4 people -me, mom and daughters (22 and 12 years old). A ticket for 8 days, we took only breakfast. .We booked 2 rooms with a view of the city, combined with each other. On the day of arrival, it turned out that there were no such rooms. There are rooms through the room, we were not satisfied with that. We agreed on another deluxe room with an additional fee (there are 2 rooms, 2 balconies overlooking the bay). The furniture is good, there is enough of everything. We lived on the 3rd floor, but in fact on the 6th. Daily cleaning, change of towels too. Tea, coffee, cream, water, hygiene products-every day for 4 people. The breakfasts are good and delicious (porridge, cereals, yogurt, 2 types of juices, hot, pastries). The staff is polite. The pool is cleaned 2 times a day. The beach is cleaned daily. There are enough sun beds for everyone. The water in the bay is at a comfortable temperature. Fish swim, turtle, crabs run...There is a shop at the hotel where they sell delicious mango, Dubai coffee, Dubai chocolate and sweets. If you leave the hotel and walk 9 minutes in any direction (right or left), you will come to a grocery store where you can buy everything you need. There are 2 transfers from the hotel to shopping malls. The rest was a success and was enjoyed by all family members of different ages. I highly recommend the hotel.

A great budget option. The hotel has been decorated since the 80s, but all the electronic equipment in the rooms is new. Quiet, calm, unobtrusive. The staff is friendly, they always help, there are people who understand Russian. The beach is excellent, the best among the coastal line. The food is excellent, the food is very tasty, we took FB, since we had a child, but we could also take HB, we ate too much. It is clear that there is no variety, but the choice every day is necessarily chicken, fish, beef in different cooking options. It is important to know that for late check-out, regardless of the time, only breakfast is counted on the day of departure, but if you missed dinner or lunch on the day of the tour, you need to indicate this and you will be rescheduled for lunch on the day of departure. You can also change lunch with dinner, talk in advance. Room cleaning is excellent, the advantage of having a kettle, cups, glasses, tea, coffee, sugar, dry cream in the room, replenishment daily, 1.5 liters of water per standard room. Supermarket is 200m away, on the left side. Every day, except Saturday, there is a free shuttle service to 2 different shopping centers. The schedule is given out upon check-in. The result is proximity to Dubai Emirate, cheaper transfer of excursions, private beach, excellent food.

The hotel is on solid 3! The plumbing is old! Cleaning is one name! Meals and breakfasts are monotonous! The only advantage of this hotel is its proximity to the sea and a heated swimming pool. There is a Russian-speaking staff at the reception. Well, the highlight on the cake is the shops at the hotel that will constantly invite you to buy something from them.

Hello everyone I am currently in the UAE in Sharjah at the Sharjah Carlton Hotel...This is my second time in this hotel....I come only in February. The hotel is in a very convenient location..There are shops nearby..supermarkets..oceanarium and museum..gorgeous embankments for walking. The hotel is clean and tidy, the rooms are cleaned daily, I don't even want to write about it, towels, shampoos, soap, cotton pads, etc. everything is there.Water is brought to the room every day. The territory of the hotel is compact, but there is enough space for everyone.The beach is wide and large, and there is a nice pool area. I'm taking a breakfast and lunch tour..I'm having dinner at a cafe in the evening..The food is absolutely wonderful...there is everything for breakfast: an omelet and cheese and vegetables and buns and juices ..The potato patties are very tasty..You don't need to list them either..everything is there, everything is delicious and the dinners are good, I do not know who writes that the food is monotonous..probably small-minded people in terms of life experience. In short, this hotel has become my favorite, I recommend it for a relaxing and cultural holiday, as Sharjah is the cultural capital.

Many complain about the rooms, but I really like it, I relax several times a year, always large and compact rooms with sea views ... The food is monotonous, but delicious, you can order a variety of dishes from a separate menu for a fee... The most important thing is a gorgeous beach!

We had a rest from November 16 to November 22, 2017. The hotel is old, the rooms are dirty, the 5* stars don't pull. All the advantages of this hotel are the beach, the nearby location-clear sea and white sand. There is shampoo, gel, and hair dryer in the room, but almost no cleaning in a week, except that the towels were changed and the sand was swept. Towels came across with holes. The food is not tasty, vegetables are tomatoes, cucumbers and cabbage, porridge, oatmeal, tilapia fish, potatoes and beef with mushrooms. We weren't hungry, but we had a taste of pleasure, too. As they say, you can leave the hotel within walking distance, this is a lie, if you leave somewhere, then it is purposeful. Prices in Dubai have skyrocketed, everything is expensive, food, drinks, ice cream from 20 dirhams and above costs a lot of money, coffee and there is no smell that it was brewed at least 25 dirhams, dates from 20 dirhams, there is no entertainment, it is purely a vacation for grandmothers, the pool is small, and the children's pool is even less than 5 * 5 meters. They say Dubai used to be clean, now there is a lot of garbage, Dubai Marina is all under construction, there is nowhere to walk. We exchanged dollars for 1$* 3.1 dirhams at the mall. Excursions from $ 50 per person, if with viewing platforms, then $ 75 and above. We had a storm for 2 days, a red flag was flying, a nearby hotel was swimming, but they wouldn't let us in.
