We stayed at the Carlton Hotel with my 5-year-old daughter in the first third of December 2025. The hotel was chosen because of the first beach line and we did not lose out - the beach is beyond praise, from the chalet where we lived to the sea in exactly 2 minutes. There were plenty of sun beds, the beach was clean, and it was great to sculpt castles and sand towns. The sand is white, the sea is transparent, numerous schools of light small fish. The weather for 7 days was sunny except for one day when there was a storm - on this day they were not allowed to swim, tourists walked along the coast bumping into jellyfish washed up by the sea. It was plus 30 in the afternoon, the sea temperature was 25, and it was comfortable. Two swimming pools for children and adults, heated. The chalet was cleaned daily, and shower gel and shampoo were provided every day, as well as toilet paper if necessary. I liked the food, my daughter ate chocolate balls and juice for breakfast)) There were always vegetables, fish, meat, and sweets. Fruits - only watermelon, canned peaches, pineapples. We walked to the aquarium and museum - 15 minutes from the hotel, McDonald's nearby, shops. There is a shop in the hotel itself where they took chocolates, sweets, mangoes. Free buses to large supermarkets run through the hotel.

The advantage of this hotel is that it has its own beach. The territory is small and moderately green. If you choose the rooms of the chalet, then the second floor, there are balconies. On the first floor... specifically, there is a door, but apparently there are no windows… There is a confectionery wholesale store. We were treated every day, several times. There is a free shuttle service from the hotel to large shops and pick up back. The food is normal, without frills. For dinner there is always a delicious fillet of fish, meat, chicken and side dishes, salads. The only fruit was watermelon. For breakfast - oatmeal, side dishes, omelet, eggs, vegetables, tea, coffee. Good natural juices. but annoying music is always playing, the same thing.... It's a little stressful. The receptionists at the reception are poorly speaking Russian, but they are very attentive.The sea is very warm, we were in the last week of October, there are plenty of places on deck chairs for everyone. There was a city beach in the distance, and there were a lot of people there. Not far from the hotel, if you go to the right there is the Sharjah Aquarium, you can look at all kinds of fish for a cheap price. A separate topic is the guides from Pegasus.... As for the individual ones, the sightseeing ones (we went to Abu Dhabi) don't work at all, don't expect any help from them. If you compare Turkey and the UAE in terms of prices, then in Turkey you will get a good five for this money, there will be disappointment, of course. But if you travel instead of staying in a hotel, you will really like the Emirates.

We had a rest here from January 27 to February 2, 2026. The hotel is good, check-in is at exactly 14:00, for $ 50 we checked into a chalet room, the very first by the sea) the room was clean, cleaned every day, but it was enough for us every other day, the kettle and tea accessories in the room, tea, coffee, sugar and water were replenished every day. A bathrobe and slippers were provided upon request. We had breakfast and dinner, the food was monotonous, of course, but you won't stay hungry, there are only watermelons from fresh fruits, canned fruits for breakfast. There was meat every day: chicken, fish. You can buy a set lunch for 50 dirhams, the portion is very large, you can take it to a company of 2 or 3 people)) The sea.... Out of 6 days, a red flag hung for 2-3 days, at first it stormed violently, then the water turned just brown!!! And the smell of hydrogen sulfide! I don't know what it was, whether it was something brought by a storm or from tankers, of which there were a lot. Dead jellyfish and squid washed up on the shore... In general, I have not even swam in the sea once...but there is a heated pool, the water in it is 30 °, the sea was 21°, during the day the air warmed up to 26°, but in the evening it is cool, the sea blows cool. The staff is polite, you can easily communicate in Russian, everyone understands) there are transfers to the shopping center, who cares) we also visited the aquarium and the Museum of maritime history (located 1 km from the hotel) and the butterfly park on the island of Al-Nur (we already went there by taxi, by the way, Yandex taxi operates, they are deducted from the Russian card) Overall, I'm happy with my vacation, the sea let me down a little(
