There is almost nowhere to go near the hotel.The beach is good, the entrance is very gentle, the water is clean.The food leaves much to be desired.Breakfast is decent, but lunch and dinner are very reminiscent of Egyptian hotels.Drinks are included only for breakfast at full board, packaged tea and coffee for lunch and dinner for an additional fee.It is better to take "all inclusive" then, the food will be included in the cafe on the beach-that's where it's delicious.There were no slippers, bathrobe, or dental supplies in the room upon arrival.The cleaning is good.The audibility is very high, the corridor and the noise of the road-as if all the windows / doors are open.The elevator was not working well.In general, the weather and the sea pulled out impressions)For the first time I chose 4* according to enthusiastic reviews and I won't do it anymore))

A cozy small hotel with its own beach.
The sand on the beach does not burn during the hottest period. Before going to the beach, everyone takes off their shoes. Even there are special cells There are enough places. If, according to our Russian custom, the sunbeds on the beach are occupied with towels, then there is always a place by the pool. Fortunately, everything is very compact.
Be sure to take a room with a sea view. City View is a nightmare. Trucks rattle at night, motorbikes and the balcony cannot be opened. Although there is air conditioning, but without it it would be much more comfortable at night. The balcony in this case is only for drying things - neither to sit nor to look.
The food is so-so. Nothing special. They don't know how to cook meat - it's tough and bland in any form. The fish only remains. It's strange - there are very few local dishes. They shove champignons everywhere. They think, apparently, that in Russia they only eat them :)
The sea is excellent, warm. The entrance is convenient, sandy.
Before dinner, the beach, pool, volleyball!, and then you can shop.
Taxi or hotel bus. It is better to book the bus immediately upon arrival in the mobile application.
At the reception, they speak Russian somehow.
But, there is an employee of the hotel Kristina in the lobby - she will tell you everything, help.
WiFi is everywhere and good.
Pensioner hotel. There is no animation. At 20-00 + - the exit to the beach is closed.

The hotel is not new, but we are not picky. The attitude towards us was good. Free transfer to the shops. The food was only salty. Warm, clean.The water in the bay is warmer than it was in the pool. We were at the end of February. The kids are a little bored.

I liked the hotel in all respects. First line, private beach with sun beds and umbrellas.. Nice pool. Which is very nice and unexpected, the pool is about 3 meters deep. Therefore, the people are not tropical, swam and went out. Breakfast and lunch are very decent. They didn't leave hungry.

We had a rest in July of the 23rd. If you are going to this hotel, then be prepared that you will be "bred" for money already upon check-in, especially Russian speakers. To begin with, they will offer a room with a view of the construction site (the jackhammer works all day, since the hotel has been undergoing protracted repairs for several years, for which there is no money, probably you will pay for it in part later) and next to the screaming industrial generators - it is not only possible to relax there, but it is impossible to stay there for a long time - a strong hum it will drive you crazy. When you categorically refuse this number, they will answer that all the rooms are occupied and will stop communicating with you. We spent 1.5 hours on sofas in the lobby of the hotel. We tried to negotiate. As a result, the room was found, but with an additional payment of $ 230. Tired, exhausted by the road, we did not want to spoil our rest and agreed. Then, as a result of communication with other vacationers, it turned out that they do this to everyone, i.e. they "drive" everyone through this room in the hope of still earning money from tourists. On the third day, we received a call from the reception and demanded to vacate the room, since they want to give it to another family with children. I caught a rotavirus infection in the pool of this hotel, I was sick in bed and flatly refused to change the room, for which I had already paid extra before moving in. They called me three times and demanded to release the number, then they began to write messages on WhatsApp (I kept the correspondence). Then two men burst into the room, one with a thermometer and shoved it at me. I wasn't quite ready to receive men I didn't know when I was lying with a fever in bed. The terrible brusqueness is simply amazing. But as a result, they became convinced that I was sick and left us behind.
And also get ready for the fact that due to the repair of the entrance group of the Occidental Sharjah Grand Hotel, you will be dropped off at check-in on the roadway and you will have to carry suitcases and hand luggage yourself up the hill.
There is mold in the bathroom.
The food is not very varied, but the staff is friendly and, unlike the reception, they smile, wish good morning and a good rest.
The sea is gorgeous. But if you have a choice, please choose any other nearby hotel.

Excellent location of the hotel for a beach holiday. The beach is sandy, clean, the water is clear. The rooms are tired and in need of repair. The rooms are a little dirty. A complete prohibition of alcohol should be taken into account. The staff is good-natured and customer-oriented.

A hotel for a solid three! The food is not very diverse, but you will not stay hungry. Drinks are only for breakfast, and at lunch and dinner for a fee or with their own water. It's not convenient at all, to be honest. Especially when with children.
The price of a double espresso, for a second, is 20 dirhams-and this is 500 rubles.
Seafood, red fish - almost never happens.
Near the pool, they were not allowed to use a SLR camera to take pictures of themselves and their own children -only on the beach.
Near the children's pool (pictured), expensive glasses were stolen, left by me, for 5 minutes to roll down the water slide with the child. After all, theft is present in the Emirates-you should not relax. There were no cameras there- the glasses were not found. It's a shame and not pleasant! The fifth time in the UAE and this is the first time!
The pool towels are faded, as are the carpets in the corridors.
In general, there was definitely no desire to return to this hotel.

A wonderful hotel! I did not regret that I chose it for a vacation! A wonderful team of young guys! An amazing cook! Everywhere and always clean. Everyone is polite, helpful, sincerely trying to help in any matter. The beach is wide, clean. Everything is just super!
Of course, the pandemic leaves its mark on arriving anywhere, but if you don't focus on it, then the rest there is simply magical! We took "all inclusive" with our son And did not regret it. Juices, ice cream, drinks for lunch and dinner... You'll get tired of paying for all this all the time... And so, no problem! Whatever your heart desires! And a daily mini-bar in the room - everything is included in your bracelet! I highly recommend it!

Nice clean hotel. There is a tennis court, a volleyball court, a tennis table. The beach is clean. There are enough sun beds for everyone. The food is excellent. One problem is the free bus to the shops- I didn't sign up. Live queue. But because this hotel is the penultimate there are no places.

A chic hotel!! I didn't regret a bit that they chose him. It has the most convenient location, there is a free shuttle service from it to the Dubai Mall, and if you go by taxi, the road takes only about 20-25 minutes. The hotel is located next to the tourist center of Sharjah, you can walk along the busy streets and fairs
Excellent service, friendly staff, always help and solve the problem.
The food is always varied, there is a lot of it and for every taste, delicious coffee. The hotel has its own shop with the necessary things that are usually forgotten at home (sun cream, swimsuits, hats, etc.)
The beach is clean, cleaned every day
The only unpleasant thing I encountered was the toilet, which a couple of days later flowed from below and the smell of sewage appeared. But coming to the reception, the next day we were given a different room
The hotel is really good, one of the best in terms of price/ quality ratio

We went to this hotel since 2008, it was great. BUT in August 2023 it wasn't a vacation, it was a NIGHTMARE. We took the rooms of the boar (-2nd floor) with access to the pool. Dirt in front of the rooms, feet are constantly dirty. One day the lights were turned off for half a day , there was no backup generator at the hotel .
Another morning turned out to be even more beautiful , at 6 a.m. the room was flooded with water , whether it was clean water or sewer history is silent . The hotel administration throws up its hands, they say, wait , they will be removed , but after half an hour they were still relocated.
The unimaginable is happening in the pool. Russian tourists are whistled not to swim in beach shirts, but at the same time other peoples can swim straight from the beach in their clothes and with their feet in the sand in the pool. Also, classes are held in the pool 3 times a week for children (not residents of the hotel), half of the pool is blocked for this, and on the other hand, a coach conducts private training, and there is no room for our children to swim in shallow water.also with children who came to classes, babysitters or parents come with young children who swim in a small pool, wild children throw stones into the pool, throw tables (which stand by the sun loungers) they also do not pay attention to huge circles , mattresses and everything else inflatable , although previously it was strictly forbidden to do all this in the pool . But the saddest thing is that the slide in the pool was under restoration , no one warned about it . All 8 days we safely breathed epoxy resin . Around the pool is not removed from the word at all .
If earlier I advised this hotel, then after the last visit I can firmly say there is nothing to do here, it was not a vacation, but an eternal struggle for places by the pool, a struggle for cleanliness in the room (we had cockroaches). The repair was made according to the type of painted white. On the 2nd floor, the plaster in the corridor will climb, it is stupidly painted on the top and all repairs.
Of the pros)) breakfast is good 👍

The service is very good. Upon check-in, you need to download an application for which you can order various services (iron, bathrobe, even dinner in the room).Each request is answered, advised how to proceed. The room has a kettle, cups, tea, coffee, sugar, cream. In the shower, everything is disposable - a toothbrush with paste, a comb, a hat, a washcloth.Liquid soap, gel and shampoo in dispensers. The beach is not big with its lifeguard who hangs out a flag every morning depending on the waves. If there are no waves, green can swim, red-strong waves, you can not swim. Also on the day of arrival at the reception they give a card for a person, it is changed to a towel. I will not comment on the food, because everyone has a different taste. The cafe is small, cozy, but there were often not enough tables for dinner, so there was a queue at the entrance. I recommend anyone with a light sleep to take a room with a view of the sea, pool or sleep with air conditioning with a closed balcony. Because our room was on the city, it was noisy, the hum was as if from fans. And there is also a mosque nearby. At 11-12 at night you don't notice much, and at 4-5 in the morning when they start singing, calling or praying, it's certainly not "comme il faut".

Vacationed with my wife in early December 2022 in this hotel. I really liked the hotel in terms of service, Russian-speaking staff at the reception, room cleaning every day, the rooms are not killed, the territory is small but cozy, there is a swimming pool, the beach is within walking distance, there were always enough sunbeds for everyone. Good location of the hotel, near two supermarkets, a little further min.15 walking distance there is a hypermarket, near an aquarium and a maritime museum. A bus to Dubai runs from the hotel by appointment, without an appointment to the Sharjah Citycenter. In supermarkets and hypermarkets , you can easily pay with a mastercard card in rubles or dollars . I recommend staying at this hotel.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT! 2023 October.
The air conditioner even in the quietest mode rumbles under 70dB (the application on the smartphone measured).
I was shown another room, but the air conditioner is also working loudly there. It's impossible to get enough sleep!!
When they tell you that the hotel is after renovation, do not believe it. Only on the fifth floor, the old blue toilets with a bathtub were converted to new ones in beige tiles with a shower (at the same time, the mixer was so short in the sink that it was inconvenient to wash your hands. The floors are without sides, the glass partition is small, after a shower the whole floor is covered with water drops).
The rest of the room stock is tubby. Wardrobes barely move apart.
There is a mini fridge in a battered closet.
The mini bar is meager, two bottles of 0.5 per day for two people.
Tea is the cheapest alokozay tea bags.
The room is very dark in the evening, as if you live in a hole, there is no central lighting.
You will hear everything that happens in the corridor, because the audibility is strong. It's children running down the corridor, neighbors slamming doors, and a cleaner vacuuming carpet.
The carpet was once blue, now gray from construction dust.
The cherry on the cake, paid tea / coffee for dinner for 15-20 dirhams, there is not even plain water.
If it was useful, put a like under the review 👍
(I, Olesya from Kazan, thank you for reading it. Find yourself a better hotel 😉)

My favorite hotel , stayed there 10 times ! This is the best hotel in Sharjah ... the most important thing is that it is located on the best beach in Sharjah, there are sunbeds and towels on the beach, there is a pool with a slide, the rooms have been recently renovated (everything is clean and everything you need is available). Good breakfasts (of course it's not Turkish all inclusive, but you can't go hungry, dinner and lunch were not attended, I can't say anything). In general, for a beach holiday, this is the best hotel in Sharjah , there is Parking, you can leave a rented car. We always stay in Sharjah and go to Dubai by car … but for those who want to drink and hang out, you need to understand that Sharjah does not suit you, there is the strictest law ... but if you are not about that, then you will like this hotel!

The hotel is pulling for four! There are sooo many pensioners in the hotel, I feel like in a dispensary. The food is normal (there are no free drinks for dinner, not even water), the rooms are old, there is shampoo, gel, body lotion. There is no hair balm. Water in the room is given very little 0.5 liters per person. The pool is great! There are never any free sunbeds (they occupy them from the night), but the sunbeds are new and modern! The towels in the room and the linen are great! Balconies are shat by birds! The view of the city from the balcony is gorgeous, especially in the evening! The staff is unresponsive, gloomy, except for the cleaners. The sea is excellent, the approach is smooth, but the waves. The location of the hotel is good, close to Dubai. We helped to print out the documents at the reception for free - thank you so much for that. In the evening on weekdays, when you want to relax in the pool so much, an Arab swimming coach comes with the children and begins training with them, they interfere with swimming for everyone. And from Friday to Sunday evening, huge Arab families with children come, who are sooo noisy, and there is no place for our brother in the pool either.

We are having a rest with my daughter from 01.08.22. If you need a beach holiday, you are here. We arrived at 11.00, Polina met us at the reception (very cool, addressed her on all questions). We were settled in 40 minutes in a room with a sea view (we had paid with a view of the city), thanks to Polina. The room is clean, the bed linen is white, everything you need is there. Cleaning is daily. In the bathroom there are cute little kits with ear sticks, cotton pads and a nail file. Water, coffee, tea, cream were replenished daily. I left a tip😄, so we were replenished as if for 5 people. Large balcony with rattan furniture. The food is excellent. There is everything (smoothies, Viennese waffles, pancakes, toast, jam, cake, buckwheat, porridge, soups, chicken, meat, vegetables, watermelon, melon, tangerines). You won't stay hungry! A large swimming pool, saves a little in the heat. The beach is large, the sun beds are all new, very comfortable. White sand🔥.
