A lovely, cozy place. The beach is close across the street. The hotel has a wonderful SPA center where you can spend the whole day: a wonderful hammam, real Thai massage therapists. A gym equipped with the latest technology.
We rested at the hotel in April 2018. Booked a month in advance. The main priority when choosing was the possibility of free use of the beach of the Sahara Hotel, owned by one owner. By our arrival, the owner sells Sugar and in the heat we were forced to go to the municipal beach, which is not equipped with anything, where there are no sun loungers, no umbrellas, no shower, no toilets. The owner made pathetic attempts to resolve the issue by purchasing several beach umbrellas, which were sorted out by the guests in minutes.
The room came across with a sea view. But if you do not close the window, then at night it will feel like you are sleeping on the highway - the road goes to the port, respectively, the movement of trucks around the clock. There are rooms without windows facing the street. Also inside everything is decent "doroHo- boHato"), cleanliness is not to take away. But when you go to breathe the sea air for a week, this option is not very good.
Food. A parody of the buffet.
It was NOTHING. The assortment is very meager! And not tasty. Even the motel next door is better with that.
But even during these eight days , the owners twice managed to rent out the territory of the dining room for a celebration . And we, the guests, should be moved to another hall for the meal, fed in the format of "eat what you have served".
Plus - Russian-speaking reception staff, very nice girl and young man! 5+ to them for work!
Now there is a supermarket at the hotel, air conditioners and hoods hang on the wall to the left - I can't imagine how to live in rooms nearby.
Yes, if you arrived at the hotel not alone, but half of the bus, there is no place to stay in the reception area - there are not many sofas, armchairs and perhaps you will not have enough.
All this needs to be taken into account.
We have never had a desire to return to Evan. We "settled" in a nearby motel, even with its disadvantages and lack of gloss and golden elevators.
In general, good reviews for 20-21 are not true. Of the minuses:
- the hotel is Hindu, Hindus work, there are no Russian staff at the reception desk.
The attitude to everything is Hindu.
-the pool is not working, the exit to the roof is simply closed.
- the breakfasts are meager, without a buffet. And the same. Oatmeal porridge, 3 slices of cucumber and tomato. French fries + sausages and eggs, either boiled or a kind of omelet.
- they clean terribly, they just make the bed.
- the windows are dirty, but it's been all year.
- there is not even a tea bag or a bottle of water in the room. I have never met such a goon anywhere.
Of the pros:
-allowed checkout at 2 pm, instead of 12.
-large, soft beds.
- close to the beach, but on the wild beach that is opposite the hotel - garbage, dirt, a dead dog in a net and a turtle. To a normal beach - 10 minutes on foot.
In general, there is basically nothing to do in Sharjah, it's better to go to Dubai)
