The food is 100% excellent. A good beach for the Emirates. But there are a lot of questions about the hotel itself. After dinner, everything "dies", complete silence. And during the day they could at least turn on music regularly. The pool is tiny, in all advertising photos it is "pulled out". The location of the hotel is very convenient - the maritime museum and the water park are within walking distance, just like the promenade.
The hotel is old, terrible. I was here with children of 16 and 12 years old, there is no entertainment for children as well as for adults (no discos, bars, etc.) for 4 stars does not pull a maximum of 3 and then this is due to the fact that 1 coastline. There would be 2 stars in the city. I can say a lot about food, but I will say the most important thing 1. I had a hair in my plate 2. The choice is not great 3. Not tasty ((( the staff is also not very Cleaning in rooms below 0, the floors are sticky, the windows are dirty, and everything in the building itself is clean to a shine. It was very annoying that the separation of Russians and Ukrainians was not thought out (as they hate us so we hate them) there were often conflicts between nations. A little more about the staff, the waiters do not fit in time until you call and you will remain without drinks. The cleaners don't know what a do not disturb sign is. In principle, everything is from the main. There is no desire to return!
An old hotel (something built in 1980+), relatively fresh renovation, not a suite, but everything is decent, the beach is good, the audience is mostly aged people (everything is quiet and calm), well, the lack of alcohol both in the hotel and in the emirate gives its mark.
For lovers of a relaxing beach holiday who will not be sad without alcohol - I recommend
I liked it!!! On a new one, but conveniently located!! The food is great! The sea is good! I recommend it! Maybe I'll come back

Visited in May 2023. A wonderful hotel in the wonderful country of the UAE, on the shores of the Persian Gulf with snow-white sand and clean, warm sea! The hotel is modern, well renovated and furnished. We had a room on the 4th floor with a gorgeous view of the sea. The food is decent, everything is fresh and delicious. Transfers to Sharjah malls and Dubai Mall . There is a good supermarket across the street from the hotel. Next time I want to go back to the Occidental Sharjah Grand Hotel again!
We rested from 26/10-2022 , the hotel is not bad, but it does not pull for 4 stars. Pillows are not comfortable, room cleaning also wants the best, there is no daily cleaning on the balconies, they do not wash. There are a lot of sunbeds on the beach, but mostly at 6 am everyone is already busy, / under umbrellas / the food is monotonous, but cooked delicious, you will not stay hungry. The hotel itself is well located, a good beach, but the rooms need renovation. The service staff is polite and responsive.
I went with one goal: the beach, the sea, the sun. Satisfied. Nice private beach, clean water. Playgrounds: volleyball, tennis. Guys from neighboring hotels came.
Meals: buffet. I'm not picky. In short, you will not stay hungry. Meat is mostly chicken.
Great place. Ma were in 2022 in the month of May . We were satisfied. The service is at the tower level. Everything is clean and cozy. The staff is good, Russian-speaking.
The hotel is good, it draws four stars. The food is excellent, the service is super, Russian staff at the reception. But repairs are partially underway. Free transfers to shopping malls.
We are not resting for the first time, everything is very beautiful, clean, delicious, the sea is clean, the staff is polite. Since that year, the staff. Tal is better to speak Russian, and Russian-speaking staff has also appeared. But I live in a hotel all for 5 with a huge plus)
The rooms are not very good. Some families with children and the elderly. The screams of children are everywhere. Or maybe we were just "lucky." They have been inhabited for a very long time. The beach is excellent. Yoga, water aerobics, stay
Great hotel.Recently we had a rest with our family, we liked everything, it was beautiful and cozy. A lot of Russian-speaking staff (this is a big plus for your hotel) the girl at the reception is very polite and smiling. (if I'm not mistaken, her name is Victoria) thank you very much!!! For a good rest and excellent service!
A good place, but there are a lot of Russians, on the other hand, you can chat. I really liked the fact that all the service staff understands Russian and can always help or solve any issue. There is not much food, the food is of the same type. Assortment for 4. The beach is relatively clean. I don't really like that Russians take sun beds in the morning and leave for the whole day. I think it's not right to do this. Bought, you leave, leave a place for another, why take up for the whole day. Even though I am Russian, but I didn't do that. I always took a towel with me. In general, everything is fine. I recommend the hotel. The sea is very warm at the end of October. Well, just gorgeous!!!
Nice hotel on the 1st line with its own beach. Tennis, volleyball, jet ski rental, kayaks. Great big beach, lots of sun loungers, clean. Swimming pool, Jacuzzi, slide. A large restaurant.
Select a children's zone. Do not allow for lunch and dinner in shorts, as well as in wet underwear after the pool and the beach. Were in 2023.again.The hotel has changed in a negative way. When he was under the leadership of the Arabs, it was much better. The Europeans (the new owners) have flunked everything. Now I would put a rating of 2. Only one great beach and the sea pulls this hotel now.
A great beach hotel in the UAE, Dubai Mall can be reached in 20-25 minutes, there is a free shuttle service, but you have to sign up for it, and it's not easy, because the bus is not big.
A good hotel for a relaxing family holiday. Meals for 4-5. There was enough of everything. The beach is very nice, it's cool for kids in general. The territory is small, but comfortable. The staff is friendly.
I chose a hotel for a long time, thanks to the reviews I chose this one and did not lose. This is a great hotel for families with children. The staff is very responsive, everyone speaks Russian, the cleaning is 5. Nice and clean inside, the food is beyond praise: everything we ate, everything was delicious! A 5-year-old child always found something to eat. The sea, oh this sea, of all I saw, and we were many places, it was the most beautiful, clean, white sand, blue water. It is better to swim before lunch, because then there are always strong waves. We sat down immediately at 10 for free, while waiting for the test, we quietly moved around the hotel. Masks were worn on the chin or not at all, only in the restaurant at the distribution it is mandatory to wear the mask completely. There was a compliment in the form of cookies in the room. Tea and coffee are put in every day, there is a kettle, 2 bottles of water for 0.5. It is better to take a sea view, since there is a road on the other side, and there are beautiful sunsets every day. Lunch is not included on the day of departure, the reception said that only for a fee, including a child. But in the restaurant, when paying, the girl, very nice, said that the child could be fed for free. It was very nice! There is a supermarket nearby, leaving the hotel to the left, go to the traffic light, cross the road and walk a little more to the left. There is almost everything at reasonable prices. It was 13-17 dirhams before the fountains of Sharjah (they don't work by the way, but it's nice to walk there, including al qsbaa Street). There is an aquarium, 15 minutes on foot. From the hotel to the right, after passing 2 rings, you will be at the place: sharjah aquarium.
There is a free bus to Sharjah City Center, check the time at the reception.
This is the rare case when we liked everything.
I rested here in November, as it seemed to me that there are a lot of our compatriots, for someone it may seem like a minus, but I felt like I was on Brighton beach. Such "experts" of English as I was very pleased with the Russian-speaking staff. Everywhere is clean, you can't get to the bottom of it, the room is cleaned every day, the beach is cleaned, the pool is washed and the sunbeds are also washed, otherwise I would like to have such a staff home. The kitchen is wonderful, everyone will find something for themselves, the cook who made coconut pudding a separate bow to you. Of the minuses, it's not obvious, but these are pigeons and pigeon protection on balconies, it's not clear if it helps because pigeons hang out there anyway and do their dirty deeds, but they also clean it up. In general, since this is my first trip abroad as an adult, I have only the most pleasant memories, it will be difficult to impress me with some other hotel after that.
I'm resting October 2023.
I do not recommend this hotel:
1) Very weak kitchen level.
2) The gym is paid
3) Coffee and drinks are paid outside of breakfast.
4) A nasty smell in the corridors.
5) Repairs are underway + the noise of the perforator.
Of the Advantages :
Location 50 meters from the sea
Nice beach
Swimming pool
Free transfer from the hotel
The service is super, the food is excellent, the beach is the best of the best, and what they cook in more detail is very tasty,the beach, sand, smooth entry into the water for children is the very thing!the staff is polite!!!!!!!!!!
I was at this hotel from March 15 to March 24. Thanks to Victoria, who settled in the morning, without waiting for the official check-in.
Kristina, who solved the issues. And responsive Katerina in the restaurant.
I ordered a sea view in advance, which turned out to be more correct, those who settled with a view of the road did not have the opportunity to move.
Thanks to the chef of the restaurant, for the delicious food. There was too much variety and there was no choice, but everyone could find something to eat for themselves.
I took breakfast and dinner, which can be exchanged for lunch.
What I liked the most: watermelons, desserts, hummus, artichokes, olives, salads, chicken kebab (unfortunately there was one time), good fish, coconut milk soup, fresh orange in the morning.
Of the minuses: for lunch and dinner, all drinks are paid, even water. The restaurant has expensive food and small portions. It is more profitable to take a dinner or lunch buffet for 100 dirhams. In the nearby Carlton hotel for 58 dirhams, but less variety and not as tasty. Bathrobes and slippers on request, although 4 stars, cleaning is not very good. Local administrators and staff are not very helpful. Compensated our Russian girls!
Out of 10 days of rest -5 there was a storm, and the storm - it's a big word - is not allowed, even if small waves.
Please ask the hotel management to reconsider this situation!
There were tides and ebbs that didn't bother me at all, I wanted to swim! There are many beautiful shells after the storm.
In general, the rest was a success - from Moscow winter to summer!
19.05.2022 arrived from
Sharjah, remained very
Davolna.In the UAE for the first time, excursions to Dubai and in
Abu Dhabi impressed
(I recommend it).
The hotel corresponds to
Price/Quality,but number
It is better with a view of the sea, where the sunsets are simply amazing!Not owning
I thought it would be English
Uncomfortable, but the staff
The hotel is half Russian-

Desirable! Your guide works constantly at the hotel
And solves all the issues!
On the day of arrival, at 10 min.
I found a

There's also a pharmacy.Beach on
There are no hotel areas with sun beds

Outsiders! The sea is clear

For the excellent organization of rest
I thank the manager
Sergey, k-th informed
Me constantly about where
You can have an interesting time, etc.
Nice and thorough
I brought up the info ...
I recommend it!!!!!!
The hotel is 50 meters from the sea, this is a big plus. For small children it is very good, there is a children's pool, shallow sea. That's it. The hotel itself is tired with a view of the cargo port on one side and the spit under construction on the other.
Great hotel!!! The beach is super!!! But with HB, it's better to go to lunch than to dinner. Dinners are a little meager, but they are more than compensated for by sooo decent lunches. The staff is friendly, polite. Mostly from Asia: Pakistan, Malaysia, etc. Problems: there are no restaurants nearby. There is in the hotel itself, but in winter it is open until 22:00. There is a supermarket and a pharmacy nearby.
A great hotel with a very nice beach. The first line. Large heated swimming pool with slide. Hot jacuzzi with two types of massage. The food is good, without frills. Very friendly Russian-speaking staff.
My favorite hotel, I've been coming there since 2017 and I can't exchange it for any other hotel. I love this quiet and peaceful place, there is no entertainment in the hotel, which pleases me personally, the rest turns out to be quiet and measured. The first coastline 🙌🏻 Insanely delicious cuisine and excellent attitude of the staff😊
The hotel as a whole is not bad. Your own beach, a kitchen for 4, without alcohol, dinner turns into a quick absorption of food, there is nothing to do in the evening. And the sea is like a big pond, there are almost no waves.
We liked everything!
A variety of delicious dishes, a great beach, clear and clean water, attentive staff, clean rooms! Everything is fine! We definitely recommend it!
September 23. We chose this hotel based on reviews, ratings and rest in a nearby hotel. To say that I'm in shock is to say nothing. No one warned that it was being repaired. And it's just a shock for me, as for a spoiled "all in" person: there is a complete lack of free drinks for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Even water. On the table there is a menu with drinks, where a can of cola is 500 rubles. Are you serious!? A ticket for 300,000 and there is not even water. FU. Egypt, Turkey, Tunisia, Sharjah 2014- and here's the cherry on the fucking cake Occidental 2023. Pension Burgas ito does not behave like this.
The food is decent, the territory is small, the staff is friendly, Russian-speaking, rooms should be taken only with a view of the sea, rooms with a view of the city overlook the freight road, very noisy from early in the morning.
Food, service, staff, everything is at the highest level.. The only negative, the air conditioners were very noisy under the windows. And at the main entrance, the repair spoiled the impression, the price is not very cheap. And so everything is super! And the sea is just around the corner.
I had a rest in February 2023.
I am extremely surprised by the enthusiastic reviews, I chose tk relative to people's reviews, but, as it turned out, our ideas about "excellent" are completely different.
Those who have ever been in the Turkish five with their diversity should immediately imagine that this hotel pulls Maxim on the Turkish two. Next in order:
PROS:
1. Close to the airport
2. Free shuttle to Dubai Mall and various Malls in Sharjah
3. Deluxe Sea View rooms are good: large, spacious, comfortable, giant bed, all bathroom accessories are available, replenished.
CONS:
1. Food: Diversity should be diverse, here diversity means that breakfasts will be different from lunches and dinners, but lunches and dinners are identical. To choose from vegetables - cucumbers or tomatoes, that's all. From fruits: melon or watermelon, and also everything. I also make salads from leftover vegetables from previous meals, which, of course, is logical, BUT I have come across rotten vegetables more than once..All juices are packaged.
2. Swimming pool: If the hotel is full, you will lie on each other's heads, and the pool will be approximately like a large bathtub.
3. The beach: Overall, the beach is not bad:sand, blue water, gentle entrance (50 meters to go to the depth). It is located so that the sun appears there only around 10 am, that is, if you want to sunbathe during "safe" hours, you simply cannot. + during my stay at the sea there was a storm, which entailed a large amount of garbage that was brought from the sea to the shore, no one cleaned it, there were also a lot of dead seagulls, they were also in no hurry to clean up, once on the 10th they agreed to clean up, but they were simply put on tables near the sunbeds,exactly where you usually put water, personal belongings and, possibly, food. Nothing has changed in 4 days.
4. Security: Bracelets are worn only by those who are All Inclusive, the rest are without, respectively, you can go to the hotel without problems from the main entrance (there is no security), from the beach, you can go to the beach from the public, there are also fire escapes on the side that are not guarded in any way and lead straight to the rooms. I also learned that for an additional fee, you can come to this hotel just to relax, that is, in fact, anyone can come and take something away. I didn't have that, but anything happens.
5. FOR CHILDREN: There is nothing. The playground and everything, that is, no mini clubs and so on. I'm without children, I don't care, but suddenly, someone will come in handy.
6. HALL: in the basement. Yes, it is not always possible to do it outdoors or with panoramic windows, but at least not in the basement and more pleasant.
7. ROOM: Saw a cockroach....
8. SERVICE: I didn't use it much, but there's not much help for you at the reception, not particularly friendly comrades)
I hope you get what you expect from your vacation)
I went on vacation with my daughter in August 2022. We had breakfast and dinner. Dinner can be changed for lunch. We changed dinner for lunch several times. (we went on excursions). Firstly, a very poor buffet. The food is the same. For breakfast, tea, coffee, sweets, etc. But at lunch and dinner THERE is NO WATER AT ALL!!! (no juice, no water, no tea, no coffee, NOTHING). I clarified, they told me that if you want to drink, you can buy it. How is that? I was sooo surprised. The hotel itself is not bad. The staff is responsive. But the fact that there is no water for lunch and dinner is the first time I have encountered. Next time I'll choose another hotel.
Nice hotel. Minus a small beach and a competition in the morning, take a sunbed and towels for the beach leave much to be desired. But in principle, I liked everything!
The review is hot on the trail.
We had a rest in December 2022, the food was breakfast/ dinner, as we arrived late in the evening for dinner, we were immediately told at the reception that lunch would be included the next day, since you did not have time for dinner.
The staff is very responsive, there are Russian speakers.
The rooms are cleaned acceptably, you can certainly do better.
The food is not very diverse, often what people have not finished at dinner is served for breakfast, a lot of locals come to the weekend, at least some variety in food begins (maybe it's certainly not related to this, but I doubt it very much)
There are a lot of Russian-speaking tourists.
Wi-Fi works perfectly throughout the territory, in fact, the territory itself is very scarce, do not walk around, left the room and immediately the beach, for someone it will be a plus, and for someone a minus.
There is no entertainment at all, the guy is an animator and two Russian girls, they disappear somewhere all day, and a couple of times a day they spend charging on this.
In general, for a very lazy and leisurely holiday, the hotel is very good.
We went to the beach of the hotel (rested in the next one). There are a lot of people on 1 square meter, so I took off the star, there is no such density in the neighboring one. In the corner of aerobics (there was no animation at all in our animation, milking me plus), a good playground for children, the external impression is good, the beach is excellent , a gentle entrance.
