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!
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.
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)
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 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.
I liked everything very much, the food, cleanliness on the beach in the room everything is clear! At the reception, they will tell you everything, solve any problem. I recommend it!
We had a rest in August, the heat is full! In a word - kapets. The air temperature is +41, stuffy as in a bath. The hotel is nice on the first coastline, took a view of the sea. I liked the room. Water +30. The food is average, but you can eat enough, there were not enough French fries, fried chicken. The service is at the highest level, tips are begging for. The beach is excellent, clean, well maintained. The staff is friendly, there are Russian speakers. The rooms are too small, but it's okay. The location is excellent, shops are within walking distance, prices are affordable, there is also an exchanger. The territory is clean, often cleaned, everything is decent.
Lovely hotel. Rested on January 1-10 , 2023 . Delicious food. Quiet, quiet. There are 2 shops nearby, taxi to Sharjah , 7 minutes drive without traffic jams. A warm pool in January. Jacuzzi.

liked. The food is delicious, but somewhat monotonous. The rooms are clean, the staff is friendly. The location is convenient, there was a room with a sea view - very beautiful sunsets! I want to go back there again!
We had a rest in April 2023. The overall impression is good, but there are a lot of questions about the under-renovation of the room: the bathroom is old, sealed, and that's it. From the bidet on the floor to the toilet opposite there is a sanitary shower - so-so sight))) in the sink chipped, in general, they are trying to update the room stock - but it does not work (((but the restaurant is good! Especially comfortable chairs and serving. Everything is fine on the beach, too, very comfortable sun loungers. The location of the hotel is great. Now there is a big minus - there is no entrance to the main entrance - the entrance is being reconstructed, or rather. It started and everything was abandoned((
Everything is fine, except that the flight from Kazan is at night, you arrive at 7 a.m. and at the reception at the hotel you have to wait for check-in, which starts after 14 o'clock
The former Grand Hotel, now it is Occidental, this hotel is the most comfortable on the entire coast of Sharjah.
The hotel itself has become more comfortable and bright, the rooms are clean, the beds are soft, the bed linen is crisp and snow-white.
In this hotel you can take all inclusive , head.dinner.dinner. (buffet , different dishes , there is a choice)If you do not plan to leave the hotel and enjoy the sea and tranquility every day , then you are here , there is no city bustle here .
A free shuttle runs from the hotel to Dubai at lunch , in the evening it brings you to the place at the hotel . Excursions around Dubai are also available at the Reception and you can choose any one .. Have a nice rest for everyone .
I still leave reviews only when I can't help but write. I had a rest at the hotel in February.
Arrived early. They immediately gave me a card for the beach and told me where everything is located. They promised to check in as soon as the room was ready, although I didn't even have time to ask. Checked in a few hours earlier. The room was with a sea view: the picture is simply gorgeous. The room is spacious, the bed is king size. Balcony with table and chairs. Cleaned normally. Water and tea were replenished every day. Yes, sets in the bathroom for the entire rest period one at a time.
It is very convenient to use the hotel application for the phone. There were problems with the safe: I wrote in the application, everything was quickly fixed, there was no need to go anywhere and wait for anyone. There is also an entry for a bus to Dubai Mall. Fast and comfortable. All I could hear in my room was the sound of waves.
The bay in this place is shallow, so even in February the water is very warm. The beach is clean, sun beds, umbrellas, everything is enough. The pool is large, the water is warm. Due to the fact that the hotel is on the first line, you have time to go to the sea or to the pool, even if you leave early for excursions.
The restaurant is also well organized. Quickly cleaned, all dishes are heated, the chef constantly monitors the situation. The fruits were watermelon, melon, oranges, pineapples. Chocolate fountain.
A ten-minute walk from the Sharjah Aquarium and the museum with ships. It's small, but you can see it. It is located in a very beautiful place on the embankment and the ticket price is low.
There is an inexpensive supermarket near the hotel. There was no special need. I bought fruits: mango and strawberries. Cheap dates for gifts. It was calculated with cards everywhere.
The deposit was not taken at the hotel.
Since I was originally going to rest in Dubai, but all the hotels where I wanted to, went to the stop, the travel agency offered this hotel: good reviews from tourists, 10 minutes from Dubai airport, and it's not difficult to get to the center of Dubai.
As a result, this trip turned out to be one of the best. I didn't want to leave the hotel. It happens to me very rarely. Practically does not happen. I understood why people go to this hotel 10 times. I think this is understandable by the size of my review.)))
On the first line of three hotels with its own beach, the most expensive. A narrow strip of beach, the presence of a large number of people, more like an anthill. But... its own green zone, a slide in the pool and a good service for the money. With children, that's it!
My Favorite hotel in the Emirates!!!!
Here is the most gorgeous sea!!!!
Food for 4.
The staff is very friendly and polite!!!
From the hotel there are buses to Dubai Mall
Located at the entrance to Dubai .
The numbers have been updated.
They really observe covidmer))))
Breakfast is average…
I can't say anything about the pool, we swim only in the sea!!!
But 7 years ago we were in April, the sea was cool and we went to the pool and to great joy the pool was heated!!!!
It's not a bad hotel, but you have to choose a room with a sea view. On the other side of the road, it's very noisy all night, and the muezzins start their calls early. There is also no clothes dryer, this is also a minus
The beach is great, the food is not very good, but you won't be hungry, watermelons are always very tasty, melons are like grass. The staff is good Russian-speaking. The rooms are good. The territory is small.
Rested from 1.11.22 to 2.12.22 (not for the first time) Normal beach budget hotel, no complaints)Responsive staff, special thanks to manager Kristina.Guests from Altai (Barnaul) Kalnik Anatoly and Olga.Good luck!
Great hotel!we lived for a week on the basis of breakfast + dinner, the food is wonderful, varied.The room stock is slightly tired, but this did not affect our rest in any way.The first one is coastal with its own beach, there is also a pool with cooling.The staff is responsive and friendly.I definitely recommend it!
A very nice hotel on the shore of its own beach. We really liked everything!

The Pensioner's hotel. The exit to the sea is buried at 20:00 - the door is locked and that's it. You can not take rooms with a view not of the sea - there is an autobahn nearby. Trucks have been making critical noise since early morning.
The kitchen is very sparse.
The sea is normal. On the left there is a view of a distant city, on the right there is a cargo port or an oil terminal. There is a hot tub on the beach.
Taxi drivers at the hotel are cunning: their indistinct eighteen quickly turn into eighty. Be careful when ordering a taxi.
There is a free bus service to Dubai on schedule. Book a place in advance. Immediately upon check-in. Booking from the hotel program on the phone.
There is a Russian-speaking guide in the lobby - she helped us a lot.
A very wonderful hotel has everything and the beach , Jacuzzi, swimming pool, gym , spa , good service, staff all super recommend this hotel to everyone
Having lived in the hotel, he has been here since 2004. Apparently they wanted to give it for reconstruction, but they just gave it to Russian speakers (Kazakhs, Russians, CIS here). The hotel is inhabited by people who do not have money for Dubai. In general, if you think that this is 4 I hasten to disappoint you, this is a solid 3 . Tours are sold to you here for a lot. It's not worth it. The food is passable, the beach is sand, the staff is well-trained, the room is clean, but the candeias smell damp, mildew and they will make your throat tickle. To the Emirate mall 120 dirhams by taxi. The price /quality does not match.
The first acquaintance with the Arab Emirates began with this hotel. At the reception, the attentive receptionist explained everything. Room 223 is good. The view in the opposite direction from the sea made it possible to quickly dry wet swimsuits. The room is cleaned daily with a change of linen and towels. I really liked the girl Kristina, who recorded guests for breakfast and lunch. Very attentive and charming! Food, of course, for 3. Cut oranges from fruits. There are no drinks for lunch and dinner, only for money. There is only one type of soup for lunch, and porridge for breakfast, it is not possible to choose another.
But clean. All employees are friendly.
It is upsetting that for extra money to the staff of the beach, some vacationers occupy sun beds in advance. Coming to the beach in the morning, which is the property of the hotel, you may not find a free place. Towels have already been laid out on all the sun beds.
I am pleased with the free transfer to the major malls, which departs at a certain time from the hotel and will also bring you back.
Customer orientation is at the highest level. We had a big family vacation (me, my husband (his sister with her husband and mom) and daughter. We lived in rooms for two (husband and I, mother-in-law and daughter, sister and husband), a couple of days before departure, my daughter said I want to come with you, we were provided with a bed in our room. Although this is not provided for under the terms of the tour. The food is on the level, well, in general everything is fine)it's a pity that it's only a week)
A hotel for a relaxing family holiday! The rooms are nice, large. The sea is gorgeous. The food is certainly so-so. Cleaned well. Of course there are disadvantages, but when you drive on the positive side, you don't focus your attention.
