Wonderful vacation and hotel!
There were 19.05-29.05.24
We are happy with everything - a renovated room on the 4th floor, a warm Persian Gulf - not yet hot boiling water, but already like fresh milk, high-quality low-fat \ not spicy food (FB), free transfer to the Dubai Mall.
Thank you so much for the positive emotions and good service!
We had a rest a few years ago with my mother and child. We took a two-room room, in a separate building.
The room is nice, spacious.
The entrance to the sea is flat, the sea is clean. There was enough room for everyone on the beach.
The pool is cool, there is a slide.
The restaurant is not big, the choice is not very big, but everything is delicious. You can buy smoothies and fresh juices for an additional fee. There is no alcohol in the hotel. Not even a corkscrew)) Bought in a store nearby to open wine from dutifrey)
There's nothing to do at the hotel after dinner. The territory is small.
There is a fruit shop next to the hotel.
The hotel is suitable for a relaxing holiday.
The hotel is old, but comfortable, everything works in the room. The location is great! The beach, the pool are great. The food is of high quality without frills, but quite diverse and in sufficient quantity. The price/quality combination is good. In any case, here you feel like in a beach hotel, and not like in Dubai on the canals. The disadvantage is the unkemptness around the hotel. I recommend the hotel for a relaxing beach holiday. The staff is trying, friendly, room cleaning is normal, the bed is comfortable.
Nice hotel. Spacious rooms. We had a room with a sea view. There is a kettle in the room, tea and coffee. Daily 4 bottles of water (0.5 liters each). balcony with armchairs. The hotel is clean, the staff is friendly. The food is delicious, but monotonous. There is always a choice. There is a children's menu... the beach is big, there are enough rods. 2 swimming pools - children's and adult, slide, Jacuzzi. Every day there is a free bus to shopping centers. The price is adequate. There are almost no foreigners. The staff speaks Russian. The hotel is not a party - for a relaxing holiday.
There were two times. The rooms were taken with a view of the sea, the sound of the surf is simply amazing, 50m from the hotel and you are already in the water. The rest leaves much to be desired, the rooms are quite old, especially the bathrooms. According to nutrition, 3-4 points, there has always been little fruit, it is monotonous, but in principle you will not stay hungry.
The third time we rested in the Emirate of Fujairah, I liked it more, I recommend the hotel Le meridien hotel spa5*, all rooms are on the sea, the territory is green, the coastline is 1.5-3km. Gorgeous! But from the airport it is 2h20, but the transfer is prompt, fast and almost VIP, depending on when the check-in was in early May
Of the advantages, only the beach, very average food and the territory. The rooms are so tired that it's just not pleasant to be in them. Like a camera. Old-fashioned, out of repair, very gloomy. The Russian-speaking staff is just rude. The child was expected to check in for more than 4 hours. 20 rooms were occupied, and with the baby - the last. Tourists are mostly Russian-speaking, elderly people and families with children. It is very similar to Sochi in the 70s. Such a good chain is just a dead hotel. Longing for a lot of money. And the advertising is done professionally. I do not recommend it.
The hotel, in general, was chosen by chance. The main task was a beach holiday and the opportunity to get out somewhere, preferably in Dubai. The hotel coped with both tasks. This is a magnificent 4* hotel on the first line, with a beautiful sandy beach and the same entrance to the sea (I don't know if there are others in the UAE ...). Good beach infrastructure: sun beds, umbrellas, towels, swimming pool - included in the price. Fish underfoot, sometimes crabs run out to amuse people, beautiful sunsets.
Half-board was taken for meals. The breakfasts are a bit monotonous but sooo plentiful. Lunch or dinner is very tasty. The choice of dishes is quite large, at least 4 hot dishes, not counting side dishes. Unfortunately, drinks were not included in lunch and dinner, but we had fun on delicious watermelons, and a supermarket is a 2-minute walk away.
The rooms themselves are very spacious, the plumbing is all new, the beds are comfortable, there are a lot of pillows, the air conditioning can be customized. The reception staff is mostly Russian-speaking, opposite is a travel agency where Nargiz will help you choose local tours. From what is nearby: the aquarium and the Museum of the sea. I recommend going both ways, even if you plan to visit the Dubai Mall for the aquarium there. Nearby is the city center with cafes and restaurants, a little further is the golden bazaar, a promenade and a square with fountains. In general, for a study trip and for a somewhat tight budget, the hotel is just the thing. He works out his 4* for all 5.

A nice hotel with a new renovation. High-quality cleaning. Delicious food. There are Russian-speaking staff. There is not enough water to drink. 0.5 liters per person per day are brought to the room. The restaurant offers free drinks only for breakfast. I had to buy water at the store. There is almost always smoking by the pool. This is inconvenient. After the storm, there is a lot of garbage and dead fish in the sea. In summer it is very hot, at +40 C and humidity feels like + 50 C. I recommend visiting the hotel
A super hotel. The sea shore, supermarkets,restaurants are within walking distance. You can take a taxi to shopping centers. You can get to Dubai by hotel bus and taxi. The hotel is clean and beautiful. Updated rooms. Nice beach. Comfortable new sun beds.
A quiet family-run hotel.
Convenient access to the sea.
The staff is responsive, there are employees from Russia.
The cuisine is varied.
Everything is clean.
Not far away there is an amusement park, an aqua park, a marine museum and an aquarium.
I liked the hotel. The room was on the city and I didn't even regret it, it was very beautiful, especially in the evening everything glows. I had the 5th floor
We had a rest in mid-December. A great hotel with a beautiful beach. The water is clean, sometimes there are waves. In windy weather, especially after 15.00, the pool with warm water helps out. The rooms are spacious. The only drawback is that there are no dryers for swimsuits on the balcony, but this did not become a problem for us, since we always carry a rope and clothespins with us. We helped out a lot this time too. The food is varied and of high quality, there are always fresh juices for breakfast: orange, mango, apple, or multifruit. For lunch and dinner, delicious and varied soups, 2 types of meat, fish, awesome cakes and a chocolate fountain was always put on for dinner. The most important feature of the hotel is its own beach with white sand and azure water. A 10-minute walk from the hotel is a beautiful Aquarium, the ticket price is 25 dioramas (approximately 425 rubles) and the ship museum, which is included in the same price. I recommend the hotel.
Excellent hotel, polite and understanding staff, half of them speak Russian. A varied and delicious diet, a fairy tale buffet. The hotel is beautiful and cozy, the rooms are clean, there is air conditioning, cleaning every day, the room has everything you need. A big plus is the sea on the territory of the hotel, leaving it there is a large swimming pool, Jacuzzi, a large number of sun beds and the sea itself.
The hotel must be great... The food is so-so... It's the same thing every day, you can do better for a hotel of this level. The beach is nice, the sea is clean... The nicest people. These are the ones who met and settled... number 923 does not work at all... They didn't even put soap or shampoo in there...
A good hotel, the food is delicious, varied, the meat is tender, the juices are different, fruits. There are many sun beds on the beach, even if you come not early, you can get settled, and if you take off a bed with curtains for 50 dirhams, you will be like a king all day. I recommend it!!!
I really liked the hotel. I had less than a day here, but the administration went to a meeting. Tomorrow, at my request, it was postponed and done on the day of arrival. I had a standard room with check-in at 15.00. I was checked in at 8.00 and given the best suite in the hotel with 2 rooms and 2 balconies overlooking the sea. I am very very pleased. The breakfast is great!
We stayed at this hotel from 06/04/2024 to 06/11/2024 (two families with children 11 years old).Reading the negative reviews, we were very worried, but in fact the hotel is great!We arrived at about 11.30 am, we were immediately checked in. Many thanks to manager Narek for putting us in a nice room with access to the pool. The rooms are large, clean, cleaned every day, and water, tea, and coffee are replenished daily.
The beach is gorgeous, wide, there are always enough free sunbeds. The bay is warm (we were scared that it would be hot at this time). There is a cooled pool with a slide that worked constantly, not according to schedule as in some countries. The children really liked the pool).
We took breakfast and dinner. Power is also on solid 5. Special thanks to the chef. In the first days of our vacation, he went out to the gym every day and personally checked everything, then disappeared somewhere) Breakfast is always porridge, scrambled eggs for every taste, natural juice and many other delicious dishes. We often replaced dinner with lunch, because in the evening we went for a walk. Drinks are not included at lunches and dinners, but we knew this in advance. There is always a children's menu (simple pasta without sauce, boiled potatoes, vegetables). Watermelons, melons, oranges are always made of fruits. Several times there was a chocolate fountain (melons in chocolate are very tasty), popcorn. In general, you can always find food for every taste!
Special thanks to all the staff, really always with a smile and a positive attitude, any issue was resolved instantly.
The only drawback is the transfer to the Dubai Mall. We haven't been able to sign up once. But in any case, we went to Dubai at a convenient time for us, adjusting to no one. We did not use transfers to Sharjah, I cannot say about them. To the center of Sharjah (where the fountains are) a taxi cost 15 derham, if you catch it on the street, it's a little more expensive from the hotel. There are a lot of taxis, there are no problems with this, always on the counter.
The tour was taken once for a sightseeing tour of Dubai from Nargiz on the 1st floor (the cost was the same as on the Sputnik8 website, for example). If possible, it is better to take individual excursions so as not to wait for anyone. With other excursions, we did so in the future.
We really liked the hotel and the rest in general, we will definitely return to the UAE and Sharjah in particular. I will definitely recommend this hotel to my friends.
The hotel itself is not bad, it has a nice room, spacious on the minus ground floor, the food is delicious.But the Russian receptionist is rude, of course!
On the day of departure, they were not allowed to have lunch, although we had breakfast and lunch or dinner.our flight was in the evening, but we only had breakfast

The service suffers a little, but the location is good, the beach is clean, and if you ask, they will do everything at once, but I would like everything to be right away.
The hotel has its own transfers to the centers, Malls, etc., the place can be booked through the application (at the reception QR code to install).
The rooms are normal, but again, disposable toothbrushes constantly had to be asked, the kitchen is decent, everything is there, everything is delicious. Sharjah is the most conservative traditional Muslim area, so it is always quiet and strict here: no alcohol, no kissing and hugging in public, do not forget about it!
First time in the country, first time in a hotel. There are a lot of impressions, all positive! The hotel is small, cozy, excellent access to the sea, you can walk along the coastline. The food was delicious and varied. It is located near the airport, Dubai, which is very convenient. The only negative is the repair of the central entrance, which did not annoy us at all. The staff is friendly, smiling, ready to help with all issues. Thank you all so much for your hospitality! The photos speak for themselves)))
A small but very nice hotel on the shores of the Persian Gulf. 8 km from Dubai Airport.
Good service, responsive staff (speaking Russian), delicious food and good housekeeping.
Well-groomed beach, sun beds and umbrellas in sufficient quantity. There is a swimming pool, Jacuzzi and a children's water slide. On your own, you can visit the Aquarium, the ship Museum (10 minutes on foot) and small restaurants.
The hotel has a free shuttle service to major shopping centers, pre-registration at the reception.
Vacationers are mostly Russian-speaking, locals come for the weekend.
A calm atmosphere and good service will suit visitors with children and age category.
I recommend the hotel for a good holiday in the UAE!
A great hotel, the renovation was done on the 4th and 5th floors, but the rest is clean, a little tired repair, but we went for the sake of the sea, and did not lie in the room. The food is delicious, you will not stay hungry. The sea and the beach are clean, the rooms have views of the beach and the city, both are fantastic. It's dawn on the city, and the sea is rolling
The golden mean is the beach hotel and at the same time, you can get to all the interesting places quickly. The level of the hotel is very decent, the service is excellent. Restaurants are a tower, the food quality is super.
The hotel is clean and cozy, the sea and the shore are just a paradise for children! The food is edible, top for your money. Everyone speaks and understands Russian. Some advantages are a free bus to Dubai Mall and back.
Great hotel, solid four.
The food is at a height, the menu is constantly updated, the perfect beach, very convenient location, the sea is 15 meters away and most places in Sharjah can be reached inexpensively by taxi.
I really liked the hotel, the staff, the location. The rooms are spacious, everything you need is there. Every day they bring 2 bottles of water, they are cleaned. When we first checked in, we couldn't open cold water in the shower, they called, an employee was sent to us almost immediately, he opened it.
I would like to add a dryer or just ropes to the balcony to hang wet clothes.
The only nuance, the Russian-speaking employee Victoria at the reception did not try to help, avoided any interaction, was not friendly.
The hotel is located right on the shore of the strait, the water is clean, you can see crabs and fish. Fish do not bite and do not pinch.
You can buy delicious smoothies and ice cream on site. There is a supermarket near the hotel where you can buy tropical fruits from Thailand. Also in a 10-minute walk there are a couple of delicious cafes serving delicious huge portions.
I liked the fact that cats walk on the territory of the hotel, they have their own house 🥰
The hotel cooks very tasty, the staff is friendly.
We will definitely come again! ☺️
A wonderful hotel: we arrived early and the rooms were not ready yet, and our luggage was placed in the luggage room, we were given cards for towels and we went swimming and sunbathing. The room is provided with 0.5 water per person every day, and they are cleaned every day too. The food in the dining room is very tasty, there is a buffet for every taste.
A great place to relax. Many come back here. But there are nuances. Rooms with windows on the city are noisy even through double-glazed windows-the noise comes from the air conditioning unit in front of the hotel, the breakfasts are excellent, the staff is polite, the beach is excellent, there are transfers to the shopping center, Tue. h. Dubai Mall, it's a pity that they don't take you to the Deira City Center now. The location is excellent, but again, it is not customary to walk around the Emirates-sand, mud, lack of hiking trails and just scorching heat. In general, the price-quality ratio is still a little too high.
I will begin my story in order. I say right away, it will be long. We arrived at the hotel from 05/26/2024 to 06/3/2024 in room 233.
We arrived at the hotel at 9 a.m., two adults and a child of 8 years old. At the reception we were told that there are no available rooms, of course, because check-in takes place at 15.00. We decided to go to the beach. This is not the first time in this hotel, so we prepared before departure, put beach things closer. There was no limit to happiness when after 20 minutes they came up to us and offered to check in, for this the fattest "+" to this hotel, but ... there is always but, we had 3 meals a day paid, the guy from the reception said that today we are supposed to, REMEMBER!, either lunch or dinner. This alerted us, we came up to clarify once again, said that we had breakfast-lunch-dinner meals, to which he once again said that we were supposed to have either lunch or dinner on the day of arrival!We were checked in early, it was time to go to the store (it's across the street, 3 min walk, near a pharmacy) and buy something for lunch, since we decided to go to a restaurant for dinner).
The room stock, basically, is not new rooms, slightly tired, if we talk about the room, it is quite on its 4 pulls, but the bathroom urgently needs repair. There are a lot of black spots on the seams between the tiles and on the sealant. After taking a shower, I went out into a huge puddle on the floor... I found a hole in the sealant between the bathroom itself and the glass partition, into which all the water from the watering can flowed down the bathtub to the floor, besides the watering can itself was leaking. BUT, and this is again a "+", after contacting the reception, the shower head was replaced within an hour.
Now let's move on to equipping the room, we had a reservation for 2 adults and a child of 8 years old. If only for one extra bed for a child, I would go to this hotel. A normal full-fledged bed for an adult. There were all the accessories for 2 people, and there were no slippers at all, but we quickly ordered 3 pairs of slippers, 1 more set of towels and 1 more tea pair for the child through the application. Depending on the shift, we were replenished with a tea table for 2 or 3 people, mostly for 2, although it was clear that 3 people lived. Water is replenished every day (1 bottle of 0.5 liters per person per day). In conditions of heat +35, this is catastrophically small, but the benefit is a supermarket nearby and the price of water for 1.5 liters is 2.5 dirhams.
Cleaning is done every day, towels are changed every day. But one small nuance, the floor on the huge balcony is not washed at all, and therefore, when you return to the room after the balcony, it becomes dirty. The floors in the room are washed every day, I almost always watched the cleaning in my room, it just so happened🤷🏼♀️
Basically, on the first day we eliminated all the shortcomings of the room and then had a quiet rest. Because we came to rest, and not, like some, to be constantly dissatisfied with even the smallest detail.
Sun beds on the beach (I'm talking about those under a fairly large wooden canopy, let's say the most "top" places) as in a good Turkish hotel, they are already busy at 6.30, but we almost always arrived at 8 and could take sun beds under small umbrellas. I don't know if it's true or not, but the guests say that for a certain fee to the beach staff, they can be asked to take the "top" places🤔 It's a pure lie (I read somewhere that they clean) that employees clean towels if they see that guests are gone for a long time, no one is watching this. There were a couple of days when we spent the whole day on the beach, and those very towels on the "top" places lay all day, but no one came, they are called neither themselves nor people, in a word pigs🤷🏼♀️ This is a fat minus, rather than for the hotel, but for the low education of vacationers (they are not cunning, but just wild).
The territory of the hotel is small, clean, 1 large and 1 children's pools, as well as a Jacuzzi. There is a slide. Russians are more at sea, foreigners are by the pool.
70-75 percent of the vacationers are Russian. The staff speaks Russian well enough (given that they are not native speakers).
For the management who reads the reviews, just a huge thank you and a low bow to the young man from the reception, whose name is Samith, when I saw him at the workplace, I knew for sure that either I would have no problems at all that day, or if they appeared, he would solve them all. He is as loyal to customers as possible, he will always find a way out of the situation, he will always help. If possible, give him a bonus!
Information for Russian tourists, look for the name Samith on the badge, it will solve all your problems!
The restaurant is always greeted with a smile. The dishes are maximally adapted to Russians, there are always 3-4 types of meat and fish, 7-8 varieties of desserts, steamed dishes in the middle of the hall behind the aquarium. The most important thing is that there is always something to feed any child. In the morning, there is always tea/coffee, juices and always freshly squeezed orange juice. For lunch and dinner, all drinks are paid, an average of 20 dirhams per glass.
If you've noticed, there's always a BUT…
Dinner until 22.00, that's what I mean, there are wild traffic jams from Dubai to Sharjah, from 1.5 to 2.5 hours.
We went on excursions and once we didn't get to dinner at all, we arrived at 22.35, the second time we flew in with a bullet at 21.57 (the main thing is to run before 22, then dinner will be), and the third time, by the way, we arrived by hotel shuttle from Dubai Mall, we ran at 21.40.
Dear management, there are many of us, make dinner before 23.00, or at least until 22.30
The hotel has a souvenir shop on the 1st floor, I must say the prices were pleasantly surprised, quite adequate👍🏻
If you read the review carefully at the beginning, then I specifically focused on nutrition on the first day, we were allowed to eat only 1 time. The day before departure, I decided to clarify, on the day of departure, we are supposed to have breakfast and lunch, because on the first day we ate 1 meal, and we have 3 meals a day. In general, it turned out that on the day of arrival we were supposed to have lunch and dinner, and on the day of departure only breakfast. If we had gone to a restaurant twice on the first day, I wouldn't even have any unnecessary questions, on the day of departure I would have claimed only breakfast, I can count. On the first day, we were oriented incorrectly, and a young man named Samith had to sort out the problem again, at his own risk! For which I am very grateful to him, it's just a lifeline of this hotel, he wrote us a card for lunch. I didn't need anything extra, I wanted to get what I paid for.
To sum up: a hotel for a relaxing beach holiday, more family friendly. In general, the impression of rest in this department remained good) Thank you to all the staff for your work!
Great hotel. Nice rooms, delicious varied food, cleaning every day. The staff is responsive. I would especially like to mention the beach, clean white sand, transparent sea. I recommend it to everyone
Great place. Very nice and clean beach without garbage. The purest water. Lots of good sun beds, umbrellas. The rooms are in good condition, air conditioning works, cleaning every day. Polite reception staff. Always ready to help. There is no territory as such. Only the hotel and the beach itself. The hotel itself has a gym for group programs and for strength training. There was no animation at the time of the visit at all (however, this did not spoil the sensations at all).
A kitchen with a small selection, but excellent (as of October 2022) quality. The only negative in the restaurant is wild Russian grandmothers. The contingent was 95% Russian-speaking, a couple of English and German families, on weekends - locals come for the weekend.
In general - for your money, especially with early booking - an excellent choice (my wife and child have already been there three times).

The excellent location of the hotel, a beautiful beach with clean fine sand, friendly and hardworking staff, always ready to help, the cuisine is varied, everyone will find something to their liking, I recommend this hotel🔥👏🏻
I am resting for the second time in this hotel. I really like. Near a great beach, sand, warm Bay. The hotel is clean, cleaning every day. The food is enough, the choice is sufficient. I just don't like that there is no water, drinks, tea, coffee for lunch and dinner. So I wanted to calmly drink tea with such delicious desserts at dinner. If there is an opportunity, then definitely only to you!
A good hotel for an economical holiday. The sea is nearby , the beach is clean . A mixture of sand and small shells .
Now the hotel is repairing the entrance, so to enter through a stuffy parking lot that
Not very convenient. But soon everything will be repaired. The rooms are old, tired, but clean. All with a balcony. It's not even bad for picky tourists. The breakfast was not very varied, but satisfying. Porridge, eggs, cereals, yogurt, fruits , vegetables , hearty dishes are all there . The pool is large and children 's with a slide . There is a convenience store nearby. The hotel is more for family holidays . But it will also be appropriate for a couple.
A magnificent hotel! The cleanliness is perfect. Excellent attitude of the staff. Great food. A huge selection. the room is huge, we had a sea view. It's not a pity to pay a little more for this view. Mostly Russians are vacationing, they felt at home!
A wonderful hotel for families with children. The food is delicious, the view from the window is amazing, the sea is amazing.
I had a rest with my daughter of 3 years, I liked everything. There is a children's pool and a slide, a small playground under a canopy, but we did not use it.
As a small minus, this is room cleaning, but on request they can wash it again.
Otherwise, everything is fine
A good hotel, just a little bit and you can give a solid 5 stars. So far, it's a stretch. The kitchen and staff are gorgeous, no complaints. If you don't want to sit in the lobby during the nausea from acclimatization, then it's better to fly in the afternoon.
Nice beach hotel. I liked the pool, the Jacuzzi by the pool, the beach. The breakfasts are varied. It should be borne in mind that there are no conditions for hiking, the hotel is located in a place more like a wasteland.
We are currently resting at this hotel. Of course, the hotel is not bad, but it is clearly not a foursome. There are no questions about food and cleanliness.
But the room stock is already old enough. The bathroom has bad plumbing (old), rust is falling, furniture, especially on the balcony is old, garbage is constantly pouring out of it. Mattresses and pillows are very uncomfortable, especially for people with a bad back. By the way, clothes dryers are not provided on the balcony, so who cares what, they were dried mainly on rods, which are intended as protection from birds. We live on the 2nd floor. Perhaps the rooms above have already been renovated.
Well, here's another bonus, for the second evening in a row, after 21:00 there are some classes in the pool for children, and yesterday there were competitions. And they ended only at the beginning of 12 pm. It was such a pleasure when I came to rest. Constant shouting and whistling. In general, the third three to the hotel. Of the vacationers: the elderly and families with children. There is no entertainment here. I got the feeling Egypt 4* is only very expensive😂 we definitely won't go a second time.
I want to add a few days later: the children's classes in the pool after 21h turned out to be a constant practice, the parents were at this hotel in February, it was every day. So it's better to either take a room with a view of the city, or choose another hotel
In this hotel we rest 5 times.(price-quality ) the food is good, the 5th floor of the hotel is renovated, everything is clean, well maintained everywhere. Chef Moses is trying very hard, and the hotel staff is very responsive (Summit, Harun, Anastasia, and the rest of the staff are well done) will not leave without attention.
