There was a week in April 2024. Really the best beach on the coast. The small hotel was built in the 70s, but clean, tidy and renovated. Separate 5 stars for the staff, they will always help. Room service is above praise, especially for a 4-star hotel. We took two chalets with sea views. On the ground floor, they complained of a slight dampness in the evening. I liked everything on the second one. The rooms have standard bath kits: shampoo, gel, lotion, cap, nail file, cotton swabs, bathrobe, slippers, towels. There is a safe in the room, a mini-bar, a table book, standard booklets with a restaurant schedule, a blackboard, an iron, scales, a set of threads and an adapter in the socket by the bed. They cleaned well every day. For a family holiday, a quiet, great place with a wonderful, affordable location.
We had a rest from 06.04 to 12.04.2024, We really liked everything! Deluxe room, quite satisfied. The beach is gorgeous, the sea is clean, gorgeous, I'm in love. The location is very good, 10-15 minutes to Dubai. There is a port nearby. To take a sunbed with an umbrella, you will have to get up early, but this is everywhere. The cleaning is absolutely normal, there is no mold in the room. Before leaving, I read a lot of reviews and got upset. But in fact, I had a great rest. There are 0 complaints about the hotel, although I am quite picky. The food is good, of course, without frills, but everything is there and the food is delicious! Some people write that the food is terrible, it's not true. Maybe these people have been vacationing in luxury hotels and are comparing. In the emirates, vouchers to such hotels cost from 500 tons. I am very grateful to the staff, they always helped, answered questions. Everyone was satisfied with the rest!!! I would like to express my gratitude to the Sharjah Carlton Hotel and its staff!
We stayed at the Carlton Hotel in late March and early April.
We were in the UAE for the first time.
Of the advantages :
1 great location
2 the beach itself with fine sand is super
3 The Persian Gulf is beautiful.
4 relatively quiet
5 the hotel has a shop with date sweets, very tasty. For a normal price. Sellers gave sweets to all passing people.
6 the staff is quite attentive. If you don't like the room, then honestly the next day they can move you to a better room. We didn't change it. Everything was fine with us.
7 The room's air conditioning did not fail
8 shampoos, gels, soaps - I replenished everything daily, no matter how many hygiene products were left.
9 towels were changed every day, basically.
Minuses
1 for me, the biggest fat disadvantage was nutrition. I'm not a pretentious tourist, in terms of food. I usually don't fall for reviews like "food for 3, poor, nothing to eat", but this was not the case. There was really nothing to eat on some days. There was a feeling that the cooks alternated: one day everything was delicious, the next it was completely inedible. There is a very very poor selection of dishes.
2 dead sunbeds and umbrellas on the beach.
3 the hotel was undergoing renovation during our visit, my husband and I did not know about it. I couldn't sleep at lunch.
4 with beach towels - the trouble is: you can't take them to the room, if you hand over raw, then they won't give you a new one that day.
Probably, for me, that's all of the cons.
Would you come back to this hotel again? I think so, if the food had improved and the sunbeds from the umbrella and on the beach had been updated.
