This hotel interested us, first of all, because of its location - on the first line from the sea. There aren't many similar options for that kind of money. The hotel met our expectations 100% in this regard. When you leave your room, there is a swimming pool and a beach where there are no strangers. The view is beautiful, the water in the Persian Gulf is almost hot. The sand is white. True, he lacks cleaning - you periodically step on plastic lids or candy wrappers. Of course, this is on the conscience of tourists, but still the staff could monitor this more carefully. The staff was also pleasant. The reception representatives are polite and attentive, compliant on all issues. Initially, we were accommodated in the main building in a room with one bed, but we asked for a room with separate beds. Then we were moved without any problems to a separate chalet overlooking the sea. Thanks for this! Cleaning is daily. Towels are changed (although for some reason there is a sign in the bathtub saying that if you need to replace towels, then put them on the floor, and if you haven’t put them down, then we won’t replace them - the rule doesn’t work), shower gel and shampoo are renewed every two times day. I didn’t like the quality of Wi-Fi - it keeps dropping out even in the room. The situation is the same at the pool area; on the beach the Internet does not work at all. Didn't like the food at all. The buffet is monotonous, the dishes are not tasty, the choice is so-so. For lunch there is one type of soup, chicken, beef and fish are constantly repeated. Juices from tetra packs (and not Yuppies, as many people write. This is not true, I myself saw how they were poured from tetra packs!) only for breakfast, for lunch and dinner only tea, coffee, milk. No fresh fruit! Canned only. In the neighboring three-star hotel, according to tourists staying there, they provided fresh mangoes, melons, papaya, etc. for every meal. We were only offered watermelons, and not very tasty ones. This is quite strange for a 4 star hotel. An important plus in terms of food: if you have two meals a day, you can come to the restaurant for breakfast and lunch, or breakfast and dinner - it doesn’t matter, as long as it’s twice. There is a cafe on site where you can have a snack and drink soft drinks (juices, soda, water), but the prices there are not low, as throughout the country. For example, a cheese sandwich and two glasses of juice cost us 91 dihrams, which is almost 25 dollars. There are no free drinks there. It is clear that alcohol is prohibited in Sharjah, but that is not what we are talking about at all. That is, if you decide to spend the day by the pool or on the beach, then you have water from your room at your disposal (1.5 liters are supplied daily), or paid drinks - that’s all. Another negative is the ants. There are hordes of them in the room, nothing can show them off. There is no animation in the hotel. Nothing happens after sunset. Yes, and before him too. Your leisure time is in your hands. Overall, the hotel is not bad, but given the above-mentioned disadvantages, it does not deserve four stars, but a solid three.
