The hotel may not be bad, but the whole impression is crossed out by the sea

There was no time to think about where to go to rest, I just really wanted to go to the sea and therefore quickly and spontaneously chose the UAE and this hotel. We went with an adult son (26 years old) - thanks to him: he really wanted to take his mother to the sea to relax. We flew from Moscow to Sharjah with AirArabia, the flight time was 5 hours 40 minutes. Everything was as usual: we were transported from the airport by bus, vacationers were traveling with us, with a check-in at 5 more hotels. We drove for about an hour and arrived at our hotel at about 23.00. We were alone in this hotel, so we were quickly issued and we, accompanied by a hotel employee, went to our room. Yes, in the ticket we had a Cabana number and we were offered to change for a better option for a surcharge. But we initially refused, deciding to see and evaluate this number. We got room 430. The room itself is large, but . . 1 is dark, because
one small window closed with shutters, 2-furniture is all ancient, long in need of replacement, 3-wardrobe for clothes is not stern (no shelves), only a dress compartment with 8 coat hangers and a mezzanine at the top is inconvenient. In general, I am not a supporter of discussing the number when I go on vacation to the sea. I don’t get hung up on trifles, because I’m not going to sit and spend time in the room: it would be where to wash, take a shower and sleep well. And probably we would have stayed in this Cabana if not for the shower/toilet. Water flows onto the floor from the shower, you have to squeeze to the toilet (in the literal sense of the word) through the space between the sink and the shower, the tiles are some kind of old, dirty, no longer washed, unpleasant. In the morning we went to breakfast, and already firmly decided to exchange. We paid a lot of money for the rest, and did not want to put up with such inconveniences. Played to make a decision - the distance to the sea and the restaurant from our room. I have sore legs, it's hard to walk.
(although later, having gone through the entire territory, we appreciated that the standard rooms are even further away). The son quickly cranked out our relocation, and now we are already in room 234. This, of course, is "heaven and earth" in comparison with Cabana. Entrance/exit from 2 sides through panoramic windows-exit to the terrace. From the sea, 2 steps, to the restaurant, the same, and the pool, which is smaller than the main one, is also nearby.


SEA: always positioning, who goes for what (exactly for what). First of all, we went to the SEA, the sand on the beach and the sun! But I didn't get the sea. This system of ebb and flow annoyed me. Subsequently, we downloaded a tide map right by the hour and tried to navigate this way. But still, they constantly hung in the sea for hours, despite the ebb tides. We've come to the sea! I don’t understand those who travel so far and hang out in the pool. The sea is directly hot, but I like this more than cool water. I will definitely not go to this hotel again because of the sea (tides).
And the sea is always calm (bay), and I love the waves! The beach is long and wide. Very clean (did not see cigarette butts buried in the sand) and not crowded (? ). This is a big plus for the hotel. There are plenty of free sunbeds. I advise you to take the so-called aquashoes-coral slippers with you - it’s very convenient and without them I hardly swam in the sea at low tide, because there are algae under my feet, silt . . And ideally, in general, 2 pairs, some dry, others use. And then after dinner they do not have time to dry and it is unpleasant to pull wet ones.

FOOD: I liked it, although many write monotonous. I don't know, but I always found something new for myself. Always chicken, beef, fish, vegetables, salads, etc. I really liked fish, both stewed and baked, and in the form of cutlets / meatballs. Maybe there was not enough seafood: shrimp, crabs, squid, etc. But they came across in salads. Natural coffee from the coffee machine - for a fee, was it either instant / drip coffee maker -? . I tried burda.
But the hotel guide, Stanislav, I think his name is, maybe I'm wrong, seemed like an arrogant, arrogant young man, his tours are more expensive.

WI-FI is very good, stable throughout the territory, even by the sea.

The son went to the gym, he liked it, there were no people.


I will definitely not return to this hotel (I wrote above because of the sea). Another of the minuses: we arrived late, tired, hungry and nowhere to eat / eat. Could offer at least pizza, fruit. This is a big negative for the hotel. Still not enough (but this is in many hotels) hours on the beach, in the room. There is no information about the temperature of water, air (but these are trifles). Yes, and the room would be covered, the tiles are very slippery.
