At the end of the year we decided to have a rest in the UAE. The choice fell on the hotel in Sharjah Copthorne Hotel Sharjah 4 * Since we already rested there a year ago and we liked everything. The ticket was from 25.12. 2019.2. 01.2020 with NB meals (breakfast + dinner) with two beds. New Year's Eve gala dinner for two people was paid separately. We went from the tour operator_- Travel Professional Group. Upon arrival on 26.12. 2019 early in the morning we were met at the reception, we clarified about dinner for 25.12. 2019, which we paid for, and disappeared due to late arrival, we asked the manager Alisher to transfer it from 25.12. 2019 on 01.01. 2020, since it was paid for with us. Alisher rescheduled dinner for 1.01. 2020 by making relevant entries. After that, we were settled in room 1114, a large room, but very dark, gloomy, the windows overlooked the wall and, accordingly, it was always dark in the room, the water in the shower room was with low pressure and barely warm, the hair dryer was not in working order, there were no bathrobes It was. On request, the hair dryer was fixed and bathrobes brought the next day.
In the morning we asked to change the room due to all the inconveniences listed earlier.
The manager Alisher told us that they could change the number in 2 days. Arriving at the appointed time after 2 days, other managers refused to change the room, and we stayed on to live in this room. What was our indignation when in the evening I found a bug on my bed !! ! I was shocked! ! Bed bugs in a four star hotel! I went down to the reception in pajamas with a bug in my hand, my indignation knew no bounds! . The hotel manager took a picture of the bug on his mobile, the Russian-speaking manager Alisher came, to whom I told everything that happened, he asked why we were not moved to another room today? at our request earlier, to which we informed him that we were denied resettlement.
Within 15 minutes, we were found a new room on the 4th floor, much smaller than the previous one, with one bed, and with all accessories for one person, however, with a view of the lagoon (I didn’t want to look at the lagoon, there was no mood, and the glass of the window was everything is done with bird droppings). We moved to a room with one bed, room number 1418, because we did not want to stay in bedbug number 1114!
The rest was spoiled, the dream disappeared, as it seemed that the bugs were crawling and biting. No one from the hotel management came up with an apology. A representative of the tour operator Travel Professional Group-Jana is sitting in the hotel lobby, I approached her and described the whole situation with demanding compensation for moral damage from the hotel in the form of a refund for the gala dinner. Yana contacted the manager, she was told that they could not do this, the money came from Ukraine, and the calculation was not at the hotel directly, the refund could be from the amount that the travel agency transferred for the tour.
Yana promised that she would contact the sending party. The next day we were told that in the form of compensation we were moved to another room with improved conditions according to the hotel, with which we do not agree! After what we heard, we asked for a meeting with the hotel administrator and only a day later, 31.12. 2019, we met with her in the hotel lobby. We stood in the middle of the hall and she told us that she didn’t see anything wrong with the bug, which apparently was brought by the tourists in front of us who lived in this room. We were shocked by the reaction of the administrator, who smiled sweetly at us! She said that they changed your number, everything is fine…….
We said that we had asked for a room change before because our room 1114 had problems with water, etc…. The administrator simply listened to this information. And she said that we can write a letter to Travel Professional Group with a complaint.
We had to spend the time of our vacation on the beach for this whole procedure, which made us even more indignant, since the administrator was on site, they have photos, we were on site at the hotel. We told them to solve this problem themselves without us until lunch, while we were on the beach. The administrator said well, but returning to the hotel after the beach, no one decided anything, and we never saw the administrator again.
Yana, a representative of the Travel Professional Group tour operator, saw us and said that our issue was being resolved by superior people from the hotel and from the tour operator, that everything should be resolved in the near future! It was another scam! . This afternoon, instead of dinner, we went for lunch, changing our dinner with the permission of the restaurant administrator (dinner is more expensive than lunch), of course, he did not mind, because many guests do it without problems.
The food at the hotel is very poor, and many tourists who ate there can say this, saying their indignation at the reception and in the restaurant itself, the state of the restaurant also wants to be better, since all the furniture is already dirty and the walls too, which is not worthy for a hotel 4 stars. The package had breakfast and lunch, we paid $40 extra for the package for breakfast and dinner!
Upon check-out 1.01. 2020, we asked at the reception for time to collect suitcases until 18.00, since a lot of time and effort was spent on clarifying all the circumstances of the conflict. (among other things, we checked in a whole day later instead of 25.12. 19 -26.12. 19, especially when our tour company wrote and asked about it when booking the hotel) From 18.00 1.01. 2020 – 00.20 2.01. 2020, we were sitting in a dark hall with no communications, no internet, waiting for a transfer to the airport until 00:20. For everything that happened, we demand a refund of $ 200.
P. S. The worst thing is that the hotel administration, the tour.
the operator does not care about the people who come to the hotel, their health, their rest. Moreover, room 1114, where we found the bug, was not closed for disinfection ..... , but other tourists from Russia were accommodated in it, which shocked us! . It doesn't matter to the reputation of the hotel, the reviews of tourists, the rating of the hotel ..... we made such conclusions from the whole situation and the reaction to everything that happens.!!! ! Very sad and sad!
Happy New Year gentlemen!

Recently returned. First time in the UAE. We flew fly-Dubai from Zhulyan. Board worthy. But be prepared for the fact that the food is paid or a snack to go. Chairs are tight. Each has its own monitor for tracking the flight, height-adjustable headrest. Nice lighting on board. Arrived at 6 am, at the hotel around 9 am.

Recently returned. First time in the UAE. We flew fly-Dubai from Zhulyan. Board worthy. But be prepared for the fact that the food is paid or a snack to go. Chairs are tight. Each has its own monitor for tracking the flight, height-adjustable headrest. Nice lighting on board. Arrived at 6 am, at the hotel around 9 am. But the settlement is still not earlier than 13-14h. Breakfast was not fed, such an economy concept from the hotel management. I do not recommend a night flight, you will still hang around like poor relatives. Don't forget to put a change of clothes in your hand luggage. Prices in the bar and shops in the area are impressive. The guide was seen 1 time, excursions are expensive. Considering that the hotel has Wi-Fi without the Internet, and the viber does not work more than it works, stock up on WhatsApp, otherwise it will be a disaster. There is an Internet room, but there is no Russian language. In general, get ready for an information vacuum. Food - Enough HB. There was not enough in the schedule to go to the beach at 11 o'clock, because. to. at 10 o'clock not all people were placed. And you are left with a choice - either in 38 * heat on foot 20-30min (not 10min) or a taxi 11-15 dirhs or departure at 12h. We stopped at the almost virgin used / paid beach Lou Lou. Relaxing under the palm trees. Huge white sand beach. For several days there was a small storm, it did not interfere with swimming. No excursion. no office was found on the streets, a random "guide" Vohid did not even appear at the agreed time. Rustem (a Tajik living there), who was advised at the reception, brightened up our vacation. Arranged wonderful excursions to Dubai and Abu Dhabi. There were also in the mosque-flower and in the sheikh's palace, and in the Ferrari park; near Sail, on Jumeirah, near Atlantis, on Dubai Venice In principle, the hotel is normal, just in the heat you are limited in movement. There is no shuttle to Dubai at the hotel. The staff is helpful and polite. . Superior room, large, wardrobe and tea-coffee area (in a niche) with lighting, the refrigerator was very quickly changed to a working one. Thanks to the Russian-speaking girls - Daria, and then Ana. For the first time we see console-connected tables instead of nightstands. Because of this, there are few boxes, but they adapted. We were ready for local lighting, as in Egypt. In the mornings, when air temperature allowed, they ventilated the room (a slight smell of mold). The room has a folding dryer and a string over the bathtub, the hair dryer is fixed in the table. Everything worked. Very comfortable mattresses and headboards. The furniture is nice and new. We visited the gym and pool a couple of times. The restaurant has a great view of the bay. The room faced "nowhere", the neighboring building, but this did not bother us. This is the philosophy of life in Sharjah. A 25-30min walk from Copthorne Gold Market, fruit market and bus station (did not have time to use it), there is also a park and an embankment. Rustem suggested us the City chain store, so there are cheap fruits, and some little things, it is full of shops of different profiles with different price levels. I did not like that the transitions to the history were blocked. zone, on the peninsula. It is not possible to get around the bay (lagoon) on foot. There were closed events for a handful of Arabs. Like everything is nearby, but they won't let you in there. There is a fountain with illumination in the lagoon, but we did not understand its schedule. By the way, the hotel had no problems with the local population. all in mutual respect. In general, I fell in love with Sharjah. I'm still there. Go. This color and originality is worth seeing. Miami spitting image, only with mosques.

In general, the hotel is good. We really liked the room - big, clean, well furnished. The food is good, we had breakfast and dinner. On the territory of various entertainment for children, swimming pools. The minus, of course, is the remoteness from the sea, but we were taken to the city beach by free buses.

Even from this holiday there were pleasant memories of visiting the Ferrari Park. We took an excursion to this amusement park, as well as the Yas Watervold water park. The tour took a whole day, but thanks to good organization, we did not have time to get tired even during long journeys, as our guide entertained us as best he could, told a lot of interesting things, even the children listened to him with pleasure.

I DO NOT ADVISE!!! ! In general, I liked it, but there were three fly in the ointment, which at the end spoiled the whole impression of the hotels. I'll start in order. Rested with his wife and child in the period from 22.05. 11 to 29.05. 11. Arrived late in the evening, met well. I was surprised that at 11 pm traffic jams, or rather not a traffic jam, but very dense traffic at a speed of 40 km / h. When they settled in, they immediately asked for a view of the canal, before leaving they read in the reviews that there was a construction site and a mosque with the chants of the mullah on the other side. They gave it without problems, by the way, the room is excellent, unfortunately without a balcony, but in principle they are not in this hotel, as in most other hotels in the UAE. It seemed to me that the hotel is occupied by 25-30 percent. The contingent at our time of stay was 50/50 Russians/Arabs. There were almost no Europeans. Most annoying was the presence of the Arabs, I have never seen such impudent and ill-mannered people. Everywhere they climb without a queue, whether it's a breakfast bus or an elevator. The service staff is excellent, everyone is smiling, very friendly, it's so nice to leave a tip which they accept with great gratitude. Of the entertainment there is only a swimming pool and a sauna, there is no territory at all. The two pools are located on the terraces, on the east and west sides, it is very convenient, there is always sun or shade from one side, whoever needs what. The water in the pools is hot 32-33 degrees. As previously written here, you practically do not feel bleach, if there is very little. They take you to the beach by the hotel bus at 10-00, bring you and pick you up at 16-00. The maximum could withstand only until 14-00, the sun is not possible then. Therefore, we always returned by taxi, with our money a one-way trip is no more than 80 rubles or 7-10 derhams. I recommend that you go to the beach and also take a taxi by 9-00, at 10-00 there will be no sunbeds. Since the beach belongs to another hotel (Carlton seems to be the name) and there are vacationers who tend to take all the sunbeds in the morning. DO NOT FORGET to write out coupons in your hotels otherwise they will not let you on the beach. As for affordable gold, this is a myth, more expensive than in Russia. Things are cheaper, but not strikingly 15-30%. Probably there it is really interesting when the sales period. The malls are impressive in their size, a bunch of foot courts, taxis, electric cars. In Dubai mall, it is worth going to the aquarium, to the kotok (they locked the whole hockey stadium in a shopping complex). But the most interesting thing is the singing fountains. The spectacle is super, it starts at 18-00 and every half hour there is a different performance. The streams of water, light and music are so combined that in my opinion it is more interesting and more beautiful than fireworks. In Burj Khalifa (the tallest building in the world 828 meters) which is adjacent to the pier, we did not get in, 3 days before our departure, all tickets were sold. Therefore, if you are interested, book tickets immediately. There is an option to get in without a queue, but the price per person increases 4 times. Standard 100 derhams, without a queue 400, and this is 3200 rubles for an elevator ride, somehow a little expensive. Who was saying nothing special about the view from the plane at the time of landing. In Emirates Mall, the most interesting thing is the winter park. Ski slope, children's slides, very cool and relatively inexpensive. An interesting subway, where trains run without drivers, everything is run by a computer. The ticket is valid throughout the day not only in the metro, but also on the bus, and most importantly, you can’t get out without it, so don’t throw it away, otherwise you won’t be able to get through the turnstiles at the exit of the station. There are separate VIP carriages, they are probably more expensive, but I won’t say how much, there are tin seats for people in wheelchairs and a separate carriage for women and children. I myself saw how an employee of the subway escorted the men out of the car. The same story with the bus, the first door for women and children and the rest through the remaining two. By the way, a woman at her discretion can go with everyone. THE PROMISED THREE SPOONS OF OAR1. On the Internet, they say that in the UAE there are very large fines for garbage, apparently this is a myth. You take exactly a step to the side from the street into the alley between the houses and you understand how clean and wonderful it is here. I haven’t seen such dirt and garbage for a long time, I immediately remembered Cairo, which was filthy to the point of being impossible. The local population throws out bottles and packs of cigarettes from passing cars. In the water channels, of which there are several in Sharjah, packages, bottles, pizza float, in short, you can meet anything there. It is also likely that either sewage or some kind of technical water is discharged into them, because in the morning from the room we observed seething in the lagoon and foamy stains. To my surprise, some fish there. 2. The hotel provides a Bus (as they proudly call it a shuttle) to take you from Sharjah to Dubai. They are taken to two points City Center (this is also a Mall, but closer in size to ours), and Diera Tower. There is a schedule. We were somehow unloaded 200 meters further than the usual bus parking lot, as repairs were being carried out and some kind of cable was being pulled. I clarified with the driver that they would definitely pick up from a new place, he assured everyone that where he dropped off, he would pick it up there. As a result of 21-45, our bus flew past us without stopping, chasing it for a quarter did not give anything. As it turned out later, the driver changed, and forgot to tell the new one where to pick up tourists. Another tourist from Russia and I took a taxi, arrived at the hotel, and asked to be reimbursed for the expenses incurred. The money is not big, about 500 rubles, but the principle itself. We were assured that the problem would be solved and our money would be returned at 10 am tomorrow. . In short, I gave explanations two more times and so nothing was returned to us. 3. And now the most interesting. Three days before departure, I find a camera in a case on the bus. The pictures show that a woman with three children and apparently her mother rested in this hotel between April 13-17, maybe more, but the last picture was 17. I went to the reception and announced the find, they told me that no one had lost anything declared. I asked to see a family with 3 children in the guest lists for the specified period, which is rarely satisfied now and most likely there will be no coincidences. They assured me that they would definitely find out and tell me the last name, since we decided that it was imperative to return the camera to the owner upon returning home. Every day I approached and was interested, but they continued to feed me breakfast, as is the case with the bus. On the day of departure, when there were 40 minutes left before the transfer. Once again I went to the reception, then Varvara was on duty (she is often written about in the forums), for the third time I explained everything to her. She began to actively seek. At some point, a Russian-speaking Arab came up, heard a conversation about the found camera, at first he didn’t attach any importance, but then when he saw Nikon’s SLR around my neck, his eyes shone. He thought that we had found him and began to insist that we hand over the camera against his signature and they would return it to the owner themselves. I explained that since they dealt with our problem with the bus, I do not believe them and I am not going to leave anything, it was already a matter of principle. And then it started. The Arab called the security service, a bunch of people came running, everyone considers it their duty to tell us that we are simply obliged to give the find, otherwise, according to the laws of Sharjah, we will be subject to arrest. When there was about 15 minutes left before the transfer, the situation escalated to the maximum, they began to call allegedly the police. I took my things and the family went to the exit from the hotel, they timidly tried to stop me, but apparently my furious look made it clear that it was better not to touch me with my hands. We got into a taxi, but at that moment the hotel employees said something to him, and the driver refused to take us. Moved to another, same story. We took our things and walked a hundred meters from the hotel, caught another taxi and went to the airport. Passing by the hotel, the number of our taxi was recorded, and if it were not for the terrible traffic jam that happens here every Friday, we would have expected a chase. The airport was in Dubai, and this is already another state, and probably finding a camera is not such a crime that the police of another state would deal with it. ps I would like to add that when I left, I left my e-mail to Varvara, and a few days later she sent us the names of the intended guests (thanks again to her). They were compatriots from Moscow. Through the Internet, we were able to find them, call them and after the holidays we plan to send a fotik.

The hotel is just wonderful! Service, food, rooms, everything is just perfect! WE RECOMMEND TO EVERYONE! near the park where you can walk in the evening. Meals were taken half board, breakfasts are good, but monotonous, and dinners are simply beyond words! GREAT!! ! Beach hotels Carlton and Grand, where we were taken to the beach, did not stand next to our Millennium!.
