We are currently resting in this hotel. Previous reviews are mixed - a lot of negative and a little upset before the trip. But now they are very happy.
In order. Arrival was at Sharjah airport, we were traveling only together with my husband. We arrived at the hotel around 21:00 local time. At the reception, we have not yet met anyone who speaks Russian, but... GOOGLE is to help us. And there is a Russian-speaking representative of the travel agency offering excursions, he helps. Thanks to him!
The number was given immediately. But they asked for another number, because. the one they gave was near the road. We were immediately changed to another one, closer to the Holiday Hotel, by the same owner (now it is being renovated, but inside the villa you can’t hear it and the noise doesn’t interfere). Habib from the reception took an electric car to our villa. The room is large, with kitchen appliances (microwave, refrigerator) and utensils (knives, forks, large spoons, plates-all of 4, a small spoon, cups, glasses). There is an extractor hood and I open the window when I cook (we only have breakfast). Pot and frying pan brought on request (2-burner induction cooker is just a dream! ). A large hall with good lighting (in the bedroom too), a large window on the entire wall. Soft corner sofa. TV, dining table with 4 chairs. Bedroom with high and large bed. Great mattress. Chiffonier. TV - for 2 weeks they have never been turned on. There is an ironing board and iron. It's not hot inside. All villas have been renovated and the walls have been insulated with a special material so that they do not warm up. Very comfortable. There is access to the lawn. The bathroom has a complete set: 2 large and small towels, shower products, shampoo, hair conditioner, body lotion, soap. Replenish as needed. There is a hair dryer. Towels are changed - did not fix the frequency.

I wrote a review, did not immediately publish it, and then in recent days there have been problems with towels. At first they did not report one for the hands. Then there were no two for hands. None yesterday! I called the front desk and they brought it 20 minutes later. All are clean. Today we come from the beach, there are no both for hands. What's the problem all of a sudden? The husband went to swear at the reception, they say no problem. So it's about the cleaners (I ran quickly with all four - they took it only for hands). We left them a dollar. The husband is angry, he said, that's it, they won't get anything.
Habib brought bathrobes and slippers upon request. Also a clothes dryer. Take clothespins - there are winds.
The windows are tinted. During the day, even with the lights on, you can't see what's going on inside.
In front of the house there is a terrace and a table with chairs. From the road, and some villas from neighbors, fenced off with a hedge of tall bushes. Lawns in front of each villa. Sheared. Watered every day. In the morning we open all the doors - wonderful air. We live like in a country house!
The reception is normal, they respond to our requests and problems. We call by phone (dial 0).
TERRITORY. Birds sing in the morning. Many villas are occupied by local residents, but we can't hear their cars. They wrote in the reviews that on their weekends - Friday and Saturday - it is very noisy here: barbecue, parties until the morning. But so far we haven't come across this. No one fries near the villas. There is a specially equipped place for this near the fence, below the pool. Everything is very civilized: barbecue, tables with marble countertops, a sink with water. Yes, if they do, they cause inconvenience to those villas that are nearby.

SEA. They take buses to the city beach. Standing is not taken. Another bus is being served. From 10 to 13. Entrance fee is 10 Derhams per person. But since we are on the bus, it's free. The beach is clean, there are toilets, changing rooms, showers. You can buy food a couple of steps further. Available for hire: an umbrella - 30 derhams, a trestle bed - 10 (constant exchange rate - 1 $ = 3.65). But we immediately bought an umbrella in LuLu for 29 Derham-2 m in diameter. And 1.8 m is even cheaper - 19 derhams. We didn’t take trestle beds, the sand is soft and it’s comfortable to lie on towels (they give it at the hotel near the pool). The water in the sea is now 29.5 °. A couple of days ago they arrived and... left back. There were big waves and swimming is not allowed. Came back and lay by the pool. The pool is small, deep, but the trestle beds were brought and everyone had enough. There is a separate children's room. There is also a shower and toilet.
The breakfasts are good, but don't expect a variety of Turkish and Egyptian ones. We went to dinner so far 1 time in BUKHARI AL KHALEEJ - exit the hotel and go left. At the traffic lights on the other side and left. And there will be a wasteland between the buildings and you will see it. They took rice from 2 lula (35 derhams), a flatbread (1) and 2 drinks in cans (3 each). The prize brought salad, sauces and soup 2 plates. We ate and took rice with us, enough for 2 more dinners.
Not far from good supermarkets: LuLu, Nesto.
Rest satisfied. So far, nothing overshadowed (that's just the towels). I recommend the hotel. We are planning to come here again next year.
