We were with my family (two adults and two children of 7 years old) from June 1 to June 8.2015.
We arrived at the hotel from Dubai airport at about 11 o'clock in the afternoon, we were placed immediately.
We ordered an extra bed, but it was not in the room. However, as soon as this was reported, the bed was immediately brought and covered with fresh linens.
The renovation in the room, it is immediately clear, was done a long time ago: the floor covering is worn out, the tiles in the bathroom are old.
There are no bathrobes or slippers. And then they did not appear (as it turned out later, in order to save money, but last year all this was). Therefore, the first impression was a little dreary.
Of the dishes, two glasses and two cups with saucers, a kettle and a hair dryer (workers) were found in the bathroom. No spoons, forks, knives.
We didn’t find a mini-bar either, but we didn’t need it: we bought everything we needed at inexpensive prices in the nearest supermarket.
The refrigerator was small, but working, however, with a thick layer of frost in the freezer.
The room has a small horizontal TV, there are 3 Russian-language channels - the 1st, Russia Planet and Smile of the Child.
The air conditioning worked well, in the evenings after the sea and or the pool, entering the room, they ran to the balcony to warm themselves.
The window of the room overlooked the city, to the east. Soundproofing is good, street noise is almost inaudible.
On the balcony there is a table and two chairs where we dried our swimwear.
We paid for a ticket with two meals a day: tomorrow and (optionally) lunch or dinner.
Upon arrival at 12.30 we went to lunch at a restaurant (building level -1). Buffet, plenty of choice, food very tasty. True, juices and other drinks (with the exception of black tea and coffee) for an additional fee. For breakfast, you can take three types of juices, water, milk, green tea (and, of course, black tea and coffee) without additional payment. You can also order some fast food for breakfast.
For lunch, a large selection of confectionery (cakes, pastries, cookies).
Service in the restaurant is good, friendly and not intrusive.
Few people, no one bothers.
The hotel is on the first line, when you sit in the restaurant, you can see the pool and the sea.
Access to the pool and the sea is also from level -1, at the exit they give out beach towels according to the cards indicating the occupied number (cards are issued upon check-in according to the number of residents, we were given 4). When returning used towels, cards are returned. You can take towels without restrictions, no one regulates.
At the exit from the hotel to the pool area there is a changing room with lockers, showers and toilets.
The pool is good, a sign is posted indicating the level of chlorine, Ph, temperature. The depth of the pool is from 1.40 to 2.85 m. There is also a "paddling pool" and a water slide, which is used by both children and adults.
Lots of sunbeds, there was always enough for everyone. There were also sun loungers on the beach.
The beach is sandy, clean, gently sloping, you have to walk 50 meters to be up to the neck. Depth begins behind the buoys.
The water is clear, you can see small fish, starfish, occasionally came across jellyfish. The water temperature is stable: in the pool - 30, in the sea - 32. There have never been big waves in the sea for all the time.
The hotel offers free daily shuttle bus service to Sahara Mall (Sharjah) and Dubai.
Not far from the hotel - 15 minutes walk - an aquarium and a museum, we paid 70 dirhams for four.
On the same side, only closer, there is a supermarket where you can buy everyday goods and food. Prices are moderate, but it is better to buy in the Sahara (where the supermarket is at -1 level).
It is not very comfortable on Friday and Saturday, when local Arabs come to the hotel with whole families to swim.
Sharjah has a dry law, there is not even non-alcoholic beer, so Sharjah will disappoint drinkers.
There is a sign in the hotel room with a warning that food cannot be brought into the hotel and on the beach, but no one has ever searched us. It seems that the owner of the hotel is trying to load his restaurant, but the service staff does not care about this thought of the owner. However, it is obvious that if an outside messenger brings your order, it will be sent back.
Room cleaning, including change of bed linen and towels, was done daily without reminders, only once had to ask for it. Wi-Fi is practically non-existent.
In general, the impressions of the rest in this hotel are very good, the rest was a success.
But next time we will go to another hotel, more modern.
