Отдых на все 100 Rest for all 100

This is just a review of the hotel. There were only pleasant impressions about Corniche Al Buhaira. In previous reviews, all the nuances were described in sufficient detail, so instead of facts, I will probably describe the most vivid impressions.
Indeed, you need to understand what you want from the rest and from the hotel in particular, and you need to choose a hotel based on your wishes, and not just with the help of “good / bad” reviews. Initially, we needed a comfortable old hotel with a high level of service, with a minimum of noise. Almost retired : ) And, sorry, with a minimum of compatriots. I chose Sharjah deliberately, because this emirate almost guaranteed the absence of noisy parties under the windows, drunken gouging on the streets, etc. And Dubai is nearby : )
The hotel met all my expectations. Very beautiful interiors, everything is sparkling clean, the staff is helpful (we did not encounter a Russian-speaking girl at the reception, and, judging by the reviews, thank God) and always polite.

We checked in late in the evening, so we found the piano playing in the lobby, it creates a very pleasant atmosphere. A nice Filipino girl settled us, quickly arranged everything, offered to leave a deposit (blocked on the card), we asked for a room on a higher floor and overlooking the scream, with a smile, all wishes were fulfilled. We were escorted to the room, helped to unpack our suitcases (in the sense they didn’t leave us at the entrance), while there were no expectant glances from the receptionist, he bowed and left. We had a double room (two beds) on the 14th floor. The room is small, but everything is very clean, the furniture is new and very stylish, everything in the bathroom is also extremely clean and beautiful. Everything you could ever need was in the room. Cleaning every day, very thorough, towels + bedding, water, mini-bar. True, I did not like that the ironing board was not removed in place (in the closet). On the other hand, I might not like that they clean it, they say, I have to get it every day . . To my shame, we never left a tip anywhere, it just never even occurred to me, but the quality of service did not decrease from this.
There were problems with the phone. I was leaving for a walk and stayed longer than planned, and I had to call my mother so that she would not worry. Her mobile was dead, and I called the hotel, but they could not connect us to the number, some kind of problem. In the end, I asked the concierge to convey everything to my mother in words, and fix the phone. Again, everything was done - the concierge went up to her mother's room and told her that her daughter was going to Dubai and would be in a couple of hours, don't worry : ) The phone in the room was fixed the next day.
We only had breakfast, because. rest was planned rich and we ate in other places. The breakfasts are pleasant, yes, every second day the set of dishes was repeated, but during the week we collected a variety of breakfasts for ourselves. At the beginning of breakfast, freshly brewed coffee and fresh orange juice are always served, and can be repeated upon request. But as far as I understood, the juices in the dispensers were not freshly squeezed. There are also few fruits, watermelon, melon, pineapple and apples, the rest is canned. But all the dishes were delicious, fresh, nothing to complain about. I also really liked the atmosphere in the restaurant. Everything is somehow cozy, calm, no running around and queues, culturally. A couple of times we went out for breakfast very early, almost to the opening (before the trip to Abu Dhabi and before leaving), locals had breakfast in the restaurant, mothers in abayas with children, and fathers in white, asking mothers what to bring them. I really like their families.
Also, early in the morning we went out to the lobby and saw how 6-7 people rub every surface to a shine, change a huge bouquet of flowers that stands opposite the entrance, meticulously arrange chairs in a cafe so that everything is even.

On the second floor (well, as the second, it seems to be 4-5 in a row : )) there is an outdoor pool. More precisely, two. One is quite large, deep, the water is clean, the surrounding area too. The second pool for kids, is under an awning. Several times a day, a guy comes with a test tube, takes a sample from the pool. If children bathe, the situation is constantly monitored by the appropriate employee, if the little ones climb into the large pool, it is forbidden. The only thing is that there is no way to buy something to drink here, on the floor. They took water bottles with them. Oh yes, on the other side of the hotel there is another pool, in the morning there is shade, and we have not been there.
It is a common practice that shuttles are provided from the hotel for trips to the beach and to Dubai. We had a car booked, but only from the second day of our stay, so on the first day we decided to use hotel transport to get to Dubai. They informed the concierge about their desire, at the appointed time they went out to the lobby, waited and waited, no one was there. I'm starting to lose my patience, throwing a disgruntled look at the concierge. The next minute, a hotel employee comes out of the office with the keys in his hands, I was delighted, let's go! Without waiting for him, we go outside, but this guy with the keys catches up with us, politely explains that we need to go to the underground parking of the hotel. We do not understand anything, but we go where they lead. We go down to the parking lot (there was a small step at the exit, so this young man gently held my mother by the elbow so that she carefully stepped over her and did not stumble, so cute), and we go not to the hotel minibus, but . . to a hefty black Cadillac. The two of us are put into the back seat of a limousine and taken to Dubai. Yes, of course, we were just lucky, there were no more people who wanted to go at that time, but still a pleasant impression, on the first day the day was "I found a place here that sells beer! ".
Because the hotel is urban, it has an agreement with another hotel located on the shore of the bay. The shuttle takes those who wish to the beach of this hotel at 8 and 9 in the morning, picks up at 13 and at 16 o'clock. We went once. The bay is certainly incomparable, albeit an amateur. The purest, but not everyone will like to swim in almost warm soup : ) The water is body temperature, very gentle, yes, it doesn’t cool at all, but I love the heat and hell, for me it’s paradise. The bay at that time was restless, it was impossible to swim in it, but swinging and jumping in the waves, mmmm, so cool . . The hotel we were taken to is called Royal Beach Resort Spa 5 *. And this hotel was a terrible dream for me, it was especially terrible because at the stage of planning the trip I considered it as possible, thank God, changed my mind.
Let me remind you that we only had breakfasts, but one evening we had dinner at the hotel restaurant. We ordered salads on an empty stomach (the waiter came up twice to clarify what kind of sauce to serve us, we felt like collective farmers), cream soup and hot. Of course, this turned out to be sooooo much, and by the time the hot one was served, we were already extremely full. They apologized, said that we had already eaten, and asked to collect for us. "Would you like to finish dinner in your room? " - they asked us, I say "Yes, perhaps. " Again, the collective farm, we expected that they would pack our meat and lasagna in thermal dishes and bags, but they only brought us a bill, we paid off (it is definitely expensive to dine in a hotel this way), and they wished us a pleasant evening. They understood that they would bring to the room. And indeed, after 15 minutes there is a knock on the door, and the employee rolls up a table with roses in a vase for us, takes out our dishes piping hot, and puts them on plates.

On the first floor of the hotel there is a rent-a-car company Budjet, we used their services. They took a simple but zero Aveo, they gave us full insurance as a gift, the girl (if I’m not mistaken, again a Filipina) explained everything politely and in detail, another employee gave us a car, it took about 10 minutes, they handed over the car even faster. The hotel has its own parking lot, which can be accessed via a barrier upon request.
One trouble in the hotel (in fact, in almost all hotels in the UAE) is the Internet. Wi-fi in the hotel is prohibitively expensive, I did not buy it. However, on the night before departure, both my mother and I ran out of money on the phone, I didn’t have time to replenish it in time, they blocked it, none of the promised payments worked, nothing at all! And at least one phone was urgently needed. There is only one way out - to pay by card from the site. Where to get internet? I went to the reception (time 3 am), asked for the Internet. I don’t remember how much they asked for, but a lot of dirhams. I explain that I only need 5 minutes! I insist, I explain the problem. As a result, they take me to a conference room where there is a computer, they say you can use the Internet here. I sit down, the computer is password protected. What's the password? Nobody knows. . Ughs! In general, in the end they let me go to the concierge’s computer, which, to put it mildly, made him crazy : ) I found the right site, remembered that I forgot the card in the room, followed it, returned to the concierge who was freaking out, occupied his computer again, entered the card details, payment is gone. But the money was not received on the phone. Again I trudge to the reception, I think they will drive me out now. I say, well, it didn’t work out, can I do it again? Politely smiled, and again allowed to use a working computer and the Internet. Since then I love these guys : )
So, summary. The hotel seemed to us calm, cozy, the level of service is very high, the staff is always polite and helpful, any requests were fulfilled, even without a tip. The interiors of the hotel are very beautiful, everything is in the same style, everything is well-groomed. We left a deposit of 200 dirhams. The rooms (ours was a deluxe category) are small, the furniture is new, stylish, functional, there is everything you need, there is also a safe. The windows of the rooms do not open, of course, but the ventilation and air conditioning cope (I can not stand stale, stale air). The view of the creek is better from higher floors. Cleaning is impeccable, towels and accessories (shampoo, conditioner, gel, body lotion) are updated every day, the quality is not bad. Incidentally remembered, hair dryer antediluvian. The breakfasts are delicious, for a week of rest there is more than enough variety, but with little fruit. On the ground floor there are a couple of bars where you can pass the evenings, we really didn’t look. We often saw locals there, they really like to eat sweets in the evening : ) The hotel is calm, for a quiet comfortable stay.
In general, the hotel deserves its five stars, and the fact that we will definitely return there.
