The hotel is conveniently located - within walking distance of the beloved Al Majaz promenade, as well as in close proximity to the city's attractions. One of the best city hotels in Sharjah in terms of accommodation and service. Diverse food. The hotel opened in 2013. Consists of one 18-storey building. The advantage is the provision of a free shuttle service and access to a private beach. There are Russian speaking staff. Upon check-in, a deposit is taken.More →

Were in the Hilton two years ago and now in October. Very disappointed with the number of rooms. Last time the room was much better, this time a lot of people and no choice. Of course, the view was on the sea, but the equipment is not the newest. As for the five is very sad. The food is good, that hasn't changed. … More ▾ Were in the Hilton two years ago and now in October. Very disappointed with the number of rooms. Last time the room was much better, this time a lot of people and no choice. Of course, the view was on the sea, but the equipment is not the newest. As for the five is very sad. The food is good, that hasn't changed. The staff also tried very hard. When we were picked up early in the morning from the hotel on excursions, we were given breakfast in a package, such attention is very nice. By the way, the trip to Dubai and the Safari from the tour agency was simply unforgettable. Very satisfied. The rest was, of course, rustic, but calm.

FLIGHT. Air carrier UIA, airport "Borispol", Kyiv. Late arrival and late departure. No delays. The airliner has uncomfortable seats, sitting in which for more than four hours before Dubai is very uncomfortable. Also, the placement on the plane is chaotic in terms of seats, relatives are all sitting at different ends of the liner. Many tried to switch places to be near their own. Meals on board according to the menu, prices in euros (for example, soup bags 3 euros, panini sandwich 4 euros), only water is provided free of charge. If you want to order a personal menu, you can do it in advance on the airline's website.
THE HOST. Voyage tour. Accompanying tourists on "excellent". Met at the airport, transfer - for 4 people. We got to the hotel from the airport in 15 minutes. Return transfer filed on time, operational work in everything.
The next morning there was a meeting with the guide, a pleasant woman, Natalya Udalova. Of the proposed excursions, we chose Abu Dhabi ($ 65), since this is not the first time in the Emirates and we have already seen a lot.
HOTEL. Hotel Hilton Sharjah, 5 *, location on Corniche st. , Al Majaz, 3. On the left side of the entrance - the reception. There is a Russian-speaking employee, Irina, but she only works the first shift. So if you have any questions - contact her, she will help. We arrived at the hotel around 3:30 am. They settled in right away. They took a deposit of $ 100, they give it in dirhams, the rate is 3.47 dirhams / 1 dollar. The room was City View. They asked for a higher room, because on the lower floors you can hear the work of the hood from the kitchen of the Mojo restaurant and prayers from the mosque. If you have a late flight, you can ask to extend Check Out free of charge until 15.00.
On the right side of the entrance, by the elevator, there is a concierge desk. You can take an adapter, a map of Sharjah and a city guide from him. It also provides beach passes and towels.
The room (about 27m2) was on the 16th floor.
Everything is standard in it: a bed, a TV (more than 60 channels, no Russian-speaking ones), a mini-bar (for a fee), a safe, a hairdryer, air conditioning, furniture, a kettle, a tea / coffee set, 2 bottles of water 0.5 liters each. The bathroom has a standard set of cosmetics, slippers, bathrobes. There was also free wifi. The password for it is given at the reception, you just need to register on the hotel website at the Hilton club. The Internet is fast, watched movies without problems.
Cleaning quality, every day.
On the 2nd floor of the hotel there is a sauna, a gym and two swimming pools. The floor is open around the clock, entrance after 22.00 according to the room card, the pool - from 7.00 to 19.00. It's nice that the pools are on both sides of the building, when the sun is on one side, the other pool is always in the shade. There is also a small pool for children. Sun loungers, umbrellas are always available, towels are also issued.
NUTRITION. We had BB food. Breakfast is served from 6.30 am to 10.30 am at Mojo Restaurant, 1st floor.
The menu has not changed for all days: rice with vegetables, boiled eggs, beans, pancakes, scrambled eggs with various fillings, pancakes, honey, several types of sausages, cheese, pastries, melon, watermelon, pineapples from fruits, tomatoes, cabbage from vegetables , cucumbers. There were also muesli, dried fruits, several types of juices, yoghurts. At tables, waiters pour coffee/tea or offer orange juice. There were few people in the hotel, so the restaurant was not crowded. At breakfast, you can ask the waiters to place you near the window and you can admire the embankment and the canal. You can also order food to your room around the clock (for a fee), the menu is in the room table near the window.
BEACH. They take you to the beach of the Carlton Hotel for free, transfer three times a day (9.00, 10.00, 11.00), but we did not use it, we took a taxi (13 dirhams). The beach is half empty, the water is clean, there are sunbeds, umbrellas, a changing room, a left-luggage office, a hairdryer, a shower.
TAXI.
There are always free taxis near the entrance to the hotel, the average fare in the city is 12 dirhams. We noticed that taxi drivers of African descent drive disgustingly, create emergency situations, and drive in circles, winding up the meter.
NEAR THE HOTEL. The hotel is located on the waterfront (Cornich Street). If you need to change money, you need to exit the hotel to the right, walk about 400 meters forward through the canal, to the Golden Tulip Hotel. There on the 1st floor there is a changer and a 24-hour supermarket Carifur. On the way to it there is a pharmacy and Domino's Pizza. If you turn left from the entrance of the hotel - you can go to the Al Madina supermarket, Pizza Hut pizzeria and fast food Subway. Also near the hotel is a beautiful promenade, with Flag Island and a beautiful palm park. There is where to walk in the evenings.
MALLS and BAZARS. We went to Mega mall and Sharjah City Center. Prices in boutiques are the same as ours, only Mega mall saw good discounts in a sports store for branded brands Nike, Adidas and in an electronics store for Apple and Sony mobile phones.
There is also a good Smartmart supermarket, where they bought spices, dates, coffee, tea, and mixed nuts as a gift.
I didn’t like Sharjah City Center, this Indian-Pakistani mall with a huge number of people just got tired, they didn’t see anything interesting there.
Sharjah Central Bazaar (or Trains). Expensive, not crowded. Mainly gold, silver, stones, fabrics, clothes. A lot of Chinese consumer goods of the lowest quality. After the Dubai Gold Souk, I was not impressed.
Souvenirs were bought in the Gift Market chain of stores (for example, magnets 2-3 dirhams). There is also a good souvenir shop (magnets, oils) at the Carlton Hotel (Carlton Shop), bargain.
NUTRITION. Mega mall has a good restaurant on the 3rd floor - Friday's. They serve seafood (portions are huge, the price is from 64 to 119 dirhams). We went there for dinner. It also has nice coffee shops Costa, Starbacks, Gloria, where they serve excellent coffee (average bill 40 dirhams for two). We dined at Pizza Hut near the hotel or bought ready-made food at the supermarket.
Also, when we were on the beach at the Carlton hotel, we went to the Kazan restaurant of the Al Seef hotel, as we saw it in many tourist reviews. Tried strawberry milkshakes and honey cake, delicious. The owner of the restaurant, Ismail Shangareev, came out to us and asked if we liked everything. The restaurant is small, nice design and atmosphere.
TOURS. Since we were in the summer season, the museums worked in a reduced mode, due to the heat, the butterfly island, which they wanted to visit, did not work at all. And it was simply impossible to be on the street from 13.00 to 17.00. Therefore, we limited ourselves to a beach holiday and an excursion to Abu Dhabi. Departure from the hotel was at 11.00. End of the tour at 22.00. The guide - Sergey, worked clearly, smoothly. We were in the Sheikh Zayed Mosque, made an overview of the city, with a stop at the gallery of golden carpets and the date market. Next - lunch at the Crow Prince Hotel and the way home. The only negative is the heat, during the tour of the mosque it was +51.
I would also like to note that our guide Natalia took care of us, presented dresses (abayas) and scarves (sheila) for the duration of the tour, so we did not have to rent clothes for the mosque, where there is a strict dress code.
CONCLUSION. The hotel made a good impression. Great location, cleanliness. The employees know their job. I really liked Sharjah. We want to come back again next year.
Thanks also to the host of Voyage Tour for high-quality travel support and travel agent Anna (Helios Tour, Kyiv) for choosing the tour.
Have a nice holiday everyone! If you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer!

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. … More ▾ 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.

It seemed to start well, they were quickly delivered from the airport, and here we are at the reception... The Russian-speaking manager, there is such Anna (parents, why did you bring up such ugliness, it would be better to suffocate in the cradle), not wanting to communicate with us, she sent us to the Filipinos, with whom we, speaking in broken English, naturally didn’t understand anything that they explained to us, and with bowed heads went where they sent us. … More ▾ It seemed to start well, they were quickly delivered from the airport, and here we are at the reception...

(By the way, only here I found out that there were 5 classes of rooms, and we were supposed to have a deluxe. the cheapest) The room lacks towels, dishes, a bidet and a clogged bath... They called again the same Anna, who in an angry and displeased voice, as if fighting off annoying flies, muttered, now we will send someone... They did not wait. . . Tired and disappointed, already regretting the considerable money spent on this trip, went to bed. . . This also turned out to be a problem, there was a mosque under the window and we woke up to every call of the muezzin to prayer. Somehow having slept, seeing the view from the window - a beautiful mosque, a road and a solid dump in addition to the named structures.
In general, in this hotel you are left to yourself, you can learn something from Russian-speaking neighbors or from the manager Dasha (like that was her name, a ray of light in the dark kingdom) Somehow they found out where the dining room is. This is the only place, well, even a hall with a violinist, which pulls in this hotel for 5. A varied selection of different, deliciously prepared dishes, freshly squeezed juice, excellent coffee. This is where the good ended. The beach is not your own, small, shallow and dirty, while you are taken there by bus, all the best places are marked with towels of local vacationers and you roast in the sun on the thin mattresses of the remaining sunbeds, getting sunburn instead of a golden tan. By the way, in a small storm, 4 people drowned there, their bodies lay in the sun for 5 hours right on the beach in front of the eyes of vacationers. Such is the rescue service on the waters in this "hotel". Travel agencies (in our case, Natalie and Alpha tours, these are members of the organized crime group, whose guides are instructed to take you not to the real sights of the country of your stay, but to places where supposedly branded goods, brands of this country, will be sold to you at exorbitant prices. The beauties of this country (UAE) are similar on a suddenly rich gold digger who bought everything the biggest, shiny and expensive. . . Well, the fountain at the Dubai Mall is a little impressive, I really liked the Atlantis Water Park.
The rudeness of the attendants is convulsive. He put two dollars - and glasses, and water, and towels, a dollar - half of what is needed is not available. If you call them, they stand, smile brazenly, saying that you don’t understand mine. And since they are not allowed to see women there (sharia), it is disgusting to think what they do on the beds of your women during cleaning, at least seeing their carnivorous looks becomes very disgusting. And taxi drivers there put on cleaner shoes than Moscow ones... So, slowly, our "vacation" ended. On the last evening I called the general manager, told him everything I think about his country, hotel and employees. He offered me a free dinner as an apology! Naturally, I advised him to shove it into a known place (Dasha stood nearby, I hope she explained to him where). Then for half an hour they could not get into the room, blocked in retaliation. Already without going anywhere, half asleep (and suddenly they won’t wake up), tired, but happy that we are finally leaving this lousy country of sands, camels and the nastiest monkeys in the world, having left the above-mentioned two banana tips, went down to the lobby to the bus. There was no bus, we were nervous, no one really explained anything to us, and finally, when he came up, we were. overjoyed, forgetting a number of packages, happy rushed to the airport. And taking off, not a bit sparing the things left behind, flying over the Persian Gulf, he maliciously and petty dreamed that the Persian Gulf would soon swallow up this oasis of wild dependents. And how happy we were to be at home, calm and self-respecting. And, compatriots, respect yourself, DO NOT FLY TO THE COUNTRY OF THE DESPECTIVE YOU, DO NOT FEED THEM, and in a couple of years they, again putting on loincloths, will earn on the sale of pearls extracted from the Gulf and cut each other's throats

Travel agency "Let's go with us". Travel agency rating 7 (out of 10) - made me nervous with paperwork.
Host "Desert Adventure" - 3/10. At the airport, we were already met on the street on the way to the taxi stop. Many other companies met "their" immediately upon exiting the plane. The fact is that Sharjah is a major transit point on the way from Europe to India. In this regard, the main flow of people from the plane immediately rushed to land further. We remained in the middle of the terminal, frantically reading signs on signs. Some random representative of a completely different company helped. He showed us the queue for an eye scan (it was the first time in my life, there is no such procedure in Ukraine).
Then, passport control (they check the passport and put a stamp in the passport and on a copy of the visa), then some kind of passport control check (again they took passports and checked for stamps), then, baggage claim, then, most likely, customs (again, things shine through and "shmanat" pockets). At the exit, we met - you think the representative of the meeting party, it was not there - another "lost" tourist. And only when we left the airport with the intention of catching a taxi, as if from under the ground, a man "DA" appeared and handed us envelopes with hotel reservations and escorted us to the bus. The representative of "DA" who came to the hotel (Miroslava) was also not happy - she strongly offered excursions at fabulous prices. And I love to travel around the country myself. Therefore, he pestered her with questions - how best to get there and where the nearest metro station is and in which supermarket it is better to buy groceries.
Realizing that you won’t earn money on me, she answered questions reluctantly, in the style: “stop a taxi and say the address. ”
One last thing, before moving on to the description of the hotel. The flight Kyiv-Sharjah-Kyiv was with Airarabia. Everything is super, except for one thing - everything is paid on the plane, including all food and drinks, it remains to make paid toilets. Expensive and tasteless. You can save some money (according to the ads) by ordering food from them at www. airarabia. com before the flight.
Hotel. Urban. On the beautiful waterfront. A wonderful hall, where, as it turned out, live music in the evenings.
Russian-speaking girl Anya quickly and without additional stimulation issued a room overlooking the lagoon. But (do you also think that I'm nitpicking? ) for some reason I forgot to say when and where breakfast is and that there is a transfer to the beach and to Dubai. Thanks to this site.
The room is very good (1105), on the non-smoking 11th floor. Amazing view from the window. New furniture. All in the same style.
Several mirrors, a chest of drawers, a table, a wardrobe, a chair, an armchair, bedside tables, a TFT TV, air conditioning, a safe, an iron with an ironing board, scales, a kettle the paper will run out at an unexpected moment), a bathroom with a shower, a bidet. Everything is at its best. Among the shortcomings: the lack of a balcony and a small fungus in the corner in the bathroom, as a result of insufficient ventilation - the windows do not open, only air conditioning and an extractor hood - swimsuits hardly dry. Just VERY expensive internet. I was with a laptop, but I have never used it - I can not evaluate the quality. They brought a holey cot for the child, which folded as soon as I sat on it. Therefore, the three of us slept on 2 beds, fortunately, they are very wide. The cot was asked to be taken out of the room immediately.
Apparently, the lack of a 3rd bed forced the cleaners not to report the 3rd bottle of water and the 3rd set of towels daily, although I didn’t even buy 2 + 1, but 3 full adult vouchers.
Beach. As you probably already understood, the hotel is urban, that is, you need to go to the beach by transport. I must say that there is almost no urban transport in Sharjah - the country is rich and everyone gets there by their own cars. The streets are not intended for non-walkers - there are few sidewalks and almost no crossings and traffic lights. Crossing the road is history. In short, you need to go to the beach - either a hotel bus transfer or a taxi. Drive 5-7 minutes. Transfer at 8 and 9 am to the beach and back at 13-00. Tourists are mostly ours. We arrived in the UAE to bask on the white sand. There is a crush near the bus. Unpleasant. Taxi option to the beach - 10 dirhams (rate 3.66 dirhams for $ 1 in the exchange office and 3.48 at the hotel)
We were taken to the beach of the Beach Shardja Hotel. The sea is clean, 28-30 degrees. The sand is white.
To get towels, you need to receive special coupons at your hotel every day before leaving and hand them over at the beach hotel. The beach is busy, but the "boys" rush along the beach. So you won’t be left without a sun lounger or mattress. Once we just did not have an umbrella.
The contingent of the hotel, as mentioned above, is mainly from the CIS countries. But there are Germans, Arabs and others. Increased attention in these others and some kind of negativity or disregard for Russian-speakers was not noticed. Always impeccable courtesy.
Nutrition. We only had breakfast. I can judge the art of the cook only by the reviews of other tourists. Delicious but spicy. Breakfast was exactly the same 7 times, but rich and tasty. Better than any "Egypts / Turkeys" definitely. From Europe, perhaps the best breakfast I ate in Germany, and then at the expense of fried pork sausages, which cannot be here by definition.
You are met at the entrance to the restaurant, seated at a table, poured juice, coffee, tea. Dirty dishes are cleaned very quickly. When there were few people, a Korean boy ran for us to get scrambled eggs. There are 4 rooms in total - 2 on the 1st and 2nd floor. All in a different style. Were in 3 of them. Pleasant music. Definitely "+". Self-catering is possible in many restaurants and eateries. We ate mostly fast food. Once we were in the restaurant "KAZAN" near the beach. Cooking quality is average. The price is high. Service is good. They don't accept cards - cash only. The shops are full. Any stall is called a supermarket. They accept bucks everywhere, but everyone has their own exchange rate and not in your favor. Try to pay with a card or change in shopping centers. We preferred to go to "Carrefour" - 10 min from the hotel. Dinners at the hotel for 3 people for 7 days would have cost us an extra $500. We ended up spending $200 on food.
Consider for yourself whether it is worth fooling around or better off immediately to the hotel.
Additional entertainment. There is no animation. But I don't need it, and it's even great that it is. The hotel has 2 private pools on the 3rd floor, Finnish and Turkish saunas, "rocking chair". Was once. Nothing remarkable. Nothing compares to the beach. On the beach of the "extortionists" - jet skis ($30 for 20 minutes), skiing ($30 for 15 minutes), fishing ($65 per person).

And further.
Were in the water park "WildWadi". AED 205 adult ticket + AED 25 for luggage box if needed. Water and food are confiscated at the entrance. Everything can be bought inside, but, accordingly, expensive. There are a lot of people - it's easy to be left without a sunbed, it's better to arrive early. Take a free shuttle from our hotel (departs at 11-00.17-00 and 21-00) to Deira City Center, then by metro to the Mall of the Emirates station (from our bus stop, cross the road and walk 100 meters further - descent, as in an underpass, the inscription is already inside "Train"), then by taxi.
Or from the "Deira City Center" immediately by taxi.
"Singing Fountains" (from 18-00 every half an hour for 1 composition), Burj Khalifa (the tallest building in the world), Dubai Mall (shopping, aquarium) - Take a free shuttle from our hotel (departs at 11-00.17-00 and 21-00 ) to "Deira City Center", then by metro to the station "Burj Khalifa / Dubai mall".

And further.
In the evening we missed the last hotel bus (departs from Derra City at 21-30). And I was already ready to fuck off the taxi driver for a trip to the neighboring emirate, but my wife found the best solution (and why, otherwise, wives are needed). We just found a bus of an unknown hotel in Sharjah, standing near Deira City. Tourists do not know each other anyway, the driver, especially. They drove to someone else's hotel in Sharjah, and from there a taxi to their own. All pleasure 10 dirhams))). So if you are late, do not despair, the buses of the "Seef beach hotel" and several others leave at 22-00.

Outcome.
I liked the rest, but there is room for improvement. Write, I will answer questions.

Everything that we were told in the tour agency about this hotel is a 100% coincidence in reality. The hotel deserves the status of 5ki. Let it not have its own green territory, but the hall rooms and restaurants are wow!! ! Because this is a city hotel, I can say that it is located very well, in front of you is a luxurious lagoon, an excellent view from the room (if you got a view of the lagoon), there are a lot of cafes and restaurants nearby. … More ▾ Everything that we were told in the tour agency about this hotel is a 100% coincidence in reality.

Because this is a city hotel, I can say that it is located very well, in front of you is a luxurious lagoon, an excellent view from the room (if you got a view of the lagoon), there are a lot of cafes and restaurants nearby. But nevertheless, Sharjah is boring in the evenings and we walked there only after the excursions, because we no longer had the strength to go to Dubai. We rested there for 12 days, food for 5, service is excellent, everyone smiles, meets and sees you off, as if you were the only visitor to this hotel. We had a honeymoon trip and we got everything we expected from this hotel, we were met with fruit and a cake in the room, which is very nice, at the reception any issue can be resolved with Russian-speaking girls, so if you are an adequate tourist, without the desire to roam and rumble around the hotel, then the hotel is for you!!! ! A lot of Chinese, Germans and British. From the hotel every day there is a bus to the beach of the Beah 3 * hotel, because. The Persian Gulf is not the kind of body of water in which you want to swim endlessly, then once a day is enough to swim and get a tan. The main thing at any rest do not forget to take a good mood with you and then there will be only positive emotions!!!
Good luck to all. I highly recommend the hotel!! !

10 days flew by like a blink of an eye! The hotel is chic, the staff is friendly, pleasant, smiling, looking after you. The food is very tasty, however, a lot of spicy food, but this is not for everyone. Being on a diet, you should not go there, it is impossible to resist such an assortment! : ) If you are lucky, like us, and you get a room with a view of the lagoon from the window, then this is generally paradise, very beautiful. … More ▾ 10 days flew by like a blink of an eye!

Everything was delicious. … More ▾ My husband and I really liked the hotel. Friendly service staff, the room was changed without any problems the next day. They only took breakfast.

Luxurious interiors of the hall contrast with the usual rooms. Very spicy food. The tablecloths in the restaurant are not always fresh. The towels smell bad. The Russian television channel was turned off after 2 days of our stay, when we left, it did not work. The staff is friendly, but if a representative of another country appears nearby, they will immediately forget about you. … More ▾ Luxurious interiors of the hall contrast with the usual rooms.

I'm going to the UAE in September. There is a question: I heard a lot about a rotating skyscraper, it seems that even its construction has begun, I have not heard that it has already been built and is functioning .. Has anyone seen it? Where is this miracle being built? And are they building?
