I'll start from the moment we arrived at the airport. We were met by a guide. And we were waiting for the driver. They put together a group. And they started delivering. Carried so that the child was sick and he threw up.
The site says that there is a shuttle to the beach, but there is none. There is a car rental, it is not. There is no free parking, but only for money. And very expensive. For 9 nights we paid 90 derhams.
So now the room, the air conditioner works independently and turns on at night and turns itself off. Fridge not cooling and very noisy. There is also a mosque nearby. Every morning at 5 am, you wake up from the beginning of the prayer very loudly.
We also took a room with a kitchen as a small child. It was written on the site that everything is there, but here we were in for a surprise. There are no plates. And the website says it is. The room smells very bad. Just a corner from the room they turn off the AC.

Tour from Aneks, in principle, we repeatedly traveled with this operator, there were no issues with transfer, information and excursions !! ! Now about Sharjah - this is the emirate next to Dubai. Differs in cheaper housing and accommodation (food, clothing, etc. ). By the way, walking around Sharjah is VERY difficult (in Dubai it’s not realistic at all), pedestrian crossings are not always visible, so you had to overcome decent distances to cross the road (but it was hot) (((.

By the way, walking around Sharjah is VERY difficult (in Dubai it’s not realistic at all), pedestrian crossings are not always visible, so you had to overcome decent distances to cross the road (but it was hot) (((. A lot of Indians and Pakistanis live there! There are Indo-Pakistani stores around, prices practically do not differ from Russian ones, and things are even much cheaper!!! (In Dubai it is 2-3 times more expensive).
Nearby there is a shopping center, among our tourists called "trains"))), behind it across the road (under the bridge) there is a food, meat and fish market!! ! The big advantage of the FISH market (I would live there))) is that you can buy there (very inexpensive, relative to this country) everything you like, for a nominal fee, clean (cut) seafood (the main thing when buying is to tell the seller about cleaning) and there cook (frying or grilling), the main thing is not to overdo it with spices))). A great option for a meal replacement at a hotel!!!
Hotel: we had a room 701 STUDIO ROOM, small, double bed, TV, refrigerator, centralized air conditioning (worked properly). The room was cleaned normally, the staff is friendly (no puffy cheeks). At our request, they brought an additional microwave, two-burner electric. stove and iron and ironing board!
There is NO own territory in the hotel! They smoked in the room before us, so the smell was felt (((. And the most important disappointment is the smell of "curry" - HORROR!! ! patio, so the smell penetrates the rooms, it’s true to say that there were tenants who said that they had NO smell.
Transfer to the beach at ~ 8:00 and until 11:30 (as agreed), carried by bus. BUT it is not difficult to negotiate with compatriots and take a taxi to / from the beach / a, the issue price is 13.50-17 dirhams (1 dirham ~ 18 rubles). We did not even try to walk (read above)))).
And, yes, there is practically NO WHERE to buy alcohol in the UAE, and even more so in Sharjah, dress also with the understanding that you are in an Islamic country, do not forget about these nuances !!!!
P. S. We had no problems with this)))))))

Hotel without luxury. Furniture and electronics are old, but in principle they look good. The kitchen is very tiny, they asked for a stove at the reception - they gave an electric one, already quite respectable age. There are no pots, only two pairs of forks, spoons and plates. Breakfasts are good for lovers, and from vegetarians and those who are in favor of proper nutrition, there is little choice.

The staff is friendly, the parents' room was cleaned every day and quite nice - vacuumed, changed bed linen and towels. But for some reason my son and I passed by ...At one time the hotel was normal, in satisfactory, in some places in good condition. Bribes for its cheapness. The hotel has many natives of India and Arabs, during our stay there were many Ukrainians and Russians. Plus - free Wi-Fi

A budget option. Convenient location in town, friendly staff. The food is fresh, but monotonous: scrambled eggs, sausages, vegetables, drinks. Guide translator Alisher does not want to work. Although the tour company promised help and information from the guide. I never met him anywhere during my entire vacation, but only offered a tour on the phone.

The rooms are modest, there is no view from the window, the smell in the room is not pleasant. I do not recommend.

We chose the hotel according to the pricing policy, so we didn’t expect anything more, but we didn’t think it was so sad. The room is cleaned every day, but this does not make the room cleaner. Household appliances (kettle, refrigerator) breathe well and with rust. The shower is moldy and very small. From the good: Wi-fi is free, transfer to the beach is free, the location is good (near the Blue Souk Bazaar, Mega Mall, bus station, cafes with local cuisine, McDonalds 2 pcs.

The hotel is urban, near the park and the promenade with fountains. Close to Mega Mall Sharjah. Bad - there are no buses to Dubai from the hotel, but you can leave the beach (although this is prohibited) or the bus station for a week - 7 dirhams. The bus takes you to two beaches: Golden beach -15 dirhams (sunbeds and towels, umbrellas) and Carlton - 20 dirhams.

I went to Golden - the sea is clean 24 degrees (next to the desalination plant).
Breakfast at the hotel is meager, the room was cleaned normally, but the hotel itself does not pull on 4 stars (repair has not been done for a long time) - a strong trio.
In general, I recommend that you decide before choosing a hotel - a beach hotel is far from the city center and shops, a city hotel is far from the beach.
