It was a great week in a sunny Sharjah for me and my fiancee. Hotel services were up to the standards I was expecting. It was actually really difficult to find a hotel which would have a nice balcony and private beach, since most of the hotels especially in Dubai area were limited in this sense.
Service level was flawless, everything from checking in to cleaning, room service, etc were up to the highest standards. Beach area was clean and easygoing and comfortable. This vacation was mainly for relaxation, so we spent a lot of time in the beach area. It's good to mention here as well that there is no alcohol available in the hotel or anywhere else in Sharjah and this, along with other factors, makes the hotel really friendly for families with small children.
Food in the restaurants was tasty and it was nice to start the day with breakfast, which contained vast amount of alternatives.
Only really negative remark regarding this hotel comes from the local area, as there are really limited options for moving around by walking, hence there is no proper sidewalks. Anyhow, the main street of the beach with malls and Starbucks etc places is located few hundred meters away and its easy to get there by walking.
Locals seemed to be friendly and polite, no crappy mercenaries bothering your day, and therefore difference e.g. to Egypt is tremendous.
I'd be happy to recommend this hotel for families and couples whom are seeking to spend quality time by the beach or pool.
