Wonderful! 🌅
Pros:

The hotel is wonderful. It's conveniently located, just a few steps from the sea. The food is delicious, but keep in mind that drinks are only free at breakfast, even if you have all-inclusive. The pool is clean, and there's also a jacuzzi, a children's pool, and a slide. All the posters and notices are translated into Russian, as there are a lot of Russian speakers at the hotel. The only thing is that the UK power outlets in rooms are outdated and worn out.

Hotel
Pros:

We had a truly wonderful stay at this hotel. From the moment we arrived, everything felt welcoming and well organized. The hotel itself is beautiful and very well maintained. The rooms were clean, spacious, and comfortable, which made it easy for us to relax and enjoy our time. Housekeeping did a great job every day.

The beach was also very clean and peaceful, and the sea was absolutely beautiful. The water was clear and perfect for a refreshing swim. It really gave us that perfect vacation feeling.

The food was another highlight of our stay. There was a good variety of dishes, everything tasted fresh, and the service in the restaurant was friendly and professional.

Overall, everything was very pleasant and we had a great experience. We would definitely recommend this hotel and would love to come back again.

Great hotel food not so great
Pros:

The hotel itself was in lovely location and very clean and tidy. Staff polite and helpful
FOOD We were all inclusive and this was the main issue. Breakfast was great as the breads and eggs suited my daughter and I
The evening meal was a struggle as the hotel did appear to cater for Eastern Europeans and the food was never hot. So our day consisted very predominantly of bread which was not ideal

Advice is to take this into consideration when booking

Cozy place for relaxing
Pros:

"A great hotel right on the shores of the gulf, just 10 meters from the hotel doors to a clean beach. This is our third time staying here. We really like the staff — they are friendly and humble. Room cleaning is always done at a convenient time and in the format we prefer. A staff member named Mostak is respectful, polite, professional, and positive. Keep up the good work!"

Vacation
Pros:

I had an excellent stay at the Occidental Sharjah Grand Hotel. The hotel is very well located, with a beautiful beach, clean and comfortable rooms, and high-quality facilities. The staff is professional, welcoming, and always available to make the stay pleasant.

Special mention to Monir, who was exceptional throughout the stay: friendly, attentive, very professional, and always ready to help. His sense of service truly made a difference and greatly contributed to making our experience memorable.

I highly recommend this hotel and would gladly return without hesitation
