The hotel offers spacious rooms with a king size bed, ideal for one adult and one child. However, the decor could use some modern updates, especially in the bathroom suite. The price is reasonable for the accommodation provided.

The hotel offers clean and spacious rooms with everything one could ask for, although a bit more attention to cleanliness is needed. The presence of many cats around may lead to food left by visitors, which should be addressed. The service is good, with multilingual staff who keep guests informed about messages received. The location is perfect, with a nice beach and a quiet area away from traffic jams, ideal for families. The dining experience offers reasonable prices with good food options, although more variety would be appreciated. The facilities are well managed, but awareness of the surroundings could be improved.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were a bit small and had some bugs and ants due to the compressors of the pool and other equipment needing replacement. However, the service was top-notch with the staff going the extra mile, and the location was convenient for exploring Sharjah & Ajman. The dining experience was average, and the facilities were satisfactory.

The hotel's location is excellent, with a nice seaside setting and its own beach, making it a perfect stay during the summer. The rooms are fairly clean and spacious, though not extremely silent due to pool compressors and other equipment noise. Services are welcoming, especially by the accommodating staff like Maryam, but there is a focus on upselling at high rates. The dining experience is considered very good and reasonably priced, except during Ramadan when there is not enough variety. The facilities are decent but may fall short in terms of extreme quietness and cleanliness.

The hotel offers a prime location by the beach with convenient access to shopping centers.

The hotel is situated in a nice and quiet area, away from traffic congestion, and features a lovely beach and swimming pool that were a hit with the kids. The location is easy to find and offers a fantastic setting, perfect for a summer stay. While not right in the city, it's just 15 minutes from downtown Dubai, providing a convenient option that doesn't break the bank.

The hotel's location in a quiet area away from the busy city was fantastic. The proximity to the beach and a great swimming pool that the kids enjoyed made it an ideal spot for families.

The hotel is conveniently located by the beach, making it easy to enjoy the sea breeze. The rooms are not as quiet as expected due to external noise and only had two single beds upon arrival.
