Sharjah Beach Hotels

"The hotel is about a 30-minute drive from Dubai Airport, but it's actually in the Emirate of Sharjah, about 10 kilometers from the airport. While not far, traffic can be heavy in the mornings and evenings. It seems to have been a Ramada hotel previously. The rooms are spacious, clean, and comfortable, but the decor is a bit dated as the hotel has been around for some years. Breakfast is quite varied. Overall, if booked in advance, it offers good value for money."

"Definitely not a 3-star hotel. Everything is outdated and needs a major renovation. The staff, however, are always smiling and happy to help. The beach is about a 15-20 minute walk away. It's a public beach with no restrooms or changing rooms, but it's clean and has lifeguards. There are no shops or anything else nearby. Breakfast is alright; you won't go hungry."

"My family and I recently enjoyed a heartwarming stay at Sahara Beach Resort & Spa for a much-needed staycation. From the moment we arrived, it was evident that this establishment values exceptional hospitality. Traveling with a toddler can be quite challenging, but the staff at [Hotel Name] went above and beyond to make our experience enjoyable. They were incredibly accommodating to our requests, making us feel like we were at home. Our 2-year-old son was welcomed with open arms, and the hotel thoughtfully provided us with child-friendly amenities that made our stay much more comfortable. Our room is very spacious and well-appointed and it was also meticulously clean – an aspect that's especially important to us during these times. Let's talk about the food – a pleasant surprise that truly delighted our taste buds. As a Filipino with a different palate, I didn't know what to expect from the hotel's cuisine. However, I was blown away by the diverse range of options on the menu and their exceptional taste. The flavors were thoughtfully crafted, and each dish was a masterpiece in itself. Indeed our stay was an absolute delight. The family-friendly atmosphere, exceptional service, and comfortable accommodations made our short staycation truly special. We left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated, grateful for the memories we created during our time there. We wholeheartedly recommend Sahara Beach Resort & Spa to anyone seeking a wonderful family getaway with such a peaceful ambiance."

"We stayed for 2 weeks in late January 2026 and had a very good time at Marbella Resort. I was cautious when making a booking due to controversial reviews on various sites. Some customers seemed to be concerned with such issues as cleanliness, insects or even geckos in rooms, staff attitude and lack of soundproof between rooms. Fortunately, we had no issues of that kind at all. Upon our late arrival we got Master Suite 3701 on the ground floor of 2 floor villa. Summary of things we liked: - An opportunity to occupy part of a villa with your own patio close to nice waterfront / promenade for a very reasonable price (by UAE standards of course) is unbeatable - Master Suite (living room with sofa, kitchen area, bedroom) was of a decent size for 2 adults with a kid - Hotel has a pool which seems to be ok though we preferred to use the pool in Holiday International (just 2-3 min from our villa) which was warm in January and had kid’s section with just 58 sm in depth - Hotel has a small playground for kids and there is another one in Holiday International - There are 2 amusement parks within 20 min walking distance from the hotel (Al Montazah and AlMajaz) which is perfect when you have a small kid - No noise from neighbors, according to reception we had soundproof doors between rooms which seems to be true. Not sure if all villas have these - Reception staff was always polite and helpful - Beds were comfortable - Bed linen and towels were fresh enough - Cleaning was ok most of the time - No insects (even mosquitoes) or geckos - Breakfast in Holiday International was ok though quite crowded and not much daily changes - Washing machine in room, large fringe, microwave, 2 TVs (which we never used) - Four bottles of drinking water provided every day - Nice Spinneys supermarket is just 5 min by feet - WiFi was better than expected Summary of shortcomings: - 2 floor villas are attached to hotel parking so we had cars parking in front of our kitchen window which we preferred to keep open for ventilation instead of aircon (January is not a hot month in UAE). Fair to say we had no issues neither with other guests parking nor with a street noise. You need to mind though that laud praying starts in nearby mosques around 5.30 am - I was puzzled by the fact that bedroom had another door instead of a window which can be opened to get some fresh air. Of course UAE is a low crime area but still you won’t leave the door open especially at night. Having a small window with mosquito net in bedroom would be great - Aircon was rather noisy. We rarely had to switch it on though of course you would have no choice in hotter months - Threshold separating shower from the rest of the bathroom is not sufficient and most bathroom gets wet when you take a shower. Typical problem in many hotels which can be solved literally for $1-2 - Couple of times cleaning staff have ignored our room for the morning cleaning. Fair to say when I brought this issue to reception they came in 5 min to do the job - They have induction stove in room but no pot or pan to cook so we had to use microwave all the time - Although hotel is well placed right on a beautiful promenade there is no direct access to it from hotel grounds and you need to walk 5-7 min to get to waterfront - Local beach is about 10-15 min drive, but my kid was happy with the pool in Holiday International so we never tried shuttle service provided by the hotel. Winter sea in UAE is chilly anyway - Generally Sharjah is a less fancy and much more conservative compared to Dubai while hassle free visiting Dubai is by taxi (public transport links are quite weak) which is rather costly (though local taxis seem to be cheaper compared to Dubai). So, Sharjah is ok for family vacations but not for entertainment or shopping."

"All the staff were very frindely and nice specially the reception.. there is a need to improve the level of the hotel cleaness."

"The staff at Four Points Sheraton is incredibly friendly and helpful. Monisha, in particular, stands out as an exceptional service provider. She consistently goes above and beyond to ensure the comfort and satisfaction of both guests and myself. This exceptional service has made Four Points Sheraton Hotel my first choice whenever I embark on a business trip to Sharjah, UAE."

"The service is okay apart from the missing of the teapot in the room, the food is nice and at an affordable price. The environment is quite I like"
