Nothing special but the parking is a bit tight better to have more parking places

What I did like is the big Pool with nice and quick access to the clean sand beach, also the option to have two places to have your food, Arabic or international cuisine. Next to that, all the interesting places are around the area

Shortage of available sun lounges and umbrellas at the pool and beach.

Great location. Excellent staff. Anastasia Fadeeva, the Guest Relations Executive at the Occidental Grand Hotel Sharjah: An Exceptional Experience with Anastasia Fadeeva I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Occidental Grand Hotel Sharjah, and I must say that my experience was nothing short of extraordinary. Throughout my stay, I encountered Anastasia Fadeeva, the Guest Relations Director, who left an indelible mark on my memory. Anastasia’s genuine gratitude and warmth were evident from the moment I stepped into the hotel. Her welcoming smile and sincere appreciation for choosing the Occidental Grand made me feel valued as a guest. Anastasia’s poise and passion were unmatched.

I booked a room close to the airport on our way to Thailand and asked for a late checkout since our flight was leaving at night. Was told I had to pay for an extra night which I did but considering the hotel was half empty I def think they could have charged a bit extra for a few hours more or nothing at all.

Everything was OK.

Stayed in December 2023

The room had broken soap dispenser and was not maintained well. I had to call for maintenance multiple times because the ceiling was leaking water. Overall the hotel hadn't been maintained. And the beach area was very small and was not maintained as well as could be.

The hotel was off of the beach. The staff was nice. They came through everyday to clean the room. The breakfast was very good. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and nice view. The pool was nice they also had an area where you could spray your feet off after leaving the beach. Everyone seemed to be kind that worked there.

Location is quite remote from Dubai; taxis are necessary. Soundproofing is very poor. We encountered issues with staff accessing our room when we were not present. They often knocked on the door in the evening, asking if they could clean the room or provide any services, which was a bit strange. The view from the beach is somewhat industrial, and the air can be smoggy, as a result the Burj Khalifa is hidden most of the time. The food could be better considering the price, and drinks could be provided for free. The hotel is often crowded, requiring early rising to secure a good spot on the beach.

Good beach with clean water and sand. The room was renovated and better than presented in photos, quite spacious. The pool is convenient, deep, and warmer than the sea in March. The entire area is consistently cleaned by the staff. If you want to use public transport, a ferry is available not far from the hotel, providing connections to the metro.

Food quality can be better. For orthodox Christmas they closed the pool after 12pm. They used the area for Christmas dinner. It was better if they invited all customers to this event instead of only full or half board customers as compensation of stealing pool time :) Half of the tables were empty at the end and it’s not sync with the Christmas value. Last thing, there can be more animation for young and old.

Atmosphere, location, sea side with own beach, nice pool, easy to reach from airport’s

Quite old building - you can really feel it. Nothing really nearby (take into account when deciding if you want to eat in the hotel or outside). There are no restaurants in the proximity of the hotel. Also it’s quite hard and expensive to get to Dubai. A lot of traffic jams. For instance, it took us 2 hours to get back from the Aquapark (Atlantis Aquaventure) On Thursday at 19:00. On average you would spent from 50-150 AED to get to Dubai… Not a pleasant smell on the 5th floor and in the room, more like a mold smell. Food on breakfast/lunch/dinner is tasty but lacking the diversity from day to day it’s the same food but with different sauces. Deserts are pretty nice and versatile though.

Staff was really helpful and nice, food and the proximity to the beach. Beach was super nice as well with still and clean water. It’s really clean in the rooms. Taxi is available on the reception.

They are highly understaffed. Housekeeping does not answer the call at all. Just 0.5 litre x 2 water bottles provided in room for 2 adults and 1 child. It's just 1 aed or less per bottle. Management should not be stingy on basic things like water & must provide atleast 2 litres of water per day in room. We had to call to in house restaurant after multiple failed attempts to reach housekeeping/room service and request them bring extra water and then they send just 2 small bottles again even after requesting to send 4 bottles. Drainage was clogged in bathroom, but it's understandable as building is quite old. But the entire hotel was fully booked during our stay so they must increase staff count atleast on holidays to improve on SERVICE. There was no Porter guy, the receptionist guy was kind enough to bring our trolley bag to room. There was no valet available when we reached hotel.

Amazing Beach, Good pool and spacious rooms, Good view from balcony. Buffet breakfast was tasty
