I would recommend to everyone to avoid group excursions because of awful crowds, traffic and expensive price , just stay at this wonderful hotel or take a car for rent to study UAE by yourself!...

    Great hotel about 40mins by car from central Dubai. Fantastic private beach where you can rent kayaks and jet skis... We have a child with severe food allergies and faizel the chef took care of him and cooked him special meals... Sohal was always on hand to clean our room and replenish our water bottles... Fantastic staff, always helpful and smiling... There are no drinks inc at these times but there is water put in rooms each day... Travelling to Dubai by taxi is best after 10am and don’t think of travelling from Dubai back to Sharjah between 6-9.30pm as it’s the local rush hour and it’ll take hours in a taxi!...

    ...A staycation it is, stayed at this property, Occidental Grand Sharja, for a weekend with my friends. Very accessible approximately 30 - 40 minutes away from Dubai via private car... We stayed in room 516 a deluxe room and the view is breathtaking... The balcony is overlooking thier grand swimming pool and the beautiful sea view... The room is big and the beds are cozy... We just enjoyed the relaxing beach and the pool the entire day and when you get hungry you can order in the restaurant by the beach... They also have recreational facilities that you can enjoy... They are serving breakfast at speranza restaurant and the selection were massive... Live omelette station, selection of fruits and healthy options you can find... We sat near by the window with the view again of the beach and pool which is very recommendable... Overall the experience was amazing, we rested well, rejuvenate and recharged ourselves... Thank you again Mr. Mina for your hospitality...

    I’ve stayed here twice and can tell you that this hotel is a great little secret. The ocean side rooms are worth paying extra for as the views of the parking lot from the city side are rubbish... The pool, ocean access is great, although you will have to put up with a lot of Russians... If I were you, I’d stock up on Duty-free at Dubai airport, put it in the car and go... You can’t drink in public, but every room has a fridge that will easily hold 6 bottles of white... Value wise, this place beats Dubai hands down and certainly more enjoyable than any Dubai skyscraper hotel...

I want to tell you about my last trip to the Red sea. I have been staying at this hotel since 2000. The hotel is located on the first coastline, and has very convenient beach. The hotel provides tasty meals and children's menu. They give an opportunity to relax with children. There is a children's pool and a playground. I really like the attentive attitude to tourists and I thank Mr. Mosaad very much. I got many pleasant memories and I want to thank for the best work of receptionist Anastasia, Chef Morris and others: cleaning-staff, pool workers, restaurant workers.

We’ve just finished our holiday in Occidental. Great service (you can order or ask for a help in an app), polite and nice stuff, delicious food (every day was smth new), fantastic seaside with vigilante lifeguards. If you have all inclusive, free ice cream, smoothies and a lot of other beverages and food in a restaurant with sea view. I’d like to notice Ahmed F&B manager, that leads restaurant. All stuff team are accurate, structured as a huge good working system. As a manager I was amazed by his job. And in addition he is very friendly and always ready to give an advice about getting a taxi or answering any other question about routes or local tourist attractions. We’ll definitely come back next year. Thank you for all team of Occidental ❤️ Ps: hall of fame with stuff photo - that’s genius!
