Verona Resorts Sharjah

The hotel is good, the place is also good, but it is necessary to pay attention to cleanliness.

لاباس في مقابل الثمن

I stayed in this hotel between 25 December 2021 and 1 January 2022. I would like to share my impressions. 1. The hotel is on the border of Sharjah and Aijman, so my main walks and visits to places (restaurants, shops, beach) were in Aijman. This would also affect the cost of taxis to Sharjah city centre (30 AED), bus station (AED 17), shopping malls (AED 20-30). 2. The hotel had up to 80% tourists from Russia, the rest were from India, Pakistan, my neighbours were 2 businessmen from Iran. 3. The room is large, very smoky, the furniture is old, the walls are dirty, the washbasin in the bathroom was leaking, the toilet did not completely shut off the water (although the plumbing problems were fixed by the staff at first request). There were a few days with clouds, the water was not warm enough in the sun and cool water was flowing from the hot tap. 4. The hotel has regular celebrations (saw an Indian wedding, an Arab wedding and some other celebrations during the week), so if you want to go to bed at 11 PM, you will find it difficult to do so. There are also planes flying over the hotel 24 hours a day from Sharjah airport, be prepared to hear the sound. 5. The pool on the first day of my arrival was cold, however the next day after talking to the manager the heating was turned on and all the next days swimming was enjoyable. 6. The breakfasts at the hotel are monotonous, very poor as for UAE, quickly boring. 7. You can have lunch and dinner in nearby cafes (25-30 AED), and also in restaurants on the beach in Ajman (there is a good restaurant of Turkish cuisine, seafood restaurant). The portions are huge! One meal is enough to be satiated. The average bill ranges from AED 40-50 and up to AED 100. 8. The public beach in Aijman is dirty, there are no sun umbrellas (not relevant at this time of year). The sea is clear, often stormy, cool. I liked sunbathing more at the hotel, the water in the pool was warmer than the sea. 8. Shopping - I liked the Sahara Centre, the prices are high but in December and January they do good discounts, you can buy brand name clothing, there is also a lovely food court with a selection of food; during the Dubaiexpo2020 exhibition, free buses go from Sharjah bus station directly to the exhibition, the exhibition is interesting, it takes a few days to see everything, keep that in mind when buying a ticket to the exhibition. Conclusion - not a bad hotel for a budget tourist, overall justifies its 2 stars. Accommodation in Sharjah is much cheaper than Dubai. You can always go to Dubai by bus to Union station and then take the metro to almost anywhere in Dubai.
