Actually, the UAE hotels become more and more expensive every year. It
forces some people to search for a hotel which gives a good rate to save
the money (though I hardly imagine how you can save the money while going
to such an expensive country). Marhaba Resort is one of the cheapest 4*
hotels in Sharjah, and the ads say that it's only 50 m from the beach,
which is a very good location for a cheap hotel. But this is just a part of
truth.
To be honest, it looks more like an overpriced 3* star with some traits you
need to keep in mind before booking.
1| it has no territory. Absolutely. Some photos can deceive you, but this
is the truth - it's only a building with a pool and a tennis court, nothing
more.
2| the beach is 100 m from the hotel, and it belongs to Beach Hotel
Sharjah. So you get a little part of their beach, not your own.
3| I can't say that I'm a capricious man, but the breakfast&dinner in
Marhaba Resort is a waste of time&money. There is choice, but it looks and
smells bad as if you are in a cheap bistro somewhere in downtown. I don't
know what their all-inclusive looks like, but think twice - do you really
need it? Sadly, there are no shops or restaurants beside the hotel, so you
have to pick a taxi to Sharjah-city (it'll cost you 6-8 DH).
4| the pool is very hot all the time. It's under direct sunlight, so it's
never cold. I don't think it's good for a country with an average +32С.
5| staff is sometimes good, sometimes bad. Nevertheless, the room was
always clean.
6| sometimes there's no cold water in bathroom. Looks like they don't have
a boiler - instead, they get hot water by having big cans on the roof of
the building, where the water is warmed by the sun. So the water is cold
only at night. :)

I can't say that I was very disappointed - it was a business trip and I
didn't waste my own money. But if you plan to book it for a holiday - you'd
better book Beach Hotel Sharjah or Ajman Beach. It's cheap, but gives you a
possibility to enjoy your own beach.
