Summary of reviews
Nestled in a stunning, almost isolated environment on a serene peninsula, the Kingfisher Retreat by Sharjah Collection is celebrated as an ideal escape for those seeking tranquility and natural beauty in the UAE. Its remarkable location offers breathtaking beachfront views, reminiscent of the Maldives and is home to diverse wildlife, making it a paradise for nature lovers. The serene surroundings and picturesque sunrises and sunsets contribute to the magical atmosphere, providing a perfect getaway for couples, families and solo travelers alike.

Accommodations at the Kingfisher Retreat feature luxurious tent-style villas complete with private pools and sea views. Guests praise the spacious, well-designed and comfortable tents that offer a five-star hotel experience with an oriental touch. High marks are given for the quality of the bedding and the overall cleanliness of the rooms, although some maintenance and renovation are suggested to maintain the luxurious feel.

Dining experiences at the retreat receive mixed reviews. Breakfast is generally praised for its freshness, taste and the charming ambiance of beachside dining, though it could benefit from a wider variety. Dinner presents a more varied picture with some guests enjoying delicious meals while others find the options and service lacking. The restaurant ambiance, featuring live broadcasting of events like the World Cup under the stars, adds a unique charm despite occasional service delays and limited menu choices.

The overall cleanliness of the resort is highly commendable with the property and rooms described as tidy and hygienic. A few minor areas for improvement were noted, such as more thorough room cleaning and upkeep of outdoor spaces. The staff at Kingfisher Retreat are celebrated for their exceptional service, going above and beyond to ensure a memorable stay. Personalized, friendly and professional, the staff significantly enhance the guest experience.

However, the retreat does face issues with WiFi connectivity, which has been pointed out multiple times by guests. Improvements in internet quality would enhance the overall experience.

Guests appreciate the private pools attached to their tents, though some mention that better maintenance, heating and privacy enhancements could improve the experience. The parking facilities could also be improved with better shading, signage and accessibility.

In summary, despite minor drawbacks such as WiFi issues, limited dining options and maintenance needs,
Kingfisher Retreat by Sharjah Collection remains a highly recommended destination. Its exceptional location, luxurious accommodations, cleanliness and outstanding staff service provide a unique and tranquil escape, creating lasting memories for its guests.

Summary of reviews
City Plaza Hotel in Fujairah is highly praised for its prime location. Nestled in the heart of the city, it offers convenient access to essential facilities such as restaurants, shops, mosques, laundries, car rentals, grocery stores and the local university. Guests enjoy the central placement, making it easier to explore major attractions and enjoy various dining options. The location also stands out for its reasonable pricing and accessibility, proving especially attractive for those planning a short stay in Fujairah.

Guest experiences with the rooms at
City Plaza Hotel are mixed. On the positive side, many find the rooms comfortable and appreciate the clean environment maintained by housekeeping, at least for some. Guests value the convenience and centrality of the hotel's location, finding it easy to navigate. Nonetheless, the hotel faces several challenges, such as insufficient water pressure, windows that do not open, inconsistent cleanliness and occasional reports of bedbugs. Some rooms suffer from cigarette smoke infiltration, odors and staining. There is a need for more effective quality control and improvement in the oversight by upper management to ensure a consistent guest experience.

Cleanliness remains an area requiring significant improvement. Guests have raised concerns over the upkeep of bathrooms and rooms, frequently citing the presence of bugs, mold and unpleasant odors in corridors and elevators. Dust and dirt on walls, corners and windows, as well as occasional small insects, suggest the need for deep cleaning and pest control. The facilities seem outdated and in need of regular replacement. Additionally, noise from nearby clubs affects the overall comfort, pointing to a need for better noise management.

On a brighter note, the hotel staff receives commendable remarks. Guests consistently point out the accommodating and supportive nature of the staff, particularly the reception team. Members like Ms. Aleena, Hasnain and Mohammad from Pakistan receive special mention for their exceptional service. Overall, the staff is seen as kind, polite and ready to assist, which proves particularly beneficial for first-time visitors. Despite some isolated incidents of rudeness or pushiness for tips and occasional delays in check-out, the prevailing sentiment highlights the excellent service and friendly staff at
City Plaza Hotel.

In summary,
City Plaza Hotel's central location and excellent staff service are its primary strengths. However, it needs to address cleanliness and maintenance issues to enhance the overall guest experience.
