The Sharon is the northernmost hotel on the strip overlooking the water and close to a town square locals frequent for shopping and a bite to eat. Rooms here are cozy and decorated in earth tones, and several face the garden near the outdoor seawater pool. The hotel caters to a wide variety of guests, including tour groups. For families traveling with children, there's an activities club that runs during the summer months, on holidays, and on weekends. Pros: homey atmosphere with a sense of local color. Cons: most rooms do not have sea views; tourist-group traffic can make for noisy lobby hours morning and evening.
