The hotel is generally not bad, but definitely not 5 stars.
+ Pleasant, courteous staff
+ Plenty of pools and a beautiful beach
+ Green area
+ Delicious but monotonous menu
+ Alcohol that doesn't give you a headache
+ Large territory
- An inconvenient entrance to the sea, that is, not a plastic pontoon, but a pier with steps, on which a huge queue always accumulates. When the waves hit the pier, you can scratch yourself.
- Due to the fact that green spaces are fertilized, there is a terrible smell of manure from time to time.
- The inventory and many rooms are very tired, falling apart before our eyes, especially the sun beds and plumbing
- Paid WiFi in all areas except the lobby
- Room cleaning leaves much to be desired: it was scary to walk around the room barefoot, I had to ask for toilet paper on my own, and the countertop in the toilet and shower were not washed at all.
- Dishes and glasses are chipped, you can cut yourself
- The air conditioner wasn't working in our room. My friends' refrigerator wasn't working in their room.
Hotel Review
Advantages:
Large, beautiful and well-maintained territory
Two main restaurants
Helpful, friendly staff
Large living reef, beautiful large beach area
There are plenty of sun beds near the sea, pools, and plenty of room for everyone
Clean rooms
Clean bathrooms on site
The presence of a large number of places to relax, snack and relax
Animation
Beautiful views
Cons:
For those who cannot swim, are afraid of the depth, etc. it is better to choose another hotel. The entrance to the sea is immediately from the pontoon and rapids, where the depth, according to the staff, is 40 meters.
The presence of a large number of thresholds throughout the territory, for people with musculoskeletal problems, it will be difficult to overcome the path to the sea or the main restaurants.
Lack of internet connection. It's only in the Lobby and it's very bad.
To sum up, the hotel is generally quite good. Designed for an unbiased vacationer. Everything that is basic and necessary for recreation is here.
The rooms are a little tired, they provided a good room the second time. The TV does not show Russian channels. Who cares, take this into account, take something with you from home. The bed linen is a bit old, towels too. But everything was changed regularly and cleaning was done every two days. It's nice.
There is table tennis on site for leisure, and a small library in the lobby.
The food is generally good. The waiters are trying very hard. The hotel is constantly being cleaned, washed, and built (the counter does not interfere with rest in any way). We were in an Italian restaurant using the Ala-kart system, we took a free menu, the quality was below average. I don't know why they serve terrible stale vegetables. It's a mystery to me. We didn't go to other restaurants. Maybe it's delicious there.
It takes 30-40 minutes to walk to the Old Town or take a taxi for 2 dollars. There is a Fares cafe there, they cook very tasty and inexpensive. I recommend visiting at least once. Everyone from the receptionist to the waiter is struggling. The prices are fixed, which is also nice, and is not a surprise when paying.
The main walking street of Naama Bay can be reached by taxi for 2.5 dollars. There is a Fixed Price store where you can buy absolutely everything at a good price.
Enjoy your stay, don't be afraid to leave the hotel and travel.
Will I return to this hotel, most likely yes.
In any case, I wish them prosperity and development.
Positive:
- Well-maintained, clean and large territory of the hotel.
- For our taste, good food with a variety of choices and taste qualities. Unprincipled desserts are a special treat.
- Reef Lobby Bar on the territory of the hotel with a beautiful view and a high level of service. Ahmed the bartender is a very customer-oriented and kind person. All the drinks were great.
- The Motion animation team is young and energetic, pleasant communication with vacationers, a cool program. The guys are the real heart of the hotel.
- You can drink herbal water at the reception and the hotel allows you to use the services of the Terrace Bar before checking in and issuing a bracelet.
- Most of the staff are polite and customer-oriented.
- The hotel is undergoing renovation, the transformation is very noticeable.
Cons:
- Stale rooms killed by exploitation. They lived in building 34. One day they couldn't get into the room, the electronic lock died, apparently from old age. The neighbors also had problems with the lock, they could not leave the room, they had to call for help.
- There are no slippers, dental cleaning supplies, water in the rooms (you need to take it at the bar), there was no soap and shampoo when checking in. The bed linen was changed 1 time in 10 days.
- Impudent cleaners. Moreover, there were negative reviews from other guests. Our cleaner knocked every day when we returned to the room, and more than once he came in, created anxiety for us. He came once to say that Russians leave little tips when he cleans so well, although there were many questions about cleaning. On the day of departure, I came and started asking for $10. Although, he was tipped.
- In the hotel, the tip is not a thank you for the excellent work of the staff, but actually an additional fee for the quality and volume of services, which should be included by default.
- The rules at the hotel were invented so that the staff would break them. All billboards indicate that you can not occupy sun beds, however, a bar employee (apparently for money) regularly took good places on the beach with towels for guests, did it around 7 a.m.
- A case of theft has been recorded, towel cards were stolen from the neighbors from the room. But the hotel charges a fine of $ 15 for their loss. Hide the cards on the towels!
- Most of the beach towels are very old, even lost their color.
Recommendations:
- Take mosquito repellents with you: sprays, fumigators. Mosquitoes on the territory of many hotels. For the same reason, it is better not to open the windows in the evening.
The general conclusion:
In our opinion, the hotel does not correspond to five arrivals. Unfortunately, people make the place, not the other way around. I am sure that after the renovation is completed, the hotel will be even more comfortable.
I would like the hotel management to pay attention to the reviews about the staff and work it out for the better to make the guests' stay even more comfortable.
Overall, I liked the hotel. Among the advantages: a large territory, an excellent private beach, delicious food, everything is clean and well maintained, there are many places where you can have a snack during the day, there is a souvenir shop and a pharmacy on site. On the day of departure, the flight was in the evening, the bracelets were not taken away, so we could enjoy all the benefits of all inclusive all day long. Of the cons, the furniture in the rooms is outdated, although it doesn't matter to us, we only spent the night in the room.
I really liked the hotel. A large and well-maintained territory. The food is good and varied. The reef is beautiful, there are a lot of fish. The only disadvantage is that there is no smooth entry into the sea, who does not know how to swim will be scary, although there is always a way out - a vest or a rubber circle or a mattress. The beach is also good, there are always free sun beds, no problem. The animators are great, morning and evening entertainment is daily. I would love to come back again.
We had a rest from December 22, 2024 to January 4, 2025. The hotel is nice, well-maintained, beautiful territory and almost all in the shade. The pools are not heated in winter, and reconstruction is underway in parallel. The staff is very polite and unobtrusive. The food is also good, but the breakfasts are a bit of the same type.There are a lot of sun beds on the beach, umbrellas are large and provide very good shade. The approach from the pier is a good reef, just gorgeous. The room stock is outdated, we were lucky with the room the first time and did not have to move for an additional fee. We were satisfied with our vacation, the hotel, and the service. There are two low-price markets, shops and pharmacies near the hotel.
We had a rest at the end of January and the beginning of February, 2025. I liked the hotel, the area is clean and cleaned all the time.
The food is delicious. It was varied, and I had sushi and fried shrimp for dinner. We went to the reception hall for dinner.
The rooms are spacious, the furniture is not new, of course. We lived on the second floor, and our balcony had a small view of the sea.
The Internet is free only in the lobby and it barely works.
We bought a SIM card with the Internet. The buildings are being renovated on the territory. Convenient location of the hotel, near shopping malls for buying souvenirs and fruits. To the old town, or rather to the market, if you walk about 4 km, take a taxi in 10 minutes.
Animation on the beach, dancing like everywhere else, exercise in the morning on the beach. Yoga at 15:00. The evening show , we went only 2 times in 11 days.
8 pools, but they are all without heating((
The beach is sandy, entering the sea from a plankton.
Volleyball is played in a small corner (( The hotel area is huge, beautiful )))
There are a lot of steps , I'm not used to such a lot.
You can have pizza on the beach at 12:30.
From 15-17 I had ice cream by the pool, and during my stay I learned the numbers of the pools.
There's some kind of water show at the pool on Mondays.
I recommend a hotel to visit, will we definitely come back here? Yes))
I really enjoyed my vacation. The beer is delicious. The food is delicious. The staff is generally great. The territory of the hotel is very large. 10,000 steps without leaving the hotel is easy. Only on the 5th day I remembered more or less where my number is))) The rooms are three-star, but we only sleep there, and that's tolerable. The closet door will fall, or something else. The safe is a separate topic)))) we just had it in the closet, take it and take it away)))) not attached. The TV sets are mostly old.
The hotel as a whole is not bad, there is a lot of greenery everywhere. The food is varied and delicious. But alas, if you are bad at swimming, then obviously not here) entering the sea from a pontoon and not from the steps, but you need to jump into the depths if the tide is out.... the hotel administration cannot make a couple of extra steps for a normal descent and entry, people climb the steps as best they can) half of the guests with skinned knees and nobody cares. And even with small children and at an age, you are definitely not here, there are steps everywhere and it is not very convenient.
Greetings to all. I had a rest from 12/27/2024 - 06.01.2025. A wonderful hotel, amazing cuisine, everything is delicious! The staff is friendly. The room is clean, everything is changed on time. The territory is well maintained, there are many beautifully flowering plants. The administrator Tatiana is always ready to help.
We were in early December, I liked everything) food - there is plenty to choose from a la carte restaurants, and there is plenty of choice in the main restaurant. The service starts to be good, only mostly after tipping, and the staff themselves are not shy about talking about it at all. The numbers are "tired", but when you see a number twice a day, you don't even think about it. There is no Pantone, there is a direct descent to the reef. The reef is beautiful) The territory of the hotel is large, there are many pools, there is a place to walk and take beautiful photos)
The hotel is exactly 4 stars. 5 - I thank the animators for their efforts! The girls and boys did well, they tried to entertain and engage (very unobtrusively, for which we thank them very much) in activities ranging from charging, volleyball and zumba in the morning, ending with dancing in the evenings. If there were no animators, there would be nothing to do in the hotel itself. Entertainment options include 2 pin pong tables.
There are no questions about the beach - its own clean beach, but the sun beds leave much to be desired (a lot of broken ones), but a place could always be found. Entering the water from the pier, immediately to the depth.
There are few questions about food, there is always a choice, both for meat lovers and vegans. There are 2 restaurants, +/- the dishes are the same. Drinks leave much to be desired, cocktails in the bar are always the same, juices in restaurants are diluted with plenty of water.
As for the room stock, if you choose not a "suite", then either prepare money so that you can be moved to a more or less normal room, or you will not live in a very clean and old room. We chose comfort and for $ 20 within 30 minutes we were moved to a more or less normal room (in our price category).
Staying at the hotel left a pleasant impression. 5 stars - definitely not. 3 - probably not enough, in general everything was not bad. A solid 4-plus for this hotel.
We had a rest in April 2024. One of the advantages of the hotel is a large and well-groomed territory, delicious and varied food, very friendly and helpful staff. Of the cons, shallow pools and mosquitoes, it's just a nightmare. Moreover, neither the spray nor the fumigator coped. Entering the sea only from the pier, there are a lot of fish, the water is awesome blue. Immediately the depth and in April the water is cold everywhere, both in the sea and in the pool. The hotel is undergoing renovation, but it does not interfere. The room was a little tired, but it will be fixed soon. The room is clean and this is the most important thing.
In general, I definitely recommend the hotel for this price.
We had a rest in October 2024. We have been to Egypt many times and there is something to compare it with. We really liked it, of course there are minor flaws, so it can be found in almost every hotel. We chose the hotel according to the size of the territory and the reef on the beach. These two indicators are just great. On nutrition: we found something to overeat)))) . For those who are in Egypt for the first time, we recommend a yacht trip. We bought a tour outside the hotel one minute away. The price is $20 per person. I'm just delighted with the trip. Ah, but the quad bike ride impressed only with the views and a cool guide.... The quadrics are old and you drive like on a washboard...
We had a rest in August, I really liked it. It is very pleasant that the hotel is developing. The old fund is being changed and updated. I am pleased with the vegetation on the territory (it is a lot of work to preserve it in such a climate). The food is varied. The beach is great. There are animators who offer entertainment to your liking. There are many pools with clean water (I would like it to be colder). Descent into the sea from the stairs, immediately depth (consider holidays with children and the elderly). But the view in the mask is gorgeous. There are a lot of different fish, corals, and even a turtle was seen. The rooms are comfortable, cleaned every day, everything is clean. The staff is friendly and courteous. Thank you all for a great stay! I want to come back again!
The overall impression of the hotel is excellent. We spent a week in it in the middle of October, and we didn't want to leave at all.
The territory of the hotel is surrounded by greenery, it is so beautiful here that great photos are obtained. There are many pools, each of which has comfortable sun beds.
The beach deserves a special mention. With these palm trees, it looks like a fabulous corner. There were no problems with sun beds, you could always find a free place. The entrance to the sea is good, the depth immediately begins from the pontoon, and you can watch the fish.
The food is varied and delicious. There are many bars here, and there are places where you can have a snack between main meals.
As for the rooms, perhaps some of them are slightly "tired", but this did not spoil our experience.
Animation and entertainment take place every day, and you don't have to be bored.
Definitely, I would return to this hotel again!
A wonderful hotel, I liked everything, because we went to relax, and not to look for cons! The room was clean, the food was excellent. I definitely recommend it! We flew on an Arab airline, the take-off and landing were excellent, and the fact that there is almost no food, so take it with you.The advantage is that the flight is 2 hours shorter than our airlines fly.
We rested here in early August 2024. The territory of the hotel is large and very beautiful, there is a private beach, shops at fixed prices, restaurants, swimming pools. The staff is friendly. It's a little dirty, of course, but on the third day you get used to it)
Food for four. Do not take sausages for breakfast in the dining room, they taste like our sausages "my price" for 50 rubles))) The sea is crystal clear, there are a lot of fish (be sure to bring snorkeling masks with you!). The only thing is that the depth in the sea is immediately large, there is no smooth descent. It's scary for those who swim poorly or do not know how to swim at all. In August, the water is very warm, both in the sea and in the pools.
The rooms are average, but there is construction work going on, both in the rooms themselves and on the hotel grounds, so I think it will get even better over time. There are no toothbrushes, toothpaste, slippers in the rooms. Just towels and two jars of shower gel and shampoo, but I advise you to take all your own anyway, as we did.
Good afternoon) I want to leave my review about the hotels. Only two days ago I flew from warm sunny Egypt to snow-covered Moscow. Thank you so much for a wonderful vacation. The territory is large and green. There are a lot of stairs, so it is difficult for people with problems of the musculoskeletal system and for children. Repairs are underway on the territory, but this does not interfere with rest. 10 pools , but they are not heated. The housing stock is tired, but it was important to me - a comfortable clean bed and towels and working plumbing. There were no animals in the rooms, there are mosquitoes on the street, but our protective equipment did a great job) Animation is on top! I love you guys! Hello Daria!))))There was a concert program every evening. All the staff are polite and pleasant. No one has extorted anything from me. I brought Alenka's chocolate and gave it to everyone) The food is without frills, but the choice is large and unlimited. Fruits: strawberries, plums, apples, guava, dates, pomegranates, melons. A separate conversation oriental sweets- goodbye waist)))) Thank you so much for your attention and service to the waiter Odai. The bar has drinks for every taste. The bartenders are polite and friendly. Boys, thanks for the delicious cocktails) Senior bartender Tamer, bartenders- waiters Joseph Ali , Mohamed- thank you) Along the beach: the sun beds are wooden, old, but fine, the towels are always soft, clean. There have always been places. The entrance to the sea is only through the steps and immediately the depth. It's a little uncomfortable because those who can't swim are sitting and standing on the steps. The reef is beautiful, the fish are extraordinary. After reading the negative reviews, I was very worried. I'm glad that only the air carrier failed to justify themselves ( He stole one day of rest from me, the flight was delayed by 16! Hours(Thanks for the warm welcome)❤
We had a rest in July, a good hotel, I liked almost everything!Excellent cuisine, with a large and varied selection of dishes.There are many pools and a large beach on the territory, no one bothers anyone, there are always sun beds!Drinks, snacks (pizza,burgers,pancakes, waffles and ice cream) all by the pools-the children liked it!Good work of the animators and guides, the staff is friendly!
An amazing hotel, the most responsive staff, delicious food, as well as the amazing work of the hotel's animators!
The only thing that needs to be worked on is the level of alcohol and alcoholic cocktails, they unfortunately leave much to be desired
The room stock is being quietly updated. Repairs are underway on the territory.
The food is excellent, especially lunches and dinners, there was always something interesting: sushi, duck with orange, grilled shrimp, lula. There are also 5 A la Carte restaurants. Everything is great, except the Italian "mafia", disgusting service.
The hotel has a reef, there are a lot of fish there. The entrance to the sea is from the pier, no need to walk along the pantone.
The hotel is not suitable for the elderly and with children. The hotel is multi-level, you need to go downhill a lot.
The hotel divides guests by nation:
1. Russians - a green bracelet, the waiter will not come to you himself.
2. The Germans have a gold bracelet, all drinks are brought to them at the first call.
3. The British have a blue bracelet, for them the most respectable service.
Let's start with the fact that all the locals know that the hotel is 3 stars. (That's what the staff said.) :)
You can see beautiful photos of the hotel on the websites, here are only real photos of rooms in building 34.
It is quite large, the territory is as in the photos, beautiful, a lot of vegetation and palm trees.
70% of the rooms are tired rooms with various breakdowns. All Russian speakers are located in the completely dead building 34.
In the first room, the condee was flowing like a stream, and everything was falling apart before our eyes. At first they did not want to change it, referring to the fact that the master would come and fix it, but then after a conversation they still changed it to the next one.
Everything worked in the "new" room, but it was just as tired. There are a lot of mosquitoes in the rooms. Very much so!! The local mosquito fumigator did not help at all.
The hotel also has a division by nationality.
They glue yellow bracelets to all Europeans and always put them in fresh cases. Faster and more priority maintenance. In plasma rooms, etc.
Locals and Arabs have blue bracelets. The same thing.
Russian speakers have green bracelets. There was not a single foreigner in the 34th building. (We talked to both Russians and Italians.)
The food is the usual three. You won't be hungry. The hotel has a delicious Italian restaurant a la carte - Mafia.
All glasses in bars are washed with ordinary water and are not processed in any way. Everyone we talked to, including us, ate imodium. :)
Bars until 00. Alcohol is like everywhere else in hotels. But the waiters themselves are funny, positive guys. They respond to all requests and wishes.
The sea is clean, the entrance is only from the pontoon, immediately to a depth of ~ 3.5 m. You can swim only up to 18. This is strictly monitored. There are a lot of sun beds, enough for everyone.
There are many pools, all shallow. ~1.9 m.
They also work up to 18 hours. Once in 2 weeks there was a party in the pool. The rest of the time after 18 is closed.
In general, the hotel is 3 out of 5. We flew together for a 189k tour from Moscow. August 2024 is fine for its price, but I think you can find a better one. The old rooms killed the whole impression. Be sure to buy a fumigator and in no case move into the damn building 34!!! :)
As honestly and non-biased as possible (rest 10 nights from 26.09 to 06.10):
1. The hotel is beautiful from the outside, large enough, upon arrival at the hotel, the ongoing landscaping work on its territory was already visible
2. Entrance to the hotel: the lobby is wonderful, beautiful, there are air conditioners, so you immediately feel fresh and cool coming in from the heat. Chairs and sofas (comfortable) are placed throughout the lobby- while waiting for the moment of your check-in, as well as from the moment of check-out to the plane, you can sit / lie down, you can even take a nap (the staff does not pay attention to this). There are also cool drinks to choose from and something like marshmallows near the reception. At the reception, at first glance, the staff did not seem very pleasant and friendly, but over time this opinion changed (but perhaps the receptionist, with whom they communicated at check-in, did not encounter him anymore). We arrived at the hotel at 10 o'clock. We checked in at about 12:30 (although we were supposed to after 14:00, but the room was vacated). Until that time, they were allowed to use the bar for free and go to lunch.
3. Check-in, they took our suitcases, loaded them into the car and took us to the very 34 building (which they settle in immediately, if they don't give "on the paw-in order to get a "suite". We were separately accompanied by a certain missier to our building on foot. He took us to the room, at first glance it was quite tolerable, we said that everything was fine with us and they asked us to tip immediately. Then, literally 5-10 minutes later, the suitcases were brought and tips were also brought.
4. Upon closer examination and prolonged stay as much as 10 days in the room, there were more minuses than pluses:
+: a good big bed, comfortable, clean; the air conditioner worked properly and it was extremely exciting to return from the street to the room in the cool; there was a lot of space and hangers in the closet; there was always hot water in the shower and good pressure.
- the room is very outdated (there are a lot of scuffs, chips, ingrained dirt on the items); only a few sockets worked (one was designed for a TV from the 90s, on one side of the bed, in the shower)- 5 sockets did not work; on the "terrace" there were 2 armchairs and a table and a view into the wall (not to the sea, not to the street, not to the pools, but into a high wall); the refrigerator seemed to work, but the smell was as if something had died there; the bathroom is a separate kind of art: something was leaking near the toilet, everything was scuffed in the sink, it was scary to go into the shower without slippers, there was mold behind the shower). But in principle, it was possible to spend the night, but the situation is still not very good, I hope that rooms in building 34 will be restored sooner or later. By the way, mostly Russian speakers are accommodated in room 34 immediately, using a green bracelet)
5. Cleanliness in the room for 3, it seems to be cleaned, it seems not. We tipped 2 times, we cleaned up, we didn't tip, we cleaned up. The floors were not washed, I washed the shower, the sink and the toilet with one brush, I always made the bed and took out the garbage, I changed the towels only at our request. The kid was constantly cleaning up the music. Guests of other buildings told how the cleaner made various crafts and sculptures from towels and their personal belongings. We only had a plaid folded in a bow a couple of times. But that's okay. Nothing was missing from the room, even if something was left in plain sight.
6. The food is quite good, varied, delicious, there was always something to choose, yes, it can be the same every day, but you could always choose something and somehow combine your plates, there were salads, side dishes, fresh vegetables, beef / lamb / chicken / turkey / white fish / 2 types of soups / in the evening there were rolls, a lot of flour products for breakfast / lunch / dinner-bread is fresh and delicious; there are a lot of sweets; there are always 2 types of juice; there were also fruits (but apples and oranges were whole); various types of packaged tea; the coffee machine broke very often (but it was possible go down to the bar and drink coffee there). So you can safely rate the food well!
7. The bar is excellent, the staff at the bar is excellent: friendly, smiling, friendly, sociable and in Russian (even without tips): they brought drinks as much as you want before 00:00, even after 00:00 they did not kick out. The work of the bar can be evaluated perfectly.
8. The animation is interesting, there were daily dances, programs, sports events both on the hotel grounds and on the beach; the guys gave their best from 9 a.m. to 23 p.m.
9. The territory of the hotel is excellent, clean, there are many pools, there are separate pools with a bar; the pools are not deep, which is important, they were cleaned with bleach every evening, after which they were not allowed to swim until the next morning. There are plenty of sun loungers by the pool, there is a shower to rinse off after swimming.
10. The beach is equipped: there are a lot of sun loungers, umbrellas, sand on the beach, there are 2 showers, there is a DJ, a volleyball court; cafe drinks, hot dogs, pizza. The sea is gorgeous, there is no smooth approach, only from the pier, but it was good; children and the elderly probably won't be very comfortable climbing back onto land; the reef is beautiful; there were no sharks))
In general, the rest was not bad, there are both pros and cons, but perhaps we would not go to this hotel a second time. This is a purely personal opinion about this hotel, but it does not pull 5 stars, or it is the most budget 5.
A 4* hotel.
+ Large territory, lots of greenery
+ A large nice beach with a bar
+ Not bad views, reviews
+ Super pier
+ The hotel itself was obviously super. The main building with the restaurant is currently being renovated. Therefore, you will not receive all the services. But plus, the hotel is good.
+ Ala carte restaurants at least every day, which is not a bad thing. I advise Fusion, the service is good there and the food is served
- Food, little variety. But everything is in fact. They even gave me shrimps and crabs. Often over-salted. The kitchen is still on the 4th floor
- There is almost no animation, no one is invited or entertained
- The reef is simple, but there are fish too
- Service. Bad. They often beg, they do something only for tea. A lot of young people, they don't give a damn. There is no manager at the hotel, and there is no one to drive.
- The rooms are old, but passable. Back to the 4th edge. There is cleaning, but it's a big mistake. The floors will not be washed.
- I don't like that the buildings are very dense. Case to case. You can get lost. A lot of concrete, cramped.
- Repairs are underway now. Dust and buzzing are present.
total. The hotel is not a dump, not bad. 4* boldly. The most disadvantages are: Food, lack of animation, service, or rather its absence. If the price is low, go- if it is on the market, then it is better to have the same Safir waterfols 5* nearby.
One of the advantages: convenient location,
Cons: everything is very very old, sun beds, tables on the beach are all ancient, wooden, constantly falling apart. The rooms have ancient lamp TVs, plaster is falling on your head, and the water in the shower is the color of beer. Despite the room change, the impression of the rest remained unpleasant.
I do not recommend this hotel to anyone!!
The hotel is nice, the territory is beautifully maintained, the staff works perfectly.Room cleaning every day.The food is varied, throughout the day.I liked it, I would recommend the hotel for a vacation.I'll come back.
We had a rest from December 29, 2024 to January 4, 2025. The hotel is nice, well maintained and beautiful grounds. There are no heated pools in winter. The food is fine, but the alcohol is terrible! Except beer. I had to go and buy in stores by myself. Access to the sea from the pier is convenient. For a nice room on the first line, they paid an additional $ 50 on the spot upon arrival. We were satisfied with our vacation.
A terrible hotel that bills itself as a 5-star hotel. There is no gym, although this is a prerequisite for getting 5 stars. The food is average, there is a lot of fat, where the cook can easily forget himself (chatter) and roast the meat until it turns black and give it to the guests. The sun beds on the beach are all ruined, with the paint gone off, and some of the mattresses are torn. I went to an Italian restaurant a la carte - disgusting, I didn't eat it, but they made me pay. The Wi-Fi is only paid, the free one almost doesn't work, the rooms are different, at first I got the most damaged room in this hotel, the plumbing in the bathroom was in lime, the toilet was leaking, the bathroom door was peeling, the headboard by the bed was torn, the next day they moved to the old room, but where everything was much neater. The reception staff is good. And the manager, Mikhail, who sells water excursions on the beach. Everything else is terrible. Very arrogant workers, of whom there are a lot on the territory of the hotel. They're obviously discussing you and throwing something else after you. The same toilet cleaner on the beach. When I didn't come in, he stared at me and said something. There were a lot of Mosquitoes in November.
We arrived at one o'clock in the morning, there is no water or food in the hotel at this time. We were asked at the reception for a normal room with a normal view, we were taken to building 34, it was the deadliest building in the hotel. The photo was attached. Everything is old and broken, the smell of dampness, plus a construction site outside the window, repairs are noisy, drilling is hammering, we have not seen such numbers even in threes. They asked us to change two more rooms, well, they are not better, the only thing is no smell, it is important if you change the room until you have chosen, do not sign the papers at the reception or they will no longer offer options, All the rooms in the hotel are old with huge pot-bellied TVs, What Anex offered us is all lies. With the rooms, the food is further away. The food in the hotel is good, there are many bars and restaurants only from 10 to 21 at other times there is no food, local alcohol from 10 to 24, Dishes are poorly washed, cups have glass and there is disposable plastic, this is of course something for 5 stars. There are a lot of heated pools, so it will be cold in winter. The territory is large and cascading, get ready to get tired, The pools are open until 6 pm. Animation-4 animators boring sad Music from 15 years ago. The Egyptians do not want to develop. The beach is ONLY a PIER, there is no smooth entrance to the sea!!! It will be very difficult for the elderly and children, There are a lot of sun loungers and umbrellas, only old and half-broken , the REEF is normal 40 meters deep, Although the pier is broken steps can be stripped. The advantage is that the bracelets are not cut off at check-out and you can use everything before departure.
The rest is wonderful. Animation every day, both on the beach in the afternoon and at the bar in the evening. The only drawbacks are the standard rooms. The furniture is very old. The sea brightens everything up, insanely beautiful.
Great hotel, we are resting now.
I read negative reviews about the work of Wi-Fi, "tired rooms", old deck chairs, I don't like the food - they didn't serve beef tongue, about the flight delay and the duration of the flight and I don't understand, did people really go to rest at sea?
There is no Wi-Fi, buy a 500r/23GB SIM card. Yes, the TV in the room is still lamp-mounted, why do you need it at all, it takes up space.
The air conditioner is old, it works quite well, do you need "checkers" or go?
The food is very diverse, there is definitely no such thing in Turkey.
The sea is amazing, but the entrance is a pontoon, you can't-into the pool.
It is a very beautiful territory, we are already used to the lack of bulls on the ground, but in the same Cyprus as here, starting from the airport, everything is in bulls. Only "civilized" Europeans smoke on the beach and in the restaurant.
All plumbing is working in the rooms.
We don't care about the friendliness of the staff, the food is a buffet, we can open the doors ourselves.
There are also quite popular activities during the day, various performances such as belly dancing, flybots, concerts, etc.
I do not recommend the hotel for small children and the elderly, the second name of the hotel is "The Hotel of a thousand stairs".
A wonderful hotel, but there is still renovation, the piano of which I think will be even better. The furniture is changing. One disadvantage for tourists with children is the lack of exits, only a lot of stairs. The entrance to the sea is from the stairs, and there is always a crowd and immediately very deep. So it is also difficult to swim with children.
The hotel is normal. Of course, the rooms are slightly battered, but the main thing is where to sleep and the air conditioner works. The territory is huge. The entrance to the sea from the pier and immediately deep, I do not advise those who do not know how to swim. Swimming in a mask is just a fairy tale. The coral reef is full of different fish. The food is good, especially sweets. Wi-Fi is free only at the reception, it is impossible to send a message during rush hours. On the third day I couldn't stand it, I took a paid Wi-Fi for two for a week of $ 35
The gorgeous territory of the hotel.
There are many pools . The rooms are clean. The service is excellent. Food is a huge choice and you will not stay hungry.
Great reef and lots of fish.
Animation on the beach and in the evenings - they will not let you get bored. Drinks are varied.
We were at this hotel in April 2024.Very nice clean and beautiful hotel. The food is varied. Beautiful sea. At first, I was upset that there was no access to the sea and that it was deep, because I don't swim well. But later, on the contrary, it became a plus. I bought a mask and a life jacket and enjoyed the beauty of the underwater world. We plan to go to the same hotel again next vacation.
We had a rest from December 8 to December 18, 2024.We arrived in the morning, we were already at the hotel at about 10 o'clock, we were immediately sent for breakfast, check-in after 14 o'clock, but we waited 40 minutes and hooray, we were offered a room, quite normal: a large room, a loggia with two armchairs and a table, the shower is also large, the water is always hot, there are detergents, toilet paper too, safe in the closet, TV is normal, there are Russian channels. Cleaning every day, towels were changed every day too (I gave chocolates). The food is normal, varied, fish, meat, chicken every day, there is plenty to choose from, pastries and cakes are generally just a "song"-very tasty, fruits every day:plum, melon, pomegranate, apples, dates, persimmon, guava, kiwi, oranges, tangerines, bananas, drinks:Coffee, tea, juices, and wine were served at lunch. During the day and until the evening you can have a snack on the beach, juices and beer are always cold, there has always been ice, ice cream and pancakes in the cafe on site every day from 15 to 17. There are many pools on the territory, but without heating, the water in them is cold, the sea is much warmer, but access to the sea is only from the pier, and the depth is 40 meters at once, there are a lot of fish, very beautiful, they can be seen directly from the pier. The territory of the hotel is large and beautiful. The girls were Russian animators, they tried very hard, every evening there were entertainments: hotel misses, a white party, dancers, gymnasts were invited, in general, they did not let you get bored. To all the staff of the hotel, thank you so much for my husband's anniversary - we had dinner at the restaurant. And of course, it was not without a "fly in the ointment", it refers to the guide F. Pegasus, offered excursions, praised, showed photos, in the end it turned out to be 40 percent true, it was possible to buy this tour half cheaper in Cheburashka, free trips to shops and pharmacies (probably also bought), just went to other pharmacies and shops, where the same goods are three times cheaper. Well, that's how it is, have a good rest, happy New Year!!!
The territory of the hotel is huge and green.The landscape designers did a good job. In the evening, beautiful illumination of the entire territory. We tried great oriental sweets. There are many restaurants and snack bars.The Pastry Chef Is a Master. The beach is clean and cozy, but for an amateur, the depth is about 30 meters at once. The disadvantage of the hotel is the tedious, constant extortion of tips from cleaners and porters. There is no such thing in restaurants, so the waiters were tipped heartily.
The hotel is good. Average. But for some reason, I really liked the atmosphere in it. The food is for four, but it's okay. And the most difficult thing is the descent to the sea. Here is a tryndets. You can't go to the sea with small children. Immediately the depth is 40 m. Scary. It was at the end of February, the wind, the water is cool, there is a storm before lunch, they do not let you into the water. As it is, it's fine. It is clear that the Egyptians tried very hard.
Rubles are accepted everywhere. Not everywhere, of course, but they are accepted in large stores. Very convenient.
Russian-speaking staff, very polite and caring. There is no need to take up space on the sun beds, 3 piers, the sea is just a fairy tale, a living reef. I was delighted with the mask swims. The menu is varied, there is a lot of choice of what to eat. The rooms are clean, cleaned every day. Despite the fact that some buildings are being renovated there, this has never prevented us. A beautiful huge territory. I really liked to relax there. And at the airport, on the way back, while we were standing in line, we talked with tourists from different hotels. And what do you think ours turned out to be the best in all respects!!!
I will support many reviews: a huge clean and well-groomed territory and a sooo beautiful sea, a lot of beautiful fish. We were satisfied with the food-meat, fish, chicken, vegetables, side dishes, desserts-always varied, 2 types of soup, a couple of times there were squid. plus several restaurants that you can visit 1 time for free, plus several bars that always have something to eat. cons are numbers (service): despite the fresh repairs, the cleaning is almost zero, everything breaks down, is repaired and breaks down again immediately after the master leaves, and then you will wait for figs: the standard answer is 5 minutes, which last for hours. Upon check-in, clean bed linen was laid 3 times. And mosquitoes - there are thousands of them, until they bought a fumigator, nothing helped.
We rested for a month, the staff is good, everyone is friendly and smiling))
Do not TAKE a massage on the beach for anything, firstly, not a massage, but a clean stroke, secondly, if you say that you did not like it and want a refund, they will turn you from head to toe and say that you are lying))) you will see completely different people))
Tatiana (the hotel manager) special thanks, solves all questions for one or two))
Always helps, closes all questions on the day of treatment) helped us a lot on this vacation))
There are a lot of mosquitoes, everything was closed, but apparently they flew through the ventilation, take the funds with you.
The sea is very beautiful. There are a lot of fish. The entry into the sea is not smooth, personally I need it, I jumped off and that's it))
The food is peculiar, heavy, it did not suit us, I wanted to cook on my own, but there is nowhere)) we didn't like the taste either, there's not enough seafood.
But on vacation they did not recover as they almost did not eat 😄
The tour operator has excursions, prices are cosmos... Misha sells excursions on the beach, highly recommend, good prices, speaks Russian.
The territory is large, green, beautiful)
In general, I liked the rest))
Oh, yes, also, do not change dollars for local money, they love dollars everywhere, they do not like to take pounds from tourists))) or do a frenzied course))
Nice hotel, smiling staff, beautiful beach, good buffet selection and great drinks in the bars. It feels like the hotel has not been in the first years of freshness, but they are doing repairs and will fix it soon, I recommend it.
If on vacation in Egypt, the sea, the beach, the green area, cool animation are in the first place for you, I definitely recommend this hotel!!! The beach is clean, panton is short and immediately deep. The coral reef is simply magnificent, a sea of different kinds of fish. You don't need to go somewhere to see the beauty of the red sea. The animation guys are great - they don't let you get bored. There are two bars on the beach: beachbar and grill bar. The food in them is decent, you don't have to go to the restaurant. The territory is green and very well maintained. There is a slight unpleasant smell in the morning, but it is not a sewer. Most likely some kind of fertilizer. In the afternoon and evening, there is no smell anymore.
Of the cons:
1. Tired rooms, but this is the case in almost all hotels
2. To clean the room, you need to call the reception and call the master of cleanliness...
3. The food is meager and monotonous, but do not wake up cold
4. There is no kettle in the room, but they will bring it for an additional fee. There is also tea, coffee, sugar and a carton of milk
5. Coffee is disgusting! Take it with you.
6. There are mosquitoes in the evening. Take the spray and there will be no problems
7. There are a lot of steps, but this is a minus only for older people. It was only a plus for me.
But of course all these disadvantages are nothing compared to the beauty of the sea and the territory.
We were in May 2023, the only drawback is a little tired rooms, but the staff does everything in their power for a good rest for customers, I really liked the nature, there are a lot of flowers everywhere (Opatija in Croatia was very reminiscent), a lot of different animals, a reef in two directions from the descent into the water, you can watch fish and swim, a child(6 years old) I really liked it, I swam for several hours. For those who love pools, there are an incredible number of them, we have not counted them. The food is not bad, but for Egypt you can say VIP, I liked the restaurant of Libyan cuisine, we ate so much that we barely left. The atmosphere in the hotel is wonderful, there are many Russians, there are Germans, there was even an Irishman (John hello to you), everything is very friendly. There are shops, pharmacies near the hotel, everything can be purchased. It is felt, in general, in Egypt, that due to the non-arrival of Russians, the country has become impoverished, there is less money. I took a massage, great guys, thank you very much, we washed everything, the session lasted 1-20 minutes instead of 45, without additional payments. The staff, as I said, is very friendly, the guys want to go to them and do their best, they brought a small bouquet of flowers to my wife every morning, like a trifle, but it's nice, and so on in everything. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
The hotel is super now only the atmosphere is there, the food is such a coral reef and the territory is 100000% animated, we are thrilled just to be sent there)😍
Not a bad location. The beach is nice. Beautiful reef, lots of fish. Entrance to the sea from Panton. Depth 40 m. Good animation on the beach.
The territory is large, beautiful, but at the moment there is a grand renovation of cottages. The whole day the noise of punchers, cement dust everywhere! Tour agents do not warn about this! They don't know🤷♀️
I didn't like the food, there seems to be a lot of everything, but there is nothing to eat except sweets. Although we are not at all picky in this regard.
The cuisine in general is like everywhere else in Egypt. you can eat) in addition to the "canteen" there are several food courts: "burger" and "pancake" by the pools, "pizzeria" and "grill" on the beach. The grill is quite passable, the pizza is so-so, the burgers are also edible, but the pancake house was always empty... In general, everything is fine for the hotel, but room cleaning must be ordered and be in the room during cleaning, so do not expect that they will be cleaned in your absence.
The beach is sandy, the entrance to the sea is only from the "pier" by stairs, there is no shallow water, immediately a cliff with a depth of about. The territory of the hotel has a "mountainous" relief with a bunch of stairs. In general, not the worst option, but there is a better one. the main attraction is its own reef (cliff in the sea) with gorgeous flora and fauna, a variety of fish, including barracudas and moray eels at the cliff to the right of the pier, various stingrays, cuttlefish, etc.
The food was very salty, the meat was all tough, only beef was made from meat, and very rarely chicken was given. The breakfasts were always the same, no variety. You could only eat in the grill bar, and sometimes the meat was not fully cooked there. The rooms in the hotel are very old: we checked into the room, and the safe, telephone, shower and air conditioning did not work there. The craftsmen came, sat for almost four hours and eventually made only a safe and a phone. The room was dirty. The staff was very biased towards the Russians. The territory is being renovated right under the windows, and the territory itself is large, but these houses are put everywhere, and it turns out such a maze. In the early days, you can get lost. The reef was beautiful, but there was no shore where you could walk and just wet your feet. You need to go to the bridge and enter the sea from it. You go into the sea, and there is 50 meters of depth under you. There is no entertainment for children here. In general, I do not recommend this hotel. The photo will show the renovation right under the windows and the salad that was given in the restaurant at the hotel.
