We wanted to try 1 time to celebrate New Year in Egypt. Chose the cheapest with NG dinner cost 500 bucks for 7 hours. for 2x. The hotel exceeded my expectations: good food for a 3 * was always meat and chicken, a lot of sweets and salads. Settled in a cool room with a sea view right above the beach with an official surcharge of 5 bucks per room per night.

The hotel exceeded my expectations: good food for a 3 * was always meat and chicken, a lot of sweets and salads. Settled in a cool room with a sea view right above the beach with an official surcharge of 5 bucks per room per night. Food in the dining room and alcohol (beer from 1 pm) until 11 pm without restrictions. Friendly staff, regular cleaning.
The territory is beautiful, it is convenient to sunbathe right at the pool bar, the sun is there until 16h. The sea behind the breakwater is comfortable for December, the reef is not very lively, but there are enough fish, there was even a big lionfish. The winds were not very strong, the temperature was 22-24 degrees during the day (except for a shower with hail on January 1 and a flood in Hurghada, but swimming in the rain in the sea in Egypt and a rainbow... that's something).
Well, then there were delays at the airport, the scoreboard and luggage conveyors did not work. There is no animation, which is not even bad as it turned out. Hall for disco opened current 30 and NG. NG show program with dancing for about an hour, gala dinner (with seafood and huge cakes), disco until the morning. In general, for the money the hotel made a good impression, probably in the season it was even better if there was no invasion of the Arabs. But the weight is equal to NG better at home under Olivier.

They asked for water, tea, coffee, nothing was allowed, at 12 they took room r46, a view of the construction site, the room was killed, covered in dust, there was a cleaner in the room, looked like dust with white towels, the cabinet door fell off immediately, TV, refrigerator, shower, no safe.

The food is monotonous, deliciously cooked, meat, chicken, fish were allocated, there was no choice, lunch and dinner, or chicken or meat, a lot of vegetables, melon, guava, orange from fruits. Local alcohol, beer for a fee.
One plus is the sea. To the beach a minute, the beach is rocky sandy. The sea is clean and warm. No animation. Near the paid bar, drunken tourists turn on their songs and dance. Dinner until 21 pm. We went to the Sheraton center on local minibuses, the ticket was 2 pounds. Our flight was delayed for 16 hours, instead of 09.10 min 18.11, flight 19.11 at one in the morning. At 12.00 we were cut off the bracelets and asked to leave the room, we were taken from the hotel at 21.45. When asked to extend the room, they said that everything was already taken, although the key was on the glass at the reception until 18.00.
At any request for water, coffee, we were told the finish, everything is the finish for you, we were delayed through no fault of our own, and would it really be that if we drank a couple of glasses of water or coffee, would we damage the hotel? Where hospitality, solidarity and respect are just for people, we were 2 people who had their flight delayed for the entire hotel. From the reception side, they saw only smirks and humiliation, I DO NOT recommend this hotel. Better to pay up and go to normal.

In general, having read positive reviews here, I want to clarify this matter... I managed to come here in September-October 2020, it was a rescheduled tour due to covid, from February, without surcharges, so cheap for the velvet season . It's not that I didn't like the hotel, it just starts to annoy for 2 days.

It's not that I didn't like the hotel, it just starts to annoy for 2 days. Settled in a more or less normal room, and that's all that can be said positive.
Dirty, the canteen is dirty, filthy, the general state of decline and degradation, this is all that was felt while relaxing there, a full hotel of Egyptians and local harassment of women, these are just cherries on the cake. Breakfast as such is just a name, lunch and dinner more or less.
And the sea and the beach... It's something in general... It's just the worst hotel we've ever been in during our travels.

I did not choose a hotel, but simply the cheapest tour, to escape in the middle of winter, a change of scenery and not much rest. I planned all trips around Egypt in advance, even before the flight to rest, and contacted the local guides, discussed the dates and prices. Therefore, he knew the whole alignment for a week's rest.

Hotel. Located in the old part of the city. Away and in silence from the "movements" of youth. The food is monotonous. Soups did not take. The choice of salads and second courses is the same. Potato, rice, vermicelli. Meat was given once a day and one serving, the cook himself was on the issue. From fruits only tangerines. I didn’t go swimming, the constant wind from the sea, cool, +20 degrees, +10-12 degrees at night, but the excursions are not hot. Cairo, Luxor. The staff is responsive. Guests are welcome (this is their income). Cleaning the room on the principle of dusting off the table and making the bed. For a daily tip of $ 1, they began to twist swans, hearts and more out of a towel.
Do not even rely on Wi-Fi, even near the reception you will hardly catch it. I bought a local Etisalat operator card through a guide. Paid 7$. I needed the Internet for Google maps and orientation around the city and country, Viber to communicate with home and children - that's all. A week without Facebook and other rubbish!
The beach is small, narrow, extended due to the breakwater, 100 meters from the shore there is a coral reef. The neighbor swam, even saw a stingray, except for colored children and sea urchins. I can’t imagine what kind of hustle and bustle during the swimming season on the beach, the entrance to the sea is inconvenient, it’s better to wear special slippers, I couldn’t walk on the pebbles at all, my legs were weaned, and it hurts, and the sunset along the coast with sand, a width of 50 meters. We went swimming on a yacht and dived on corals! Good luck to all!

Everything went smoothly in the hotel, as for the four it is quite good. The room suited us, there are no complaints about the cleaning. The food was average, there was enough of everything, but it did not differ in a strong variety. Everything was good with the beach and the territory, as in the description.

There are no comments to the staff, to the guide either. We went on excursions, we were satisfied.

Chosen according to the following parameters: - low cost; - own beach with corals; - good feedback. The kitchen is not the highest class, but everything is fresh, quite diverse. The staff is smiling, sociable, with humor, and even more or less understands the boundaries. Quite satisfied with the service.

The sea is excellent. The real coral reef is always available!
The furniture in the room is new. The rooms are excellent (we lived on the first floor).
Cons: very small cups and weird plastic cups for drinks.

Repelled from the fact that the first line and the price. We arrived in the morning and they immediately found a free room. If you walk around the room, they cleaned it rather carelessly. The staff was nice, kind. In terms of nutrition, everything is fine, the usual buffet is enough for a week. The night shift is all in English, but there were a couple of guys who understood something.

Take excursions so that you don’t get bored, there is no huge territory where you can take a walk, only the beach. From the guide is more expensive, but better.

We were looking for a hotel in the center to have free access to the vegetable or fish market, because we wanted not just to relax, but also to taste gastronomy, we were looking for a bay, and that from Kiev we could immediately book a room from sea view, so as not to wait in the hotel, not to find out whether there is a room with sea view or not, with extra charge or without, we wanted the issue with the settlement to be resolved immediately.

All these parameters coincided, and the price for the Sand Beach Hotel was good, so we stayed there. The room was clean, neat, cleaned normally, every day, we did not expect anything special, because we understood that this hotel has 3 *. As for food, there was enough food, but it is not very diverse. There were almost no fish, little fruit, but there were markets nearby as we wanted.
I would like to note that with us, the hotel was renovated in some rooms, and also built not a large water park, so I think next year, there will be a water park and renovated rooms.

Cozy hotel with a clean, green area. To the central market on foot 20 minutes, and on (any passing) minibus - $0.1=2LE. The hotel's beach is shared with the neighboring one. The beds are comfortable but worn. The beach has its own pier, from which there is a stepped descent into the sea, as well as a solid metal staircase.

Cozy hotel with a clean, green area. To the central market on foot 20 minutes, and on (any passing) minibus - $0.1=2LE.
The hotel's beach is shared with the neighboring one. The beds are comfortable but worn. The beach has its own pier, from which there is a stepped descent into the sea, as well as a solid metal staircase. For corals, you need to swim to the right, for the neighboring pier.
Maybe because there were few vacationers, everything was very pleasant. Most are Arabs, but all behaved very decorously and nobly. Perhaps also because the children were already in schools.
All rooms have a side sea view. The staff at the reception speaks Russian, in the restaurant - a couple of waiters speak excellent English. The staff on the beach and in the bars can also communicate in English-Russian. Safe - at the reception, for 10LE=$0.6 per day. Excellent pools, though they did not bathe (after all, the sea is nearby). I did not hear the smell of bleach, which they complain about here.
The kitchen is solid, but without frills and without free alcohol (water, tea - for free). With a small number of guests - they cook individually, without a choice.
The hotel was better than expected and totally worth the price.

Went with a friend. In Egypt 6 times. We chose this hotel because of its location in the old city (nice area) and the price for 19 nights is 1167 dollars for two - it's just super. The most important thing is the first line, the sea, the coral reef and the number of days of stay. They gave us a great room right away.

The most important thing is the first line, the sea, the coral reef and the number of days of stay. They gave us a great room right away. Two steps from the beach. Food is normal. We had enough. We also do not cook 10 dishes at home. There was no beer on the beach, only local spirits. It's probably important to someone. We didn't care, because brought alcohol with them. Who expects feeders from this hotel as in 4-5 stars - you are not here. Entering the sea is desirable in corals or from the pier. The hotel is budget. There is no animation in the hotel. We took a speaker with us and listened to music. The hotel sometimes hosts weddings - we were not annoyed. It was interesting to see. Although it is difficult to call a wedding. It differs from ours. They came and yelled, sat down and left. In general, we really liked the hotel. We will come again, because the price for this hotel is the cheapest.
